  • Sorry, I’m dense. For me being in debt and paying off something like a loan on a house has the purpose of paying something you do not have the funds for to pay off in one go. Seeing as the longer you take paying it off, the more you actually pay since rates increase or whatever, depends on contract specififcs.

    How is it not a smart thing for you? Is this about US credit rating system or something else.

    Edit: thanks to all replies, not gonna spam thank yous to you all. Didn’t consider those options.






  • Must be nice living somewhere where cinema prices did not climb. I can assure you its been different where I live.

    You got to look at it relatively, a movie never cost even close to $60, so why would it end up there. It cost something like less than $10 but now the average is around $16. Games were maybe $60 and now could be $80, so it is actually a very comparable increase.

    Edit: to be fully clear, I don’t think there should be a comparable increase between those two things. Buying a video game and going to watch a movie are two very different things to do. Just pointing out that movie tickets did in fact get more expensive. There’s also the “creative accounting” often being done in the film industry, I don’t think that’s a thing in the gaming industry. So many differences.


  • While the suggested retail price seems rather high, the crowdfunding price doesn’t seem bad at all for a multifunction device that can be used as a keyboard, display, and touch input. I’m kind of hoping that the “retail” price is a fiction to encourage folks to back the Kickstarter campaign.

    Well, here’s to hoping. The real reason is probably that the product will never see the light of day and if you back this kickstarter, for a product that is already overprized for future market appearance and therefore won’t sell at all, you’ll just lose your backing money and will likely not receive this product.



  • Can I ask about the change of not keeping record of deleted files after 6 months by default. Does that mean if I sync two directories constantly so that if syncthing sees one of them has a file deleted, it will delete the file on the other too, if I copy back that same file into the synced folder, after 6 months pass Syncthing would sync that file again? Or what else does this mean?

    Currently I am just using this to have an easy transfer between two computers, I keep moving out files that have been transferred from both folders, so I would think this has no effect on how I use it?
