Monster pickup trucks accelerate into Europe as sales rise despite safety fears

Those have to park somewhere and can’t do so legally due to size and permissible gross weight. I usually get out of my way to report incorrectly parked SUVs, BMWs, Audis and such (we have a nice app from an indie dev for that in Poland). I’ve been averaging a dozen or so towed or wheel locked cars per week based on responses from city guard. I’ll keep on doing this until those fuckers learn to stay away from our cities.

Breaking: Samsung Pulls Out of Israel Amid Moral and Economic Decline

Highly misleading. Samsung Next, a Samsung VC firm closed Israel offices but will keep investing in Israel.

This appears to be original source from a month ago: https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/by1p82me0

Today, I am sharing the news that Samsung Next has made necessary organizational changes in the Tel Aviv office to consolidate its activities. Israel remains an attractive market for Samsung Next, and the existing relationships with partners and portfolio companies will remain unchanged.

Apple's mobile chips are now made in the U.S. — TSMC produces the older A16 Bionic at its Arizona fab

Reply in thread

Yeah, they're essentially doing trials where Arizona fab provides small amounts of sillicon that's being validated against what Taiwan fab does. While it was planned for 2024 I'm guessing everyone thought it would be delayed. It's quite a big win for US, they're on track to secure domestic supply of fairly modern chips in case shit hits the fan in Taiwan.
