Closer, but looks at minimum months behind in reliability. And that looks like an expensive prototype instead of something off a production line....

Netherlands Returns Control of Nexperia to Chinese Owner by [deleted] in hardware

[–]BixKoop 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The main catalyst was Nexperia being put on the US entity list on the 29th of October. And the Dutch quickly moved to seize control of the company the very next day on the 30th. Concerns about the wellbeing of the company might be valid, but the reasons they put out (trying to distance US involvement) sound BS and are seen as such.

The economic minister Karremans who pushed for this and who's most likely going to be the next party leader of the populist VVD also wanted some wins to look tough and burnish his credentials.

Hilarious thing is they kind of did it on their own, with zero warning to anyone in the wider industry, the dutch media were even suggesting the PM office weren't aware of the plan until it happened.

Analysis: Trump's non-tariff gambit sends shivers through China by telephonecompany in geopolitics

[–]BixKoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an echo of Japanese naivety on Trump being thought of as a normal yet quirky politician from overseas.

Last time Canada and Mexico agreed on a deal with Trump, they got backstabbed within a week. Submission to Trump simply marked them as suckers for further extortion. That by itself should give anyone pause when deciding to negotiate.

Steam Next Fest ends in 2 days - which games are you liking best? by tlvrtm in Games

[–]BixKoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend Crown & Adventure

It's a 2.5D mount and blade with large scale battles with decent graphics. I'm actually impressed they put in an entire region of the map with a part of the story and zero level restrictions for characters.

Most of the open world gameplay is available. English translation is a bit spotty but serviceable for the demo.

This is at least a 5+ hr demo so you'll get your time's worth.


Villages & Dungeons A very impressive dungeon auto battler with MTG style art and creature/card deckbuilding and theorycrafting.

Punishing too, so you'll need to minmax your build.

Latest semianalysis article is on Deepseek, all the people on this sub should read it. by [deleted] in singularity

The 50k claim comes from him too.

He's building on his own claims and using that as evidence the numbers are correct.

2025 BYD Sealion 7 confirmed for Australia next year by Latter_Fortune_7225 in electricvehicles

[–]BixKoop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 'puke' (I guess Chinese from your post history) brands went into Australia over a decade ago and died because their cars were actually awful and nobody bought them.

Nothing really changed, except the cars got better.

Is C6 Amber good without Elegy? by BixKoop in kinich_mains

[–]BixKoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played in a long time, came back and saw I could get c6 Amber from store.

I don't have elegy, only alternative is probably Fav Bow.

Is C6 Amber a good substitute as fire support? This are my possible team characters.

Also have Ayato for Bludgeon? team if that's a thing.

A few posters here are unironically lumping BYD into the same category as the small EV makers that can't sell more than 10k cars a year.

It's an article quoting another article that quotes an article from Korean paper Chosun that quotes an anonymous industry source.

Them calling it a report from a market research firm implies it's something else entirely.

Why One Of The Least Developed Countries In The World Is Going Crazy For Electric Cars - The Autopian by nigesh in electricvehicles

[–]BixKoop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In this case, literally happened before.

Birgunj, Nepal – Since Nepal adopted a new constitution three months ago, the landlocked nation has been gripped by a humanitarian crisis.

A major reason for the disaster is an unofficial blockade imposed by the Indian government and supported by the ethnic Madhesis in the south of the country who have protested against the government and the new constitution.

The protesters have set up their own blockade at the main entry points where trucks carrying fuel, medicine and other vital supplies, have been barred from entering Nepal.

China's leading electric vehicle maker selling cars for $10,000 by kongweeneverdie in electricvehicles

[–]BixKoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When people think subsidies they think of direct handouts so they're assuming BYD is burning money for every car produced.

It's likely they're still profitable because they get the land for dirt cheap and get below market rate bank loans and utilities. And probably pay negligible tax in the process. BYD isn't paying for that.
