Sony is reportedly set to release an updated PS5 DualSense controller with a removable battery | VGC
Nice change. But it's probably because of the EU making it mandatory more than Sony being good guys.
Well, I think it's too nice to call them facists only. It's literally a dictatorship.
That's a fair point. Maybe this "feature" is hard to implement with all countries agreeing on the taxing.
But their might be a limit to how much you can send without being taxable.
This is also a minor feature. As long as it's possible within country borders, it would be fine 98% of the time.
It was un-american 50 years ago.
The only thing changed right now is the idiot in charge, who just spills it all, because no one can stop him. Even though it's a democracy.. Right?..
The purpose is to boost European companies. Right now they pay between 1-3% of every single transaction.
Next, banks will also get hit. If a digital Euro exists, bank transactions will go down, meaning less transaction fees for both consumers and companies.
Then there's convinience. People will be free to transfer money across the continent, and also to friends and family without any costs (some countries have that, some dont).
VISA and MasterCard is just a very unneccesarry middle man in 2025.
Who takes the bill then? Well, the EU does, because they work for the people, and the money gained is much larger than money spent. Net positive matematics.
I dont think your definition of "American" matches with the rest of the world if this is "un-american" for you.
It's not that dumb. There's a market for this, if you want it or not.
And if you're going to use crypto, it's better they use a currency that's not tied to the currency of an unstable country.
Also, the EU is looking to make a digital Euro anyway, which will not be a crypto coin as you know it, but a way to take power away from VISA and Mastercard, which will save European countries for billions each year.
Fire, electricty, gravity and magnetism is magic, and you cant convince me otherwise.
That's true, every movie takes on something different.
But then again there's Pocahontas that came out at the same time that tackles racism and the importance of nature.
While this is a good narrative to make about Disney if we want to hate on them, it's not true though.
The Disney movies for kids is almost all about not maintaining status quo and actually challenge it. Or being different than anyone else
Frozen and Moana are recent examples. Pirates of Caribbean for an older audience. There's many more.
Can you use an open source weather app, or is the problem deeper than that?
