Most comments so far are negative but not really saying why. What would be different compared to now in your country? Or is it just a dislike of the company Apple?

Officially, I'd have to pay 28€ per month for some pay tv subscription to watch it. The amount of races I can watch (time zones; other appointments) during the season is probably 15 out of the 22 in the calendar. So with 336€ for 12 months and 15 races, I'd have to pay 22.40€ for each race I'm watching. That is totally ridiculous, so I'm watching random free streams I can find somewhere on the internet. Or I'm simply not watching at all, if there is no free stream available.

I don't really see this getting worse with any other company or Apple. It could stay just as bad and I'm not paying anyone - or maybe get better.

It's most likely a strategic demand for finding a diplomatic solution in the middle at the end.

One side isn't really in favour of sending the cruise missiles and the other side strategically demands, what will most likely never be agreed upon. Then discussions, expert questioning, manufacturer feedback, analysis, more discussions... At the end everyone agrees somewhere in the middle. E.g. to send them, but the same way as France and the UK already did with reduced range and agreed countries to target.

I understand 'worst sales' but 'worst performance' doesn't really fit. It's in my opinion this is a fantastic performance on the market. With right to repair, longer software support, some models with replaceable batteries, we can use the phones longer and make the industry more sustainable and consumer friendly. For the last years already, the model feature upgrades were marginal and it's fine that way.

In the future, I'd hope for further technical and regulatory development in that direction, resulting in further reduced annual sales numbers.

This is article is not about a shareholder meeting though. It's naming the annual and quarterly financial presentations.

As per the 1st sentence of the article, it's less about being there but about asking questions:

Shell will no longer give press conferences when presenting its annual and quarterly results.

Journalists will be allowed to call in and listen but not ask questions

So even when supporting Shell and buying shares to attend, there won't be a press conference with questions and answers.

We could be watching the city Reni, Izmail or Kiliia getting attacked there, which are right across the Danube river from Romania. People in Romania can get as close as 300m to the explosions in Ukraine when standing on the other side of the river.

Grain is already transported via truck through the four eastern EU countries since the war started. But some of the bordering countries oppose the EU grain deal in an attempt to protect their farmers income. So it's complicated what's going on there.

The problem is the origin and forced labour.

Most of the cheap panels in storage are made in China, while the European manufacturer's cannot produce at the same price. China also uses Uyghur forced labour to get those low prices https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57124636

So making them cheaper is not really an option. But it could work the other way around by adding tariffs to Chinese panels or restrict imports if there is a connection to forced labour. The US already added tariffs to Chinese solar panels last year and expanded them https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/us-says-solar-imports-four-southeast-asian-countries-were-dodging-china-tariffs-2022-12-02/

Wow thanks for that picture.

In my head, I was always wondering about all the anti-air systems Ukraine has and how they could place them 'in front' of cities and well-known flight paths of cruise missiles.

But that map is destroying that little imagine in my head. The attacks come from all directions and nearly at the same time.

Seems to be a similar problem as Formula 1 had in India and therefore cancelled the Indian Grand Prix. So 1st and last MotoGP race in India?

"In August 2013, FIA announced that the Indian Grand Prix would miss the 2014 edition before returning to an early-season slot in 2015. Subsequently, due of a tax dispute with the Uttar Pradesh government, the 2015 edition was ruled out and its possible return delayed until 2016. However, no resolution was found and the grand prix has never been restored to the calendar." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Grand_Prix

"The first signs of a dispute arose in 2009: in a letter to the promoters JPSK Sports, the Indian Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports denied JPSK Sports permission to remit $36.5 million in licensing fees to Formula One administration headquarters in London. The reason given, by the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh - Akhilesh Yadav, was the nature of Formula One, considered not to be a sport but rather entertainment, and its perceived lack of impact on the development of sports in the country.[20] Customs fees for imported components including engines and tyres were not waived, and tax exemptions given to other sports were not offered to the organisers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddh_International_Circuit#Tax_dispute

Yes the 5 Elders rank highest.

Oda was showing this chart at least twice in the manga already and now on page 2 Vegapunk says "No one on the island has a higher command authority status than us". So he is clearly in the dark about the current situation who else is there. In the last panel, after Atlas gives new orders to the Seraphim, having the angry face of Saturn, makes it clear that he must be stepping on the stage in the next few chapters.

Once the Seraphims don't follow orders any more, there must be some confusion first. But 'Apple Gramps' is quite a smart guy, so I'm sure he will figure it out who else must be nearby or on the island for a big news reveal to the Strawhat crew. Maybe Vegapunk even gives some information he has about the 5 Elders, once they know there must be one of them on Egghead.

The old Hue app still works and I'm also using Hue Essentials, both without any account.

I have a Hue bridge of the 1st generation and a few years ago, the original app was showing pop-ups, that I need to get a new bridge because of the new app that will no longer support my old bridge. So I just kept the old app and the old bridge. Works like a charm all offline.

When I added a motion detector two years ago, the old app didn't find it for setup. That's when I tested the alternative app Hue Essentials and it works just fine offline.
