On accessing Youtube: I’ve been using FreeTube for years and it’s great, it even has support for Sponsorblock, and your subscriptions are stored offline in the app, among other benefits. For the browser, there is also the Libredirect extension, which you can use to easily redirect to Piped or Invidious instances.
If you manage to get yt-dlp to work (btw check that you have the latest version), I’ve also used the “play with MPV” Firefox extension in the past.
Tasker: I haven’t used it, but I’ve seen useful automations over the years from people online and I would probably use a good FOSS alternative.
Not sure about the name of the systems, and I’ve seen them change names a lot over the years
But I think it’s a pretty universal thing in the EU, that you’re able to pay directly using an IBAN, I’ve even seen “direct bank tranfer” in stores that sell across the EU
I used Aramex’s shop&ship (both times), I found them from Courier Center’s website.
The cost was a bit much, but nothing compared to the laptop itself (and also I really didn’t want to buy yet another laptop that in a few years would be obsolete and unrepairable).
The laptop’s order shipping was €70 and it took ~10 days after it arrived at their location. You can compare the shipping cost to/from various countries, my DIY package was 4.5kg
Edit: just a few days after making this comment, I received an email from Framework that they started shipping to Greece, among other countries!
Just leaving this here in case you don’t know: there are also the Framework laptops, which are designed to be modular, upgradable, and have easy to buy replacement parts.
They even sell motherboards, so you can now get a e.g. Intel Core Ultra motherboard for your 3-4 year old laptop.
Of course It’s a bit more expensive than a used 10 year old Thinkpad, but it kind of competes with other high end laptops, and it is cheaper especially when you consider it’s designed to last more
(Not a sponsored post, just glad there is a company that makes such products, and that when I broke a part I could just go to their store and order a replacement instead of searching for serial numbers on random online stores etc like I’ve done before)
Thank you for this tip! I saw your comment and I checked my 2FA app, Aegis, and it has a “Steam” option as well!
(When creating an entry, you can just select “Type: Steam” instead of “TOTP”)
