China hasn't been having a trade war with the US, that's nonsense. China is/was an emerging economy and had seen how the US fucked with other similar economies in the region, and did what it thought was right. You can argue that it wasn't the right thing (I would) but now China has reached the stage where it is looking to do trade deals that remove such barriers anyway. CSTPP did it, and it's been talking to the EU about it.
Trump blundered in at just the wrong moment, just the time where all the efforts of his predecessors were bearing fruit and trade deals were a possibility.
Many devices come with a strong default password printed on the case. Can't lose it because it's on the device permanently. It's a good enough password for the user to keep using without changing it, and the physical security of it being in your house is adequate for stuff like WiFi and Bluetooth pairing codes.
Manufacturers will avoid those problems because they don't want a huge number of returns. They will set a decent default password, as many already do.
When thinking about these consumer laws you have to remember that manufactures always want to avoid customers having problems with their products, at least until the warranty expires, because most places make it their problem to fix it.
A great example of this is what happened with TPP. When the US pulled out the other countries decided to continue on their own with CPTPP, basically the same thing but without the US. They dropped all the stuff that the US wanted by they didn't of course.
So now they have this huge trade deal with 11 countries and the US is trying to do individual deals with each of them. Of course they don't want to do individual deals, the whole point of doing a collective one was that no single country could make demands without broader agreement. And of course, that's why Trump didn't like it, he thought he could do better individual deals and force countries to agree to them.
What has actually happened is that the CPTPP signatories are just stalling with the US, waiting for Trump to go away. Japan doesn't want to lower automotive standards to allow more US cars to be sold there, and doesn't want to lower food standards to allow US meat products to be sold (like the EU they don't allow chlorine washing for example).
Problem is the supply chain. To build stuff in the US you need a supply of parts from China, because the US doesn't build everything or doesn't build it at the right price.
But now there are tariffs on those supplies. Not the end of the world for products sold in the US market, although the paperwork is a hidden cost and there is the uncertainty factor about what tariffs might appear in the future. They are a killer for anything exported from the US though, especially with other trade deals under threat with neighbours in the north and south.
The visa situation is also an issue. if staff can't easily move between China and the US it's a non-tariff barrier.
Look at Equifax. Masses of extremely personal data leaked out, media blitz for a day or two, and they are still operating with a promise to do better next time.
There were some great 2D games for that generation. Castlevania on the PS1, and numerous titles on the Saturn like Street Fighter Alpha 2, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun... Even the N64 had Bangai-O, although the Dreamcast version was better.
Unfortunately they will likely only bring 3D stuff to the new machine. I guess Tekken wasn't bad.
It was a pretty epic fuck-up... I don't know how that ever got past review. They could have just asked one of the many, many Youtube channels that does it all day all week to help them out.
The issue with he $35k model is that it's just not very competitive. For that you get a stripped down hatchback with a decent motor but very little else. No comfort features like heated/ventilated seats, minimal interior, no autopilot etc. And most of all the range isn't that impressive for the money.
You can already buy a Kona, Niro is due in a couple of months, Leaf 60 is due this year too. The Model 3 Short Range out is already expensive compared to those cars and the spec you get from their top models, let alone the base models.
I dunno, there is a lot of interest in the 40kWh model from non-EV people.
The M3 TCO might be lower than some ICE cars, but still not really in the affordable category. And most importantly it's much, much more expensive than the competition for long range EVs, namely the Niro, Kona and soon the Leaf 60.
The Model 3 isn't a cheap car though, so it's likely that these figures are just because they did a pre-order and people had time to save up. Either that or there are a lot of rich people who can afford to drop $50k on a car.
I have a feeling that the base $35k model may be dropped, at least in Europe. They already removed it from their web site.
While I'm glad it's selling well, credit for popularizing EVs must also go to Nissan. The Leaf, especially outside the US, was the game changer. Affordable, good, and proved that EVs were practical. They also build a lot of the charging infrastructure in many countries.
It's useful for commercial projects. Even for companies BGA soldering is an issue. You can't just throw a BGA part in without looking at the soldering profiles of everything else on the board, and manufacturing costs more in any case.
I know a guy who destroyed his TV when he saw the ending to Lost. Not intentionally, he just threw something at it in a rage, but it made him realize he didn't want to buy another.
AMP consists of two main parts. There is an AMP Javascript library which is spyware free (you can check for yourself, just download it) and there are AMP caches. Anyone can run an AMP cache. Cloudflare does, I'm sure there are others.
which should ultimately result in their moving those businesses to other locations which can still offer those tax advantages
Unlikely, because the EU thought of that. The new rules are making it so that corporations pay tax proportionate to how much business they do in each country, regardless of if they funnel all the profit to some tax haven or not. So there really isn't any point pulling out of Ireland, it won't help them.
Actually we don't punish people for civil matters like this in Europe.
There is no concept of punitive damages when suing someone or some entity. There is no restorative justice, which means the amount of money awarded is calculated to restore things to how they would have been if the problematic thing hadn't happened.
So in this case the back taxes and interest need to be paid to the government that will spend it on the citizens who are entitled to it under EU rules, and also remove the incentive that Ireland has been giving to Apple and others.
You could argue that Ireland should have to distribute some of that money to other countries that lost out on having businesses set up there because of Ireland's illegal subsidies. But it wouldn't be like in the US where there is a large amount added on top of their losses just as punishment, it would be based purely on losses.
They claimed that their staff got some racist abuse. Since the original video is gone we can't check the comments on it, but from the video you linked to:

It was a terrible video and all that, but is there really any need to exaggerate their statement about it into a straw man and then link to a video that proves you wrong anyway?
For some reason Apple phones always have a red tint to their photos. You can see it very clearly in this comparison: https://www.dxomark.com/huawei...
Also look at the low light performance. If you like doing night time city shots (I do) then the iPhone's performance is lacking. There is a lot of bloom, artificial smoothing, the colours go completely weird and the highlight/lowlight detail is very limited.
If you really need iOS then okay, your choices are limited, but otherwise there is still a lot of competition among smartphone cameras and the differences are significant enough for people to care.

Was gonna say "bravo, sir" but couldn't be bothered to post.
Those are called "non-tariff barriers".

Chas has had the EU explained to him multiple times, and he still doesn't understand it. I wouldn't waste your time.

The idea is to protect your family from your untimely death. If you are killed in an accident they won't be unable to pay the mortgage.

I'm happy with anything as long as people who only want to do 6 hour shifts aren't disadvantaged.
Don't worry, there is plenty of malware in the Apple App Store as well.
