You misunderstood. It asks for your real name and your identification number.

In China, 1gb cost 1RMB (1/7 USD).

I agree, the internet was still quite young in those days, I’m quite sure I wont be so open with internet access with my children (they are 7 and 2).

what kind of idiot parent lets an underage child on the internet unrestricted.

I’m 35, and I have been online pretty much unrestricted since I’m 11/12ish. But yes, I saw some shits.

Oneplus used to be good too,

On that note, Xiaomi also used to be good. In fact, xiaomi’s initial popularity is for the ease of unlocking and rooting. Once it gain popularity, it started to lock down, much like the path OnePlus is on.

Been meaning to, but havent try yet.

I actually think Chinese EVs are quite ugly.

Once your company became big, it is mandatory to have a state appointed party secretary on board.

So yes, in a sense BYD is state run.

I was expecting some sort of hovercar …

Yup, it is quite ideal for inner-city traffic.

Complicated, within the city limits is quite good, many malls have charger in their parkings and many solar charger parkings are appearing, however long distance driving is still not ideal (either no charging stations or charging stations are broken), people mainly purchase EVs as backup car.

Tina, is that you?
