In Germany freelance work is killed by “Scheinselbstständigkeit”. Authorities will eventually require to pay some taxes afterwards if you have only one client. Both from freelancer and the company. Companies don’t want that and shady body l

Please read this article in German: https://www.merkur.de/lokales/muenchen/so-viel-gibt-muenchen... They get not only free housing, but also free food and even a janitor! That’s better than significant part of the

Sounds like the text was written by my German native speaker colleague and then translated to English. But the tool is fine. The range drops dramatically in winter on the autobahn. -1% or more per minute of driving. Not thinkable with petro

These are radical changes that went too far for conservative buyers like me. Old model Y is the perfect balance between modern touch and classical usability with the stalks. I will definitely not buy another Tesla with yoke/buttons on

That’s what I do with my model Y. Pedal to the metal immediately when it’s safe to drive fast. Long trips only with the family. And then charge time doesn’t matter. Or we just take the plane.

I have found Volkswagen’s range estimator and I think it’s trustworthy: https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/electric-and-hybrid/charging... I think, the range from here could be estimated for similar Tesla models too.

But elsewhere it works fine: https://carnewschina.com/2024/01/03/the-updated-saic-vw-id-3... The prices are nothing comparable to European ones. And Zwickau (where ID.3 is apparently built) is also rather low

VW (group) should do something about their sick prices. In my case model y was simply cheaper by €15k compared to Škoda Enyaq and ID.4. It’s a lot of money. Plus these drum brakes and low maximal speed in first generation cars. ID.7 is supe

Farmers love subsidies. Guaranteed price paid for every kWh they produce. Yet there is remote shutdown implemented in new large PV installations and the love is slowly disappearing.

The mail got broken. Somewhere in 18 iOS release. I am also getting weird touch issues. Almost impossible to reproduce and I have no time for 20 Genius Bar appointments to prove it. I will buy another iPhone in 5 years again, maybe the one

Thanks. That was interesting discovery. Including the New Keynesian theory. However I assume now, that rational expectations do not work and the actors can be bribed. Bribed for example for selling government owned housing to private corpor

It’s also worth mentioning, that these people/organizations hide very well. For broad society they don’t exist and if you mention this, you get a label “crazy conspiracy theory lover”. Funny thing, even law for such constructs exist an

Wrong. Small ruling class will own everything. And the majority will have nothing and no rights to have something. It has been tried before.

Berlin is special place. You can find there all kinds of awkward Soviet or German Democratic Republic gear. I don’t know what for though. It has no sentimental value for me and for real work it is mostly useless in 2025.

Obviously riches in all countries are influencing politics. But Musk is next (probably never seen before) level. The guys with golden Kalashnikovs look like kids compared to him. Will Musk be the next president?

Probably not. Proper grounding and good shielding is needed. Eventually you can use conductive glue and attach the foil to the pcb (my guess is that Tesla uses low cost printed circuit board antenna, haven’t seen it yet) antenna directly me

Ok, my old model Y has a camera inside to monitor me. 1€ AliExpress camera cover gave my privacy back. The new model y has a radar. So it will monitor not only my presence, but also my vital parameters as well as vital parameters of all pas

Not really. It’s complicated in Germany. But normally a company has somebody named official electrician. It can be outsourced. And this electrician has a right to delegate some tasks to somebody else. So in this case trainee gets the right
