> If his successor misses the deadline, he can say things changed, Xi failed to consider factors X,Y,Z, etc. That's not how the CCP operates though. They are not a country where the puppets matter so much, like in most of the wester

But calling Taipei a "Tier-3" city does refer to economic prowess, that's what I mean. If you like to say what you think, then trust me, Taipei has much better quality of life. If you see people like Naomi Wu being arrested a

Oh ok I kinda stopped ordering from them since it was introduced. I've been ordering lots of stuff before it came in so I could have some stock of things I use a lot, like WS2812B LEDs, micro screws etc. I was really infuriated when I

I know but in practice those categories are very narrow. If I order two different things I'll still pay the fee twice in practice.

It seems to be about much more than just regional power. To China it's a matter of pride and it's a big factor in the century of humiliation. Even when a country other than the US does something to benefit Taiwan, Beijing is super

True because those kindles don't even have a lot of memory or storage.

I've seen support here for the pirate party and other things like pirate bay.

Yes and I remember a thriving community of IRC DCC file servers. I used them back in the day to read books on my palm pilot before wink existed.

They stopped because they already had everything in their model anyway.

Not everything is unnecessary and a lot of it will be bought anyway but now through EU resellers that charge a lot more for the same shit.

Yup and those parts often cost literal cents making the €3,60 per item a ridiculously high fee. All while we're protecting the environment by repairing things.

The EU is doing just fine economically. It's a great place to live which matters much more than money. Also, the US has 40 trillion in debt. Every taxpayer owes $280k. The EU is not perfect and recently they took a turn for the worse w

And even that wasn't anything new. They did the same with Japan and then Taiwan. Remember when made in Japan was a joke, then made in Taiwan? Now Japan is known for quality electronics and options and Taiwan for state of the art semico

I have a friend in Taiwan and he told me they're pretty happy because they have independence this way. If they go for more international recognition etc they'll gain nothing they don't already have but they'll upset the

You can get huge fines as the shipper. If you're sending from outside the EU they don't have a hope in hell to actually collect that but if you're inside they do.

As a socialist I don't believe in free trade above all anyway. Some free trade sure but it should not be a goal, internal protection it's more important. We shouldn't move to the American model. And I see the EU being corrupt

Well that's probably because Germany is one of the few countries that actually enforces it. I'm in Spain and I've helped build some websites and none of them had anything like this. But in Spain there's a huge difference

That's only the DSA, it's only a small part of web regulation in the EU. Overall there is very little in the way of exceptions for small businesses. Similarly with the EPR / PPWR changes that went into effect on the 12th of A

Well on facebook you could originally choose who you wanted to share things with. Not sure if that's still there because I haven't used it in years.

It's very difficult these days in the EU. With all the regulations around age verification, the requirement to work with police, having a privacy and cookie policy, a moderation policy, all that crap that the politicians force not just

Yes I noticed that chat apps have kinda taken over the role of social media. At least for the usecase of staying in touch with friends. I'm sure why too though, it's because all social media push these algorithmic feeds on us mean

Yeah I've been wondering about this in regards to the honor magic stylus. If it can do real palm rejection. Do you have experience with this one perhaps? Since you mention you saw some other manufacturers.

Thanks! I wonder why. In the EU we see a lot of American sites blocking us because they don't want to bother with the GDPR, cookie permissions and such. For example https://www.homedepot.com/ . But I don't think T

Yes it is. But there are many things it can still be used for. In Holland for example they use microwave connections to create a backbone network to do things like repeater linking and to distribute amateur TV without using the internet lik

Yes but they were mainly a force of evil. Despite their old motto. They made the internet everything it is today, a hellscape of tracking, advertising and other monetisation.

Turbines are used a lot because there's not many places that would support that kind of power drain. And they're often noisy transportable units because they can claim it's a temporary setup and skirt some of the permits.

20W is a lot to pump into a piece of coax if it's not going to an antenna. Besides usually the practice is to simply put the signal handling equipment at the antenna, or down convert to a lower frequency like an LNB does. I would imagi
