> I'm not nefariously collecting their social security number.

In which case, the GDPR doesnt even apply to you! Only if you collect/store PII the GDPR starts to apply!

> Thanks to the GDPR I cannot do this without the stupid cookie warning popup.

Again, the GDPR has nothing in it about cookie banners.

> the GDPR is clumsy lawmaking

It isnt, people are just complaining about it without ever actually reading it or doing much research.

No need for any "big conspiracy" when nobody is reading the actual law and instead everyone just copies everyone else.

No, you dont! Only if you use third party services to do that or collect data thats not essential to your business. Its just coloquially called a "Cookie Banner", but the laws DONT require you to put up one as soon as you set one cookie!

> do away with the worthless cookie banners requirement

They wont, since they were never "required" nor are they part of the GDPR

> cut some generous but reasonable slack to small organizations

They will, thats the whole reason they are changing it!

How often are you charging your phone in sub-freezing temperatures?

> low-price alternative to mac mini

This starts at 1099$ per the article, so the mac mini is the low-price alternative here.

Sorry, but a Chrome developer complaining about 1.4MB being too "massive" is just the funniest thing ever! xD

They didn't self censor, they had to change the name because most tourists behaved like assholes. Stealing the road signs, parking anywhere, walking into peoples gardens, etc.

Also the road safety sign, while a funny combination, is pretty standard and can be found all over Austria.

> The gov't hasn't allocated enough for maintenance for several decades, and we're paying the price now.

Ah yes, the german approach.

> and that other Charleton Heston movie with zombies that I can’t remember

The Omega Man probably. The first adaptation of Mathesons "I am Legend". Though some people might disagree about the "Zombie" part.

> This keeps being postponed.

> there’s no “this phone is a PC“ offering that is really viable.

> I wish there were serious efforts.

You should really google "Samsung Dex".

> The best middle ground is some kind of solution that allows the security team to "manage" personal devices in some way.

Oh that is the "best" "middle" ground, is it? Are you sure?

Why should anyone bring their personal device just because the company is to cheap to buy a few phones and then have them basically owned by their IT anyways? Do you realize how crazy that is?

You might want to think about that one again.

Every SMB can afford a few cheap phones for its employees, MFA apps dont need flagship hardware. If a company can't, maybe it shouldn't be in business anyway.

nextcloud.com comes to mind.

Genuine question: why not just use a managed pdu and be done with it? No need to even get up and go to the DC/Rack.

So you are sad that the Mac mini isn't a bog standard HPE/Dell/etc Server?

Boy will you be pissed when you find out about laptops, phones, game consoles and basically every other compute form factor.

Might want to look into rackable Mac Pros though!

Well, calling it the same area is a bit of a stretch by the BBC, 2-4 km distance here in Vienna is quite a lot and more like the other side of the city, definitly different districts. "Lived in the same city" is probably more accurate.

Though Hitler, Stalin, Trotzki and Tito did have something in common: they all visited the same coffee house, Cafe Central.

Which is still open today, unchanged, now more famous for its delicious cakes and long lines of tourists though.

> clunky NVMe enclosure

We really are living in the future if people are using these words in combination.

Though compared to this new mini a lot will feel clunky. Any HDD enclosure is certainly larger.

Check your contract, you are probably just limited by your provider

Oh wow, this will be a gamechanger on rsnapshot, restic, etc. Basically every backup workload - can't wait!

Even grifters seem to run out of new ideas...

> why do other car companies not have those cheap cars?

They do! The chinese for a while (hence tariffs), the europeans are releasing theirs right now.

> there is no evidence such a thing can be done yet without losing money on every sale.

> Why isn’t any other car company doing it?

You mean except all the chinese companys doing it right now?

Or all the european carmakers releasing theirs as we speak?

See america? That's why you need unions!

More of a Kozel fan then, are you?

Love the code block styling - nothing beats some amber glow!

Just today at a shop I saw a self checkout terminal crash and reboot - featuring the old AMI boot screen and a nice POST beep. Made me wonder what ancient hardware might hide behind these modern cases and UIs.

> She is appointed by the parliament, similar to how kings in the past were appointed by a council of lords.

Do you ... not know what a parliament is?

I always wondered why both Sony and MS stuck with discs instead of ie. SDCards like Nintendo - with up to 1TB in size and faster speeds that seems to be a way better fit?
