Nope, Malaysia. I’ve traded a crazy hustle for quality of life.

As long as the loans aren’t paid off though, running the stock into the ground would result in margin calls. An empire built on borrowed money with loans secured only through the value of the empire itself can be a fragile construct.

Location, location, location. I’m living a great life, missing nothing, and my monthly expenses are below $1500 a month (excluding travels, including medical insurance). That’s for a 2 person household in a 1600ft² 4BR rental house nearby a larger city (350k population).

ASUS RT-AX88U with Merlin firmware. Running stable since 2019 or so.

Sure, it’s being done. Xiaomi TVs have custom ROMs available, and I’m sure a bunch of others. Thing is, state of the art TVs are are not exactly cheap, and you need one to hack it in the first place. Most hackers do it for free, so they can’t exactly go on a spending spree.

Sure, waste electricity while being unable to use the TV as intended, and cause some additional wear & tear. Great idea.

The regular shield does just fine for me, I can attach hard drives to my router and mount them as smb shares, and then access movies with VLC Player.

Smart Tube Next is developed for TV only. Works like a charm.

Don’t use the .com website with the same name!

That’s been discontinued, Tubular is the active fork.

That’s not what this is about, the article is simply garbage. They are enforcing a kernel level anti-cheating system that is incompatible with Linux (where no third party gets kernel access, and rightly so). This locks out all Linux players, including Steam Deck.

How about you tell us which show, that way at least someone might have a pointer for you.

Ed Sheeran. Specifically because he’s not an actor and would stumble through the movie just like I stumbled through life. All ginger, no plan.

I’ve got three numbers basically, for a frugal, normal, and lavish retirement. I’m past frugal and should meet normal within 5 years or so. I have a small number of employee shares in my company which is planning to go public in 3-5 years.

So my plan is to ride it out - by then I’ll have reached “normal” through my regular savings, and if the IPO is successful, would beam me straight into lavish territory. If not, I’ll just stick to what I have and call it a day. Never been a big spender anyway.

All fair and good, but that kid has been named without government interference, so the name is legally given. So they shouldn’t be able to then deny an identification document later.

Started diversifying my portfolio by adding term deposits and government bonds to the mix, just to mitigate market movements during the withdrawal phase. It’s getting real!

I have to say, the current season is quite dull. So far I haven’t seen any tasks with a wow-factor (remember names of some mannequins, really???), and the cast doesn’t really seem to warm up to each other like in most previous seasons. I know it’s still early days, but as of now, it looks very uninspired. Shoutout to Rosie though, she’s the star of the show already. Her price task had me in tears (and the one from the first episode was by far the best as well).

Wait, aren’t you allowed to receive your salary in cash? As long as your employer deducts your income tax and social security contributions accordingly, there is nothing illegal about this procedure. It’s uncommon for sure, but not impossible.

Mozilla doesn’t operate a VPN, they are just a reseller for a branded Mullvad version. For them it’s merely an extra income stream with next to no maintenance, so that is something I can approve of. Mullvad is pretty amazing (though cheaper than through Mozilla).

Different pretense, if a kid is identified as a victim, authorities will be informed since they haven’t reached maturity yet, and the alleged perpetrator is the legal guardian.

If an adult falls victim to sexual abuse, they will not inform any authorities on their behalf but leave it to the person.

That’s Finland. Sweden has been on a decline.
