Putting electricity into the grid is almost useless in Germany because you don’t get much back. Solar panels and the legal stuff behind them is expensive and it will take many years to break even. Might be better with an electric car, but y

I dislike high driving positions of crossovers and suvs sooo... that is not a car for me either.

Would be a good thing to be honest. The EU is a trade pact that went horribly wrong with overregulation and a lot of costs. What happens in the EU is not voted for but if you are in the EU is. Huge governments are just as harmful as huge co

The EU is not really voted by the people. Very indirectly at max. And even then there are many people with cars who want to keep their cars but still vote green here. For some obscure reasons.

What do you mean "try them out"? I said I drove one and i did not like it. It is not just the rattling interior that i dislike. The pedals, the wheel size, the rear passenger space, the trunk space, no speedo and no HUD in front o

1) You could just buy a diesel which seems to be better with co2 emissions for now. Nuclear power is a rarity still.

Do not get your hopes up. Governments have decided that ICE engines will get killed and that will happen. Have a look at Euro 7. Looks like from 2025 onwards the EU wont be able to buy ICE cars anymore. Even PHEVs will probably have i4s at

Polestar builds tunes for regular Volvos and 2 cars. The polestar 1 is a plug in hybrid coupe that costs about 200k and the polestar 2 is a model 3 competitor that is rather new.

The Tesla Model 3 LR 2018 that i have driven rattled more in the interior than my 22 year old Volvo with recycled plastic in the interior that is known for rattling. I actually considered saving up for a model 3 because they look like inter

History always repeats itself. Strong men create weak times, weak times create strong men. If you look at history, 1917 problems created 1932 solutions. What do we learn from that? Not a lot, apparently.

Mazda has no real interest in EVs. They have publicly said that BEVs are not the future and a stupid concept. They are just producing EVs to please the EU.

Muscle memory kicks in just like with buttons. The Volvo infotainment does that really well. You can easily learn where something is. Meanwhile with BMWs you still constantly have to look at what you are doing. But that was even normal back

Let’s be honest: most jobs are underpaid in Europe. Especially the lower wage ones. Living costs are rather similar in the us and in the eu. That mostly depends on what city you live. You can’t fire people easily so there is a huge risk inv

Then there is still the issue of storage. With the amount of channels and groups i am in none of my devices would be able to hold everything. While i can just redownload everything from telegram.

by Laarlf 6y ago
You cannot really do this when telegram is available on many devices at the same time. I can use it on 5 devices or even more at the same time. A feature that WhatsApp does not offer. The data is on my phone and maybe (if the backup works f

There is a lot of evidence that voter fraud has happened. While i doubt that it would have made a considerable dent, the election was far from "free, fair and legal". The protestors intent obviously was not to slaughter politician

This doesnt really have anything to do with Nazis. This was a few people who were really unhappy with their government and who actually stood up against that. Something to respect, even if you do not agree with their point. Because if they

Oh yeah. Those are surely independent and don’t have aims at all.

Why not this: try to find ways to reduce the costs without losing any of the benefits. If a different (better) technology does not provide all the benefits, few people might be interested in using it. Forcing technologies like these by law

If I’m looking at HomeKit for example, this is not true. Also people would want google anyway. After all it’s still the most useful search engine for almost everyone. Apple is primarily still a device maker for people who want stuff to just

I do not think you quite got what the message was about. Maybe you should try rereading it.

Somewhere on 4chan some time ago. This is not objectively written but in my opinion it explains why products like these actually have customers. A general change of society: “It’s all about incentives and disincentives. Yes, the job market

So destroy anything that could be useful and reliable (which in turn decreases emissions as well because less things are being produced) and buy new shiny cars? Have you ever looked at how reliable modern cars are (especially with downsized

Amen. Even though you could build a smart home with stuff like home assistant that would solve these issues altogether

It’s just Amazon being a dick. Smart home stuff, especially with home assistant, works well and without internet, self hosted, many things even have fallbacks for when there is no connection to your home assistant server. But Amazon makes s
