  • Gaskets brother, waterproof phones existed for a long time, they have been there since phones had SIM cards under their batteries

    Look at things like mechanical watches where a watch that is rated for less than 100 meters of depth in dry test chamber is called “delicate” even though you can unskrew both the crown and the back with your hands on pretty much all of them




  • I actually think OpenStreetMaps have much more content. In my town Google shows roads and houses. OSM shows me everything down to fences, entrances, beach boardwalks, positions of every single trailer in our nearby tourist housing and more. This is critical when you’re a delivery guy and you need to know where the entrance to the gated facility is. I used Waze to drive, and then OSM Viewer to walk. Even when you zoom in on an empty spot in Google, OSM shows type of land, elevation, where the trees are if there are any, who is the owner of the land if it’s owned by a company. I also like that it shows what factories are called and their land border, instead of just unnamed boxes. Worked for me both in Ukraine and in Ireland.



  • I’m pretty sure it’s the same as eastern europe, where literally no one bought Windows ever and just pirated, so sanctions do nothing

    I’m from Ukraine and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone buying Windows like… ever, I guess if it’s preinstalled on laptops, but many of them were sold without OS for that reason

    Microsoft doesn’t care because that’s exactly how they made a monopoly in eastern europe’s office space before linux became popular enough
