Considering the typical ebay listing, price is payment to be received. Shipping and tarrifs are extra to “weird jurisdictions”. I get that OP is willing to offer artist/collector $70, but the seller wants that $70, and shipping somewhere human is preferred. The chaos of US policy is that they are telling all foreign countries to collect tariffs for them, which is not at all how customs/tariffs have ever worked globally ever before. US’s fucking job to collect tariffs. No one is complying with absurdity.

It’s quite the songwriting feat. (Joni Mitchel, but CSNY great interpretation with gospel Organ part)
“And we got to get ourselves, back to the garden”
unifies gospel of bible and humanism. The 60s, being a period of extreme oppression of US men with draft for US empire domino absurdities, had many “principled songs”. This is the best one, not just specifically anti-war. Woodstock as a “principled humanist” gathering gained significance from this song.

I’ll spend $70. I’m not about to spend $70 and the artist get half of it.
You’re spending too much time listening to Trump/media apologists for Trump. The America hating foreigners don’t pay the tariffs. If the artist you are giving $70 to, is shipping from a country with 25% tariffs, then US Customs, if foreign Post office did not collect US tariffs (all of them are refusing), or disagrees with the value/amount collected, then they will add anywhere between 25% of the missing value or $200 (tariffs on $800 value as penalty for not complying with US law), and YOU NEED TO PAY to collect the package.
Artist got the $70. They won’t ship if they have to pay the tariffs. You pay the tariffs if they don’t.

This is an android 16 feature, scheduled for sept 2026 “prerelease” and 2027 rollout. I expect/hope some phones will have a setting to disable “the security”. If not, there is great opportunty for high end hardware linux first phones, with good android emulation software.

a18pro beats M3 max in single core. Compared to 7840hs, it has 40% high single score geekbench 6, though 50% less multicore. Even beats ai395max at single score. Android competition catches up to even in gaming/gpu, but single core/responsiveness is still light years ahead. a19 next month, likely. M3 ultra has competitive aspects to xeon and epyc. Apple definitely has a lead on arm implementations.

2026 will be the year of the Linux phone!
or 2027. Or some Chinese variant of android on Chinese/Taiwan phone that allows sideloading, perhaps with alternate playstore and maps. I don’t yet understand how draconian this actually gets implemented, but death of android/google (to me) is possible.

Can you just refuse to upgrade your 2021 or previous (nothing on their device list applies to models released after 2021) to not be affected by this policy change? I have never noticed a useful feature in android version upgrades for quite a while now.

Apple hardware has always been a generation ahead. Even when android/qualcom catches up, next generation is out already. The reason to avoid apple was it being a closed system money grab.

does this control happen with a specific android version release? what number? Can I get a new phone with that version and sideload an alternative OS/ROM?
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 week ago:
they could end the war overnight if they chose to? Instead they want to escalate.
In your propaganda world, Russia is always the side escalating. Russia is the side that wants peace. Ukraine is the side that wants to embezzle aid to the last Ukrainian, and are the actual side that escalates, and calls Russia’s retaliation an escalation. Just pure propaganda recitement, that comes from media that wants this war to continue. Pretending you might not be a hateful nazi supporter for a moment, you should question your trust in that media. War is not good for the simpletons.
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 week ago:
US, with NATO support after the fact, is 100% responsible for Ukrainian war that it 100% wanted. Ukrainian puppet nazis being able to motivate/bussify, to the last Ukrainian, their citizens to the front line, is a gift to US demonic ambitions to diminish Russia. Russia is/was 100% forced to defend itself. It is only side that has ever offered the same 100% reasonable conditions to avoid and end the war. All claims of Russian provocation of war is pure demonic evil.
OP NATOid pig vermin, is just usual NATOid, genuinely unnacceptable traitorous subjugation of their nations, propaganda reinforcing their core demonic evil and lies: “Anyone who expresses a point that would favour ending the war is the propagandized traitor”. Anyone not a moron, even if hateful Russophobe, would want the war to end, because Russia is only getting stronger from the war. It has passed Japan and Germany as the 4th larger PPP GDP, and has achieved massive miltary production growth with output that exceeds all of NATO in most important areas, at 1/20th the budget. The longer corrupt demonic evil rules over us to funnel every last dime we have to expensive US weapons industry, the further we will fall behind.
Let’s assume this lying Portugese pig fucking warmongering traitor to humanity believes the headline. The answer is kick the US out of NATO, and declare war on them too, or at least put the same sanctions as on Russia. Not taking that stance is simple ultimate confirmation that he, like every NATO politician allowed to exist, is a CIA stooge hoping CIA/NATO (US leadership thereof) has control over Trump. All of the demonic NATO pathethic loser rulers who appeal to their CIA masters hoping to influence Trump, aren’t going to get any relief or kept promises from CIA, the more sycophantic they are to US empire. CIA feedback to Trump will be more like “Great job, we got these losers to pay us 5% of GDP. Now force them to up it to 10%”
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 week ago:
The Ukraine and Georgia wars on Russia were entirely US manipulated. The NATO rhetoric of forever needing to diminish Russia, out of demonic evil supremacist principle, simply escapes the cognitive capacity of a collective idiocracy. That propaganda makes people not question demonic NATO membership, doesn’t mean that programing isn’t involved in your so called “own volition” acceptance of demonism, and doesn’t make those imposing your acceptance not corrupt and evil demonic lizardpeople. Simply, NATO has always been at war with Eurasia, and its not Eurasia that prefers the war.
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 week ago:
Demonic subhuman NATO trolls bent on war on Russia must repeat every lie ever for moronic idiocracy to embrace their total subjugation. Everything is true because I love war, and I/my nations people are certain to prosper from total austerity, a draft, and paying the US every cent our country has for weapons to conduct a war without the US on Russia is simply an idiocracy level that is unimaginably extreme that your soul must be throttled out of trusting the pure BS that is bodysnatching you.
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 week ago:
That their decades-long cyber warfare doesn’t go unnoticed?
There are click farms on the internet. Many from former CIS states including Ukraine. That KGB/FSB doesn’t arrest them, doesn’t mean they aren’t paid by GOP/CIA for their click content. Even if they have FSB budget, it’s not as though west has pure love for Russia and isn’t subhuman demonic dog shit for trying to nazify Ukraine and Georgia, or video proof of Navaltny destabilization funding, in last 20 years.
That they have invaded Ukraine twice and took the slightest circumstance as an excuse to do it again, so they could pin the blame on the West while they openly dream about the revival of the USSR?
Everything a lie here. Red lines for peace today existed before the war. Ukraine needs to aspire to NATO, remain nazified, and conquer regions where they wish to exterminate population, as their only war objectives.
That they sabotage every chance for peace talks? Weren’t they literally bombing Ukraine while giving lip service to Trump about ending the war? Haven’t they orchestrated and perpetrated thousands of human rights violations by targeting civilians and poaching children for reeducation? That a bloodthirsty and power-hungry dictator’s administration is running the country?
Everything more lies. Ukraine and NATO scum don’t want peace. As demonic pig vermin, they blaming Russia for not wanting peace, and repeating your lies enough times to brainwash morons, is completely normal Hasbara for demonic pig scum.
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 1 week ago:
Soviet??? No budget or agency for him to be an agent of.
NATO supremacist evil has political capital tied up in Russophobia propaganda, and the delusion, once every 100 years, that the next time they invade Russia it will pay off. Only traitors, can ever question the potential failure of lies and money pit, and then traitors cannot be allowed to vote or run for office. All truth and practicalities is treason.
NATO supremacist hatred and threats to Russia are only growing stronger in response to direct economic war by US on NATO members. EU’s political capital is tied to the CIA/US approval of their assent to political power, and US provoked war in Ukraine.
EU is criticizing Trump for not being a Russophobe, while engaging in total Trump sycophancy of imposing austerity on their people in order to spend 5% of GDP on US weapons imports, all to gift to Ukrainian suicidal Russia diminishment.

- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
Chinese car factories DO NOT get a special discount on steel. You can’t just keep repeating that without source that is not also just baseless repeating of same lie.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
EVs are better cars, and most people are happy with them to get another EV in future. You do need private charging solutions to make it cheaper/convenient, and home solar makes it even better economics. Public charging is something you should plan to use a handful of times per year.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
It is not a mystery how propaganda gets started.
Steel is 1/3 the price as US. Alumnium 1/2. Markets with Futures trading. There’s over 300 car companies in China. They are not all directly subsidized. There is state involved ownership (from factory building) in Steel, but they make money at market prices.

- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
in 2024 in the west they were falling still. Europe stats are strong for all EVs. Should not be Tesla vs BYD. cleantechnica.com/…/eu-overtakes-the-rest-of-the-… 29% growth in first half of the year, and even higher in July. BEVs+Hybrids is almost 60% of sales. PHEV+BEV 24%, which is much higher than US, though behind China. Total car sales up, while ICE sales down.
European brands doing well. I don’t know the prices of every model, but they have to be providing value to be doing so well.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
CCP subsidizes the absolute shit out of domestic EVs
Not really. Metal is cheap. Lithium and rare earths are cheap. Abundance policies for raw materials aren’t subsidies. Inflation is low and so are interest rates, and so factories are also cheap. Abundance in robotics too. Highly automated factories make low cost cars.
Prices are not absurdly lower than western cars. Maybe $5k less for equivalent to Tesla, and
which basically forces people to buy them
a key program in China is not from CCP. City governments give licence plates to EVs letting them drive every day. There is a trade in incentive, and sales tax break, still, afaik, but all of that is less than what US had, and EVs without subsidies are cheaper than ICE vehicles, as they are starting to be in the west as well.
You are being downvoted because you don’t know what you’re talking about, and “everyone’s a tankie” for not being as uninformed or propagandized as you.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
If a country is not a divisive hellscape of anger, it must be because they are too afraid to answer surveys honestly. If fear motivated answers then “democracy is impotant” might score low if “there wasn’t a genuine feeling that people are heard in China”.
Look at the massive gap in west between democracy is important and the 40% of people too distracted to understand that their governments don’t serve them. Think hard of what a nightmarish dystopia that is for a second, and then realize that part of that divisiveness is politicians telling you (and you repeating their propaganda as absolute) we need a path to war against China that will make it all better.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
Tesla vs BYD is overhyped in Europe. Car sales rose 8%. Many European brands did better than this average. Hybrid and EV growth at about 35% in Europe should be story. Fine Tesla is sucking. We get it.
