  1. It's Chinese. Low quality, poor brand support, carburettor. 10K tops. Probably less.
  2. He is 12 years old. Something second hand and cheap. At that age there is a reasonable chance it will get lost, broken or stolen. Haven't his relatives got a cast off phone somewhere? I haven't bought a new phone in the last 15 years. I use my wife's cast off phones.
  3. I watched a vlog recently where Nico Rosberg interviewed Alain Prost. He said that one of the ways he gained a competitive advantage was by mixing compounds on his F1 cars. On certain clockwise circuits, for example, he might choose to have three medium compounds and a hard rear left. I think Alain was fairly unusual in this approach but there you go.
  4. Is it four wheel drive? What is the vehicle? What are the tires and their sizes?
  5. I worked in programming in the late 1970s in Burroughs Algol. The programs were entered using punch cards and debugging of programs was done in multiple 24 hour cycles. A hard disk drive (multiple disks) was about the size of a washing machine. 1MB of RAM was cutting edge stuff.
  6. The headline figures are not real. Because the system does not work you have: Multiple applications by the same person Multiple acknowledgements and approvals to the same person. It works the same way with call centres. If they are understaffed they will say they have 100,000 callers a day. But actually they have 10,000 callers a day calling, on average, ten times to get a response. My guess is nobody knows the actual number of people approved under this process.
