Prices are far lower than that unless you insist on a car that is way too large for European streets, which is, unfortunately, fashionable nowadays.

Fuck gema, copyright infridgement or not.
Apple created the different OSes for different use cases that, Apple thought, required different user interfaces.
There is no reason why applications which choose to implement both types of interfaces can't do so. There's also no reason why users should be limited to one type of interface or the other. Both things coexist completely peacefully on Android. You can connect a mouse to your tablet (or even phone) and treat it like a desktop system with shitty storage (practically all phones, it takes a lot of power to have fast storage.)
People forget that tablet computers existed a decade before the iPad, it's good for certain things but creation is NOT one of them.
The primary use case for tablet computers in olden times was data entry and acquisition, for example the military used their magnesium-case gridpads to do inventory.
The biggest problem with Apple for users probably isn't any of their anticompetitive shit, but rather their bifurcated OS. Software which could be sold on both platforms is commonly only on one or the other. Tablets have enough screen and enough power to do real PC jobs but are prohibited from doing them because Apple wants to sell you both an iPad and a Macintosh. Android-based tablets can run emulators to get around these problems, or run full apps which can run on ARM Linux in Termux or another solution. TBF Google seems to have Apple envy and is aiming to lock down their systems more and not less so maybe they will throw away this advantage.
I doubuit, given how much he is preoccupied with Biden and Obama in his head. Might be the reason why he is so incoherent.
What is so difficult to comprehend about "But you also shouldn't waste your time either believing that they will deter everyone, nor that stronger punishments will deter statistically more people. There are always those who think they won't get caught, and those who don't care."?
Huawei is one of the few vendors that supplies source code for security review (under NDA).
Do they also provide build tools and allow customers to build and install their own images?
You have to have punishments to stop the people who are stopped by the threat of them. Those people do exist. We don't think about them much because the existing deterrents work just fine on them.

Somehow authoritarians always forget the carrot. The stick isn't invalid, it just isn't a complete solution, and you shouldn't be rushing to apply it in all situations.
I would rather live off the land in the wilderness and avoid civilization altogether
What's stopping you? There's definitely people doing this right now. Around a quarter of the continental US is BLM land. Last I looked pig tags were free.
Everyone dies one day. And the main thing about a personalist dictatorship is that when the dictator croaks the whole system usually follows unless the dictator manages to install their child as the successor.
Besides, these three stooges don't want to be a part of any multinational union since that would seriously limit their power.
Whale oil works for Dunwall, but probably not so much for Singapore.
Given the usual inertia behind the EU decisions, the policies will be implemented anyway.
What you call destruction of service jobs, I would call the introduction to the age of plenty, and the end of the age of scarcity. There shouldn't be an "upheaval", but I know there will be. The haves are too good at dividing the have nots for them to stop.
You debunked your own comment, there's nothing for me to do here
China disagrees.

Or is there something I'm missing?
What you're missing, as usual, is that IT DOESN'T EXIST YET but you're claiming that it does, as usual.
The source code is written in assembly
FTFS, "it's the first version of UNIX in which the kernel and some of the core utilities were rewritten in the new C programming language"
Put this source code in front of 99.9% of the people here on Slashdot and they'd be able to do nothing with it.
Yes, this place really has gone to shit.
