<p>Sure, they're so far up in Germans automakers asses, they don't know it any other way.<p>One of the reasons i quit my 20 year+ membership with them.<p>I mean - have <i>some</i> bias? Fine with me, i can read between the lines. Come up with ridiculous crap and reasons to favour domestic brands? There <i>is</i> a line, at least for me and many others that <i>do</i> know when they're intentionally ignoring, downrating, downplaying etc. etc. etc.<p>Another example? German IT magazine "c't" by heise recently featured a test (4/2026, page 16ff.), in cooperation with ADAC, about subscriptions in electric vehicles - actually one thing where Tesla shines (it's a flat 10€ per month, other countries get a 99$ a year deal) - others don't even bother listing prices until you order, for example.<p>With <i>no single word</i> that test mentioned Tesla (yet, priding themselves having queried 16 brands for information) - only in the final table overview, there indeed is one column for them.<p>The bias is showing, it's ridiculous and they can, as far as i'm concerned, go the way of the dodo.</p>

<p>Must be that way - watching "an evening" (yes, i just made up a time unit) of Netflix consumes 1/4 to 1/3 of the bandwidth "an evening" of consuming content on AppleTV+.<p>So, about 10GB or less on Netflix to 30GB or more on AppleTV+, dissected by DPI on my TP-Link Omada Gateway.<p>And indeed, i think it shows - i can't notice any banding or moire effect on pretty much any AppleTV+ content, while it is as clear as night and day that Netflix compresses the hell out of their content.</p>

<p>I kinda agree in the way that having synced notes (a good feature in itself, also available on iPhone/Mac) would probably suffice.<p>Still, being able to copy and paste not only text but also images between devices seamlessly is really nice, not to mention i can open an open browser-tab (Safari, iOS) in Brave on the Mac by just clicking the icon that has a "mobile device icon" next to it and it opens the same tab on the Mac...<p>And yes - as i said - i agree that having a synced note app would probably enable the same usecases, but with distinctly more friction (at least in my books).</p>

<p>My journey is quite similar, although I haven’t migrated (back) to Linux and not away from iPhone yet.<p>Do you have a writeup of that, somewhere? How do you manage without device interoperability (i.e. copy and paste between Mac and iPhone)?</p>
