    It depends on where you want to live, Italy is VERY diverse for a country its size (it used to be multiple countries not that long ago, after all). I’m from the north.
    The average salary is about 24-34k€ depending on latitude, but roughly one third of that goes into paycheck taxes before you even see it. A skilled professional can make up to double that, but that’s not easy, and only in the north, where life is more expensive. All of this is excluding places like Milan, where everything is WAY more expensive.

    Internet connections are a shot in the dark in rural areas sometimes you can get 250mbit, sometimes 0, I know of people who work from home with 30Mbit connections and it’s painful.
    Rent depends strongly on the location and the city, a 80m2 apartment in a secondary city is probably 800-1200€/month right now, that is why most people live with their parents until they get a stable relationship, as you need two incomes to afford a place to live usually. I spend about 100-200€/week for groceries for two adults, but we both make good money and I tend to buy expensive stuff.

    Air conditioning is painful. My home isn’t super modern, so insulation is what it is, I probably spend 800€/year in the summer for A/C, and the machine itself is 2 years old, so it’s an efficient one. The one I replaced was even more expensive to run.




















  • First 20 mins according to ChatGPT:

    In the YouTube video titled “The Worst Product I’ve Ever Reviewed… For Now,” the reviewer discusses his experience with the Humane AI Pin, a new wearable computer with an AI inside designed to help users throughout their day. Despite its impressive hardware and innovative features, such as a camera, microphone, touchpad, projector with gesture control, and strong build quality, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the user experience and lack of integration with smartphones. He finds the device too expensive, with a cost of $700 plus a $24 monthly subscription, and notes that it often provides incorrect information, has poor voice recognition, and lacks essential features and apps. The reviewer also mentions that the device frequently overheats and is too heavy to be comfortably worn for extended periods. Overall, while the Humane AI Pin shows promise, its current limitations and high cost make it a significant disadvantage compared to modern smartphones.
