Even here in Germany, classic cars are exempt from most air qualityrules (and even regular car taxes) so I doubt that would be a problem anywhere else.
But then, this is pretty cool and catapults classic cars into the 21st century.
And best of it is: A company is showing dedication to their own products and is not trying to obsolete their old products as fast as possible to sell a few more new ones. That's the long term support i want to see from phone manufacturers.
Sounds logical.... until you're thinking it through...
So.. let's say some European country has money laundering laws that require you to report your bank accounts or international money transfers to the local law enforcement authorities.
Coco Cola company does business with that country.
So every Coca Coly employee going on vavation to Euro Disney or Heidelberg should be arrested on spot because Cocoa Coly Company did not report the sale of Coke Mexico to the EU authorities?
Yes, if you are doing business in that country what you are doing in that country is subject to that countries laws.
Just because your company is doing buisness in Japan does NOT imply you have to drive on the left side of the road in the town Whatever, Indiana!
Would you say the same about corruption? What about slavery? Criminal cartels?
Actually.... yes.
No matter which crimes you're talking about, extending a countries jurisdiction over the actual borders usually isn't a good idea. When X isn't a crime in country Y, country Z would only makes things worse by interfering directly. (Of course it's a completly different situation when Y and Z officials are cooperating or have any agreements on law enforcement)
U.S. gives up wealth an trade with Iran specifically to limit the human rights violations that this regime engages in bad faith. When a company develops a scheme to capture for themselves the profit that U.S. sacrifices, it is guilty of aiding human rights violations that the sanctions are limiting.
Well currently the US is in violaition of the contract they negotiated themselfes that was actually designed to end human right violations and building more nuclear weapons.
If someone tells you that plugging a USB stick into a computer that is behind a firewall is safe, you might have heard that it's unsafe, but since it's a testable action you can *know* it's not safe.
How does a real expert do that? He would compare the statement of a maybe-expert to his own knowledge - which he got from other experts: at school, at university, books written by experts and so on.
I'll remind you of this everytime someone on/. posts about errors that were so obvious if only the decisions had been left to the experts instead of the politicians...
This is much better than having someone who thinks he is a cybersecurity expert after blacklisting a website on his home router. That guy would not think it's safe to plug in a random USB stick in a nuclear power plant terminal because "of course the plant has a firewall".
He at least KNOWS that he has to ask experts for technical questions. It's the half-knowledge that's most dangerous.

I thought they would build their phones in china...

Because of "Go 'Murica Rulez!!"?
Actually it does.
How would you like to be arrested for breaking Lampukistan law even though you are not a Lampukian citizen and never been have to Lampukistan?
By now, that's probably not worth more than Google's "don't be evil"
are they gay or do they hate gay America?
Sounds like management SOP.
Create a business unit sopposed to make things better by doing them different, then limit them to the same parts and designs as before.
and probably neither last nor least prostitutes.
And that "everywhere" seems to be exclusively on Asian restaurants!
"Asian brush-caligraphy lookalike font used on many asian restaurants" would have been a more fitting headline.
I think it's way easier to have a remote only or a presence only company than when you have to mix.

Did it hundreds of times. Nothing happened.
It's still not safe....
If I may introduce myself.... Mervyn Bickerdyke. Pleased to meet you.
Have three experts and majority vote.
How does a real expert do that? He would compare the statement of a maybe-expert to his own knowledge - which he got from other experts: at school, at university, books written by experts and so on.
That's often overlooked in the rest of the world.
Heck, a wig on a broomstick would have beaten both of them.
Yes. Well, of course it could turn out the exact opposite, too....
But if played well, this weakness could be turned into an advantage.
Well I know a country that recently elected someone despite looking like a drooling idiot.....
I'll remind you of this everytime someone on /. posts about errors that were so obvious if only the decisions had been left to the experts instead of the politicians...
I don't know. But it would be a trait that could replace actual field experience. Usually paired with a humble mind.

If it was that easy Coca Cola would have stopped Pepsi years ago
It really put in your face that the game was popularity,
Oh, really?
But obviously enough people are willing to pay a shitload more for buisness class if you kame them made as unconfortable as possible first in economy.
I do all of the time.
Not about the prices themselves, but about that lottery when buying tickets.
No matter how low the price is in the end, it WILL feel like a ripoff when they sell it for half of that, too.
