That's an excellent question. Pretty sure the page I copied that quote from looks a lot like the linked page. I don't have other pages about this topic in my browsing history. Either CNCB edited the page, or my browser forgot a page.

The linked article has this:

That 39% figure claimed by the U.S. is widely disputed with the World Trade Organization saying the EU’s average tariff rate was 4.9% in 2024.

...

“Nevertheless, considering the actual trade in goods between the EU and U.S., in practice the average tariff rate on both sides is approximately 1%. In 2023, the U.S. collected approximately 7 billion euros [$6.35 billion] of tariffs on EU exports, and the EU collected approximately 3 billion euros on U.S. exports,” the Commission said.

If it’s for machines, it’s a bit more complicated.

According to this video, it's actually even easier with machines: just get the cheapest powder you can find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0

And would be nice to know if it's coming to other platforms at the same time, or is it going to be Switch 2 exclusive for some time.

You can probably find some local company that makes custom stickers. That sticker is probably custom-made.

They launched successfully, but the end result wasn't ideal. Looks like they managed to "land" back to the launch pad, or very close to it.

Weather is looking good at the moment, so they can probably go with the launch. The launch window opens at UTC 10:30, which is about an hour from now, and the live stream starts 20 minutes before launch.

They have tools that look like the Leatherman tools. Like this one. I have no idea how they compare, though.

Hopefully they can attempt launch this time, the previous two (Monday and today) were scrubbed due to weather. Tomorrow's weather looks good, though, so they probably can. They expect an explosion, but they hope the flight last over 30 seconds before that happens.

That's a good point. It has been possible to use bank transfers for some transactions, and apparently they are bringing that possibility for all transactions later this year, at least in Finland. That should leave those credit/debit card companies outside the loop.

The name is misleading. It's just a one-man project to create a new Linux distro which has nothing to do with EU. Out of all the good European options, they chose to go with an American distro as their base. And to manage their project, they use an American Git provider.

There's also Vipps MobilePay. MobilePay was created by Danish bank Danske Bank. They merged with Vipps to form Vipps MobilePay. It's confusingly enough called MobilePay in Denmark and Finland, and Vipps in Norway and Sweden. It's a mobile app you can use to send money between users and make payments in both online and brick and mortar stores that support it. I think it supports NFC payments in Norway and later this year in Finland.

I submitted it to the site.
