This is it. This isn't the EU's fault and the post isn't quantifying the benefit of requiring explicit consent in these banners. It's all about efficiency and productivity as if it's all that matters in the world. It doesn't care about users' right to privacy or their right to control their own data.
The negative effects of being sedentary are known, and it requires extra effort in exercise to just offset the health risks of being sedentary during a full workday. It seems obvious and logical to me that if we can be less sedentary while working, it would be meaningfully beneficial to us mentally and physically. The system wants us to work. It's up to us to design how we work in a way that isn't as destructive to us.
I wonder if he (and others) realizes that you can set 100% scale factor, but still increase font size in the applications you use. So you still have way more space available, but you don't necessarily need a magnifying glass and you don't need to strain your eyes if the text is too small for your liking.
Even those are only 2560x1600. At this point, I'd rather take any 16:9 4k monitor, unfortunately. I'd pay out the nose for a good 5k 16:10 monitor though.
We see similar factors in Germany, which I find interesting. To the point where Volkswagen is investing billions into Rivian to save their software side. I've never heard anything good from developers I know who worked at VW or any other German manufacturer.
Is this a joke? I don't see it being any less prevalent than at any time in the past. There are plenty of trustworthy sites and plenty of people know about them. It's all over Reddit for anybody who's interested and it doesn't take a rocket scientist. It's easier now than it's ever been before.
People need to learn consent for people who've been dead for hundreds or thousands of years? Why? In the end, everything we leave behind belongs to our species' history and culture. There's no moral obligation for privacy under these circumstances the same way there is for somebody who's alive now. It just makes it unnecessarily difficult for future historians to put arbitrary restrictions on what they're allowed to read and share.
Maintenance for infrastructure and buildings on solid ground is already expensive and difficult. I can't imagine how bad it would be for a sea-based town or city.
These exist. I have tons of straight and remuxed Blu-ray rips from certain sites that contain extra content and/or commentary or other tracks. If you know the right sites that specifically cater to people who want this stuff, it's not a problem.
There are games I own on Steam where I'll prefer the cracked version because of asinine publisher decisions like forcing a third party launcher that often gets an update which breaks it on the Steam Deck.
The important part is that backwards compatibility became a focus after the Gamecube and it has been ever since. Like, this is just a fact. The Wii supported Gamecube games and controllers. Even the WiiU had the internal capability to run GC games, it just lacked the disc drive for it, and it ran Wii games just fine. The same goes for every single of their portable consoles (GB games work on the GBC, GB and GBC games work on the GBA, GBA games work on the Nintendo DS, etc).
> than 40k€ is around the correct ballpark price for an eGolf I would argue, relatively speaking.
Only if these cars are only intended for the affluent. Then sure. It's totally the right place for them. But I thought the point of EVs was saving our environment. What's the point if only a small fraction of any given population can afford one?
I have a T420 with a Core i5 2500 in great condition which still runs great on Windows 11. Core 2 Duo just didn't have the performance to have longevity. Sandy Bridge and later really do. Windows devices last for ages and it's really weird pretending this is an Apple only thing.
This is my favourite hack for the Steam Deck. By switching my SD cards and the internal SSD to btrfs, the space savings are unreal (easily halving used space). Every game gets its own prefix which means a crazy amount of file duplication.
"Fixing" the food industry isn't possible for as long as they have billions to sink into influencing politics. Trying to find a market or political solution has failed. Full stop. The fact that you're still trying to find some way to make it work is embarrassing and depressing. It's time to attack the problem from another direction, one that will also ensure these companies either go bankrupt, lose relevance and power and/or evolve into a form that's less parasitic and more beneficial to us as a species. GLP-1 can be one tool to help us do that.
You mean the best mobile phone OS that we ever had? Unfortunately disastrously managed and then squandered, but still.
Also, Vista was a mess, but it was ambitious and it laid the foundation for 7 and it was only around for a few years before being replaced. Unlike 10, where Nadella has doubled down on the worst choices and even worse ones were made going into 11 (HOW THE FUCK DO YOU SET DEFAULT APPLICATIONS NOW, THIS IS FUCKING NONSENSE).
Ballmer's tenure started with XP and eventually gave us Windows 7. Nadella gave us 10 and 11. Though 10 was largely developed under Ballmer before its initial launch, it's been under Nadella's stewardship ever since. I'll take Ballmer, thanks.
Erm, the US, EU, China and others do this exact same thing. I guess it can be construed as a shakedown, but it's pretty normal globally.
The context you conveniently left out:
> Earlier this month, the minister had already indicated that the iPhone 16 could not be sold in the country due to the pending TKDN certification, which requires that 40 percent of a product’s content be sourced locally. This certification is crucial for Apple as it is linked to the company’s commitment to establish research and development facilities in Indonesia, known as the Apple Academy
Nobody said anything about people looking or talking different. The defining features of the Chinese government, such as its authoritarian nature and its values that are completely opposed to most Western values, have nothing to do with these two things.
As a user who does have need for kernel access, because it's my god damn system and not yours, Microsoft's or anybody else's, I don't want it locked down.
It's called security in depth. That means you don't need to prevent all kernel access for users, because there are layers of defense.
I've noticed that a surprising number of people here on HN are in favour of locking down Windows and preventing any kernel access at all to Windows users. It reeks of the "think of the children" arguments.
Only if you're unwilling to understand why. I'm neutral so far and the BBC article conveniently doesn't give any details on why the offer was rejected. It's perfect for painting the people on strike in a bad light.
I feel like that's too over-confident. They'll just do what corporations have been doing for decades. Invest in PR that paints this as protecting the American way and American values, and all the other nonsense corporations will use to convince voters to vote against their best interests.
