as someone who lives in a fairly densly populated area, malls are almost directly tied to income levels of the local populace. malls in poorer neoghborhoods closed. upscale malls in rich neighborhoods are still thriving.

those who are in the budget state of mind is more likely buying a used vehicle over a brand new one. again, its the situation of a cheap new vehicle with a lot of cuts vs old vehicle that was considered premium. companies dont want to make a new cheap car because they have to compete with old premium ones.
when both the nissan leaf and chevy bolt guaged the market for a cheaper ev, they werent popular to the point where both models were canned, the leaf with no future date of return, and the bolt which chose not to have a new yearly model and will consider a newer one later. Fisker bankrupted itself out of the market, other external conpanies like kia arent importing their 20k evs like thr EV5 nor Ray EV for telling reasons, because the US market is extremely picky about what kind of car theyll buy.
the prices on cars in china are post government subsidies, and its already proven time again that when a BYD car gets moved elsewhere its real price is higher (sits closer to 20k rather than 12k) which would not put it that far from existing budget cars post federal subsidy.
keep in mind the american buyerbase is very politically charged. Conservative opinions have outright said they hate the push towards EVs, of those left, many have the common U.S mindset, that is they will only buy SUVs or Crossovers. then you have the section that will refuse to buy a car without a certain amount of capacity, which is why you can buy cars with 140-150 mi capacity outside of the U.S but its basically non existant within it. Its basically only the U.S market thats extremely picky with these kind of stuff, where drivers heavily value leg room and size over cost/efficiency
its less about the subsidies and more that budget buyers in the U.S in particular are very picky buyers.
while the federal/state EV tax credits, you can get vehicles like the Chevy Bolt for 20-22k. regardless the car still isnt that popular (meaning theres something specific about the car that buyers dont want).
for those buying used cars, theres not mamy reasons why someone would buy a say new 18k-20k EV that had many cuts in design vs an older premium EV. Used 2016 Model S for example can be found near 16k. its a new cheap car vs used premium car debate
this places a burden any any auto maker trying to make a budget car, because in order for it to sell well, they need to have razor thin margins, and sell a lot. failure to do so would spell the end of your compamy due to how many you produced.
for some of the vehicles its due to car saftey regulations, so modifications are needed to legally be sold in some regions. the regulations on vehicles in china are less strict than some other countries.
you can theoretically attach it to anything that has an outward API useable by developers. for an ultra basic example, it likely wouldnt be hard to tie it to a controller rumble API
i mean if you want chaos, program in whitespace
wait till you visit(or revisit) South Koreas attempt to normalize 69 hour work weeks
i mean they could look up Echidna Dick
one of the major reasons is that new cheap evs cant compete with used premium ones, hence the desire to develop a cheap EV, at least in the states, is economically prohibitive.
basically because of how picky people are, especially with budget cars, the risk of devlopment on them are extremely high. Make the wrong cut and youre suddenly a bankrupt company
which sites ask for IDs?
drugs and alcohol abuse isn’t just limited to pizza chefs, but chefs in general
and U.S slavery isnt even the biggest portion of slavery, its just the most shown due to hollywood. Slavery elsewhere (carribeans, south america) as a much more brutal and underrepresented portion of history in the Americas.
the centralized login method is easier for people outside of your network to use your content. thats kinda the main draw if you are willing to sacrifice that level of privacy
as a person who has it installed and has an OLED monitor, am not pictured. Of the few things why I haven’t bothered connecting my laptop to my monitor ever yet, though it happened recently for KDE plasma
the problem is aleays some person in marketing who tries to follow trends. For a good laugh, watch Derbauers recent video from computex about AI products and how many “AI” products were at the show.
part of the reason for that iirc is japan has different laws and management when it comes to it.
in context of steam, its usually because japanese managment to launch games on steam is a different person for global organizations, and is usually incompetent. sometimes, the reason is a tually laws about voice/music licensing rights specific to japan
while i am a proponent that different brands of water is different and there is a difference in taste, ill never defend overpriced water.
like you arent going to give me a bottle of arrowhead water.
i mean think like camels. the only reason why other regions dont do it as much is because they either dont have a history of dairy, or they lack some bovine species to milk as bovines produce more milk (not saying horses dont produce a good chunk of milk, just not as much as cows, bison, yaks and such)
i mean historically, this isnt new. CPUs and GPUs will always introduce some new compute unit thats highly specific workloads using up die space. take cpu examples like AVX2, AVX512 for example, or Aegia Physx hardware, or Nvidias Tensor units to allow for tech like raytracing/upscaling or all hardwares video decoder/encoders.
Companies will push the changes on their hardware regardless, and they will only remove it if it interferes with a core design of a chip (e.g Intel P/E cores disable AVX512 because E cores do not have AVX512 units) or gets i a point that barely anyone uses it.
if you never want to buy into thia kind of tech, then choose to never buy whoever is the most popular cpu/gpu in a market, because people at the top invent new things to further the gap between them and everyone else, as they are usually first and foremost, publically traded companies.
the only one that has any remote defense was the pre 1967 borders, as it was what Britain ceeded to Israel that they aquired after the fall of the Ottoman empire. at the same time, it should have been when palestine should also have become an official state.
