There are now lots of Chinese cars in Russia for obvious reasons, and the problem with them is that in the harsh climate (+40 degress in July, -20 degrees in January, lots of chemicals to clean the streets) they rot in 2-3 years. This was completely not a problem with Kias/Hyundais earlier.

It's not. OLED screens use PWM, i.e. they are switching to almost black 256 times a second. That's tiresome for the eyes. Especially when you read from it with artificial lighting which is dim, that makes those black periods long and noticeable. Yes, recent iPhones sometimes don't go full black, but that's only for near-100% brightness.

That's exactly Antigravity.

Does anyone know, does it support video delay? I.e. my Sonos speakers have 150ms latency, can it output audio earlier than video?

They do ask where are you going and where you will be staying, even if you have a permanent residence permit. Depends on your passport.

If you're an avid photo taker, you need to buy a Pixel Pro.

They've adopted OLED for screens, but it's gotten even worse with iPhone 17 with horrible PWM difficult to look at. While Chinese models are introducing DC dimming and fighting the problem.

In Poland there is BLIK where you enter a 6-digit number from your banking app and then confirm the operation there. It's available everywhere (Steam/Apple/local merchants) and works reliably. I'd say it's much more cumbersome than just using Apple Pay (you have to switch to another app twice, copy-paste etc.), but it's a no-brainer to use, as one could make a point that pasting credit card details from Chrome/1Password has actually less friction. So the issue is in actually providing your credit card data, that's the real problem that the author tries to describe.

They are. Selling out was done with the expectation that "the West" will outsource the basics, but will have hands freed to "reach singularity" and will keep the braids of all the technological chains. Now the "reaching singularity" itself is being lost, so everyone suddenly understands that there is nothing left.

Pretty much the Switch experience. It sometimes downloads updates, but system updates are like 10 seconds, and games are updated in the background seamlessly. I don't play Fortnite, but it's also always updated in the library.

Yes, if you don't keep it powered, it won't do that, but why wouldn't you if it just stays in the dock dark and quiet?

But Dread was wonderful, so if this outsourcing produced even one such a game, it was worth it after all.

I would prefer the current versions without anything replaceable. I have the Switch bought on day 1 and a Pro Controller which is 9 years old. Yes, the Switch was mostly used docked, but the battery is last thing failing there, it rather has issues with the fan, the screen scratches etc. The controller works perfectly and I charge it once a month. The replaceable battery would only make it less solid.

The biggest Switch issue by far is joystick drift on joycons. I've replaced 3 on my Switch 2 already and we have the same issue on the new Switch 2 in the office.

How is this different from installing Claude Code or Codex? Maybe in the US someone has some hopes about having those makers "legally liable", but in Europe both US and China products seem equally far away and equally closed in all senses.

> 256 GiB unified RAM.

So, 8000$, plus it's unavailable. 3 years of Codex/Opus subscription.

> API prices

Which are irrelevant for 200$ Codex/Opus plans that are times cheaper.

It's the same in Poland. Toyota found a way that you can install some "immobilizer" thing that hacks the system into muting the alerts (but they still blink though) and was so proud that they started calling owners offering it for install. But all the cars do beep.
