It is much better. US car brands look like they are stuck in the 90s. Still, I don't get the preoccupation from the US, almost all cars in Mexico have been from Asia for at least a decade or maybe more. And before that it was all Volkswagen.

I'm learning Kotlin and Android Studio and for that I'm developing a very simple CRUD App. I used sonet 3.5 and was impressed when it developed the XML file, mainactivity, added internet access permits and wrote the restful API in PHP for XAMPP. It compiled at the first try, but for the life of me I can't find why the restful API keeps returning a 405 error. And I'm a seasoned programmer in C, C++, phyton and XAMPP! It was, at the same time, impressive and extremely frustrating.

I had a Samsung dishwasher that I dumped after just 4 years because it kept breaking every 6 to 12 months. I also have a fridge that is 8 years old that cost me an arm and a leg from Samsung and I need to keep fixing it every couple of years and have given up on fixing the ice maker. Also just dispossessed of a washing machine last month from, you guessed, Samsung because the mother board fried and they don't sell it anymore, it was 6 years old. I still have a curved LED 85" TV that some how broke in the corner, for fucks sake, it's made of aluminum! Not only that, the smart TV menus are infected with ads everywhere. Why the hell did that happen? It was a very expensive TV when I bought it. I have a few Hisense TVs and they last years and are ridiculously cheap. Samsung has a beautiful design but all their products are just plain crap with planned obsolescence. Never again will I buy a Samsung home appliance.

No, but I have seen absolutely impressive Huawei and Xiaomi Android phones.

Yes, Just like those awful iphones they also make.

While this is possible for a couple of years, it is definitely not sustainable in the middle term. If that was true, then Ericsson and Blackberry would still have the biggest market cap in smartphones and GM, Ford and Chrysler would be the biggest car companies in the world.

If you live in the US probably not.

But I would think TVs and microchips are more complicated than printers. And those two have been cracked by the Chinese.

The real question here is where are the Chinese printers?! I mean, it's a big market, why aren't they getting into it?

Because that interview is for investors. He's looking out for the shares price, not his customers. We can always buy other products, like Canon or Epson. It's too bad because HP printers are the best, but not enough to let us be robbed like other brands.

Maybe people are just tired of movies about race, sexual preferences and gender plastered everywhere without context and just want to see an interesting story. It used to be like that with movies like toy story, the first couple, and monsters inc.
