> Maybe what you want is for the screen to support turning up brightness for just one part?

That’s what their comment is asking for, which is why they mention HDR displays which are already common on Apple products.

> But rather than admit that this is a thing which exists, others just want to press tired arguments about race and racism.

It seems like your preceding paragraph argues that this racism exists, without using that specific word.

> How arrogant are we really to think that we can dictate who and what others allow in their homes?

How often do you see that, as opposed to people simply stating how they feel about who/what others allow in their homes? I’ve rarely seen the former and almost always see the latter.

To the extent this is the justification, why is Canada included?

> The UK is not a federal system like the USA, and so there is very little that counts as UK law as such.

This seems quite far-fetched. Parliamentary sovereignty alone would be unthinkable in the US model, where US federal legislatures have fairly delimited powers that they cannot arbitrarily change. The Scottish government, for example, essentially exists at the whim of Westminster and (in this iteration) was only created a few decades ago.

Similar story here in Switzerland, with a 0 minute ride (they decided I didn’t need to be transported) that resulted in a bill of about 600-800 CHF.

> I think they should stick with toponyms, instead of trying to be some sort of political arbiter.

This can mostly work for sub-national names, but doesn’t really address cases such as Taiwan, Cyprus, etc.

This isn’t the case for these watches in the UK as well, as they only work on certain partner networks, but I’m unsure whether this is due to the GP claim or something else.

US “bank cards” as in US payment processors such as Visa, not “US bank” cards.

I’m not sure what the featured article has to do with Europeans? In any case, not only are the vast majority of people not in Europe but surely Europeans (in any sense of the word) are not the primary groups targeted by a “hitler salute” in the US.

While neat that a government operates this, I’m not sure it’s a viable alternative for most users given that the servers are AFAIK all in Norway. For example, the latency from my network was 150-200ms (compared to 6ms for the Speedtest.net server) and the speed test results appear less consistent than they may be in/near Norway.

Given that their reply is on decreasing development fees, it seems that they understood the sarcasm.

I don’t live there, but for what it’s worth, this seems to be followed fairly consistently in the San Diego area whenever I’ve visited.

To add to this, I notice this more frequently in the UK and EU countries than in some other parts of the world (although it varies within each country quite a bit).
