That because related numbers in US while significantly worse than in most of EU, are also quite irrelevant, especially because if the trash annoys you, it's probably not in the waterways but on the streets. Which in turn means it's going to get cleaned off the streets and burned. So it's not going into the oceans.
I will continue to insist that me fucking you in the ass over your science denial in the original talk was a strictly one night stand, and no matter how desperate your stalking becomes, I will not be calling you back.
Ah yes, the virtue signalling path. "If we are good, virtuous, self-flagellating idiots acting against their interests to purportedly benefit others, others will respect us and act like us".
In reality, Chinese now have a derogatory word for people who act and think like this, which literally translates to "white leftie". Chinese do not care at all about pollution that isn't immediately impactful. That's why it's been such a challenge to get them to commit to anything at all on CO2. That's not the pollution Chinese care about at all, just like plastic pollution isn't something Chinese care about at all.
All they care about is the immediate problems, like particulates in the air in major cities, which cause easily observable and directly linked health problems in a way that even an average Chinese, who thinks Western medicine is for weird freaks and rich socialites, can understand. The rest is handled like pretty much everything in China. Demonstrative facade to keep face, absolute irrelevance underneath.
Here's a good video by a couple of Western expats living in major cities in China on the topic if you are still unconvinced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
These measures do a grand total of about zero to plastic waste in oceans. About 90% of it comes from major Asian and African rivers. Most of the rest is from the various coastal nations on the same continents. Which in turn overwhelmingly come in large part from single use packaging of single portion perishables which don't even exist in wealthier countries. Packaging which notably in turn is responsible for massive reduction of human death and suffering from various poisonings due to perishables actually perishing due to bad packaging, or portions being bigger than single portion which means perishing due to lack of refrigeration.
Essentially all plastic in EU is already either recycled or burned. What little ends up in waterways is usually the stuff that people from non-European cultures such as tourists just discard as they are used to. And numbers we're talking about are utterly irrelevant. This is not US with its "dirty plastics" issues, most EU states already recycle "clean" plastic and burn the "dirty" one. Those that don't will have to implement it shortly, as China no longer accepts dirty plastics as "recyclable".
This is nothing but virtue signalling by politicians aimed at wealthy urbanites that will have no meaningful impact on plastic garbage problem in oceans, but will severely inconvenience a lot of poor people in EU, who actually rely on cheap packaging and cutlery to stay cheap, as they cannot afford more expensive packaging without taking a meaningful hit to their already low quality of life.
We are? Last I checked, dissatisfaction with EU establishment is at all time high around the Union. To the point where normally "keep calm and pretend public is irrelevant" EU bureaucrats are openly voicing concerns that next MEP elections will upend the ability of EU to pass any meaningful directives through the Parliament.
If you're in US, yes. Quit your job and get another. It's never been a better job seeker's market in lifetimes of those alive and of working age today.
Joke is on you. Tampering with device will result in far harsher punishment than anything speeding related did before. And they'll have things like GPS tracking for measuring your average speed.
Always on and server side of course. Big brother watches.
I assume you're also waiting for Nvidia to release the super computer to go with this 32k helmet so it can have sufficient FPS to not make you evacuate contents of your stomach on your keyboard within second of putting the helmet on?
Actually the circuitry is the primary failure mode in overwhelming majority of LEDs. Which is why most modern LEDs will have "x hours OR x times switched on" in their specs.
Typical LED failure mode is slow dimming as they age. Typical circuitry failure mode is catastrophic failure of it not turning on any more. This is why LED failure is rare, as gradual dimming is not catastrophic.
It's pretty horrifying how many people are so deep into TDS, that they are willing to say "we should go back several centuries on progress on judicial system and adopt presumption of guilt", just to avoid having to face being wrong for two years.
This "activation package" exists for essentially every smartphone running the two primary phone OSs in existence. It's also present in a slightly different form on win10. It's typically called "telemetry".
The coding mistake was likely in that HMD makes a lot of phones for Chinese market, which means that data is sent to local Chinese companies doing the data processing rather than US ones. So it's likely that someone was copy-pasting code for one of the updates, and accidentally pasted too many lines of code.
If you think this practice unethical, you're barking up a completely wrong tree. Correct trees to bark at would be Google, Apple and Microsoft, followed by their Chinese counterparts like Tencent.
My personal favourite of his alt-right credentials was when he wore the British home guard uniform, which is the uniform worn by British officers who's job was to warn and rescue people after Nazi bombing raids, after which your compatriots at mainstream media called him a nazi.
It was almost as excellent as your desperate lying across this thread.
Nations do not have friends. Global hegemons do indeed have vassals, as do local hegemons.
And Europe without outside security umbrella is Europe where history goes back to what it was before it. Warring empires fighting for survival against neighbours. It's quite possible that China might be able to replace US if need arises to fill this role in a century or so, but considering Chinese culture, demands placed on its European vassals would be several orders of magnitude harsher.
That moment when you're not sure if sarcasm may have already been implemented. We've already seen that hilarious video of the female university student insisting that science should study black magic as much as actual physics.
Your suggestion doesn't sound all that far fetched in comparison.
This has been long done with in China, as google play services have been overwhelmingly blocked there on their Great Firewall. By far the most popular OS on Chinese phones is android. Without google play.
The train you're complaining about being on the station left the station many years ago. Chinese android variants have long done away with any google play dependencies, and their customers largely don't care about google play in any way, as Tencent et al have long developed alternatives for everything and more.

Complete fabrication. It's well documented that approximately 90% of garbage is sourced from major Asian and African rivers.
Since we're talking about EU policy, here's a citation from German national broadcaster on the topic:

He read the actual data. Summary is intentionally misleading.
When you are so deranged by green ideology, you seriously claim that wind and solar are the most cost effective power production methods.
Mueller will save you, I'm sure. Any day now.
This growth in emissions is not about coal, which is simply not competitive in US right now due to shale revolution having made natgas almost free.
It's about the massive growth cycle US is in.
By this logic, suicidal people aren't wrong, because they are also a [portion of population].
Just existing doesn't make one right in one's actions.
We are? Last I checked, dissatisfaction with EU establishment is at all time high around the Union. To the point where normally "keep calm and pretend public is irrelevant" EU bureaucrats are openly voicing concerns that next MEP elections will upend the ability of EU to pass any meaningful directives through the Parliament.
So you want a city cleansed of disgusting human life that generates all those things as a necessity of just surviving?
If you're in US, yes. Quit your job and get another. It's never been a better job seeker's market in lifetimes of those alive and of working age today.

Utterly unworkable because most of these HMDs are going to be used by families.
Best part being that you need the original receipt, which will not even show anything after a couple of years, as it's printed with thermal ink.

Do you realise that Nokia you're citing is a different company from HMD which is licensing the Nokia brand for its phones?
