I wanted to install Proton on my kids phone, but apparently they think their client needs Android 10 to function for some reason, so they lost potential customer while no other major email app has such strict version requirement, in the end went with different service which works fine in Nine Mail and doesn't have storage limits like from quarter century ago. Heck, they barely offer what Gmail had 22+ years ago on their free plan.

Apparently two HSR crashes within few months with 100+ dead on his watch are not enough. Spanish gov in a nutshell...

He must really hate Sanchez, who will be done after this, with elections in less than a month away.

So 5EUR fee on your very dangerous 0.5-1EUR phone case or tempered glass to protect us from dangerous cases and screen protectors!

Lobby from EU shops selling exactly same overpriced goods must be happy.

I dunno, spent previous summer in China riding ride shares (Didi mostly I think) almost daily and it was nice change when the car for once eat not BYD, they are absolutely dominating the market in China, majority of ride share cars were BYD, can't complain about rear seats, everywhere hey generous, same thing can't be said about front seat though as tall passenger.

US, China, Israel? I am sure many companies will happily earn money supplying both sides while those idiots are figthting each other in endless war, there is only one winner in this war - military industrial complex.

and yet Russia didn't weaponize nordstream, meanwhile our "ally" Ukraine destroyed it for us and people still continue pumping there dozens of billions EUR on prolonging endless war

Russia would happily supply cheap gas, it is self imposed EU resrictions together with green deal shooting themselves in their own foot, same thing with EU airlines taking detour to avoid russian airspace while Chinese airlines happily save kerosene flying through RU airspace

that's fair argument and reason why to rely on long established concerns like BYD (BYD, Denza), Geely (Volvo, Lynk & Co, Geely, Polestar, Zeekr) and Chery (Jaecoo, Omoda, Chery), at least the brand shouldn't fold so early, though of course they can still ditch some specific brand, seems like BYD would be safest option judging by their market share in China, in Europe Jaecoo seems to be doing very well, but who knows how long they can last and from what I hear they are quite unreliable, so I would worry more about wait time for car par right now than 10 years down the line, even Korean/Japanese cars still have this issue if you crash the car and need to wait weeks for the spare part

> It’s like the wild west of Android phones 10-15 years ago

lifespan of the phone is much shorter than car (so is price), so not really a fair comparison and Xiaomi is still around and many other less known brands (actually that makes me realize I forgot Xiaomi cars, very nice design as well, nice Porsche copy), they just ditched export, but they are still present in China, even 10-15 years ago you had tier 1, tier 2 and other tiers of brands
