I don't think China would team up with the EU explicitly, it would be more of a pact against a common adversary.

Trump sues BBC for $5 billion in c/world@lemmy.world

That just raises more questions.

How can person A sue company B, which is headquartered in country B and releases products in country B, in country A. Company B could have followed all the laws of Country B so it wouldn't be illegal in that country.

How does that even work. BBC Panarama programme, which airs in the UK, made the claims, yet he is filling a lawsuit in Miami?

I guess he's trying to sue BBC America?

I guess it's time for me to sue America for £1 trillion in my local court for ruining my Internet scrolling experience

How the UK’s dependency on cars slows down the economy in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Let's put the cost into perspective. I drove to London today for a day out with family and friends. 4 adults, one toddler.

I used about 1/3 tank of petrol. = £15 Parking £10 at tube station all day. Oyster cost was about £8/person = £32

£57 total.

If we had done it by public transport

£19.40/person return on train = £78 £16 travel card zones 1-6 = £64

That is off peak costs as well. If we travelled at peak time it would have been even more.

£142 total.

Almost 2.5x as expensive. Plus I get to travel in the comfort of my own vehicle, and travel time was faster in the car

Dash cam and selling car (lemmy.world)
 

I'm going to be selling my car in the coming weeks as it's in its sunset years and will be getting a new one. One wisdom I have though is around my dashcam. Obviously I'll be taking it from my old car and putting it in my new one, but the thing is, it's stuck to the windscreen with the M3 adhesive tape that came with it. I've looked online and removing it should be as simple as heating the adhesive strip with a hairdryer, but I was wondering, can I reuse the adhesive strip, or will I need to get another one? For context, it's been stuck to my windscreen for around 6 months, so not sure what state the adhesive will be in.

Where can I find the firmware TPM Key (lemmy.world)
 

So I'm getting round to preparing my PC for Windows 11, and I just have to activate TPM 2.0. I have found it in UEFI BIOS and went to activate it and this warning came up. Where can I find/set the firmware TPM key.

I'd rather know this before activating TPM, than get caught with my pants down at a later date.

Can I interrupt chkdsk process (lemmy.world)
 

I noticed my D: drive was marked as dirty and some folders were coming up as corrupted, so I recovered as much data as possible, and then scheduled a chkdsk /r /f on next restart, and I've been here since Thursday (it progressed a bit throughout Wednesday):

I now need to urgently access files on my C: drive, but don't know if I should interrupt this process with a forced power off.

Why was Brave New World a Captain America film and not a Hulk film? (lemmy.world)
 

Just watched it on Disney+ and everything about the movie screams Hulk, yet Captain America is the titular hero. Why?

Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" (lemmy.world)
 

Context: We're in a bit of a heat wave and my daughter loves to cool down by splashing in water. Today was no different.

Once she was done, I say to her "Let's get you out of that wet dress. I imagine it must be uncomfortable. I've never actually worn a wet dress before".

Before I can follow that up with "I've worn wet clothes before, and that's not the nicest", my wife jumps in and claims that me saying I've never worn a wet dress is sexist.

Is it?

How can I verify which apps will run on Graphene before migrating? (lemmy.world)
 

I have a lot of Apps on my Android that are essential to me (authenticators, finance management apps, etc.). How can I verify if they will work on Graphene/are even able to be installed?

Is it just me or did this feel very derivative of the James Bond skit at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London games?
