My elderly neighbor needed a computer to do accounting, I set her up with Mint on a T430 w/ LibreOffice and told her I'd giver her free support till the laptop died.

5 years on and the only time I've had to fulfill my side of the bargain was when her printer was out of paper and she couldn't find her eye glasses to read the error message.

Fedora is good for servers and corporate environments, Mint is good for a familiar desktop, Ubuntu is good for mac users.

In what reality is there any need for a door-hook camera

maybe for when the police illegally raid, eat your lemon pound cake, steal your money and fuck up your visible cameras?

just because YOU can't think of any use other than creepy doesn't mean the rest of us are so afflicted.

I'm sure the full service tourist hotels and resorts accept US & Canadian dollars, Euros and Yen. When I was there we exchanged dollars for Cuban Unified Currency at 1:1 rate. I traded us currency for pesos with the images of Che but tourists all spend CuC.

Most of their farm land is devoted to cash crops, tobacco, coffee, sugar, the trifecta of colonial slavery. They still run steam trains on sugar cane farms on the west side of the island, there's ancient soviet tractors working the fields too.
