new grinder from 1zpresso (ee-zi-presso). It's just an old Q2, but with plastic case and cheaper price. Great choice as a first coffee grinder for beginners or a camping option.

1zpresso is a Taiwanese company, they are manufactured in China.

All day long problems with Proton VPN and you know what works without any problems 😅 #nostr

Proton VPN works too, but for some reason only on Linux and not on Android.

good morning #nostr 😎

Brewing Ethiopia in V60 for 2.5-3.5 is just unreal 🤣 The filter clogs instantly.

So tomorrow a Chinese guy will write a great Nostr relay, you won't use it because it's Chinese and the guy is a communist or secretly related to the CCP.

There is a huge amount of excellent open source software in China, moreover, the most effective tools of overcome the restrictions we use in Russia are written by the Chinese.

Yes, Chinese online services do work with the authorities, but you're very naive if you think it's any different in the US and Europe. Even Proton leaked data at the first request of the authorities.

I don't like Saw movies, but Saw X is quite good. Also, I forgot how awesome this track is https://video.nostr.build/fd47c205a00f1fadc3baf4f75675edc309151032145ddceff6b05d148bced93d.mp4

There are a few problems 😅 Japanese Pixel 7a costs 350 USD here (most likely refurbished) and has no warranty. To understand how much money that is: 350 dollars is three months of all my housing expenses (electricity, heat, etc.)

Modern Egyptians are the only thing I don't like about Egypt.

Tired of Chinese smartphones. Yes, there's no Google and that's a huge plus, but it's full of Chinese crap software and services and that's a minus.

I'm thinking of buying some Pixel 7a and installing GrapheneOS on it.

There are Russian smartphones with Sailfish OS, but they are seriously overpriced.

In a particularly extreme case, there is always a local with dollars and bitcoins who will gladly work with your "wallet" and solve problems with businesses and authorities. Yes, it's expensive, but if you're too lazy to figure it out yourself, it's acceptable.

Don't tell me these fairy tales 😂 All the Chinese I know get both dollars and bitcoin without any problems. If there is demand, there will be supply. Not to mention that in Russia and Kazakhstan, many banks simply accept yuan.

Stepping out of an electric car into a high-speed train, you have no idea how people live in Cuba. There are no shopping malls, no Sichuan cuisine, no modern factories. Australia does not export all its wheat there, Europe does not buy all its clothes from Cuba.

Cuba in the 19th century. Only medicine there is still more or less at an acceptable level. Sure, China is big, and it has richer regions and less rich regions, but I'm sure even the poorest Chinese region earns more than all of Cuba.
