aren't pretty much all Li(Fe)Po cells made cheaply in China?

Yeah, I do agree it's a fair bit of Apple-bashing. I've also learned by reading through other replies in this thread that apparently Apple's standby mode is very reliable and consumes <1W. It's apparently also very easy to wake back up.

I can say none of that about my Windows and Linux machines 😅 so that may be where my confusion came from

And then how do you turn it back on?

no matter. I know that Career foundry offers (used to offer?) a "pay after" scheme for some of their certifications. So it doesn't cost you anything up front, but you set up a contract where you'd pay them like 5-10% of your new job's wages for a set time.

Please don't! Do you qualify for state-sponsored training? I know some people who have really improved their situation by taking advantage of the courses the unemployment office offers.

Doesn't Austria have a law that allows employees to reduce hours to part-time as they see fit? We do here in Germany. Last place I worked at, my team lead didn't want me to reduce from full-time to 80%. The Betriebsrat (employee council) was ready to go to bat for me, but I didn't like the role anyway, so I interviewed for another place. They offered me 80%, a pay raise, a better role and benefits.

This might come off as bragging, I realize. Sorry, not my intention. I just wanted to share my experience, maybe it's useful to someone 😊

This is patently untrue. Nobody work all the time without going to sleep at some point.

If you're a billionaire, you can just coast along VERY comfortably on dividends and stocks.
