I recently charged and old Blackberry to see if it is still alive. They got everything so right I really miss those devices I will buy BB in a heartbeat. The OS is sublime I was surprised how after 10+ years not using a device like this I could go around everything without any friction. So easy to use intuitive the little trackpad is on par with macbooks, BB had stacking messages 10 years ago, the size of the device is just perfect. Everything about it is just a joy to use. I can't understand to this day how this company went downhill.

I keep seeing this fallacy argument about some bad actors and criminals etc. etc. Every government have structures and laws to prevent such activities, in absolutely no shape or form it does not need to read every single message of it citizens. I don't understand how someone can be apologetic for totalitarian state.

You are most definitely not right. The EU charter of fundamental rights is an agreement that holds legal binding. The institutions who are supposed to uphold the charter are CJEU, European Commission, FRA, NHRIs.

The people who wrote this proposal said it themselves - "Whilst different in nature and generally speaking less intrusive, the newly created power to issue removal orders in respect of known child sexual abuse material certainly also affects fundamental rights, most notably those of the users concerned relating to freedom of expression and information."

This proposal is illegal. The fact that CJEU at least haven't issued a statement that this is illegal tells you everything you need to know about the EU and its democracy.

Strip the privileges from the bureaucrats who are involved in any type of government work or activity. No immunities, no security.

If you want to be a servant to the public be one.

Modern ICEVs are super clean [1]. Teslas were bought because of their software advantage and I don't mean "self driving" I argue that Tesla in its core is a software company, the old brands quickly caught up on the software part, that is why you are going to see a shift from the Tesla market. Yes sure there is going to be some political factor but I don't think the % is that high, compared to better/improved software more slick UI and overall better build quality.

I see quite the opposite trend tho.

Hybrids are great this is where the push should have been. Dacia is doing really great in Europe. The old manufactures are again not in the loop. Dacia rebranding is quite something[2] their new Duster/Bigster line looks super cool and modern. The market is already starting to slowly shift less digital more analogue[3]. The whole TV screen cockpit, piano black plastic, AI everywhere is monstrosity its atrocious this is not luxury its grotesque.

If you don't see it, it doesn't mean that it is not braking it.

They themselves even wrote it in the proposal - "Whilst different in nature and generally speaking less intrusive, the newly created power to issue removal orders in respect of known child sexual abuse material certainly also affects fundamental rights, most notably those of the users concerned relating to freedom of expression and information."

This proposal is de facto a mass communication surveillance of EU citizens.

Exactly as you mentioned every single member state and EU have laws that can for example issues a court order and seize your communication devices if you are braking a law for an investigation, there is no need for EU to have a law that first goes against the very essence of EU, second it also brakes I am pretty sure every single constitution of each different member states.

If this law passes you live in a totalitarian state and there is no excuse for that.

You can't be serious.

There should't be a discussion at all.

This law proposal is explicitly against the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the allegedly institutions that are supposed to upheld the charter are CJEU, European Commission, FRA, NHRIs, where are they?

Controls from touch screens should be banned.

There is a reason why your cognitive memory performs far superior with physical buttons and knobs.

There is a reason why formula 1 car steering wheel is full with buttons, not a touch screen.

There are plenty of well established UX laws, and principles form 60's like Hick's law Fitt's law and so on. Plenty of studies of failures, because of bad UX.

Every time I see tesla model 3 with that big screen, and not only model 3, I cringe so hard.

Screens should be integrated in cockpits. Software should enhance the experience not add more cognitive load.

I sometimes wonder do they even hire UX specialists or UI designers in those companies.
