The have warehouses across the world they can ship from, including in the EU. At least according to Google Search AI that linked me to a blog post that seems to require you be already logged into AliExpress (as per Google Search AI). And I don't have an account. So some quantity of salt needed here. Their own FAQ about import duties does mention "shipped from within the EU", which I doubt they would mention if they didn't ship from within the EU.

F***ing Slashdot. EUR 550m

â550m. (The EU doesn't levy fines in dollars)

"Legally, according to the 1st, I'm allowed to lie. There's nothing in the 1st that says I must tell the truth! And you, my friend, can't stop me!" (or something).

This is barely brighter than the light from a full moon

And the full moon is quite bright. I think this is what he's referring too. People in a city don't realise just how bright.

I'm certainly not advising for this mirror thing, though. And most certainly not thousands of them...

You got Google you can look up what I wrote and confirm

Reeks of the "do your own research" crowd...

Just answer the question, FFS, and provide your references.

Water isn't wet. Water makes things wet.

It was always "the land of the free", but only for some.

Obviously Republican, so yeah, it's a core tenant -- companies and profits and billionaires before, well, everyone and everything else. What surprises me is that what the EU are doing is a good thing for consumers and developers. This benefits OP (if they were in the EU, but I digress), and yet OP is against it. It's a mindset I really struggle to understand.

Just like every other CEO that thinks AI is a magic bullet.

makes things wet!
