I doubt it'll go fast. Apple is a nice example of it. They went after people who repaired their products, tried to change the law concerning "right of repair" and essentially built in killswitches designed to brick when attempting a repair. All because they want to sell new products. They buy what they'll like, even if it's the same product numerous times over. Sure, but it can't hurt try to be Japanese in a different way sometimes. It's mostly the limitations that make it interesting to me, it shows can show true talent in in developers and composers. They were also cheaper, so more devs on that than an IBM PC in the early years. I really should go through their libraries once.

It would be by employers, not so sure about prospective employees though. The age old problem of automatization. Looking at the stats pop stats in most of Europe is probably pretty shocking and most solutions I've heard were useless. One of them was to make daycare cheaper which isn't going to convince most people to HAVE kids. Immigration problems aren't as pronounced here yet, mainly due to our immigrants being truly global in most cases. Most issues do come from the 60-80's guest labourer boom, probably the same with Germany. I don't see it getting better. It probably will, most manufacturers want them to look Futuristic/modern/electric. There are not many I'd call truly ugly, but the BMW I3 comes to mind, a single solid colour makes it more tolerable though. A few more common brands which apparently sell well are Nissan, Renault and Hyundai. Apart from that Chinese EV's are selling great in China. Maybe they'll start exporting them soon enough, that'll surely drive down the price of an EV. As long as the US tests more in Europe, The Netherlands and Italy come to mind as great places to test autonomous driving. If it'll be able to handle complex roads and tiny cities with a good amount of traffic it should do well anywhere. Much better way than testing them on American Highways.

No real extra fees here, I pay barely €3 a month for my entire bank account. It's not really as much of a hassle as you might think though, about as much steps as withdrawing money from an ATM. I can see why you wouldn't want to pay extra though, would've thought they'd subsidize it.

Probably just want to ship it quickly. Generally happens when you've done "shady" shit or dealt with shady people. I don't have funds on it though, just my debit card hooked on it. Never had any issues either, but I can imagine it's more common when receiving money. Yeah, pretty sure that's the point of those books. A collection of previous works, promo materials/blog pictures/covers and designs from other stuff he did. On one hand it's interesting to have the promo materials in some form, but the creator works are kind of lackluster.

Just a shift of the culture I guess. The discussion is too shallow in most places and if they are knowledgable they tend to be pretty elitist at this point, hardware collectors being an example. Or the anti-emulator brigade, but I guess there's a big cross-section between the latter two. I'm sure there are some places out there though.
