Buy music directly from artists. Plenty of them sell their tracks online.

Ah. I thought Retina was marketing speak for OLED. I stand corrected.

I transitioned from a Kindle to an iPad. It just works better and you can get refurbished older iPads with an excellent ~~OLED~~ screen and warranty for less than a new Kindle in most cases.

Unfortunately, the Nazi government is going to use this to further abuse their power.

My wife is Gen-X from eastern Europe (cold war era for those not getting the timeline). She was born left handed but that was considered to be such a bad thing that they forced her to use her right hand for everything. So now she has this mishmash where she does things she grew up with like using a fork, writing, etc. with her left hand, new things (teen+ years) like basketball with the left, and others like Tennis with both.

It isn't that left handed people didn't exist, its that they were "corrected".

Tech Executive for 20 years and in the industry for almost 30 here. If you are going into the technology field and are not loaded enough to go to Stanford or MIT, then I would second the "start at community college for the basics but graduate from a quality state university". Most people don't care where the diploma is from and NOBODY cares about your GPA. This applies to probably 98% of the jobs you will come across.

What truly matters most of the time is experience, flexibility, and breadth of knowledge. Make sure you do a ton of independent and well documented projects. A portfolio of your work is far more impressive than a diploma.

If instead of someone with a breadth of knowledge you are a specialist with a deep understanding of a single subject matter, then I suggest that you blog and/or self publish a lot of your work. Help people. Maybe build a community around your specific niche. YouTube etc videos about your niche is also a very good idea.

Finding work is much less about knowledge, because you are starting out and you don't know shit, and a hell of a lot more about marketing yourself.
