In Brazili, corrupt Lula da Silva government is helping the chinese companies, especifically BYD, to import cars without any taxes.
Taxes in Brazil for vehicles exceeds 100% - even for locally produced - and BYD was able to import with corrupt importation schemes.
I'm all against taxes, so ALL CARS should be imported or manufactured without taxes.

And then the terrorists from the brazilian narco-state use electric cars because they don't pay for electricity and they can charge close to their terrorist bunkers.

It's worth noticing that Tesla is not in Brazil because the tax structure drains the advantages.
Good luck for those in the middle of the terrorist government there.

One day I was suffering using Windows 10 or something when a video of Oprah appeared when I pressed the Windows key.
That day I installed Linux on that computer and ran Linux or damned MacOS since then. Will never use Windows again unless needed.

Starlink is the only provider for "real internet" in rural areas.
Not american, not living in the USA: THIS BACKWARD THINKING will DESTROY the USA. Destroy it.
I've been warning americans about it for a long time.

MAGA TRUMP is the only way out.

You f#cking commies.... Alexandre de Voldermort VIOLATED BRAZILIAN LAWS and X should not commit crimes in Brazil and violate american laws.
Stupid communists need the supreme government exploring them. What a shame.

failures.
Thepse are COMMUNIST arguments. Only freedom can generate more freedom.
It is amazing to see advanced and, I can say, SUPERIOR countries, that ran on SUPERIOR IDEOLOGY for so long fall to this cheap meme - this mind virus, this woke mind virus.
I'm not american and I don't live in the USA. But I recognize the world is better because the USA pushed it.
All bad things caused to americans or to foreign countries are CAUSED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Wake up. Captalism is the only way forward.

What are the chances of desperate socialist leftist governments trying to stop technological advances that are killing them?
Leftist/ socialist ideas of state controlling everything are the past.
Forget government #libertarian

He is still dreaming, that's why....
UK, Sweden? C'mon. The great Margareth Thatcher nationalized more than the stupid labor party. And put it to work, even though she was contrary to some of those.
Take a look in how Sweden and UK are "comunist countries" in the report below:

South America is among the worlds poorest places, with higher inequality, low HDI (poor health, poor education), highest corruption, among whatever is bad.
Mexico, which joined forces with the USA, is way better. Lived there for many years.
Brazil: attempting scape, but poor and violent.

Most of what is in the article has been invented without factual basis.
There is a huge politic crisis in this (irrelevant) and weird country sitting in one of the most corrupt regions in this world, South America.
Government is going down. Former corrupt president "Lula" and his congregates are going down. They are going to jail.
Brazil suffered an incommensurable heist supported by local ignorant people. Now the country is moving toward a violent crash

So the source is nothing more than a corrupt gang going down screaming... At least this damned country is doing something.

Exactly. People don't realize that. I believe that the probability that I can loose my information is much higher at my home. Considering many sides, I encrypt what is really important and store at DropBox, Google Drive. My email is all at Gmail. It's even difficult to me to find information at my millions of emails stored at Gmail. Can you imagine for someone trying to steel my information?

Anyone can change to another operator. This is competition and open market.
The problem is that there are only a few with the power to change something, and they are working in a cartelized way... as it happens these days. Operators get the information to work in a cartel way from market researches. They get all they need to operate fixing prices and offer, and protect themselves. The margins are absurd and operators are making a lot of money.

Unfortunately, dumb consumers who got satisfied with the miracle of telecom, don't understand and don't have enough power to fight. Thing about it: There is no free phone. This is a cartel like way to deceive it's customers, like many other things. I hope other technologies like White Space "Super WIFI" can give the consumers some power to battle. Also, there should be organizations working as Internet providers, idenpendently.

Think about it: Services operators, of all kinds, got the advantages of disruptive technology evolution without giving consumers. The regulated market (licensed frequencies) slows competition and we are more and more on their hands.

Why not non profits for Internet, etc? Why not cooperative Internet? Hmm.... with IPv6 and users talking with each other directly, without the need for a service like Skype? Many things should be re-thought. A few people can understand how things works. Well... would like to discuss this with people aware of this situation.

I mentioned in another comment: Nokia Communicator had it, I guess in 1999... first Nokia with Symbian. And Nokia 7650 had it too, in 2002 (I got an early prototype in my hands in 2001). All these UI components, including sliding components, were in an early Nokia tablet... don't remember the name.

Nokia 7650 with Symbian 6.1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7650) in 2002 had it... I remember it was one the first things I tried. It was amazing... But the Nokia Communicator had it even before.

Hi. Based on a friend's investigation, Ruckus Wireless has a very compelling solution for distributed, planned wireless.
I agree with some comments that nowadays, the only hotspots I get good connections are the very well planned ones. Places where a WIFI hotspot has been installed usually gets overloaded and doesn't work well.
