Re: That was my thought, too.

Again, missing quote of zelensky stating that Ukraine should be a nuclear power? Examining a treaty doeas not equal with becoming a nuclear power.

kat_bg

Re: That was my thought, too.

That is collection of bullshit of epic proportion that mirrors the russian propaganda spewed by countless knobs on the internet. Who was rattlling sabres? Zelensky? Maybe Ukraine wad war exercises with 200000+ men near the russian border and not the russians near the Ukrainian border.

What nulear ambition? Ukraine transferred the nuclear weapons it ingerited from USSR to Russia in exchange to a treaty that was "guaranteein"it's safety. Guess who broke that treaty? Russia!

Most likely the management got a fat bonus for executing the headcount/cost reduction...

Apple's quest for modem independence from Qualcomm is going nowhere fast

kat_bg

Re: iGundam

I think you oversimplify the matter. Yes, Apple licensed the Arm instruction set but the M line of processors has nothing to do with the Arm reference design.

As for money, Apple has the cash to buy outright Qualcomm but the authorities will probably not allow such deal to go through. They will simply throw money at the problem till they will solve the issue.

'Recession-resilient' Tesla misses Q3 expectations, slows Mexico expansion

Why to borrow from ECB? There are enough banks in Europe. Central Bank is not specialized in consumer financing. I am pretty sure that GM, FORD and Stellantis managed to offer financing, withut borrowing from FED

Re: coccyx-centered comforts in cold climes

Nigel Farage is a wanker which had no problem cashing in his paycheck from the European Parliament on one side and spewing a lot of bullshit and disinformation on the other side. Private entities have the possibility to choose their own customers. Nobody says that you must bank with X Bank of Y bank as a right.

Re: Sony

Yet, they can buy rival gaming houses, that incidentally provide exclusives for PS but not for Xbox?

Well, i would say that FoxNews, while owned by a billionaire in in now way left biased. But, regardless, any billionaire owned media is bad

New York City latest to sue Hyundai and Kia claiming their cars are too easy to steal

kat_bg

More correct, for US, that is a republican view... Liberals in Europe are situated on the right side of the political spectrum.

kat_bg

Re: The only option is....

Have you read the article? Hyundai/Kia used the said immobilizers in other markets, except US. So I guess they make enough profit if they do not leave those markets.

Dyson moans about state of UK science and tech, forgets to suck up his own mess

kat_bg

Actually it does. Try importing equipment from China and use the respective logo without the proper documentation... Customs will have a field day with your money

kat_bg

Re: With two-faced "friends" like Dyson, Britain doesn't need enemies

except it didn't. If you have read the documents you were citing, you would of seen that the respective proposal are not direct tax on thee EU citizens. I live in an EU country and there is no federal tax or whatever you call it that it is paid or applied to either the citizens of business transactions between member countries... Try again

Mars Helicopter completes 50th flight, 45 more than NASA planned

Re: Joining the dots

Dude, for not a fan of China, for sure you got to any length to defend them

kat_bg

Re: Peak China?

China was aiding Vietnam? I think you may have to check the history books... URSS came to the aid of Vietnam while China has managed to invade Vietnam in 1979(see the SinoV-Vietnamese war of 1979-1981). If you check, US and Vietnam have normal relations and Vietnam is the biggest benefactor of US companies seeking alternatives to China sourcing...

Elon Musk yearns for AI devs to build 'anti-woke' rival ChatGPT bot

Re: What happens when we disagree with OpenAI?

Well, so far all Trump's complaints have been thrown out of courts for being without merit... As for going for popular vote and giving up on the Electoral college system would be a step ahead, but one which will not be introduced in the near future as the right wing is afraid of the popular vote (keep in mind that Hillary lost despite winning the popular vote)...

Re: World's first AI government adviser in Romania

Yes, and the first thing the so called AI adviser was to steal a photo from a local council presentation and to insert it into a government text...

Re: So much for "Brexit freedoms" eh ?

YOu had no clue how EU was set-up or working, There was no faceless bureaucrat deciding. Each country has its representatives. True, in the case of UK was Nigel Farage between them so, of course, had no clue or say in what was done in brussels, except collecting the nice pay that goes along being a EU parliamentary.

Musk says spat with Apple over App Store ejection threat for Twitter was 'misunderstanding'
