I left NZ a few years ago and one of my main reasons were the lower incomes and high cost of housing. It all came down to the fact that I couldn't even afford to rent a flat by my self, whereas right across the Tasman I could earn twice the salary and have a comparable if not lower cost of living.
Eventually I've ended up in Europe and I'm earning almost 4 times of what I was earning back home. I've considered coming back, bit the prospect of maybe never being able to own a home keeps me away.

No, never had an issue with Signal backups.
I bought a laptop that came with a broken charger, I could easily test it myself as a friend also had an HP laptop with the same brick (this was before the days of USB C).
I tried to make a warranty claim and they wanted me to send the laptop too and wipe the HDD, the RMA process would take weeks on top of that.
I ended up buying a 3rd party charger, I'm sure their RMA process is overly long and convoluted to deter people from making warranty claims

After the revival they just re-released the Batman games, announced a sequel to The Wolf Among Us and then nothing for 4 years? It is sad to see Telltale gone, but at the same time I am not surprised.
I had to replace the USB C port on my Fairphone 3, took about €30 and 10 minutes.
In any other phone it would've meant getting a complete new device
yes, and according to the article, OpenOffice was already abandoned for 4 years ago by then
