Like the far right in my country before the elections "We have the solution to fix the economy, vote for us" - without of course saying what they're going to do.
Unfortunately, majority of people believed them
Populism works, people like to vote for someone that says what they want to listen even if it's obvious that they're not going to do that
But it's not true. The threshold now is 0€, everything needs to pay vat since one year ago. Over 150€ it just can't do the automatic ioss vat payment
? under 150 euro the VAT is already automatically collected via IOSS, or it would be held at customs even if it's declared as gift with 0€ value.
omg i cannot state how much i hate the widgets bar, it's like they designed it on purpose to show ads&clickbait
Google dialer?
Ad free, not slow, but collecting all possible data on your calls.
I like that it's blocking the spam calls, I get 10 spam calls for each real call. Unfortunately that needs to send back to them all my phone calls with their caller id.
I hate how it shows the call log. It only shows the latest action ever for a number and doesn't even show the time. This is especially infuriating when you need to see what time someone called. For example my doctor office called to move my appointment, then when I showed up they said that wasn't true and wanted to charged me for a no-show. I wasn't able to prove immediately that they called me on which day and at which time to move the appointment because the "simplified" call log only shows the latest call action which was that I called back several days after that.
Sure but we all know that 99% of people don't change defaults.
Also, waiting for those updates that "accidentally" revert to the default
It changed my setting from disabled to enabled after the update
i have the feeling that a feature like this makes a very little money that compared to the millions that google gives to be the default is a drop in the ocean
probably this won't be enough to even pay the CEO salary
I don't understand what macron was thinking. If they got this result 3 weeks ago, rushing new elections with no time for an extended electoral campaign was going to get the same results, no?
Both on mobile and desktop there's a "login wall" but it can be dismissed by pressing on the X.
Still, it's a dark pattern that I don't like, tomorrow at work we will discuss alternatives as we subscribed (one single account shared between everyone) just for sending attachments with filelink using thunderbird - and with a "login wall" it no longer fits the purpose
Shared from a paid account or from a free account?
If shared from paid account, then tomorrow I'm going to cancel our company account as this is unacceptable, we use that for sharing files in emails (we tried to use a self hosted nextcloud but customers are too dumb to figure out how to press the download button)
(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)
For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.
It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.
All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.
Mi si è spaccato il radiatore sul mio mezzo di trasporto privato, quindi sono andato a vedere tra i concessionari qualcosa di economico, considerando di rottamare il mio.
Avevo visto la pubblicità della panda che costa 9700 euro nuova. (Comunque ingannevole perché mostra una foto della panda cross full optional che costa quasi il doppio)
Dice il concessionario, no quel prezzo non esiste , la panda viene 16mila euro poi noi facciamo un bello sconto di 3000. Bello! Lo sconto di 3000 in realtà però lo mette lo stato...
Ho chiesto se c'era qualcosa di usato. Dice no, tutto l'usato costa più del nuovo. E mi ha portato a vedere tutte le panda usate che ha nel parcheggio col prezzo sul parabrezza. Tutte ex noleggio, 14000 se pagate in contanti o 12500 se pagate con la loro formula "96 rate + 3 anni di super Kasko" che te la farà pagare 25mila. Ehi ma due tagliandi sono in regalo! Certo perché ha senso fare i tagliandi su un'auto fuori garanzia (olio e filtri comunque te li fanno pagare)
Alla fine mi mostra la panda usata più economica che ha. (Quella in foto iniziale) Me la venderebbe a quasi 1000 euro in più di quanto sarebbe costata nuova, con 8 anni e 70mila km in più.
Sono andato via con un "ci penso" e sono andato da un altro concessionario. Stessa storia stessi prezzi
Non riesco proprio a capire la logica di questi prezzi - c'è qualcuno che compra mezzi di trasporto pagandoli così? O è "scacchi 4d" per cercare di dirottare l'acquirente a comprare un "salotto su ruote" in leasing "visto che costa poco più al mese". La panda usata in 96 rate con Taeg 8% ha una rata simile a un SUV...
Anche per questo Summer days qualcuno su xiaohongshu (un clone di reddit+Twitter cinese) ha postato il leak delle promozioni
Il numero prima di 🈷️ indica il mese, poi c'è il giorno
Ah i get it. But that tax is minimal and applies on specific hs codes. Like "additional 10% on polyester fabric shirts manufactured in that specific country"
I assumed it was applied it anyway together with the vat, it's technically possible during the ioss declaration. Maybe it's difficult to calculate for small stuff as especially clothing do the tour of the world, manufactured in Bangladesh, labeled in turkey, sent back to china for logistics
At least now everything is taxed at ~20% and china post seems stopped abusing the postal service by canceling their package service to Europe (source for that, a month ago I personally tried to send a package to myself from a Chinese post office, they said they don't do that anymore, had to fit the stuff in the luggage) so now Alibaba and similar they ship a big container to Europe with combined orders and then use local shipping
How the us is doing by having the threshold so high is insane, leaving door open to abuse. It might made sense until the 80s when international trade was limited to big imports and there was no e-commerce. In my country every single package would declare a value of 799 and nobody would pay a dime lol
