Ukraine and even Europe don't need global coverage though. The Russian system that they're testing at the moment is geostationary satellites over Ukraine.

German car quality is a mark of how optimised manufacturers have got for building cars that work within 2 terms of 4 year finance plans.

You'd be foolish to think it correlates to any sense of innovation or entrepreneurialism.

Exactly what they're aiming for.

Perhaps you should look at pedestrian fatality statistics in both the US and the EU. One is rapidly rising and one is falling year on year. I wonder which is which.

Don't be daft, I don't think Europe's at risk of becoming irrelevant because they put a greater emphasis on pedestrian safety than the US.

Perhaps just look at a few ancient European towns with cobbled streets with no pavements, no wider than 2.5M and hairpin turns at many junctions. Perhaps it's just a product that doesn't suit the market.

If you play the RTS Desperados it's still looks really good even though it was made in the early 2000s and it's all down to the the scenes being essentially painted. It's a shame this isn't done more often in my opinion.

I built a pen plotter and my biggest challenge was converting and previewing the GCode for plotter images. Recently though I've build a huge toolbox of tools with Codex using spare usage and it's an absolute game changer. Good use of it for sure.

Bit flips from cosmic radiation. Pretty common.

If a small business is modifying the product and not telling the eventual customer they've done so how is that not fraud? I don't want to buy a Raspberry Pi with a memory chip from who knows who which might have not passed QA modified by people who may or may not do a decent job at soldering it to the board.

I think you greatly overestimate how many 8-10 year old EVs will actually require replacement batteries. Barring a few models with poor engineering choices, most cars will still have 80% of their capacity after 10 years and won't have the downsides of having a 10 year old ICE engine with a variable record of maintenance.

Isn't this usually because people don't like big jets flying over their houses.

Have you got any proof that anyone has been arrested specifically for a social media post?

The most common case is Lucy Connolly, who was arrested for inciting racial hatred and pleaded guilty to the crime which carries a prison sentence.

Or are you just a random non UK citizen who has been reading disinformation on social media?

Merchants aren't going cash only to sell your data, they're doing it because it's expensive to handle cash and makes their taxes a whole lot more troublesome too.
