T82 extreme pmr goes for 84€ (2 walkies), standard goes for 72€… 36 each like you said.
Motorola is quite a recognised brand. If we are looking at “buy for life” stuff then it may be worth bumping up the budget for…
Would u say that the Motorola’s would outlast a chinese walkie like Baofeng? How long have you had the t82 for?
A baofeng 2-pack is 30€, so I’m just trying to figure out if a Motorola is the better investment…
Hahahah damn, sry for your bad purchase. I hope this post makes a future purchase a bit better. Thanks for shortening the list :p
Great video brother, thorough testing and no bs. Liked and subbed. The pxton performs very well for the price. I can’t find it on my amazon.region but I see a very similar model with a different brand slapped on… Baofeng, 2 for 30€… Very appealing.
For my use case and price point that seems fair. I will keep them in mind
Thanks for pointing me to the amateur radio community. Will have a look around there.
Robot_Toaster is also pointing towards amateur radio so that might be the best “buy for life” solution in the end…
Thanks for the comment. Was looking for real simple solution but for the price I might as well get something proper then.
As a complete radio noob, I do have some pc programming skills, how much time and effort would it take to mod it to pmr446?
U might have send me down an amateur radio hobby rabbit hole lol, cheers :)
Losing control of online perception has always been there. Microsoft paint, then photoshop and now AI. Not a whole lot u can do without a massive pr team/botfarm.
Luckily most of us aren’t famous enough that online slander affects our real lives. Unless we go full black mirror with the real life social media rating system.
As for local first solutions, that’s going to be hard. Most businesses, where I live, are managed by IT companies who use AWS, Intune and the all of the usual suspects.
As long as there is no foss competition to large scale IT management, then it will be difficult to sway corporate that wants “just works”. Here is small chance to shill Zorin Grid. Looking forward to that release.
On a smaller scale individuals will have a better chance. Even if it’s just convincing your coffeeshop boss to switch to only/libre office.
Completely running self hosted communities in cities etc… that’s would be the end game. I think education and parental upbringing will have to become a major part of that. If every school and household has a linux pc and a nas where it’s the normal way of doing things… That would shift future tech use.
8bitdo ultimate 2c. I use it on Cachy with the dongle. Never have any issues with it.
Zorin for me. Looks good, never breaks.
Yes since i’ve already purchased it once. Unless there is a good steam discount. And maybe of it’s truly a masterpiece then I would buy it again at full price.
If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
Its just a funny coincidence that you recommend zorin and your username is artyom, like the creator of zorin. No need to take everything serious :p
Zorin creator’s name is also artyom… Coincidence 🤔🤔
Desktop Enivorements > distro (when it comes to beginners)
Can’t go wrong with any user friendly distro like zorin, mint, fedora, pop_os, anduin, debian, bodhi… the list goes on and on.
Focus on desktop environment, do you like Kde Plasma, Gnome, Cinnamon or even Cosmic?
If u truly want something different from winbloat go the tiling window manager route. Arch + Hyprland. Garuda or Cachy are both nice for a more beginner friendly arch experience(not really recommended for beginners, but i read in of your other comments that u want something more different from Windows)
I’ve recently purchased the 6 eye astronaut greasy from solovair and absolutely love them. I don’t own a whole lot of boots, so my review isn’t that grounded, but so far so good. Gets used around 3 times a week, not a lot of hiking since I have a desk job. No break in needed. I don’t have the optional sole but they are still comfy. If u order the solovairs buy a half size down, a lot of the product reviews will also mention this. It’s also convenient to buy their dubbin wax, if u go for the greasy; or standard leather care for the high shines.

For anyone looking for a meditation app to get more practice in, checkout Insight Timer.
Yeah true that mint is the default. But if you look up any beginner distro recommendation then zorin is often also mentioned. Zorin 18 released last week so it’s a getting a bit more mentions then normal. But look up any beginner distro video or article and it’s always mint and zorin. Zorin has been around since 2009
Thats awesome, personally never tried it. But it keeps popping up in “hard distros” discussions.
Man all these install scripts are making every distro too accessible 🤣🤣 /s
Only way too stay cool now is to switch to hannah montana os, or freebsd lol
Another point for Motorola.
I’m having my eye on the t82. But you know how it goes with hobbies and new things. Maybe better to start out cheap and upscale if I find myself using it alot. Although Motorola might suite the “buy for life” credo better.
