I'd have believed you after the first source though

This happened to me with Sennheiser headphones. They broke, and I returned them. They by now had become the old model which was sold out. So they gave me a gift card which allowed me to buy new model for a price lower than my initial purchase. Gotta love those warranty laws.

Yeah flat is also not necessarily the most portable, if I carry a charger it's not always the only tech so wide and long can also be annoying. I'm fine with what I have so I'll stick to it as longs as it works. But if it breaks I might consider both.

Feels like newspeak for them dropping content moderation, but it's vague enough to make me question that.

Old news: Israel government commit war crimes

Slightly less old news: western media document said war crimes

Still not news: western governments refuse to step in to end genocide.

Anyone who feels angry about crimes like this and is not busy fighting Israeli soldiers should shift their attention to the governments that allow Israel to commit genocide and other war crimes, and support media and organisations speaking up against Israel.

The world gets poorer > oil and other raw materials become cheaper > Russia earns less money > Russia also gets poorer.

I agree you need to take into account how much money, time and effort you are able or willing to spend on eu-alternarives. I think you are right in allowing yourself to make choice based on your circumstances and being ok that.

But it's also fair to let others make their own choices and letting them choose which purchase they want to make according to whatever scale they please.

You wrote in another post about Californian raisins being labeled as a European product because they were sold by a European company, I agree this is a bit misleading. But my point is, that a European company buying something from US can be seen as a better alternative to a US company selling the same product.

Kuddos for the meme format, i like this.

Your point is valid but as long as Asia creates all our electronics you can order companies from least to most European and base your decision on this.

Also you can order the Asian countries that manufacture electronics from least to most following European values and standards. Not al non-eu countries are equally bad.

The real problem in my eyes is the lack of transparency by companies with international production lines.
