Fair point. But it will still be overkill to require 240W for a device that will never take it.

I know it will regulate output. But requirements should make sense.

If you want democracy, you have to expect and accept disagreement. Even if it’s as shitty and fucked up as chat control.

Which the majority doesnt want.

Chat Control was still a proposal made by a few politicians in a big continent. Never an EU made innitiative of any kind, and never voted through.

And I think you should read about the democratic system in the EU, if you want to challenge how she was elected.

She’s elected how most of European countries elect their presidents. You vote for parties, and then after; one among them will be president. Typically the head figure from the biggest party.

We should be very glad it’s not an election like in the US. Awful way of giving “power” to the people, by putting a single person in charge by popular vote.

When you make minimum requirements, you dont go for max. All laptops shouldnt be able to take 240W.

Nothing is perfect, but the EU is by far the best government entity for consumers right now.

Makes you wonder what your phones sees / hears every day.

So the truth is they store messages encrypted. But what they also do is storing the private keys for those messages.

Meaning they technically do it. But it’s like locking the door for someone who also has the keys.

Wtf is that shit even.

Imagine having to hire someone who gets lower prices to do your shopping.

There’s alot of companies that doesnt sell a single thing to the US market, that makes millions.

I think we’ll be okay.

As long as he fully complies with the GDPR, I’m not against his product.

Every US company is spyware after the US Cloud Act got into law in 2018.

How is the current administration not treason. Answers your initial question, I think.

No, it’s also that use case.

80% battery life is still not optimal for any EV with current range.

The idea is not bad, but also a testament to the batteries problem. The current technology in them dies too fast if this could be a viable solution.

Nice for the current state of reality, but hopefully batteries are better in the future.

Might be low, but it’s still access to the internet. Seems like a great move.

No way, it’s for the data collection.

They dont want to share it, that’s right, but it’s very much not done by accident.

Some people really dont care about putting money into facist companies, huh.

When batteries one day gets lighter in weight, we might see hybrid planes at scale. Or even full electric for smaller flights.

Then oil is really about to get abundant in some parts of the world.

It’s already happening with cargo ships and trains. (Yes, I know they are much easier to transition to electric than planes)

And even if the battery is degraded with maybe 5%, it’s still an amazing car.

Lets say you needed to replace the battery one day anyway. You’ll have saved on every other reparation, because EVs dont have moving parts that breaks all the time like in old cars.

Regulating big countries like we regulate monopolies. And should regulate billionairs.

Too much power corrupts everything.
