  • I have personally ordered heavier machines from China and I have had nothing but positive experiences.

    For example a pallet jack, electric. A toyota one is easily over 10,000 and I am sure they are very reliable. But I can get a capable 1.5 ton pallet jack from china for 1,100 that I have had zero issues out of except for a piece that was cosmetically damaged during shipping. I can’t say that they are comparable in quality as I’ve only had it for around a year but I’ve also had zero issues out of it. And for a 1/10 of the price it has excellent welds, great battery, great safety measures.

    America was beaten long ago in manufacturing and now the average American is realizing that and is buying from China. So of course America has to shut that off.

    I hope China will find a way around these tariffs but it’s beginning to look unlikely.

    P.S.

    Farming equipment as well is very cheaply produced in China, most wrap for hay come from China already. China makes excellent tractors big and small.

    The only reason Chinese farm equipment isn’t huge is because America subsidizes farmers so much.



  • There is an issue going over what happened.

    https://github.com/h4h13/paisa-app/issues/2

    I’m gonna be honest Paisa was under agpl 3 and it explicitly states you can’t just change the license.

    If my non-lawyer interpration is correct.

    But then again maybe I am misunderstanding that



  • I’ve found linux support to be stupendous. I am running fedora silverblue and I can’t think of anything that didn’t work out of the box.

    Even the fingerprint sensor!!!

    Framework has really great forums and pages dedicated to linux. I even get firmware updates through ufw no problem.

    Great build quality, amazing repairability, performance for the price is pretty decent. The keyboard is even pretty good.

    It’s probably one of my favorite laptops I’ve ever used.












  • You probably shouldn’t be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

    I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are “arch but easy” but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn’t always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it’s not worth it.

    If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it’s hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc… and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.
