According to that, it’s only batteries and Manufacturing equipment. I’m pretty sure model 3 and Y for EU is made in China.
Sort by country to get a very quick view of what is made in Germany.

Most Tesla sold outside USA are made in China.
I recently saw a review of a Tesla here in Denmark (EU so Chinese made), where the reviewer exclaimed, hey the quality has become really good, it’s not like the old shit they used to make.

And I must admit I laughed a little, thinking that’s probably because they are made in China now.
Cars like Xpeng have a reputation of being among the most well built cars you can get! So made in China does not necessarily equal poor quality anymore.

My wife just broke her phone dropping it on cement terrace tiles (stupid dog), which ironically I did about 9 moths ago too, so now she has ordered a Nokia G42.
I’m wondering if we should order extra tiles for the terrace now. 😋

Ah yes of course, I just haven’t used manual mount for almost a decade. So I completely forgot we used to do that. I have to unmount it first though, because USB sticks are automatically mounted.

Yes that’s annoying too, I have no clue why it does that, but when the sync says “clear”, I always wait a couple seconds, and run sync again a couple of times, to see if it’s actually finished. And only THEN unmount the stick.
Copy to USB does not seem very solid on Linux IMO. So I also ALWAYS buy sticks with activity LED.
But even that can fool you, sometimes when I think a smaller copy is finished, because the LED stops blinking, it suddenly starts up again, after having paused for about 1½ second?!?!

Oh boy, yes I remember I used to disable that shit ages ago in fstab, that’s quite annoying that’s still necessary!!!
How do you do that for USB sticks?

except linux waits on updating the UI until all write buffers are flushed, whereas Windows does not.

I wish that were true here. But when I copy to USB the file manager ( XFCE/Thunar ) shows the copy is finished and closes the copy notifications way way before it’s even half done, when I copy movies to a stick.
I use fast USB 3 stick on USB 3 port, and I don’t get anywhere near the write speed the stick manufacturer claims. So I always open a terminal and run sync, to see when it’s actually finished.

I hate to the extreme when systems don’t account for write cache before claiming a copy is finished, it’s such an ancient problem we’ve had since the 90’s, and I find it embarrassing that such problems still exist on modern systems.

Although 3D is nice, it simply doesn’t seem to be sufficient incentive to put up with the isolation from other people and the surrounding environment that the viewing equipment invariably requires.

This is spot on IMO, the technologies are now good enough at producing realistic 3D experiences even interactive, that if there were no inconveniences I’d bet it would be about as popular as color was when that became reality.

3D is in principle probably about as big a change as color once was. Difference is that color was an instant hit for those who could afford it, because there was no downside other than price. 3D is still not very popular, no matter if you use it for entertainment like movies, VR or augmented reality either for entertainment or productivity.

3D simply isn’t very popular even within one of those segmants, and I’d argue @SquiffSquiff is 100% right in his conclusion that it’s just too inconvenient.

You are absolutely correct, I’d also argue Q is more fantasy than SciFi, it’s probably more correct to say Star Trek was MOSTLY SciFi, while Star Wars had more fantasy elements as a fundamental part of the Universe that are the basis for the stories.

Personally I consider time travel as absolutely a fantasy element, I see no reason to believe the past and future exist at the same “time” as the present. Which makes time travel basically nonsense.
All time travel speculation quickly ends out in either infinities or paradoxes. Only a very careful author, who set up strict limitations prevent that.
To be honest I’m extremely tired of all the time travel babble Star Trek has turned into, where time travel is a key element of the stories.

Thanks. 😀

Thanks. I just found the entire series, 😋 but with some odd numbering?:

Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 01 - The Trouble Twisters
Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 02 - War Of The Wing-Men
Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 03 - Trader To The Stars
Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 04 - Satan’s World
Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 05 - Mirkheim
Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 06 - The Earth Book Of Stormgate
Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - People in the Wind

Completely different numbering than for instance the recommended here?

https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/polesotechnic-league/

Which would you recommend?
By publication date or chronological story line?

Back in the days of Star trek the next generation, Voyager and Deep Space 9, I Would say Star Wars is not really Science Fiction but Science Fantasy.
But unfortunately that’s become true for Star Trek too.

As Science Fiction I clearly prefer old school Star Trek, but as Science Fantasy Star Wars does it way better IMO.

I hadn’t heard about Poul Anderson’s Polesotechnic League stories before, they look very interesting, I’ll bookmark that for when I feel like some old school SciFi. 👍 😀

A standard boot system for Arm would have been awesome 10-20 years ago! I dreamed about that already back in 2005 when the OLPC idea was new, but when the netbooks finally came out, based on somewhat similar ideas, they were exclusively Intel!!!

I must admit that after having waited in vain for 20 years now, I no longer give a shit. I cannot fathom how Arm didn’t create such a standard at least a decade ago?
Initial Netbooks with Linux were very popular, but when vendors switched to a deprecated version of Windows, that ran way worse in every way, popularity of Netbooks actually dropped for a while, and the entire concept was basically declared dead. Because they were next to unusable compared to the early Linux Netbooks.

Netbooks with Arm/Linux could have been HUGE!! But now the time has passed, because many use IOS or Android instead.

So how many exactly were killed in South Korea? And how many at the White House?
I’d say what Trump did is absolutely just as extreme, and at least as illegal, probably more.

It’s good that South Korean politicians and authorities are acting promptly in this situation to protect democracy.
I wonder why nothing ever happened in USA with Trump, and how he is not in jail even 4 years after trying basically the same thing.

Doesn’t make the least bit of sense to me either?

To clarify, the economic slowdown is not dissuading the CCP from becoming more aggressive; it’s doing the opposite.

And my response was that Xi was already more aggressive than his predecessor before the economic slowdown/Covid. It’s been steadily getting worse, so yes it’s worse now, possibly but not necessarily accelerated by the economic slow down.

Why would I want to watch that?

In a way, we are actually really lucky he is so honest about who he is and how he works.

Who?

Exactly, I edited my post to make that clear.
