A company releases an overpriced, low specced computer, slaps âAIâ on it and gets free advertisement on slashdot? How did this ever get approved?

I would say that it is partially the case. A small business in the EU is choked by regulation. Why does a Mom and Pop shop need a dedicated data protection officer to be GDPR compliant?

They don't!

You really can't do a small business in the EU because of all the red tape involved.

Really? My company has been running fine for over a decade. Maybe I missed the red tape.

The EU lasted as long as it did because they were able to ditch their army and navy and let the US protect them from what went bump in the night.

I don't think you fully understand what the EU is, and isn't.

Now that the US can't afford to be the world's policeman, the states are in a panic, because the barbarians are already at the gates, and they already have had China approach them and give them marching orders (including effective loss of sovereignty). The EU may not wind up speaking Russian, but they may have to learn Arabic, Farsi, or Mandarin, if they don't wake up and start defending themselves.

I don't think you fully understand what the EU is, and isn't.

Stupid immigrant policy has damaged the US and EU in immeasurable ways,. Thankfully the Merkel doctrine is dead, but the damage has been done, and here in the US, politicians still don't understand why having immigrants on temporary visas muscle natives out of jobs is a bad thing for the economy.

I hope you get everything you wish for, a USA without the immigrants. Indians will be happy at least, or does immigrants mean people with darker skin than yourself only? Even then, I hope you get what you are wishing for.

Of course they are, but importing cars is not an option for most, plus you are most likely still facing tariffs

Venezuela had an election, Russia did too, of course Trump will hold an election.

500M Europeans Rely On 300M Americans For Protection From 140M Russians, who have been unable to beat 50M Ukrainians in 3 years. Yeah, maybe it's time for Europe to stand on its own two feet!

Maybe they red this paper from 2019:

I think it's great that we are now able to just remove symbols from calculations. 10^78 = 1078. Noone should have been problems with maths anymore!

All of that is true yet discussions were better back then, might be because politics weren't news for nerds nor news that the mattered. Would love to go back to those days but unfortunately, I think we will have to do what Andy Dufresne did; crawl through a river of shit to come out clean on the other side.

Really nice to see that crypto currencies are fulfilling the initial goal for which they were created; to be free from government influence!

In a statement, Roskomnadzor said the block was related to a violation of rules concerning the prevention of terrorism, extremism, and drug dealing.

Makes sense, if Russians can't use it, you are preventing all those things :)

China is building coal-fired power plants to charge EVs, is it better for your vehicles to be run on fossil fuels or coal?

Most of T*rump's supporters are klan members from third-world trailerpark trash states.

This sounds like political witch hunt but not to worry, you are hereby pardoned!

Everyone should just learn to speak Swedish, it's such an easy language, there are 2-year olds in Sweden who can speak it!

You can't buy locked phones in Denmark even if you tried, and subscriptions to consumers must be possible to cancel after max six months. If you can't buy the phone outright (which I always do), operators offer it with a monthly payment plan, but the monthly cost of the phone is split from the subscription cost, so you can technically pay one operator for the phone and after six months, another operator for the subscription. It's in the interest of operators to sell handsets, without them it's hard to sell subscriptions, removing the lock makes the subscription market much more competitive, and phones cost what they cost anyway, monthly or one-time purchase, the consumer is paying for it.

Never thought to look for a switch emulator, appreciate Nintendo's efforts here, so more people become aware of its existence.
Trying to get rid of something thats already on the internet...
