wut the fug

@PopeUrban#0699 what hasn't?

Just ordered Xiaomi notebook to UK. Didn't go for DHL or anything, so what are my chances of not getting done by customs?

it's all random searches or if someone at customs feels like being a jobsworth

impossible to say

What's worst case scenario? 20%?

Paid £575 for the laptop which is fucking ridiculous with dedicated graphics tbh

I've ordered 200+ things to UK and never been hit by customs, but lots of people from UK have been hit in here

so no idea what the odds are

it really all depends on if someone feels like being a hero and doing the paperwork to bust you

most of the time customs won't bother if it means more work for them

Can you install windows 8 or functional linux on the mi book?

Even if I had to use botnet, I'd prefer botnet that has a consistent UI, less bloat, and doesn't spy on me so obnoxiously

@cumqber https://twitter.com/linux_deepin/status/877061333631369216

most chinktops support linux just fine, not sure about windows 8

Tried deepin

Meh

Decent UI but hard to customize and some bloat os non-removable

Chinkiness very visiblr

I'd give it a "C-, see me after class"

I don't see stallman holding the notebook

I like deepin a lot tbh but I last tried it years ago

Maybe they added a buncha bloat since then

I do like how they rewrote their default video player to use MPV though

By far the best looking Appstore on Linux too

Appstore.deepin.org

anyone have any DW links that won't run away with my money? i'm a little skeptical of the dhgate sellers that list them

Aliexpress banned fakes last year so you won't find them on there anymore

DHgate or taobao is the only place to go

DW are uggo

Amazon Canada is fucking swamped with shitty Chinese products

the best selling winter boots have Engrish on them

"Fashion Sakteboard"

Redmi 5 on TENAA yesterday

Well the first one is a dubious leak. Seems like it has on-screen buttons 🐸🔫

been using redmi 3s for more than a year now, redmi is a great phone line

@s3bbe> not liking onscreen buttons
Phablet faggots btfo

I'd prefer maximum usable screen area
