What exactly would prevent people from paying in actual currencies? Crypto is in no way a requirement for a YT replacement whatsoever.

It was pulled from voting a second time, it will undoubtedly return for another round.

But like I said, I believe global revenue is a better measure for global corporations when it comes to how large fines should be. They have to be large enough to make these companies proactive and not just reactive. 10% of their global revenue is almost 50% of their income, now that is going to make a difference.

No it may not be, but it's one company and I believe they should be fines based on their global revenue, just like the EU fines alphabet, meta and apple. If a fine doesn't hurt in their global financial picture, they don't give a shit.

In a globally spanning company, it doesn't make sense to separate it in to different markets like that when it comes to fines for breaking the law IMO. If the same practice that caused this to happen in Norway is profitable elsewhere, nothing is going to change and the Norwegian "mishap" is just cost of doing business.

I bought a couple of 12tb "used" drives from servershop24.de, thay all had less than 150h of runtime.

Yeah fines for corporations should really be a percentage of yearly revenue, ideally no less than 10%. The current system is ridiculously outdated and has no impact whatsoever.

Yes you've seen a few...they don't have hundreds of thousands of them that have driven for several years yet. It's a brand new platform, so it is definitely considered new and untested. Luckily Hyundai has a good track record for making cars in general, and they have BEV experience from the original Ioniq, which is still one of the most efficient BEVs on the market (although range and charge speeds lack severely on those), and the Ioniq 5 so that should work in their favour. Let's hope they learned a lot from their shitty release of the Ioniq 5 which had an unbelievable amount of SW issues, especially related to battery management.

Exactly... I find it quite interesting how some perceive the theme of the comic as depressing while others find it beautiful.

Huh, I seem to be getting something way different from this comic than most people here...

I'm seing knowledge being transferred, and as the number of sources and amount of information increases, it gets harder to figure out how everything interconnects and how it all fits together. But as you get older, you get more experience and start to see how things fit together and the world makes more sense. In the end the jumbled information you've received through your life makes more sense to you, and you transfer the new sum of information on to someone.
