It depends by the size (smaller is less taxed), but the law is old and it's exempt only if under 1gb

70s? My government the private for-profit corporation tasked by my government to manage copyrights, every year still steals from everyone millions of euro "because that phone can be used to watch pirated content"

We pay 7 euro on each smartphone, 7.50 on each USB drive, up to 18 euro on each internal drive (sata or name, but under 160gb is free) and products are castrated with regional firmware because if it's just a TV then it's 4 euro tax, but if it allows recording it's the 5% of MSRP

So it will censor stuff as requested by governments

I think it is extremely hard because they are served from the same servers (technically, ads are YouTube videos)

And if the logic on the client isn't removed, it will hang waiting for the ad

Android, option 3 (Better): newpipe from fdroid. 0% algorithmic feed, exclusively show who you're following, in chronological order

It is a serious problem when it's not possible to know if a screenshot of a "truth" is actually true or it has been faked

It is very expensive for their pride.

Those billionaires don't actually have the money ready in cash, just a tiny part of that is liquid, everything is in stocks. They are getting paid in stocks from their company. Why? Because until you're selling the stocks, for the government you don't have a revenue to tax. Suppose this year you get a salary of $100 billion in stocks. If you convert in cash only $100k, then the tax owed that year is minuscule. Those assholes have teams dedicated to minimize the amount of taxes owed. It is why he didn't use his money to buy xitter but used his stock and "genius CEO" fame as a collateral to persuade banks and other arab investors to lend the money for him (and hold the bag if it sank)

So in order to donate that quarter of a billion he had to liquidate stocks and pay taxes on that. Ouch, so so much painful for a billionaire. For them paying taxes is like being robbed. So, it's more like paying $20k for you

I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

When phones were made of plastic, yes

Like the Google Nexus 5X (with a vinyl on the back because they chose the shittiest rubbery coating that get sticky with permanent fingerprints)

Almost a century ago, the fascist dictator of Spain wanted to appease Hitler and decided to move the timezone from the UK one to the German one. With daylight savings the situation in summer was a bit ridiculous: dark until 9 am and sun until 10 pm, it was very confusing as a tourist to have all the stores to open so late in morning and go out to eat dinner so late

I can't imagine what kind of mess would be going to Japan as a tourist on UTC+0

I don't think so. You don't buy the us presidency for hundreds of millions just to give up after a few months. He'll just pretend to work at Tesla while actually continuing be the president

The headline seems to imply that the real news is that the "Obese woman" has FIVE lovers

Bombing hospitals and use civilians as human shield is also illegal under international law

Yes that's why is bullshit

Satel (Poland)

Problem is that it had bidens sign on it, so he was forced to kill it without even taking care of its contents

Well, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?

They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we'll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes

With all the best doctors the presidents have, they discover it only at the fourth stage?

I'm a lowly peasant and my work let me do a yearly blood+pee test, I assumed that for presidents it would be something like a weekly checkup

The chatgpt one is bad as is a completely different dinosaur

Weird, considering how many memes they stole

Trakt raises the VIP subscription to $60/year? Are they crazy? They really think that a service that simply tracks what movies you watch is worth that price?

There are streaming subscriptions cheaper than that
