You’re just not the target audience, as shown in this handy diagram:

American CPU, made in Taiwan, assembled in China, and somehow European tech?

Let me know when it’s a RISC-V laptop made at STMicroelectronics with memory made at GlobalFoundries in Dresden!

Macs, when the macOS was still called MacOS X, stability, sensible UX, and much better software and hardware compared to Windows.

Well at point one, you’ve lost Volkswagen

I’m late to the party and also laundering money in the Ozarks. Fml!

The thing is, China has little oil of their own, so a push into wind, solar and electric vehicles helps their strategic independence. The US has plenty, and enough entrenched interests to keep pushing ahead on 20th century technology.

I don’t know, perhaps gaming will get rejected AI chips with a few cores broken. The chip design requirements are slightly different but not completely foreign

Emily Blunt is unrecognizable in the picture above!

Dog’s raincoat 🤷🏻

Well in Europe we have Miele brand appliances which are close…

These appliances would cost similar to 60 years ago? You’ll be spending 2-3 months salary on a washing machine or television. We got used to cheap and poor quality - poor repairability devices in the consumer economy.

Probably Freemasons?

UpScrolled was launched in June 2025 by Recursive Methods Pty Ltd.[2][3] It was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian-Australian app developer who previously worked for IBM and Oracle.[3][4] UpScrolled is backed by the Tech for Palestine incubator.

So much for being impartial.

He also pardoned Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan.

A friend sent me a link to Tripwire force (Wikipedia) makes sense!

Yes, simplified thinking here led to Mao killing off sparrow to protect crops only for those crops to be eaten by insects that otherwise would have been managed by said sparrows…

Typical wall outlet in china. Any plug will hang loosely in there and work. Dangerously
