So it's possible and you reply to a person telling you about a legitimate usecase but you continue to go on about how it is totally useless?

Amazon's product offering is also seemingly getting worse, lots of five-star rated products which feature obviously paid reviews and are cheap copies. Other retailers feature good-quality brand names. For technical hardware I can recom

What is a PED? You mean performance-enhancing drugs? I wanted to read the article you linked to, but seems like they have a region lock for EU countries. Its been what, nearly three years since GDPR took effect? > Unfortunately, our webs

Why are you using fullstory.com on your website? This does not inspire confidence in a product that is also available for selfhosting. (Also: There seems to be some sort of scroll hijacking which makes the performance of the website rather

You could also try a shared flat (WG). I'm paying 320€ per month (Warmmiete) in Wedding. It might not be the coolest place in town, but it has certainly more bars and nightlife than Mitte. Also its about 10-15min into Mitte by bike or
