Would be amazing. At the moment I don't know of a single brand opening up batteries to fix them. They all consider them a single replaceable component/module even though inside that's far from the case.

...if nothing goes wrong with anything in the system.

Don't get me wrong, I like EVs but there is always a risk that a single cell in the pack dies or a transistor on a BMS explodes and no one want to have anything to do with it. They will sell you a full pack which is usually so expensive it totals the car. This is a pretty shitty risk dangling over second hand vehicles especially.

This being unsustainable has been a discussion point for years at this point and yet they keep on fighting while it feels like western society is slowly collapsing.

I think calling it fear mongering against EVs is right in the sense that it's not exclusive to EVs. All cars have cameras, microphones and sensors these days and are connected, so legislation should deal with that properly.

I don't understand the downvotes you got. The same people will complain when a profit driven reddit alternative springs up to take the mainstream while Lemmy remains niche because they wanted a kind of exclusive club. Being unfriendly to the user is a recipe for failure.

On the flip side, the biggest forum on the internet being shared, distributed and owned by its' users would be an incredible win.

Even the integrated windows Notepad does this now.

I was always under the impression that parodontax and sensodine are for treating something or other based on their marketing.

I use Kemphor by Verkos Laboratories an independent Spanish company and Ohlala by Ohlala Laboratories Paris, a France based business as the name suggests. I ended up using them because they both have toothpaste containing Xylitol, an ingredient that helps in killing bacteria, something that the megacorp brands obviously don't care about.

Then how are sooo many millions of people supporting him even now.

Wait, Romania is EU's only "hybrid regime" but Hungary isn't?

What you are talking about is kipferl which is definitely Austrian. But someone took that and made it into something new using yeast-leavened laminated dough, called it croissant, and where they did that was 100% in Paris, France. There is no doubt about it because it happened recently enough. They are absolutely not the same end product and I would be outraged if someone served me half-moon shaped bread roll, which is what the Austrian thing is, while trying to pass it off as a croissant.

The origin sure, as much as bread's origin is in wheat. Croissant as you know it is French, from Paris specifically. Not that I condone them having some kind of veto on how people get to use this invention now.

I find Gemini has better communication and comprehension ability compared with assistant, but can do even less when it comes to controlling the phone. No reminders, no calendar events, no messages, no integration with anything. Just talking.

I would have preferred assistant talk and understand better, instead of a completly gimped alternative that does that and nothing more.
