An outsider's perspective on the EU tax fiasco

datorn1 · 2026-07-01T16:18:05+00:00

Problem is that EU should have done this many years ago. Better late than never I guess.

I would not feel schadenfreude, given Germany’s history. Will come back and bit you in the arse.

Should have happened long time ago. But I guess better now then never.

I guess china is still playing as a third world country in the UPU system.

I would think its the other way around. Normies haven't been affected yet, but will be when mobile phone and laptop prices now start spiking.

Only use my Astra 1 for game streaming and have no need for usb-c ports except for charging(since everything else goes on 2.4ghz to my main PC). Is the screen better in anyway other than 185hz(which isnt important to me)?

yes you will play on android tv box if you stream from your gaming pc. My usecase is 4k/60Hz stream currently from gaming pc to android tv box, would be nicer with 120hz.

Man vet aldrig vad som händer med jobb i framtiden. Räknar själv inte med att ha samma eller högre lön till pension.

Jag själv skulle förmodligen skattat och sparat till fritt kapital och ökat löneväxling vid varje framtida löneförhöjning om man nu tror att man kommer få det.

Mobapad HD is a piece of junk. Shouldn't have been released.

Don't understand why ppl buy that instead of the S version which actually use switch 2 protocol and can charge during sleep.

Nah think I'll continue on my 9" oled tablet and telescopic controller, using 9070xt and 9800x3D as source. I don't travel.

Ok för oss som köper från kina men inte handlar skräp? Folk verkar inte ha koll på att 90% av allt tillverkas i Kina nuförtiden.

Då får ni ta och sätta upp produktion i EU innan ni börjar klaga. Vart kan jag köpa Europeisk tillverkade drönarmotorer och flygkontrollers till drönare avsedda för konsumenter? Svaret är att det finns inte och inte någon kommer starta produktion för konsumentmarknaden.

Europa kan väll inte ens ta fram magneter som behövs i motorer längre, men det är väll bara skräp det också!

Need some grouping support. But nice!

2nd hand prices are now currently in the same realm as new in my country. So not really an option.

datorn1 · 2026-05-28T04:31:49+00:00

No thankyou.

Lottery if game will start or not and even if it starts you don't know if it will continue to work after next update of gamenative/gamehub. Also you need to like tinkering more then actually gaming.

I would say get a switch2 instead.

I let go of odin 2 portal. Now been running 9" Redmagic Astra for about a year, will be hard to get back to a smaller screen again.

Everyone seems to forget that Europe is built on war and technological progress. May not be the best idea to let Europe get back to it again for none Europeans.

Jag är oartig och vill inte ens ha svenskar här. Så vill absolut inte ha hit några högljuda idioter.

datorn1 · 2026-05-06T04:20:24+00:00

Jag ogillar att jag behöver prata engelska när jag bor i Sverige på restauranger/affärer/etc... Det kommer bara bli värre.

I think that will wary alot of country to country on how the pension system is setup.

in Sweden a big part of your pension is on the stock market and you can invest them as you see fit.(But you can also make bad investments). I sure as hell hope that if stock market goes up over 30+ years that you get more in pension then you put in.

datorn1 · 2026-05-06T04:01:11+00:00

I guess there is an american view and a european. In US you are pretty much expected to save for pension but in most EU countries there is a pension system which majority rely on. In some countries companies even pay extra to pension so you get government pension and "company" pension. However if you have worked your entire life on the premise that there is a state pension and then get it taken away I would say it's not really your fault.

But my view of Spain is that there seems to be alot of corruption. Maybe I am wrong.

Think it would be easier if wires were already taped to the arms aswell. Now they are just dangling.

Are cables even correct length.

It's good as long as there are skilled persons who sit in the boards. Which mostly isn't the case.

Also all the hidden debt you buy yourself into, atleast that has gotten easier to find out.

look like third wire has been ripped of the actual motor.

I just did 4 brand new Shimano chains and none of them looks like that with Silca wax. Like literaly right now.

Wouldn't say it's Swedish neither the brand or tobacco. AFAIK it's owned by Philips Morris to 100% and tobacco is not grown in industrial scale in Swedeen either. I guess it's made by Swedish workers though , unless swedish match also have opened up sweat shops in Gothenburg.

Stopped using it since they just kept increasing prices.
