Throw in a bunch of AI random videos and test the waters.

Zero efforts.

A few earthquakes back in the early 2000s (UK)

A flooding in the UK around 2007

Sandstorm in an area called the empty quarter back in 2012

That last screenshot is the reason why I think local backups should be an option.

My advice would be to look into emulators. Old school games do not have any micro transactions and are complete. Plus there is a vast library of consoles and games to go through.

I understand your concern, but assuming someone looks over all of that, there isn’t something genuinely exciting about it.

Not to mention the terrible traffic it is in now due to the Russia- Ukraine war, other unstable countries within the region, the terrible public transport system Dubai has anyway.

Honestly speaking, Dubai.

Not because of slavery, poop trucks, questionable government policies, etc.

The real reason to me is that it does not offer anything traditional or historical. Yes it has some five start restaurants. Yes it has some big malls. Yes you can do stuff like desert driving or hot air balloons. These are all stuff that could be done anywhere else for cheaper.

People who do not backup their laptops or phones, then come complaint to me when they are unable to to access and get a photo when the device dies.

I went through this with my wife a few years back. We had to live in a single room for years to make ends meet.

10 years later, we are a family of four now in a three bedroom house that we will hopefully complete it’s payments in 5 years or so.

Difficulties can still happen but we will sail through it again if it needed.

Been archiving a lot of my favourite shows. I expect a lot of them to either disappear in ten years, or sit behind some subscription.

I have an old pc running windows 10, it would be cool if it stops getting updates. Makes for a nice offline pc to get some old apps and games running in the future.

They could have called it anything. Will eventually be shut down.

West Wood studios and Bullfrog.

Games released on the last days of the PlayStation. Games such as RoboCod, Barbie, etc.

Wasn’t he the same developer that decided to abandon AetherSX2 and released an update that nerfed the app?

They will take it seriously if their personal information becomes visible.

Depends on your phone, some Samsung phones come with modes that can do that out of the box.

Most of these browsers use the enterprise policy of chromium.

If you can get your hand on a ThinkPad that would be great. They are usually rugged and built to last. You can install windows or Linux on it.

For a year, but it will be extremely difficult for them to maintain mv2 after jun 2025.

I can but the issue is that I won’t be using it. My current phone will be better than a used phone bought.
