It is much better. US car brands look like they are stuck in the 90s. Still, I don't get the preoccupation from the US, almost all cars in Mexico have been from Asia for at least a decade or maybe more. And before that it was all Volkswagen.
I'm learning Kotlin and Android Studio and for that I'm developing a very simple CRUD App. I used sonet 3.5 and was impressed when it developed the XML file, mainactivity, added internet access permits and wrote the restful API in PHP for XAMPP. It compiled at the first try, but for the life of me I can't find why the restful API keeps returning a 405 error. And I'm a seasoned programmer in C, C++, phyton and XAMPP! It was, at the same time, impressive and extremely frustrating.
I had a Samsung dishwasher that I dumped after just 4 years because it kept breaking every 6 to 12 months. I also have a fridge that is 8 years old that cost me an arm and a leg from Samsung and I need to keep fixing it every couple of years and have given up on fixing the ice maker. Also just dispossessed of a washing machine last month from, you guessed, Samsung because the mother board fried and they don't sell it anymore, it was 6 years old. I still have a curved LED 85" TV that some how broke in the corner, for fucks sake, it's made of aluminum! Not only that, the smart TV menus are infected with ads everywhere. Why the hell did that happen? It was a very expensive TV when I bought it. I have a few Hisense TVs and they last years and are ridiculously cheap. Samsung has a beautiful design but all their products are just plain crap with planned obsolescence. Never again will I buy a Samsung home appliance.
No, but I have seen absolutely impressive Huawei and Xiaomi Android phones.
Yes, Just like those awful iphones they also make.
I don't trust them since the rootkit they installed, without my consent, on my computer when playing a music CD decades ago!
American Cars look like relics from the last century when compared to Chinese design and capabilities, that is why the American car companies do not want Chinese brands in their market because there is no way they can compete with them.
Chinese brands just arrived in Mexico and it has been a massacre for american and European brands, a lot of car dealers have been closing lately and you can see in the streets that most new cars are Chinese. The Chinese dealers have impeccable service and the architecture is impressive. Prices are 1/3 of the European cars and 1/2 of the American Cars. The only ones that might be able to compete are japanese and Korean car companies.
While this is possible for a couple of years, it is definitely not sustainable in the middle term. If that was true, then Ericsson and Blackberry would still have the biggest market cap in smartphones and GM, Ford and Chrysler would be the biggest car companies in the world.
Capitalism. You need money to feed kids. People are having less kids mainly because today having a kid is too expensive.
That's ridiculous. SF is not car free at all!
I just can't understand defending monopolies. The question here is not what is right for apple or epic, it's what is the best outcome for the human customer.
They didn't do a bad job. The problem is that they were a bunch of fucking pussies!
Life begins at conception or it doesn't. There is no IVF without murder if life begins at conception.
If you live in the US probably not.
It's right in the center of the screen! There is no way not to look at it.
I also like to play woman characters in games, tomb raider being my favorite one. And it's because I don't like to watch a guy's ass the whole time! I'm playing Cyberpunk right now and I chose a female character for exactly the same reason.
-Stop eating for a week -I can't, it feels awful! -You have an addiction
It looks like in America everything is thought around survival. A car here is so expensive that it must be as risk free as possible.
Well, I don't understand why it makes them uncomfortable. If I'm on the loop about a friend or a family member that is looking for a job then I can help them if I know of an opportunity. Telling someone you haven't found a job should be something good that opens doors for you. But good to know. I just don't understand why it has become so incredibly important to avoid being uncomfortable.
