@drrimmer We're back to needing to have known good #sources to even use the #Internet anymore. Sources like your local #ICRT organization have always been worth paying for to get insights into #money and #finances, #health and #nutrition, #ConsumerRights, and, of course, large purchases, but definitely now more than ever. As for #travel, if anyone knows a reliable equivalent, I'd love to learn about it.

Mieux vaut 15 ans trop tard que jamais!

I'd like to think that rental apps should make renting property dead easy; click a few buttons, rent a place.

I'd like to think that, but I'd be dead wrong.

Canada plans to implement a “right to repair” for electronic devices and home appliances by 2024.

The right to repair would empower consumers, support competition, reduce e-waste and benefit the environment.

If something contains bulbs then it should be mandatory to either a) use a common standard or b) supply replacement parts.
