  • Jesus.

    As far as I can tell, you are arguing that it won’t become impossible to use a VPN. But no-one has said that it will be, and what I and others are trying to point out, is that VPN usage will become more difficult and rare. The vast majority of people will be restricted from viewing the content that the government objects to, whatever that is.

    If you have anything to say about that rather than repeating the point that, yes, for the knowledgeable, for the tech-literate, for the people with the will and the spare time and the energy, VPN usage will still be available, feel free to. Maybe you think that actually everyone will use a VPN - why? why won’t a massive reduction in marketed options not reduce usage massively? Maybe you think that actually it doesn’t matter - why? why does it not matter that the average person will be unable to get information censored by the government?










  • For your first (long) journeys, definitely plan in advance. And don’t rely on searching at a certain SOC without scoping out the frequency of chargers on your route. Where I am, this would never be a disaster, but it may end up with having to take a long detour, or being stuck on a very slow charger to be able to make progress. I guess you’re in Germany, where I don’t know the situation - probably decent. But there will be less densely populated areas which may still cause issues. In North America there are major routes with no chargers for more than a hundred miles which then requires a lot of care.

    What I’m just getting it is that this level of care is often not necessary once you’re familiar with an area. And then perhaps the impetus for OSS solutions is lowered.
