Can they really stop them from gaining traction? The Chinese domestic market over which they have no control and some third party allies like Brazil seem large enough to support them scaling up.
They could go scorched earth with tariffs and export restrictions, but that would only hinder them in the medium term and make them double their efforts.
Die Union ist meiner Meinung nach schlicht und ergreifend nicht an konstruktiver Politik interessiert, was man auch in den letzten Jahren an der Art und Weise ihrer Oppositionspolitik gesehen hat.
Und wenn dein einziges Ziel ist Sachen ab- statt aufzubauen, dann lässt sich das einfacher rechtfertigen, wenn es Grenzen wie die Schuldenbremse gibt.
This seems like a terrible deal for Ukraine. No guarantees and only obligations, not that you could trust anything Trump promises anyways.
But if it comes to it, then it is also a huge blunder by the EU imo. At this point it seems pretty clear to me that if Ukraine wants to achieve security and prosperity in the longterm, then it'll only happen through integration with the EU. In that process Europe will have to bear most of the load, which however could also be a great opportunity. Allowing the US to swoop in like that and secure profits will make everything to come much harder.
Imo the EU would have plenty to offer aswell or could even strongarm Ukraine into choosing their offer (although this would be way less preferable), if it were to actually act according to its size. Anything from finally ramping up military orders by an order of magnitude and building capacities that can actually make use of the economies of scale, finally releasing frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, or even extending air defenses over part of Ukraine to lessen their burden.
Wird auf jeden Fall spannend, wo er in der Wirtschaft seine einzigartigen Fähigkeiten einbringen darf. Porsche wäre auch meine erste Vermutung gewesen, aber so ein Macher kann sicher gleich in mehreren Unternehmen und Aufsichtsräten gleichzeitig "arbeiten".
What I don't quite understand is how there is 1.5 billion in a single wallet. Or how are these things structured?
This article puts their total assets under management at $15.7b, which are held in different cryptocurrencies with ethereum at just above $5b.
So I am wondering how they have more than 1/6 of their Ethereum in a single wallet or were these multiple that were connected and got compromised through the same vulnerability? How expensive is it to have more individual wallets? Would it not be feasible to have it split in something like $100m chunks? Or any other more moderate size.
The Deutschlandticket was 49€ until recently when they increased the price to 58€ per month.
Still good value, but considering this is like a 20% increase within a year of existence and the price shouldn't even be meant to cover the costs (since there are many other benefits it provides) it is disappointing.
Before even that they should start to pool and align their defense industries. But if you look how that is going, then imo it becomes apparent how divided the EU still is.
Germany and France keep arguing who gets to do what in their joint projects, Poland buys Korean and US equipment for a lot of their stuff, and different counties are part of different projects for the next gen planes.
But anyways even if that happens, as long as we have unanimous decision making processes, a combined army would be to slow to react due to politics. As we've e.g. seen with sanctions
That's pretty much me aswell, besides that I didn't even spend energy to try and learn others. Simple docker compose, simple ui and easy way to add services.
I am sure there are alternatives that allow for more elaborate setups and fancier things. But for the low effort I put into it, I got a page with some nice buttons with appropriate icons that scales to whatever screen size it's displayed on. Only additional thing I did was enabled to show some basic info to see if e.g. SABnzbd is downloading something, which was also super easy.
Why do you want a Mac? The only valid choices are aesthetics, brand loyalty or ignorance.
I feel like something got lost in the discussion here. I don't want a Mac, that's the whole point.
I want a device that is like the Macbook air, but without the crap Apple pulls. So with easily expandable storage, ideally expandable RAM and an easy way to run another OS than MacOS on it (i am aware that in theory Ashai Linux is an option for Aplle silicon macs).
Because i do think in this case there are more valid reasons than "aesthetics, brand loyalty or ignorance", simply because the Macbook air to me in many ways seems like a very well rounded, nice package (with the caveat of Apple doing Apple things) and the rest of the market doesn't offer an equivalent. With the Macbook Air M1 being 4 years old by now and options like Intels Lunar Lake existing, it really would be possible to make.
I didn't specify "non technical" as I'd actually like one like it myself and would consider myself at least moderately tech-savvy. I meant average in what many people actually end up doing on their laptop, which is browsing, writing, watching videos and maybe doing some very minor productivity tasks.
That said i would say that yes, even non technical users would appreciate a high quality screen. They admittedly probably wouldn't know to look out for it at purchase or what to look out for on a spec sheet, but in my opinion they would appreciate it during use (more so than some extra unneeded performance)
The demographic that is just Apple fanboys and they weren’t giving up their overpriced garbage no matter what.
Yes, apple fanboys will be fanboys, but the M-series Macbook Airs are imo are just a really great piece of hardware. Particularly the M1 when it came out and even nowadays imo is even priced decently for what it offers.
So far i don't know a good non-Apple alternative that manages to fully match the M1 Macbook Air features (sans the non-upgradable storage that Apple charges way to much for and that destroys most of the value proposition).
Ich finde die Tatsache, dass wir auf diese Art der hybriden Kriegsführung anscheinend keinerlei Antwort haben tatsächlich problematischer als Ding, wie unter der 2% Schwelle bei den Militärausgaben zu bleiben.
Da hilft uns mehr Geld auch nur bedingt, weil es sich primär um politische Probleme handelt.
As someone else already answered it is of course not ideal for movie consumption, since it gives you black bars top/bottom, but for productivity it is really nice. Everything from writing, spreadsheets or reading on the Internet benefits from it. Reading long horizontal sentences isn't that comfortable and often times task bars at the top and/or bottom take away some extra space. So a typical 16:9 display ends up offering very little useful working space. The taller aspect ratio isn't a massive shift, but a nice quality of life improvement.
It also means that you have slightly more space for the keyboard or a larger track pad.
If you are ever in a retail shop that carries Microsoft 's surface laptops you could check them out, as they are one of the few laptops that use a 3:2 aspect ratio display.
Haven't looked at Chromebooks in a while, but you are right that the use case would be similar.
However I was under the impression that they are mostly competing at a lower price point. So I assume you wouldn't find nice build quality or screens.
Beyond that I am not really familiar with how chromeOS stacks up nowadays or if it would be trivial to install Linux/windows on them. Especially if they still have EOL dates after which they aren't updated with software anymore.
A quick search tells me that Google seems to work on a laptop and plans to merge (?) android and chromeOS more.
So overall again products that share some aspects of what the MacBook Air makes attractive, but doesn't offer the full package.
Sadly doesn't seem to be fanless, which imo is a really nice feature when you dont care about high performance. Not sure if in the real world you can find good deals on the snapdragon laptops, but list price is also quite high and that keyboard with touch function keys doesn't seem great either.
So in my book that's still no match for what a macbook air m1/2 offers, which by now are a few years old and can be found for decent prices. They might be aiming at the same market, but aren't equal.
A proper non-Apple Macbook Air equivalent. Because imo for the average user that just browses the internet and does some light office work it seems perfect. And with that I mean:
fanless
good screen preferably 3:2 or 16:10
long battery life
unlike the air expandable storage and ideally non soldered ram
solid build quality
priced at maybe 600-800€?
doesn't have to have the greatest performance
Tbh i thought we would get it with Intels lunar lake processors, but so far no luck.
Ich fürchte, dass ich wohl zu dem Teil der Bevölkerung zähle der es letztlich als notwendig sieht, da mir schlicht keine Alternativen einfallen. Mit dem Risiko radikal zu klingen (was ich nicht bin, da zu apathisch):
Das derzeitige Handel vieler Unternehmen und die aktuelle Klimapolitik diverser Parteien ist Ökoterrorismus gegenüber der Allgemeinheit. Aber leider primär in einer stochastischen Form, die eine konkrete Täter-Opfer-Verbindung erschwert oder unmöglich macht.
Deswegen wäre es nicht so abwegig eine Reaktion eher als Selbstverteidigung zu betrachten, wo allerdings natürlich immernoch diverse Limitierungen gelten.
Wenn ich mir anschaue, wie wenig Effekt die wiederholten Demonstrationen gegen Rechts hatten, welche größer und von einem noch breiteten Spektrum der Gesellschaft getragen wurden, dann sind diese Mittel für einfache Bürger offensichtlich nutzlos.
