The stock also went up after being handed a 230 million verdict against and Europe numbers coming out showing a sharp decline of sales in a growing market

I am in it for not too long, I wanted a Framework notebook but they didn’t sell in my country so I couldn’t purchase it through my business so I went with macbook and iphone next to because, why not.

I generally don’t care much about things like in the op news tbh, as if I have a subscription for something I use it directly from the website

And stuff like the seemless integration when switching from my phone to my MacBook with my airpods is fucking great.

but I am not a normal techie, I am waaay overindexed on user experience over a lot of things, for example I pay for spotify because the Ux is great for me, I refuse to pay for streaming devices because my own plex/jellyfin server is a much better UX.

I am also refusing to buy cars without physical buttons.

This shit has to be fake, right?

Makes it easier to throw into the bin after 2 years when shit stops working, unlike on a macbook

LG, Samsung are still fine, you just don’t connect them to the internet and use an android tv instead

That’s mostly because the west has become a bad place to build things, bike-shedding and a general loss of nuclear building expertise lost due to successful campaigning against nuclear by the fossil fuel industry.

We could be scaling up nuclear right now to help the goals for 2050 to be reached and then coast for a while as renewables pickup pace and fusion is finally cracked.

But no only thing people care about is immediate cost.

Yes renewables are cheaper per kw at the moment but they are also putting a lot of strain on the grid that’s not accounted for that’s expensive to upgrade, they are also not scaling up fast enough, which means there will be added cost to climate change.

Vs we could build nuclear reactors at a loss and bring on serious gigawatts of clean energy in a decade that would provide a stable baseline.

if you plan on batteries that requires lots of precious metals we will need elsewhere to aid in the transition to electric power.

Umm, what about sodium-ion that are now getting put into production?

Now it will be for the US fascists instead of chinese fascists, Nazis were german.

Kind of sad that you have to root for a fascist dictator prick to keep the fascist wannabe dictator prick in check.

People can’t even handle a zip merge, da fuck we need flying cars for, lmao, another technobro invention that only thinks about the individual and not the wider effect on society

Sure you can be cynical about it, but you could also read beyond the headline

Beyond the monetary fine, the European Commission is ordering Google to restructure parts of its adtech business. Specifically, Google must:

• End self-preferencing practices — meaning it cannot give undue advantage to its own services.

• Address conflicts of interest within its advertising supply chain.

• Ensure fair competition by opening its ecosystem more effectively to rivals.

I am not sure you can say BYD supports a dictator per se, more like it exists in a state capitalist country where you exist at the behest of the dictator.

Elon actively pushed and spent money to get trump elected.

SSN is a good example of the illusion of freedom for Americans, why have a standardized Photo ID when you can have a set of numbers that when leaks can ruin your life.

I mean, they can set sight on Europe, but I am not sure it’s even legal here, so quite an Uphill battle.

There are literally fascists in Europe right now lol, it didn’t just go away, Macron almost to the fascist party and the AFD is the new fascist german party with huge support. Orbán fulfills at least half the the fascist checkbox if not more.

I am not sure if you have opened my links, but you probably should,

blaming immigrants, camps, detention without due peocess

You would see that these are explicitly mentioned as telltale sign of Fascism.

If you want here is an excellent video explaining fascism, specifically white fascism https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng

Yes, there is nationalism without any socialism, but saying they shouldn’t be called Nazis is diminishing the evil that is currently being done.

I have really not sure what you are getting at, they are nazis because National is pronounced as Nazional in german and that got shortened to nazi, they aren’t called nazis because it starts with Na and there is a zi in Sozialistiche.

Here it is how it’s pronounced if you are interested https://youtu.be/VxxFl5Xc8nc

And the socialism has literally nothing to do with it, NSDAP was socialist the same way north korea is democratic, you know it’s called Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

saying they shouldn’t be called Nazis is diminishing the evil that is currently being done.

Again, this implies that Nazi is like a stronger word for fascists, it’s not, it’s not like some is a fascist and then they do more bad and become a nazi. The political ideology is called fascism because it originates from Italy, from Mussolinis party.

All nazis are fascists. neo-nazis drew on the nazi movement and borrowed their imagery etc, but they never committed anything close to what the actual nazis did.

MAGAs are fascists who pretty much check all the checkboxes on the fascist list that as I said I have linked above.

No, as I explained it was a nickname like Krauts were the German soldiers.

But I guess colloquially it became interchangeable with the use of fascism.

Much like kleenex became a word to mean box of tissues even though it’s just a brand of it.

So fascism = box of tissues, nazi = kleenex.

Either way, like I said, it’s just being pedantic, fascist cunts are fascists cunts doesn’t matter if they are Nazis, Magas or Soviets.

This is why I don’t like trump being called a nazi, a nazi was a nickname for the german fascist based on the name of the political party NSDAP, specifically the N part, National with the ti part being pronounced the same as the zi part in nazi.

Trump is an american fascist. When you call him a nazi it paints the picture of the ultra villified almost over the top hollywood nazi and it muddies the water and lets other fascist media pundits dismiss it over exaggeration.

Now after being pedantic I prefer these lists tlto check if you live in a fascist state

Spoiler alert: the US is under control of a fascist government.

AFAIK the US government also made money off of the 2008 bailouts, at least I am sure they had to pay it back, but for some reason I think it lives in people’s minds as it was like a one time gift of money to those banks and they didn’t have to pay it back or anything.

Under the trump administration? I’d be rather surprised.

But Tesla already lost a case and false advertising was a huge part of that, that means AFAIK every subsequent case will be harder to defend for Tesla https://youtu.be/2znwoOp2rw4

They can’t bitcoin mine either, so technical feasibility wasn’t the goal of my reply
