They are too big and they abuse their dominant market position

That would make them the first species not wiped out by mankind, but by someone else

Sounds some like the rental RVs.
The rental companies (for example cruiseamerica ) sell them off after a couple of years (and and few 100.000 miles).
They cost more (around 25.000$), but come complete with furniture and bathroom and are probably still a lot cheaper than an appartment in the long run

Some of these claims seem to be overblown.
If you take a look at the Manhattan Project, you get an idea what efforts in research and production (i.e. uranium enrichment) were required.
The Nazis never had a programm that came anywhere near these dimensions.
All they had was a handfull of phsysicists (most of the best had emmigrated to the US anyway) and a small research reactor.
So while there was some nuclear research, there never was a atomic bomb or anything close to it in Germany.

And the tunnels? The whole 3rd Reich and it's occupied territories were tunneled mostly for the purpose of weapons production.

At 94 km/h you are considered a traffic obstacle on an austrian Autobahn.
At 94mp/h you are considered a rowdy and a madman ;-)

Mailüfterl versus Whirlwind is a very austrian thing.

Depends on how you define computer!
Just look up Charles Babbage or Konrad Zuse.

I wish, some providers did that here in Austria, where I live.
It's the same story in many ways.

But are they bulletproof?

Who would really want THAT!?

Did someone say "Streisand Effekt" ?

to get themselves out of the console business again

The ridiculous aspect of this tax is, that when I fill my hard disc with pictures I took myself with my own camera I would still hav to pay for example ca 15 € for a 1TB hard disc which can be bought for as little as 63€ (external USB 3.0)

to the rescue!!
