Oi. I'm taking that personal!

They were essentially destroying the domestic market in a ruinous competition, and drove some established manufacturers to the verge of bankruptcy. And automotive in China is one of the largest industries, with a lot of manpower involved. The economy is already struggling, they'd have a hard time dealing with mass unemployment on top.

Their profit is dropping because the Chinese government forbade them to sell unused cars from past overproductions as "used" with 1km down at a 30% discount, so now they have to expand to other countries aggressively which is rather costly.

Can you install generic apks on UBports, or only precompiled .deb packages and other native Linux applications?

You can get Android phones with reasonable specs around $200. No need for the so called "flagships".

I'm wearing my smartwatch as a wristwatch. All notifications are off, but I see the temperature, UV index, step and calorie counters, which is nice. And if I ever want to review my sleep data, pulse, sPO2 saturation and location history, I got it available just in case. And for the very rare case that my phone is charging and I want to access messages from another room, I can do that manually.

Thanks for pointing out that it's fictional, for a brief moment I was anxious our Martian colonies were under siege.

Wow. This is the most anticlimactic piece of "journalism" I've read my entire life.

He was probably exaggerating, while Hong Kong central is pretty built up, there are a lot of areas without any buildings, and even national parks large enough to get lost in (for a few hours at least).

Fully agree, and I do reward people based on performance, but as you rightfully mention, attendance alone means nothing.

I rather block lefties coming out of the woodworks, cleans my frontpage up nicely.
