The Framework 12 has a touchscreen, which the OP wants. I have the 13 and can vouch for it’s quality and upgradibility.

Though, OP also only wants to spend 300€ max used, so, both of our posts are out of the running.

Run it via the terminal, this will usually give you some more detailed error messages to work with. After doing that, post them here and we can help better.

Donald Trump wants Kyiv to hand over its natural resources as “payback” in return for weapons delivered

We get our payback every time we send lethal aid. The soviet military inheritance is now smouldering wreckage, and a whole lot of invaders are no longer around to kill people.

The more weapons and support we send Ukraine, the higher returns we receive.

From the source:

In the case of Vyacheslavova and Others v. Ukraine the Court held that there had been violations of the right to life/investigation on account of the authorities’ failure to do everything that could reasonably be expected of them to prevent the violence in Odesa on 2 May 2014, to stop that violence after its outbreak, to ensure timely rescue measures for people trapped in the fire, and to institute and conduct an effective investigation into the events. It also held that there had been a violation of the right to respect for private and family life in respect of one applicant concerning the delay in handing over her father’s body for burial.

Europe is fucked. Always gotta have America do everything! ;p

That’s just good planning. Natural disasters can easily require more than that in supplies. Buying extra cans and a few gallons of water isn’t expensive.

We can also change a single variable and have him sell 30% of it.

And if he sells 30% of it to people of ‘the wrong race’, South Africa still won’t allow in the company. The critical variable is the race of the owner(s); South Africa is demonstrably discriminating based on race.

Under current conditions Starlink cannot exist in South Africa. If we change a single variable, Musk’s race to black, then Starlink can exist in South Africa (it would be >30% owned by a black person).

South Africa is discriminating based on race.

The article literally says South Africa bans Starlink due to the race of the owner. As his race does not meet South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations:

Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Musk’s SpaceX, has been unable to enter the South African market due to the country’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. These laws require that companies providing communication services be at least 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups to receive an operating license.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Post some original content, comment on posts, add value.

Things to try:

• Update your BIOS, this will likely solve the issue since things are working fine with your prior CPU.
• If you are running an XMP/EXPO profile, turn it off, as it might be making your system unstable.
• Memtest. Run it for at least a full cycle (which takes about an hour). If you see more than a single error, then there is something wrong with your RAM.

Russia is in their 4th year invading a European country and the US is looking to back out from their support in the defense of Europe. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Yeah, this is basically the least offensive thing possible that ensures the lights stay on.

When I switched away from gmail, I found it to overall be pretty straightforward. Whenever I would log into a service, I update the email. Any service I didn’t log into clearly doesn’t matter enough to me. My gmail is now a spam account for old shit I don’t care about.

Yeah, seems to be the carrot and stick approach. Biden provided the carrot a few years ago (subsidies for new US plants) and Trump is providing the stick (tariffs for offshore imports).

The US makes chips. Notably Intel and TSMC have US fabs.

It’s a variety of factors. With the biggest one being leaders worried that burdening their own people would just get the entire thing canned. If you talk about cutting social programs or raising taxes, people are going to get pretty pissy real quick. Leaders want to give as much as they can, without having to entertain ideas like that. To not actually enter a war footing economically. Some countries have done more than others, Poland and the Baltics come to mind. They have known the horrors of Russia for a long, long time. And they have given quite a bit to keep those horrors as far away as possible.

There is, of course, the very real threat of nukes. Where if one doesn’t boil the frog, the frog will lash out. Again, I think the pace is much too slow. Though, there is active talk of sending western troops to Ukraine and Trump has threatened to up the arms transfers and sanctions dramatically if Russia does not submit. It’s looking like that might be exactly what happens as I don’t see Putin backing down.

And to the point you directly bring up, there are absolutely people doing exactly that; people who want Russia to step on every caltrop possible instead of decisively forcing them to stop walking, thus inflicting less pain on Russia.

The reason is not singular, the reason is all of the above and many more.

Russia can retreat to their own borders at any moment. Until then, we will continue to support Ukraine to defeat the invader.

Europe has been moving geopolitically closer to the US over the last few years as, most notably, Europe moves quickly away from Russian energy and toward US energy. We have also seen increased purchasing of US arms by European countries. Have a look at F-35 and HIMARS sales, for example. Poland, in particular, went on a huge buying spree for US and Korean arms.

Furthermore, European countries are building manufacturing plants in the US, rather than making the stuff in Europe and shipping it over. This is most apparent with German cars.

To answer your question: “Who do you see Europe collaborating more with in the future”, and the answer is resoundingly the US. With upticks in collaboration with SE Asian countries that aren’t China.

Perun does some excellent defense economics and analysis. Probably one of the channels I have learned the most from.

Jake Broe does regular updates on the Russo Ukraine war which I always find helpful.

And finally, Zeihan on Geopolitics, does, well, what the name says. I find he brings ideas I hadn’t thought of, or that are not well explained, into clarity.
