  • My unrequested opinion on this:

    This was written by someone who knows anyone reading this doesn’t have the full picture (english speaking foreigners), so I’m just going to try to be the least biased in any favor and just put some additional information.

    The correios (the state owned postal and parcel service) is in crisis, they aren’t profitable, mainly because of the standardization of tariffs on imported items from China, some items that didn’t pay, now pay, some items that were “lotteries” were regulated, so everything above 50 dollars (if i remember correctly) now pays the standard tax, plus state to state taxes that already existed. This affected them, because there’s less imported items from aliexpress, etc, and almost all of the items were shipped through them.

    They are now trying to negotiate some loans, like the denied loan from the state bank (Caixa Econômica Federal), the government gave the option to take some other loans that they would need to reestructure to take (like giving plans for people to retire voluntarely, which is always bad, because these plans are always scams). This strike seems to only happen in São Paulo (and the person writing this seems to be paulista, for their way of writing).

    Now my opinion:

    This is bad, really seems to try to go ahead and enshittify another service, now a service that is literally the backbone of the logistics of the country. The logistics of a country shouldn’t need to be profitable, it should do the logistics, as they are a public service reaching like 99% of the country in unprofitable regions, and the workers should not be outsourced. The workers should try to fight for their rights and make their voices heard. All the power to them!












  • Last time was in GTA 5 online, when it launched on pc, got some billions, all the things available and then stopped, never got banned, but forgot my password some years later.

    The grind was too much, I never tried to instakill anyone, nor getting planes to harass other players, just wanted the grind to go away.

    Edit: holy shit that was more than 10 years ago.





  • Yeah, it was hyperbole, but when I bought one, I felt a huge difference when cooking or making tea/coffee.

    Want to cook some rice? Just put water in the electric kettle, prepare the rice and put it in the rice cooker, boom, put the already heated water in the rice cooker. It’s a lot faster than putting a kettle on a stove, here’s 220v, but it is different state to state.

    For tea? Just put some water in the electric kettle and hear the click sound.

    It changed my life, and changed a lot of peoples lives, because when I talk to my coworkers, all of them have the same opinion. It’s just a time saver, but damn, an amazing time saver.





  • Yeah, it needs an xiaomi account with unlocking privileges (I have one from 2018, so this step was already done) and a Windows partition with the xiaomi bootloader unlocker (the official one, updated to the last version), then putting a SIM card into the phone, putting the same account on the phone, going to the bootloader unlocker, checking all the boxes and then just waiting for the time it says on the unlocker to unlock the phone, with the SIM card and not changing the account on the phone.

    I just added a Windows 10 IoT LTSC partition to do that :/, then deleted it afterwards.
