It really does offer a lot for the very low price of 1000€, astonishing.

I'm worried that after years of layoffs, they have become a custom. It feels like companies were deliberating laying off people for longer before that, avoiding bad news. Nowadays, 'everyone' is doing it. And nothing prevents them from over hiring and firing in large amounts over and over again.

Couldn't agree more. I went from a Google fan boy to a Google skeptic during his reign.

Oh wow, that's brilliant. Copied that list.

I had been on reddit since 2013. Didn't look back since they took away the API.

Or simply that prices have become insane. Good phones used to be around 400, taking me a few days to think about it and say yes.

For Search I use Duckduckgo (free).

For Mail, Calendar and Contacts I use Fastmail (free or paid, I use the paid version).

For file storage there's plenty of alternatives (Dropbox etc.)

For browser I use Edge, but it is also built on Chromium. I will make my choice once the recent Web Environment Integrity topic has become more clear.

Sehr interessant. Würde ich gerne mal in echt sehen.
