I agree. I am a paying Le Chat Pro user, really rooting for a European alternative. But the quality difference between Mistral and the frontier labs is growing too big to ignore. I…

To be clear this is only for the standalone Copilot chat or app and website; not for the “Copilot” services integrated into Office 365 etc.

Not the same, but there are data centers that feed their excess heat into district heating, e.g. here: https://news.infomaniak.com/en/infomaniak-inaugurates-a-revo...

I think the big difference is that Google is free: everyone is using Google because it doesn’t cost anything and for a long time was the best search engine out there. I am sure tha…

It can be tried here: https://publicai.co/ The model and training data sets are on Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/swiss-ai

Yes, this statement is so old and wrong that it gets boring real quick… You can just look at the roads of any country that has the same tariffs for U.S. and European cars and you w…

This is a very shady website and thus not a good source for legal advice of any kind… they call themselves “Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz” (German society for data protecti…

The German BSI (Federal Office for IT Security) quotes the advisory from CrowdStrike (which is behind their customer login portal) as saying you need to roll-back to snapshots prio…

I don’t know… I think a very big reason why people don’t take taxis is because they are very expensive especially for longer rides. This seems like a thing robo taxis might change.…

I do not read this court decision like that at all: the point of contention there seems to be that the customer was just sent a link to a webpage (where the contractual terms can b…

I don’t know… the overall tone seems to be a bit too negative for me here. I have used Nextcloud at home for years now without issues and we also used it at a large university wher…

This thread is an interesting example on how not very well defined terms can let people talk past each other… the original poster suggested “let’s try to be more like France, where…

There are lots of other ways credit card companies can make money: - Higher interchange fees when you purchase something outside of the EEA - Currency conversion when you buy somet…

The answer is in the original Stripe article: The merchant pays much higher fees when you pay with your US credit card than when you pay with a EEA credit card because the intercha…

I don’t know. Switzerland works the same way and they have votes more often than every 6 months. (Also the average German will vote more often than just every 4 years due to Europe…

Great idea. However, I think you need to be careful in the VAT area not to overpromise: I selected “selling from Switzerland to Switzerland” and your calculator quoted a VAT of 0%,…

Yes, that also immediately focussed my attention… We have friends from Iceland and I have since added Reykjavik to my weather app — to feel good that weather there is even more mis…

Which you are wrong about in this case, however, because this was a people’s initiative brought by various health- and youth-related NGOs and actually opposed by the majority of me…

I want to manage my large-ish photo collection (a few thousand photos and small videos) using a tool where I can assign keywords, quickly iterate through them and delete unwanted p…

They seem to count CDNs as "hosting providers" and yes, without the necessary legal frameworks in place, this is also a problem if that leaks user data: https://www.technologylawdi…

I don‘t seem to get the point of this comment, but the reason for this is that the EU Commission has assigned this project to Deutsche Telekom and SAP, two German companies (as is …
