ewg4345h43on Kubescape – tool for testing if Kubernetes is deployed securely

Kubernetes is way too overengineered. It should be as simple as docker compose.

and Kubernetes also added StatefulSets for things like database, but all kubernetes gurus don't recommend to use it in Cloud, but use databases provided by the cloud providers :facepalm because, well, it's too complicated...

There is a EU directive that require certain guarantees from the member states. Citation from wikipedia:

Directive 94/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 1994 on deposit-guarantee schemes[11] requires all member states to have a deposit guarantee scheme for at least 90% of the deposited amount, up to at least 20,000 euros per person. On October 7, 2008, the Ecofin meeting of EU's ministers of finance agreed to increase the minimum amount to 50,000. ...

Many people though like you they are protected in the EU... Until Cyprus declared in 2013 they will confiscate money even from accounts with less than 100.000 EURO due to their financial crisis in 2013. Later, they reverted that decision, because the EU was scarred by the consequences and decided to help Cyprus overcome the crisis.

Official inflation is 4% (!!!) now in Germany, but the real inflation is usually 2.5 times higher than the official, so it is probably 10%.

Gas prices increased by 4% in just last 3 months:

ewg4345h43on M1 Icestorm cores can still perform well

Yes, you can throttle the CPU, but then the CPU scores in Benchmarks will be lower and that's not the case... (Benchmarks are collected from different machines). So it looks the Macs consume pretty much the same amount of power.

ewg4345h43on M1 Icestorm cores can still perform well

I don't think that this is correct. My laptop, Lenovo P14S GEN 2 AMD with 5850U CPU has 65 WATT USB-C power adapter. Half of that power will be consumed by monitor (4K and 500 cd/m²) and you write above that the whole system should consume 65 WATT... This is not possible at all, because there is only 30-35 WATT left for the whole system except monitor.

Both chips are produced at TSMC factories, so both have the same meaning. We do not compare here two different manufacturers.

AMD 5850U beats Apple M1 in multicore performance by 29% having the same power consumption (15 Watt):

but is 19% slower in single core performance. However, if you consider that AMD uses 7nm and Apple 5nm technology to build their processors, AMD is a lot better.

ewg4345h43on Apple and Google must allow other in-app payment systems, Korean law declares

Great news! Every country should do the same! and each OS should also allow external app stores.

ewg4345h43on Away from Exceptions: Errors as Values

It looks like GO developers never heard about "not repeat yourself", because after almost each call in GO, you write boilerplate error checking code... So you end up writing at least 2 times more lines of code.
