    Been here a month Now

    I wouldn't buy a new apartment. You need to get one that has been around for 10 years and you know what kind of shape the building will turn out to be. All the new ones I lived in turned out to be pieces of crap after about 6 months.

    I remember this. They tried to ransom the data but I guess the hackers don't pay attention to the news. They should have known Arg wouldn't pay anything. Its awesome knowing everything about me is floating around in the dark web thanks to Arg lack of security competence.
