@grkn Bildigim kadariyla direk email adresini hicbir zaman hotellerle paylasmiyorlardi, eger email bile gittiyse gercekten saglam patlamis gibi

Booking saglam patlamis. Paris’te tuttugum otel odasi icin Brezilya numarasindan Whatsapp mesaji geldi, odemeyi suraya aliyoruz diye. Ad soyad, email, telefon, otelin adi, kalacagim tarihler hepsi dogruydu.

@bcinarli I had the same issue! just went to the store without waiting for the confirmation and it was already there 😅 their notification system is so behind. also if you need to reach them, you can try Facebook DM.

Probably I’ll never order anything from MediaMarkt Germany (oh god they don’t even have an account I can tag) as market pickup. While ordering it was saying same day pickup and the other day shipping to home. So since the branch is close by, I thought I can order in the morning then pickup in the afternoon. After I finalized my order, the order pickup updated as “pick up in two days” In the evening of the order I received an email that my order is on route to market for pickup Two days passed, almost evening of the promised pickup day and still haven’t received any information when I can pick up. 🤣

@libertas_HH Hey man, do you have any video of their car or the location? We’ve had similar people run off without paying around Brandenburg and want to cross-check if it’s the same people.

Bauernhöfe verkaufen ihre Produkte oft auf reiner Vertrauensbasis. Man nimmt sich etwas und bezahlt ehrlich. Das funktioniert nur, wenn Anstand und Respekt vorhanden sind. Doch einige wenige missbrauchen dieses Vertrauen immer wieder. Am Ende leiden die Bauern unseres Vertrauens darunter und solche Konzepte verschwinden. Das Video stammt von einem solchen Hof, wie er auch bei uns anzufinden ist.

@levelsio This is spot on, if you’re still around, try Heytea, it’s a good example of the new generation.

Grok puts China in 2025 at about Japan in 1970 So just before their boom to high quality and world dominance: "In summary, China has largely moved past the "purely low-quality" phase (like Japan's 1950s) and is in active ascent (like Japan's 1970s), with full reputation reversal likely in the coming decade if trends continue—especially as brands like BYD, Huawei, and Xiaomi gain more international traction. The journey isn't complete, but the momentum is strong in priority areas."

Japan was famous for extremely low quality goods, until they were suddenly not, China is the same: "Japan was historically known for producing low-quality goods, particularly in the immediate post-World War II era through the 1950s and into the 1960s In the late 1940s and 1950s, "Made in Japan" often signified cheap, shoddy, or imitation products, similar to how "Made in China" is sometimes perceived today. Japanese exports, such as toys, textiles, transistor radios, and ceramics, were mass-produced quickly to rebuild the war-devastated economy, prioritizing quantity and low cost over durability. This led to a widespread international reputation for poor quality, with goods frequently seen as unreliable or knockoffs The perception began shifting in the 1960s as Japan adopted advanced quality management techniques, influenced by American experts like W. Edwards Deming and Joseph M. Juran. Japanese manufacturers embraced concepts like Total Quality Management (TQM), Kaizen (continuous improvement), and statistical process control, focusing on defect prevention rather than inspection."

@SomethingOnSnow @staskulesh I would love to have Li Mega in Germany as well, our kids loved it when we had a change ride in China, perfect family car.

@staskulesh Yup I spent months in China. Now there’s not a single car in America I want to buy. Just gotta wait out the loser government until we can buy a Li Mega.

This post has a strong ‘I told you so’ vibe. I’m a tech enthusiast and dislike brands and corporations. It aligns with my perspective that money is hard to earn and shouldn’t be easily spent. Some traditional brands claim to be struggling in the current market. But I’m part of that market, which means they need to work harder to earn my business. Especially when it comes to expensive items such as cars. There is a booming EV market in China, but the EU slapped up to 45% tariffs on them, and the US went with 100%. As a consumer, I feel this is unfair. I will not part with my hard-earned money just because bureaucrats told me to buy local. I would rather go car-free for another year - use public transportation and Uber - than pay $50k for an already outdated, uninteresting traditional European vehicle. Call it a personal strike. I will wait them out.

@vanadu Epey zaman aliyor reis ya bu tarz firsatlari ilk bulanin senin olman lazim, ilk 5-10 siparis yollaniyor, internette paylasildiktan sonra genellikle iptal oluyor

@levelsio @zhumingh I am surprised hear that when we were in Beijing most of station have translation gadget to communicate, even sometimes some locals offered help us to translate as well.

@zhumingh None of the subway station staff or any of the taxi drivers or even most hotel staff speaks a single word of English in Beijing today and yesterday

🇨🇳 Okay got Alipay to work Alipay is nice because it acts as a proxy to use other apps like Didi, and Didi won't let me sign up directly, so via Alipay it auto logs you in (kinda like OAuth) Also Meituan app lets me order food from anywhere and apparently it can arrive via a delivery robot Other handy app is Baidu Translate The challenge here is that every Western app like Google Translate, ChatGPT, Google Maps, ChatGPT etc doesn't work at all or doesn't work most of the times, so you kinda have to use the Chinese apps, like DeepSeek Of all my eSIMs my Revolut Global seems to work best, it lets me SOMEHOW open most Western sites fast with no firewall, while Airalo is extremely spotty switches to E (Edge) all the time, I also tried Airalo Hong Kong thinking I could use the Great Firewall hack but that didn't work Whatever @revolut Global eSIM is doing it works amazing in China Yesterday in the subway none of our eSIMs worked though, like we had reception but both of our phones didn't get internet to work. Also nobody spoke any English (which I understand, we're in China) and nobody can read English either So essentially we were illiterate (can't read anything), with no internet, nobody to help us. We tried getting a taxi but they wouldn't take us either because we couldn't communicate Again 99.9% of Chinese don't speak a single word of English, even in 2025, which is OK, it just makes things harder Calling the hotel with my Dutch phone SIM for €5/min ended up being the solution because they could talk to the taxi drivers So yes everything kinda works now! What I see with these travel blogs btw if I write it's difficult I get a lot of replies like "lol fucking n00b!" Which is easy to say but again it's not so easy here But that's also the fun part of China, especially after COVID tourism here from the West appears to have dropped rapidly and Western-Chinese relations have deteriorated rapidly after realizing what a threat China can be in its fast technological development etc. That makes it more interesting as a traveler though because you're the only foreigner almost everywhere I will keep you blogging what I experience next

I can set some aside Here to meet builders in the generative media space, so feel free to reach out to me if you wanna meet

@SalVip76 @AXS_UK You need to have eventim account on this email just found out that as well

@AXS_UK wth! Trying to get #Radiohead tickets and get this. After all the ticket debacles when will you guys learn

@TweetsOfSumit @volvocars yeah that sucks. that’s what i’m scared of if i ever leave tesla. nothing beats their software :( even if the car is great, bad infotainment just ruins the whole thing. hope they fix it quick

So my 2026 @volvocars has major infotainment issues (it uses Google Automotive). Will bring it back to the dealer for the second time in 2 weeks of owning it. Have I made a mistake in choosing Volvo as Google doesn’t seem to give af?

@Geostr101 @MimMusMet Nisan ayinda Seal Excellence stoklari tuketmek icin 38k altina satiyorlardi mydealz.de/deals/byd-seal…

@MimMusMet Bir de üstüne %27,8 gümrük vergisi var, hadi KDV’deki %1 onların olsun sadece gümrüğü düşüp %10ÖTV eklesek 35.719 Euro yani 1.560.000 TL ediyor

Gün geçmiyor ki BYD Türkiye yeni bir skandalla karşımıza çıkmasın… %10 ÖTV’den satılsın diye motorunu 160 kW ile kısıtladığı yeni tek motorlu BYD Seal’ın Design paket olduğunu iddia etseler de Almanya sitesine göre manuel bagaj kapağı, 18 inç jantlar, hafızasız koltuk ve aynalar ile satılan bu paket aslında en alt giriş seviyesi olan Comfort paketi. Gerçekte Design pakette Excellence pakete göre eksik olan tek şeyin Head up Display olması gerekiyor. Bu haliyle Almanya’da 46.990 Euro’ya satılan araçtan %27,8 gümrük vergisini düşüp %10 ÖTV eklediğimiz zaman 40.445 Euro’ya yani 1.760.000 TL’ya geliyor. Türkiye’den aldığı teşviklerle aslında bu aracı 1.700.000 TL’nın bile altına satması gereken @BYD_Turkiye ise 1.925.000 TL liste fiyatı belirlediği aracı lütfedermiş gibi lansmana özel 1.850.000 TL’ya satıyor.

@deniz_ixir @onedio Cok temiz is 🙏 amerika’da saatlik 65-70$ rahat alirsin reis.

@onedio Bu da yaptığım kaynak

Mahfi Eğilmez: "Bir sanayici arkadaşımız 'Kaynakçı arıyorum 100 bin TL net ücret veriyorum ve gelmiyor.' dedi."

@levelsio Waiting for ultima online version 🙃

So beautiful 🥹

@TimKipchumba @typesfast Even if you bring production to America, costs will still be higher because of wages, regulations, materials etc. One way or another, it’s the consumer who ends up paying.

@typesfast It’s American consumers that will pay for it in the medium term. And hopefully the same company might now stop international sourcing and look inside America

Just met an American business who's customs duties owed will go from $8M last year to $95M with the new tariffs. Brutal.

@TweetsOfSumit +1! But I’m curious—how could China or the EU impose tariffs on Tesla when they have local factories?

Agree. Hurting Elon will be the best form of leverage for companies that are hit by tariffs. Grabbing my popcorn 🍿

@vanadu Ek tavsiye, eger cin uzerinden aktarmali ucuyorsan, layover suresini 3-4 gune cekip Pekin gorulmeli :)

@gkntan @engintezcan Hemen aliexpress veya temudaki dukkanlara haber verelim eklenmesi icin :)

@engintezcan Kendi sitelerindeki çoğu Levels modeli de tükenmiş görünüyor. Yarın satıldığı için mi tükenmiş yoksa başka nedenden mi, öğrenmeye çalışırım.

Cem Yılmaz’a kargodan parçalanmış gelen aydınlatmadan kim satın almak ister? Bugün Cem Yılmaz’ın kargodan kırık geldiği için sosyal medyadan sitem ettiği ve size ders olsun dediği 43 bin TL’lik masa lambasının stokları tükenmiş :)) Beymen’i bilmem de, bize ders olsun.

@vanadu Her gun alamadik ama zamani geldiginde cocuklari mutlu eder umarim 😊 x.com/yasin/status/9…
