  I don’t know if there are zero Renault in the US but Mozilla themselves say that Renault aren’t sold in the US:

  While Renault cars haven’t been sold in the US since 1992, their cars are big in Europe, South and Central America.

  So it is kind of strange to hold it against them. On the other hand that doesn’t seem to be too important because nobody cares about what they signed or not.

  Thank you for that link and Thank you to Mozilla for doing those tests. I always suspected something like this but it is good to have it tested and in writing.

  My only gripe with the article is this:

  All of the car brands on this list except for Tesla, Renault, and Dacia signed on to a list of Consumer Protection Principles from the US automotive industry group ALLIANCE FOR AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION, INC.

  Renault and Dacia aren’t available in the US, so there is really no need for them to sign those principles. Which makes Tesla the only one where this is relevant.

  Try https://code.org. It’s free and really well done with a low barrier of entry. There are different types of tasks for various ages.

  I use Nextcloud with Carnet. I haven’t used Keep in years so I don’t know the current features but when I made the switch to Carnet it was very comparable.

  On Nextcloud it is an app you install separately. For your phone you’ll find Carner on f-droid. Sadly there is no client for iOS. Link https://www.getcarnet.app/

  I got a laptop with a USB-C port which supports external monitors. Does anyone know what I would need to use my iPad Pro as a second monitor with this port? Or would I have to use the HDMI port with peripherals like in the link?
