In Italy we have a weird culture of “porta blindata” as main house door.

Basically evry house has it. I’m not saying is super secure but at least you would need some lockpicking skills to open it, it’s not something you can knock down with 1 shot like you see in the movies

Depends of the sector i guess

No motivation to do better leads to stagnating tech evolution. If you remove private business you stagnate

Italian here. Our right wing government who blinks an eye to all small entrepreneur in Italy (there are A TON here) recently increased the max cash payment from 2k to 5k. This is definitely a way to say “please be free to recycle a bit more oney” and to gain votes in exchange.

It’s incredible how Germany, Austria, or Switzerland to name a few have this crazy high cash payment.

In fact our “ndrangheta” for example (Mafia from Calabria) expanded a lot in Germany due to this.

Lenovo p2. Bought used in summer 2017 actually. Never swapped battery

Im running an android phone from 2016 with android 13 and last week security patches. Smooth as silk, no google, no ads, battery lasts 10h SOT. That’s the reason why ill never switch to Apple as daily driver (I have 1 provided by my company)

Have you used android in the last 10 years? Im not the kind of guy who install 100 apps per day but i did not encounter this issue for a VERY long time.

Used or refurbished phones already payed that once and will not pay it again. So technically, you are not giving a cent to google.

This sentence makes me laugh. Where are you from?
