  • Australian woman used her BYD electric car to power her son's dialysis machine during a blackout

  • They are currently dumping their cars in the UK market and I think Parliament is considering increasing their tariffs. If they try and enter the US, best believe they will tax the shit out of them.

  • Thanks for the context. Just seems like there are so many articles about BYD lately.

  • China Is Pressing Women to Have More Babies. Many Are Saying No.

  • Taiwan has paid time off for mothers(not dad's). Usually a month or so. There are no housing benefits in Taiwan that I know of. The incentive is def a small portion of how much a child costs, but it's not a little. I get like 8000nt a month directly deposited into my account. I also get schooling incentives. It is basically free cash that pays around 25% of my child's schooling/daycare.

    China has a brutal 996 culture if you're lucky to even have a job. Nobody is going to start making babies when a VERY large % of your young population is unemployed.

  • I hate to do this, but I feel like Taiwan(numba 1) is doing this better than China(numba 4).

    The Taiwan government is literally giving money to have kids. The more kids you have, the more monthly cash they give you. I think our president said something along the lines of "it's up to our country to take care of all children of Taiwan". I'm paraphrasing.

    Not just cash, we also have infrastructure setup. Most malls, government buildings and public places have breastfeeding rooms. There is almost always a bathroom designated for people with children. There are even bathrooms set up with small tiny toilets. There is a designated area for kids to sit on the train. There are designated elevators for kids.

    Plus healthcare is free/cheap so that helps.

    If China wants more babies, it needs to start giving the people things that promote having kids. Unless you force them to have kids.... I guess because you can. Fuck the CCP.

  • Japan's 18-year-olds at record-low 1.06 million on falling births

    Jump

  • Which part? Maybe I'll visit there next time.

    Also, I'm coming from Taiwan which is very VERY friendly to kids and families. So I guess I was expecting a similar experience.

  • Google Photos Alternative

    Jump

  • Google definitely has better face recognition. You can pick up a QNAP and put a Google coral and essentially do the same thing.

    I also run a 3rd party software that does the tagging. But it's annoying to do each time.

  • Google Photos Alternative

    Jump

  • This is my setup using the 3, 2, 1 rule:

    3: Raid 5 setup with 2 unused drives and setup to automatically spool up and recover if one of the drives starts failing. 2: off-site at the father in laws house (using a Xpenology super tiny PC and an external drive) 1: Monthly Backblaze

    While there is risk, it's def safer if not safer than Google drive.

  • I will get downvoted for this but a Synology Nas is simple and does 90% of what google will do. They also have their own DDNS or you can use whatever you like.

    Downside is tou have to buy their hardware. Unless you do the Xpenology route.

  • Don't get me wrong Mario land was great. But just weird shit drove us mad even inside a family friendly place like Universal Studios.

    We had a friend with us that had a 3 year old girl with them. The airline lost their stroller(this was an major ordeal, nobody spoke English at the airports there)so they decided to rent from Universal Studio instead.

    First of all, the person who was attending the stroller section didn't speak a lick of English. Fine. Whatever. We used Google translate. He asked us how old the girl was and I said 3 years old.

    The next question was"Is it her birthday? "...

    Us: ummmm, no. That was a month ago.

    They immediately said: "No rent to you. "

    Wtf dude. Why?!?! Because the rules are 3 years old or younger. That means less than 36 months, not less than 48 months.

    Just random shit like that seems the norm for the Japanese.

  • Visited Japan(Osaka) recently with my 5 year old son. While there is infrastructure setup for people with kids such as stroller only elevators, kids/elder section on the train, nobody, I mean, nobody followed the rules. Regularly the stroller only elevators were full and nobody got out. Or able body adults didn't even glance up to let my sleepy child sit in the kids designated seats.

    There were glares at us when my son was having a hard time, almost like we were inconveniencing them.

    In my week-long experience there, people in general are not tolerated for children. No wonder nobody wants kids. I wouldn't want to if I was treated that way.

  • The only way it will be unified is when it's called Mainland Taiwan.

  • Venice to ban large tourist groups and loudspeakers

    Jump

  • Ahh yes. On the same trip we went to see the Sistine chapel and those security did the same thing to us. We weren't even next to the security guys but wow. Dude was annoyingly loud. Even the people trying to pray was looking up annoyed at the security guard.

    Also unless you're doing an extremely long exposure, you ain't getting any photos in there.

  • Venice to ban large tourist groups and loudspeakers

    Jump

  • I specifically remember my first visit to Venice. I remembered going to a church to see the art. All the tourist were relatively quiet compared to the security person screaming to us to be quiet using a louspeaker. He used his louspeaker to make the loudest SHHHHH sound imaginable and them followed up with scream to us that "This is a church, everyone must be quiet".

    Overall it was a terrible experience.

  • That's fantastic that the CCP is creating the infrastructure to switch over to EV. It STILL doesn't change the fact that they are intentionally dumping on the competition.

    Also requiring the public to switch to EVs non organically has repercussions as well. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2023-china-ev-graveyards/

    The company you work for saw subsidized money for more e-waste and what the (fuck)CCP did actually increase greenhouse gases.

    Other notable CCP fuckups are....

    1 child policies Covid lockdowns And my personal favorite: The Four Pest Campaign (which led to one of the biggest famine) https://youtu.be/ojOmUWLDG18?si=1OXqD3bXpWVI5RI2
