What were they thinking, it was almost identical to the burger king brand identity

BREAKING NEWS: EU Commission announces preliminary tariffs up to 38% on Chinese EVs (www.euractiv.com)

The EU will impose additional tariffs of 17.4% to 38.1% on electric cars produced in China, the European Commission announced on Wednesday (12 June), as preliminary results from its anti-subsidy investigation confirmed prices are being distorted by Chinese state support....

Moonrise2473,

so:

  • car dealers don’t want to sell EVs, you need to push them otherwise they’ll try to sell an ICE model
  • car makers have collectively decided that EV = luxury vehicle that must be sold at least for 45k
  • car makers don’t really want to make EVs - when the government they introduce a tax subsidy, they increase the price by that exact amount (VW Up for example, they decided that it could be never to sold 5k over the ICE model - when the government increased the subsidy, VW increased the price, and when the subsidy rose to 13k they discontinued the model as it would cannibalize sales of other models)
  • charge point operators just want to get the european funds to install chargers, but then they’re going to neglect any kind of maintenance, to the point that for enelx fast chargers it’s the norm to find them broken or out of service and the exception when they work as intended.
  • charge point operators also don’t really want to sell electricity, so they set a 2000% markup. Paying electricity for 1 euro per kwh it’s like paying gas at 3 euro per liter
  • charge point operators have collectively decided that in order to pay for the charge, customers must use the most user-unfriendly process as possible. Can’t just accept credit card at the POS with lower fees, no, must register on the proprietary app, search for the charger on the map that almost always requires google play services, find it, guess which of the 8 pins on the map is the right one, hope that unlocks, and so on.

it’s almost a miracle that you can see people driving an EV in italy

Moonrise2473,

Complete alternative to windows firewall or a nice GUI for that?

Nicer GUI there’s github.com/wokhan/WFN

Full firewall I think you would need to run openwrt or opnsense in a VM in hyperv set to run automatically in background at boot

Moonrise2473,

I can guarantee we will be hearing more about it.

Huh? Ratios of 300 innocents per 1 terrorists killed are now the norm and we are definitely not hearing more about. It gets buried by the next “accident” where by “accident” destroy a hospital/school/refugee camp full of people

Moonrise2473,

Maybe they don’t want to sell too many copies

Moonrise2473,

The whole content of that page has been ai generated regurgitated?

Just so I don’t waste my time reading it

Moonrise2473,

AI taking more jobs.

Now you just need a execute single PowerShell line to upload the whole history to the attacker, no need to hire skilled hackers to code custom malware or infostealers.

What those malware devs are going to do now that ai replaced them?

Moonrise2473,

presumably the reason that people paid $230 for a $30 toothbrush was the $200 smart speaker that doubled as charging base. Once that feature is remotely disabled, we can say that the device as a whole (smart speaker that can charge a generic toothbrush, bundled with a generic toothbrush) is essentially bricked

Moonrise2473,

I Hope not, for the environment. Just three weeks before the invasion Europe declared that gas can be considered green energy because the Russian one was cheap and abundant. Putin the environmental conscious dictator immediately stepped in and reminded the EU that Russian gas is not cheap nor abundant.

Thanks to his big push now the EU is increased the share of renewable energy. Once built, we don’t need gas anymore. And hopefully developing countries will leapfrog

I don’t understand his goal, honestly. If he “wins” he gets a barren land acquired for huge human and monetary cost. Has to pay to rebuild everything and still sanctioned forever by the west, with limited trades. If he “loses” (example chokes, dies tonight and replaced by a decent human being) then they have to pay a lot in reparation costs and Russia would need decades to regain the trust status they had pre-war. It’s a lose-lose situation

Moonrise2473,

yes but with the immense amount on money that they literally blew in ukraine + all the money they’re losing with sanctions they could have done some geoengineering megaproject to transform a similarly sized amount of land already in their possession into grain farms

Moonrise2473,

They already have to sell it at half price due to sanctions 😂

Moonrise2473,

Agree with this

I am not a native speaker and I never associated gimp with a sex meaning, even if my vocabulary is pretty expanded.

It could be called “DesirePix 2.0” or “SeductionStudio 4.0” but the main problem is that it gives a worse user experience than using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 on windows 95, on every single aspect. Features, speed, UI, ease of use, and so on

Moonrise2473,

Disclaimer: it’s not that I’m denigrating the devs, making a program like gimp is super fucking hard and as a lousy programmer I could never be able to make it better. Ideally, it would need some talented designers to develop a more usable UI.

I see comparisons to photopea, but that’s a UI clone of Photoshop and that is not really wanted. It also didn’t come with technical debt from the 90s

Moonrise2473,

With the rampant corruption?

Theoretically with all the amassed oil wealth they could already be unstoppable. Instead it was spent on lavish villas, yachts, an so on.

What’s the point of having hundreds of billions in the bank when the population is still living with Soviet infrastructure?

Moonrise2473,

They don’t do a “wanted list” for murderers, I don’t think they’re going to do that for some drunken tourist that was dressed like a penis

Moonrise2473,

There are many cases where murderers were allowed to leave the country under the "pinky promise I will come back "

For example Rassoul Bissoultanov

The Spanish system is overburdened and someone is finally judged guilty after years and years. Meanwhile, if leave the country, good luck finding them again.

They can’t manage for murders and robberies, adding block lists for petty crimes would only exacerbate the situation

Moonrise2473,

So what’s the point of this Israeli NGO? That because another Arab country that has economic interests removed mentions of Palestine, then the Israeli government is allowed to remove from existence the Palestinians?

Fucking finally, ten years ago I had last minute changes and without internet access I took a whole fucking day walking miles and miles to find an hotel that accepted foreigners and only because it was very late and I offered to help them to fill the form on the computer

In rural China if you’re not a Han with local id card you can’t do anything. No access to internet points, can’t buy a phone card, can’t use ATM, can’t easily buy train tickets (only a specific booth can, not all of them) and so on

Moonrise2473,

“tragic mishap” is when it accidentally happens once a decade, not when it “accidentally” happens every day

Moonrise2473,

“Teens are dying on bikes” - it’s because of a bike of it’s because of a fucking truck that weighs like 300 bikes?

HouseFresh disappeared from Google Search results. Now what? - An elaborate historical analysis and overview of Google search results and media landscape (housefresh.com)

From Forbes and Money content farms, to Google search algorithm changes promoting generic and generated content and big media platforms over specific results, to Google prioritizing ads, overpriced, and other worse results.

Moonrise2473,

So maybe it could be that they set cloudflare so aggressive that’s blocking all the bots including the googlebot

Moonrise2473,

Last time someone tried to deliver some aid, the IDF bombed them because they thought they were Hamas.

…wikipedia.org/…/World_Central_Kitchen_aid_convoy…

The IDF fired three missiles in five minutes at three of the WCK’s cars, with some survivors of the first strike boarding the second car, which was minutes later hit by a second missile, and some survivors of the second strike boarding the third car, which was in turn struck by a third missile.[3] All seven aid workers were killed

But the IDF said sorry we were thinking it was Hamas so again the west is ok with that

Did tiktok change something?

I have friends that send me tiktok links via whatsapp and then they ask questions about it like “what do you think, scam or not”. I used to open them with cookies rejected in ddg browser but now it pretends to freeze after 4 seconds of play, then it says that i must open it in the app and replaces the “play” button with...

Moonrise2473,

Lol good idea

Moonrise2473,

LOL “cringe” as subdomain in my instances 😂

Moonrise2473,

i tried and it didn’t work - but maybe it’s because it was the “vm.tiktok…” shortened link that tracks the user that shared it (when i open that link i can see a banner with a photo of my friend and “join tiktok with [friend name]”

next time i should try to open the link, get the real url, then use that

Moonrise2473,

Biden stressed his belief that Israel was the victim dating back to the Oct. 7 attack

Yes, we are not disputing that. Israel definitely was the victim at the time. But that doesn’t mean they’re allowed to kill so many innocent people that we now have lost the count

Moonrise2473,

USA: we have proof of genocide in Xinjiang, even if the local government does its best to hide it

Also USA: genocide in Gaza? What? Bibi is such a nice guy! There’s not enough proof, video evidence and direct witnesses don’t count

Moonrise2473,

Should ask to the dictator that’s attacking…

Moonrise2473,

As usual doing malicious compliance, like when they pretended that iOS and iPadOS were two completely separate operating systems and so iPadOS shouldn’t need to support third party app stores as EU said “iOS”

Moonrise2473,

Probably because there aren’t any, they can’t specifically say “iOS”.

I’m not aware of any other operating system (except the ones in game consoles or dedicated hw) that doesn’t allow the user to install other software not approved by the manufacturer

Moonrise2473,

Yes sure and all the increased train traffic that the satellites are recording are just empty trains

A country that devotes most of its budget to the military is certainly unable to make ammunitions.

Go to watch the recording of their military parades to see how many weapons they’re showing.

They’re not just parading with a sad little tank from the 40s like that “greatest military power in the world”

Moonrise2473,

Tbh china did a pretty good job in incentivizing moving out the supply chain during covid, with a complete travel ban to everyone for so many years. Western companies were practically banned for almost 3 years to visit Chinese factories for production, and doing this remotely is expensive and leads to bad QC. Many set factories in neighboring countries. For example I was surprised to get an ASRock motherboard made in Vietnam in 2022. Some iPhones are also made in India (and to catch a bird with two stones, get tax breaks from the Indian government)

Once a factory and its supply chain has left the country is very difficult that it will come back

Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

I’ve never completely understood this, but I think the answer would probably be “no,” although I’m not sure. Usually when I leave the house I turn off wifi and just use mobile data (this is a habit from my pre-VPN days), although I guess I should probably just keep it on since using strange Wi-Fi with a VPN is ok (unless...

Moonrise2473,

Only if you live in a country like russia, china, iran, north korea or south arabia

Moonrise2473,

Unfortunately there’s still not enough proof of genocide, according to the military complex

Moonrise2473,

Isn’t the opposite? Only agrovoltaic (panels at least 2 meters over crops) is allowed

Moonrise2473,

He really wants that 56 billion bonus huh?

Moonrise2473,

not only the board won’t fire him, but probably would even vote towards approving that bonus he’s craving

Moonrise2473,

Any H1B visa hostage can pick up someone else’s work on xitter for slave hours, but for cars you need experience, talent and know how. If you fire a whole team to save $x, then you gotta pay $5x to rebuild that team when you eventually need it. (Tesla probably needs a team to develop new models, eventually. Same for the policy team, useful to launch the auto taxi when it exits from beta in 2045

Moonrise2473,

With this move Tesla effectively gave up on the $7.5 billion package from the us government to build new infrastructure. Since it was paid with private money, it doesn’t require to be nationalized. It’s also accessible to anyone, with prices that are reasonable

Also, I don’t know how efficient is the government in the usa, but in my country the chargers built by the semi-nationalized electric company are almost always broken because they don’t really care about profits, they have the unlimited government budget, so what’s the issue if a charger breaks and gets fixed after 2 years, making zero revenue during that time?

Moonrise2473,

Looks like the team knew what was going on, three weeks ago the main European competitor hired this Tesla supercharger manager as CEO newmobility.news/…/ionity-snaps-up-tesla-supercha…

Moonrise2473,

0.69? Here they take 0.89 which is a nice 1000% markup over the electricity price. And the shame is that everyone copied the insane pricing, still blaming “sorry the war in Ukraine forces us to double the prices” even if they now came back to what they were in the beginning of 2021

Moonrise2473,

In this case it was found in the 60s in Italian waters by a fisherman and illegally sold on the black market while a law enacted in the 40s stated that all cultural treasures found under ground or under water belong to the government, with up a 25% reward to the finder

Not the usual “we stole it 200 years ago during imperialism so it’s legitimately ours now”

Moonrise2473,

It was lost in a shipwreck 3000 years ago when Greece was ruling the Italian south, not stolen like the Acropolis in the British museum

That kart game was genius programming, give you a few initial levels where it let you think that you’re driving the kart, that you’re winning because of your skills, then start the real routine of “autopilot simulator programmed to lose until you activate the paid power ups”

Edit: and I can’t believe that more than ten years passed from the release of that “game”, I remember I was playing it on my BlackBerry Z10, i can see why many itt are saying “always has been shitty” - just a year before they weren’t shitty. Gameloft released games like “9mm” and “batman the dark knight” that for just one dollar were console like experiences. And beach buggy racing, and riptide.
