Apple only started working on its processors in around 2008. At that time there were only 40 or 50 engineers… The team got bigger through greater ambitions and acquisitions and in 2023 there are “thousands of engineers working across labs all over the world,” including those in the U.S. Israel, Germany, Austria, the U.K., and Japan.

Electronics galore. Moore’s Law manifesting

Our highways in Portugal have a 120km/h limit (~75mph). There are a ton of states with an 80mph limit, similar to some other European countries, like in France I think they have some places at 130km/h

We have the Fiat Tipo SW in Portugal, caro irmão!

I believe James May’s fixation of Dacias was actually more towards the Sandero, with it being the actual cheapest car you could get. At one time it cost under 10 000€ with steelies and plastic bumpers!

Plates are North Carolina but it could be anywhere really… never mind!

Agreed 1000%, we can get sushi for 2 for 5€!!! Why so many restaurants are still not in it? I don’t know, it’s such a good idea.

Amen to that, why would the average Joe get this as a separate subscription? They’re not giving us more GB in the plans, so at least give that to the public. I’m on an iPhone 11 but I support everyone else getting it.

I can think of a couple for us here in Europe.

First is Honda, proved by my father-in-law’s 2000 Civic EK hatch 1.4L 90hp with almost 300.000km and not a SINGLE major issue with it. It was a one-owner, garage kept car when he bought it, and it shows that when you take care of things, especially Hondas, they are rewarding and are great bang for the buck.

Last but not least, is Nissan, wit a 2000 Nissan Micra 1.3 that’s well taken care of, maintenance is in check is a rewarding feeling. A friend of mine bought a red one for a first car a few months ago and it’s the best car ever for everyone - learners, experienced drivers, weekend drivers, etc. Those things are everywhere here so spare parts are plenty for even if things do break.
