One way or another, the pandemic has put a lot of things in extreme disarray here and politicians are helping to destroy our industry because lobbying and their own pockets full of money are more important… the pandemic in particular has revealed the worst corruption among our politicians. Von der Leyen… the same at European level and now is the time when she has to face up. But it will come to nothing otherwise she wouldn’t have been re-elected…

As far as quality is concerned… Well, the West (not just Germany) has outsourced a lot to China. Many people still make fun of the fact that the Chinese only copy and produce poor quality. But that has not been the case for a long time. They have left the West behind in many areas (even if there is still a lot of crap from China, of course). You can’t keep up with China, especially when it comes to prices. But well, you can get very good or better quality from China.

Thank you for the detailed answer. I guess I had some misconceptions about high school then.

Mh that’s not true about the 18 year age for work here, I have to say in retrospect. In my youth it was still common to distribute brochures etc. at the weekend around the age of ~14, mh internships still exist, but this is unpaid work, at ~16 years then an apprenticeship and from 18 years then in regular work (or depending on further university).

Well, these predetermined breaking points can be found in all appliances. However, this is nothing new. The current problems at Miele are for other reasons. For example, pushing prices down as far as possible during production.
Wave of layoffs
It is questionable to what extent the wave of redundancies will take place
Well
as many have already left as a result.
Another reason… After Germany had managed to turn “Made in Germany” into something positive, things went downhill again. Since many work steps are carried out in China or elsewhere and only the final work steps are carried out in Germany… Just enough to allow the label to be used legally. Our legislators should have done more. Why should you pay more for alleged German quality when most of it is not German quality?

The text in () was also not referring to you, but in general. In retrospect, I’m thinking about the costs of high school. Unfortunately, I can only find information about years abroad for non-US citizens. Many people take on debt for college, don’t they?

Lol sadly. The long life is a loss business. People only buy a new one as soon as the old one is scrap. Once the market is served, the problem of longevity arises and therefore no revenue. That’s why a lot of money has been invested in predetermined breaking points, which are usually designed for shortly after the warranty. (A lot of money, because it has to be achieved by material weakness or something else that cannot be proven. ) This means that there are always customers and therefore revenue. It’s stupid but unfortunately it has to be that way. In many other areas too.

Damn, at 15 you’re still at school here and going to school is compulsory by law. (It is also financially supported by the state, i.e. pupils and parents don’t have to pay for school attendance themselves. Well, through taxes)

Unfortunately, the “trend” is also increasingly arriving in Europe… The best thing is the self-service tills, which are supposed to save staff costs and then the question of donations for doing the work yourself. Well, I don’t like that sort of thing on principle and if I donate, I give the money to the person who deserves it. So only in cash anyway.

There is also a huge difference between donations (unsolicited) and begging (requests). It should definitely be considered begging by the company in question with all the legal consequences such as tax evasion etc.

For God’s sake… Take care of your damn hands! How can you actually be so extremely abnormal. Gross, disgusting, insane

Old Data anyway

Yes ok that may be with ADB I won’t deny that. Never looked if that was enough because I rooted for other things anyway and then uninstalled it.

I have to admit that I hadn’t thought of solutions like shizuku, which should make the whole thing more convenient with ADB

Stuff like this as example (well not the 2 Last entrys)

Oh yes, of course, if you want to completely prevent communication to Meta with a customized host file, you can’t avoid root or a solution that then sets up a local VPN so that it can be blocked, but then no other vpn is functional.

Lol there was…

Xiaomi (but i got other Brands too). With hyperOS (Android based) < because of the previous history with the trade dispute over Huawei. Nevertheless, even there you will find various apk’s from Meta that are integrated into the system.

Naturally. After all, Meta pays the manufacturers to integrate and pre-install their stuff. As I said, this includes not only the apps you see in the launcher but also the services for integration in other apps, etc. If you really think Meta would do without such a treasure trove of data, you’re being naive.

I’m not just talking about the apps that can be accessed via the launcher. But also other services/modules that cannot be accessed via the launcher.

Well, in the end, everyone has to decide what they are happier with anyway. Even though I use Linux, I can understand that people also prefer to work seamlessly in the Apple Ecosystem. I can’t comment on the smart home. I don’t have any problems there, but I build my own things that the average user might not be interested in.

Haha. Well, I can criticize Apple for a lot of things, but Alphabet with Android as well. Especially with Apple, I don’t know what is pre-installed and how deeply anchored in the system. With Android, I would also prefer to be able to remove all the bloatware without root.

rooted device? If not… No its not uninstalled

Trash oh and bigger Trash… Sadly only Trash gets released
