Maps is also seriously going down the gutter.

1. There are ads in maps now.
2. It works OK if you know a name, but not the location, but not the other way around. If there's any concentration of businesses, you can zoom in all you want but it will only show 1 in 2 places.
3. Many search terms now result in residential places near the top results. I suppose these are mostly small webshops run out of homes for the same terms, but that isn't usually what one is looking for when using maps.

Or you just happen to live in an area with many addicts.

What about not using any free services for this? Those are guaranteed to be scummy. I pay $2 a month for NextDNS.

To absolutely no one's surprise.

Their core market was always the Netherlands. That market is absolutely saturated with bikes. There are more bikes than people in NL. It's not like the US where it's a relatively novel fenomenom with lots of growth opportunities for new markets.

Yeah so you get one of these thingies that has like 20 in different sizes. Costs like €5.

Toyota has been teasing this for years now. It's a bit like fusion energy at this point, always on the brink of a revolution that never comes.

But America spies on non-American citizens in the exact same way as TikTok does. The US complaining here is just hypocrisy. And the US has been doing it for far longer than the Chinese have.

So as a European citizen there is no difference between USian or Chinese Big Tech in terms of spying on me.

When the US does it it's just established practise. When a non-US entity does the same thing, it's suddenly a matter of national security.

The anti-Chinese vibe in the US right now is rather absurd. The rise of China should have been viewed as an opportunity, not a threat.

That's an innovative way to combat clickbaiting.

This sounds like a very dangerous design.
