He is correct: Having a Bachelor in science does not make one a scientist unless actively pursuing research. He has a solid science background but like many others with science diplomas, he's not a scientist. He is an entertainer, like all YouTube science channel figureheads unless their daily job is at a lab ( and even then: they are not necessarily talking about subjects they know well, science is a wide area of knowledge).

    I don't get the thing about pixels: you unlock the bootloader and keep using Google's android or install whatever rom , relock or not the bootloader (it does secure your device) and go on with your life. The fact the devices bootloader is locked when bought doesn't mean you cannot unlock it.

    Motorola will only have 1 phone with grapheneOS on it and GrapheneOS will dev for that one device but they won't dev for other Motorola devices. Do not expect to pick up any moto phones except that one device and flash grapheneOS on it.

    I understand him though, GrapheneOS without the underlying security hardware is a huge security risk for the end user. It makes people think they get benefits from running a secure os while in fact, they are at the same level as running lineage.

    Vraiment, hier le petit vapoteur, je suis client, rien de la part de l'entreprise.

    Au cours des deux dernières semaines : Le SIA il y a quelques jours, à part quelques blogs de chasseurs: rien. Le CROUS (dont scan des CNI/passeports des étudiants): toujours silencieux. Le ministère de l'éducation avec identitée, carrière et adresse personnelle des profs et futurs profs. Toujours rien.

    C'est pas en laissant les gens dans le noir que les choses vont avancer. Je suis assez étonné. Vous avez peut être une explication qui aille plus loin que: les gens paniqueraient si ils savaient?

    Tesla's start at over 30.000 euros! That's not a cheap car by no means!

    Plus: there is a huge problem at the top of Tesla. It's not the subject here but I cannot close my eyes on Greenland's fate just for a car. I have the same reservation over Tibet or the Uyghurs for other brands.

    The new twingo is the exact same price in constant euros as the first gen twingo that came out in 1993.

    Besides that, prices of EVs are not more expensive over 5 or 10 years despite the shown price because you run them at a much much cheaper price : electricity is often cheaper than gas, the only real cost you would have to pay is tires and shock absorbers, breaks pads and disks get used a lot less because of regen, no belts or chains, no spark plugs, no oil change, no exhaust, no turbo, no belts driven AC, no starter motor, no alternators etc... All those things that cost a lot in mechanic repairs for most cars.

    You meant Renault? They made the Zoe back in 2014, then made the Megane only electric, made the Spring through their Dacia subsidiary, now the 5, and they are launching the new Twingo generation as only electric. This makes them cover all EV segments, from the sub 20.000 euro electric car to the 60.000 one through alpine. They use more and more European made batteries and motors. Out of all the European car makers Renault and Mercedes are the ones that are the most pro electric now.
