Civilization 7 dev on Ages system and series shakeup: "It's going to be the hardest thing for fans to get adjusted to"
  • Sadly your average person just doesn't care about consumer rights, in any matter.

    I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer's DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.

  • BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)
  • EU is at least trying to do something about that. As of last year stores are required to display the cheapest price they've had for an item in the past three months when they have something on sale. Not all stores comply, and of course they try to get around these by the usual shenanigans, like basically the same product being available from the manufacturer with two slightly different item codes.

    Edit: I think I was mistaken, and it's 30 days, not 3 months

  • Proportional Representation is Stable
  • It's mostly because this has been a go-to response by Americans in topics about some European countries doing significantly better than the US: "It's because they don't have black people".

  • Parking like this for your benefit
  • When I last moved, I fit my six person dining room set in my VW Passat at the same time. The table was partially disassembled, all the chairs were whole. Pretty sure there was other stuff in the car at the time too. Regular people don't need these giant pickups.

  • Amazon is bricking its Astro business robots less than a year after launch
  • This is pretty close to how it works here in Finland, although I'm not sure if it's based on national or EU legislation. The cost of recycling is baked into the price of any electronics, and as a rule of thumb, you can drop off any small devices to be recycles at stores that sell appliances. When it comes to bigger appliances, the stores only need to take your old one if you're buying a new one. You can of course also bring them to municipal recycling centers.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
  • Indeed. My girlfriend lives there, last time I was over we went to the big demonstration against mass tourism. I felt a bit sick at the airport listening to all the north European pensioners talking about how they rent a place year round for 800€/month just to spend the odd week now and then there. While many locals working in tourism make minimum wage, around 1300€/month I believe.
