    Yes, they also sold a toilet brush named "VIREN". In Germany this is the plural of virus. And some year ago Danes complained IKEA named carpets and runner after danish towns but ne…

    Yes, the final decision to revert to Microsoft was taken in 2017. But in 2014, the mayor of Munich began an investigation into how to return to Microsoft products. And he was also …

    No, they didn't. That happened for example in Munich. But that is on the other side of Germany. And there is already a joke that MS can't move their german headquarters every time …

    I find it inconvenient that pluggable eSIMS are so hard to get. In my opinion they combine the best of both worlds. You can download profiles without wating for SIM cards and you c…

    Most German universtities have applied at an early stage for a class B network block therefore they have little pressure. When I asked the IT staff at my university years ago, they…

    Whenever you present a certificate to the passport, its current time is updated by the "valid from" value if it's newer then the current time. It's not perfect but if you started y…

    I don't know anything about this particular case, but about these systems in general. They can work without any operator or network connection. They verify that you have a valid pa…

    I'm pretty sure these changes are great for e.g. standard TLS connections. But I don't quite understand what this means for other/custom curves. For example I'm often using brainpo…

    The price before taxes and fees is absolutely not high in Germany. Only if you look at the final price, the statement is true. But if production cost isn't the problem what differe…

    As I said, the former government startet the nuclear phase-out but they also didn't approve any new renewable energy sources for years. Regardless of the type of power plant, it is…

    The article cites "gas and nuclear were labeled as "transitional" energy sources in the taxonomy". So the news itself is correct but the headline abbreviates this very badly.

    As France shut down a lot of their nuclear power plants due to safety reason (a lot of corrosion) people in Germany are really concerned. It is said that due to the price cap on en…

    The cited article says "a bridge for a limited transition period" and not "green energy". So no, they don't want to label it green energy, they only prefer it to other fossil fuels…

    In fact, many believe that storage as hydrogen shows promise. There are many test plants for this right now in areas with a lot of wind and connection to the national gas grid. The…

    I don't know anyone in germany who thinks gas is "clean". New buildings are built with heat pumps. They are considered clean if used with renewable energy. But it's difficult to us…
