Also from Europe, gas is measured/billed in kWh here as well.

It should also be noted that the order of magnitude is very different to fossil fuels. And at least in theory the harvesting and progressing can be done using renewable energy sources (at least for large parts of it). We are very far from actually doing this though.
The main issue in practice is the combustion byproducts and fine particulates.
Ah yes the old classic "I don't know what the actual problem is, but just waiting a bit seems to help".
It sure does help though.
Kind of ironic for an article hosted on a site called "Linux links".
I had no issue getting the app on my phone, but it wasn't really working anymore. I'd also have to swap the battery and reprint the buttons again. I'm just waiting for the new pebble now, it's only a few months now.
I had to stop wearing my pebble 2 hr when the software became too flaky to tolerate. Notifications would just randomly Go through or not, media controls would sometimes not work, and so on. But can't wait to go back, as my alternatives are all fundamentally flawed.
That is not how trademarks work. They are purpose specific. I still have no idea why they would want to name it the same as an old processor, but I doubt it's actually an issue.
Only works in America though
I remember reading about it in german media, but you can easily check the votes in the EU gparliament, as they are public. Specifically there's a nice list of how they voted on that particular issue here (english/reuters). Germany voted "against".
Like @barsoap@lemm.ee wrote, the (german) articles mentions fears of "retribution" taxes by the chinese. And when these tarifs were announced/planned, china did immediately say they'd react accordingly (so it's no an unfounded fear). Another earlier article also mentions "expert opinions" that question benefit for the german car makers due to their large export volume to china (and at least some of them having plants in china making their vehicles, too).
Now a very recent article from last week notes that the profit of VW-Group has dropped around 31% over last year, and a large part of that is coming from lower sales (and more competition) in China, as well as general restructuring costs. But I have absolutely no idea if the "reverse tariffs" are actually already in place by China, or just planned, or if they reverted their stance. It might also be that they just made independently bad decisions and this is just a consequence of that...
Edit: corrected some nonsense, oops.
There were accusations and reports for their factory in Brazil (source: BBC, as well as many others at the same time). I personally didn't look much further into it and haven't tried following the story since, but I would research if I was looking to buy a car.
Edit: Note I'm also not the op of the comment.
If you're setting them up for a company, you'll join too a domain anyway and it's a non-issue. Probably even have it automated using WDS or a similar 3rd party solution.
Doesn't make it any less annoying as a policy from Ms, but for any company of like 50+ employees, it shouldn't affect anything.
