Trump is basically the same as Erdogan, and Putin. Same network of "leaders".

Absolutely. Google aren't going to demand discoverability for their platform. ARM aren't going to put it in either. Both are happy for things to go obsolete and be replaced just because of software. So it falls to regulators when the market fails.
The fact this YouTube shows the problem. YouTube is Google and an American tech monopoly. An independent Europe can't be dependent on the US.
What hardware works probably for it to be a daily phone? Looks like none have the camera more than partly working and most have worse problems.
Pissed me off phones aren't just like PCs. They shouldn't need Device Tree and custom ROMs. We should be able to install whatever OS we want and be confident it can work.
Range is important, but so is cost. Teslas are too expensive for Leaf owners.
My 7 seat EV only does at most 150 miles. But even now, two years later, there isn't anything else that comfortably fits 7 adults. Let alone not over twice the price. So 200 miles seams ok to me.
I agree standard charger connectors are important. But CHAdeMO is standard, just not in Europe or North America. Can't blame the Leaf for not knowing that would happen.
The Leaf is also one of the very few cars, least in the UK, which can be using bidirectionally. https://www.indra.co.uk/v2g/
I don't own a Leaf, but I respect what they did. You see loads of them here.
The Leaf was cheap. It introduced many to EVs. They are super common third or fourth hand now. It was aimed at the other end of the market than the Tesla.
Yes, because it was cheap.
Don't know about that. Leaf has been pretty important as well.
Not just open, but also always reproducible built. So you can know the source is for the actual binary.
Also services. Including Google, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Those American tech monopolies are now a problem for all to see.
I said this to a few people and you can suddenly see the realization that their entire digital life is completely dependent on America and is now being called in question. It should of been before because of anti-trust, not following local regs, or taxes. But it was inconvenient.
Don't know how far it can goes. IP blocks, MAC address blocks, DNS, Root Auths? There is basic stuff that is meant to be international, but is unduly American. America going to break the internet trying to use it for dominance? If you don't want responsibility, or act responsible, you lose the power that responsible gave. If American fucks this position up, they will never have it again.
The ones I met really don't know anything else. If you got to the point of being a Windows power user (slight oxymoron), having to start again on another platform is enraging when it seams different for the sake of it. It seams like others are cheating when achieving more using something else. They aren't playing by the same rules!
Similarly, if you don't know anything else and don't know Windows really either, change is scary. Basically humans don't like change and will fight to keep things unchanged, rather than embrace and utilize the change.
