Telecinco Noticias were reporting that.

Spanish news media reporting 6 ton10 hours to fully restore power to all regions.

Also still investigating the cause but suspicion falling on a cyber attack.

Antena3 News If you can read Spanish this is informative but also has videos of various impacts.

VAT is applied to all goods irrelevant of origination. Think of it as a federal sales tax instead of a state sales tax.

There are different rates dependent on the goods and some items are VAT free (again this has nothing to do with origin but to do with the product} i.e. I’m fairly sure that in UK children’s clothes are either exempt or VAt at a lower rate.

Sadly voting didn’t fail you. US is in the same predicament UK was in after Brexit. Complacency at the expected outcome, a belief that some people couldn’t be so stupid as to vote for Trump/Brexit and yet, they did in the majority.

Regardless of how fucked up the election process is, inany countries I’m not singling out the US, that is the reason that you feel failed, look at your countrymen that swallowed the snake oil and ask the question why?

5th Nov 2024 - was the chance to prevent this. Trump’s team made it clear on the direction they were heading and no-one heeded the warnings. 35% didn’t vote and the majority of those that did voted for him, which either means they agree with the direction or were deluded into thinking it wasn’t going to happen.

I’m all for protest but I don’t think you have a chance of changing anything, he owns the legislature and the voting public allowed it to happend.

I’m not American or a resident of US but that’s just my opinion as an outsider.

Huawei runs it’s own branch of Android since it lost its ability to offer Google services.

In the case you’re not paying for “Android” but for the tech, whatever you think about it it’s a tech that no-one else is yet doing, least of all Apple which in real terms is still playing catch-up with Android and it’s insistance of a walled garden .

The only saving grace with Samsung washing machine was it had two years of warranty and after about the 6th repair in just over 14 months the retailer swapped ot for another brand.

Typing this on a S24 Ultra and have numerous tvs but will shy away from any elctro domestics in the future.

Can someone from the US explain , like I’m a 2 year old, how it is possible to pass a piece of legislation as part of a completely unrelated piece?

I.e. If they wanted to not block TikTok would they have had to block the whole bill from passing , so no aid?

We had Latitude 7480s which also didn’t support Windows 11.

I purchased my old one for a steal and it’s now running fedora quite happily.

One businesses loss has been my gain.

One of the many reasons I won’t buy Samsung.

What would be good is if you could have a fediverse LDAP like login so you can use your login on any fediverse account and all your post etc link back to that single ID.

Thanks for this. I’m on android 14 on Pixel 7 and had no idea you could pin items in the share tray.

Now I’ve been able to pin my two most frequently shared contacts and my most two used apps.

Your pain has been my gain so thanks but sorry.

I’m not quite sure why, but I would feel somewhat uncomfortable swiping against a phone.

How can you be 100% sure it’s not being used to clone your card details.

It’s a completely illogical way of thinking because it happens with normal POS machines anyway so I truly can’t explain my irrationality.

Great more extensions, but still no tabbed mode for tablets and larger screen devices… /s

I agree, on the phone it’s a great app.

My problem is that as I only use tablet and phone it doesn’t make sense to use two different browsers so until it’s changed Vivaldi it is.

IF FF ever implement support for tabs on tablets I might consider using it.

I only use phone and tablet and to use a glorified phone app on a tablet is not a great experience. Almost every other browser in existence supports tags for larger screens.

Until FF fixes this it doesn’t matter how many extensions they allow in the browser I’m out.

I use DNS ad/tracker blocking on android.

I use either libredns or MullvadDNS

This is why I use Smartube on my android TV and revanced/NewPipe on my phone.

The few times I’ve witnessed naked YouTube it’s made be realise that if any of the sources mentioned stop working then I’m simply not going to use YouTube.
