Quote from: Tesla on Yesterday at 18:30:57We need more options for consumers.  Plenty of US car companies made outlandish profits in China for the past 40 years but now that China have capable auto makers you shut the door out of fear.  How capitalistic and unfair.

To be fair, it was a "give and take". US automakers made a lot of profit in China, but China required the US automakers to form joint ventures with Chinese companies and hand over all their technology to the Chinese companies. And since it is a joint venture, they made half the profit as well

Quote from: RAZAK ABBAS on Yesterday at 21:46:39We have a problem here. How do you expect people making minimum wage of $15 or $20 per hour to buy cars made by people making over $40 per hour? It's difficult. I bet the Chinese auto manufacturers aren't paying their workers over $10 per hour.And so, with their government subsidies coupled with low wages, they could sell their EV cars cheaply and still make profits. Then, why the European and American manufacturers couldn't find a way to tackle this short of slapping massive tariffs on Chinese cars.This could be stifling the free flow of world trade. The poor consumers pay and American and their European counterparts continue with their merry old and tired bad ways.

That isn't really an issue, workers make up a small % of the cost of a car. And people on minimum wage are likely buying used cars anyways, not new

In the end, car manufacturing is about mass production at scale. You have to build a platform which costs a billion dollars, then build cars on top that platform, build supply chain, build factory tooling. Which means you need to produce a lot of cars on the same platform to reduce the fixed cost per car,

To date, other than the Chinese and Tesla, not a single automaker is producing even 100k EVs, and some of these have 2-3 platforms

And that is really the big issue, many of the established automakers just did a lot of talking but nothing to back up their talk. None of them put any serious effort to scaling EVs, they just kept them around to claim they did while focusing on their ICE cars. They didn't want EVs to be too successful

As for China, they had little established automakers to begin with and gladly jumped all in during the gap

i think theres some irony in this in that you choose an intel platform notorious for thermal inefficiency and throttling to do passive cooling on

Autonomes Fahren wird in China seit Jahren praktiziert und mit Erfahrungswerten optimiert, davon profitiert Tesla mehr als Mercedes. Die Privilegierung klassischer europäischer oder amerikanischer  Marken ist politisch motiviert, zum Nachteil der Verbraucher.

Warum baut Elon Musk seine Fabrik nicht im riesengrosssen Amerika?
Wollen wir wirklich, dass das Grundwasser verseucht wird, Beamte bestochen werden und jährlich ein Wasserverbrauch einer Kleinstadt auf unser Berliner Umland zukommt.
Von dem schädlichen Abfall der E-Autoproduktion und der Rodung riesiger Waldgebiete machen hier die Verantwortlichen die Augen 🙈 zu?
Hat das nichts mit Klimaschutz zu tun?
Wenn die Menschen krank werden durch das Grundwasser und der Grundwasserspiegel sinkt mit großem Ausmaß wird Elon Musk plötzlich verschwunden sein.

Xiaomi and related brands ie roborock, aqara are one of the only chinese companies that restrict the use of their products in the global market.

Not a huge problem that they want to sell their products for a bit more in the west... Western consumers probably have higher after sales service expectations...

But why do they have to restrict or delay availability for months up to a year for Western markets?

Freihandel predigen, um eigene Produkte aggressiv zu vermarkten und Protektionismus praktizieren, um die  Gewinne der eigenen Firmen zu schützen und zu maximieren, das war schon immer die Lebenslüge und die Betrugsmasche des freien Wertewestens inklusive seiner Agenturen Weltbank und IWF. Dummerweise haben sich aber die Rollen verändert, China ist Koch geworden und ist nicht mehr Kellner. Die Antwort Chinas wird nicht ausbleiben. Europäische Autos werden vom Weltmarkt verschwinden, besonders auch dem chinesischen, und in USA und Europa so teuer werden, dass niemand sie mehr zahlen kann. Der globalisierte Freihandel hat seine Logik,die nicht den neokolonialen Wünschen seiner Erfinder folgt.

Hey Siri, why are you now useless?

And what about Android TV's, what options are there. I've stopped watching YT on Android entirely, so fcuk you Google. You make billions just from advertising revenue and still it's never enough.

Leider zeigt mein Notebook(xmg neo 17 m22) nur noch bunte Balken an.
Wahrscheinlich ist der wandler zwischen Grafik Chip und Bildschirm defekt (sieht nicht wie der übliche grafikchip defekt aus).
Ist mittendrin beim spielen von battlefield v passiert und nach einem Neustart so geblieben.
Werde mich mal mit xmg austauschen um herauszufinden wie es jetzt weitergeht.
