> Requiring products to be labelled, and treating mislabelling as fraud, could mostly solve this. There are too many manufacturers to hunt. Basically USB-IF needs to stop almost al…

There is actually a law being made called Digital Fairness Act at the moment. However the working group hasn't finalized it yet. Note that there are competing political groups and …

A good engineer isn't a godlike entity who knows all. They know when to bring in assembly and when to be satisfied with C / C++ / Rust compilers and steer the compiler. Assembly ha…

It is more complicated than that. MSYS2 isn't just Cygwin. It has different environments. MSYS environment is just Cygwin and it uses Itanium IIRC for C and C++ non-Win32 calls sin…

I think TDF tries to push a wrong narrative here for their lack of engineering and funding. Competitive products like Google Docs, WPS or Euro Office solve proprietary file format …

Indeed. My primary issue is requiring a Google or Apple blessed phone for the protocol that is supposed to replace the American alternative with the EU one. If they push strongly t…

I do have quite stringent non-tracking settings enabled in my browsers, and I do get occasional captcha or TOTP request.However, I never got completely denied a login with PayPal. …

I don't get why you pointed out that, to be honest. I'm not a merchant. I am a consumer. As a consumer I would like to avoid Master Card / Visa as much as possible and also giving …

Paying with Paypal is as easy as logging in. With Wero/iDeal you always need a phone or a code. People trust PayPal more too.

> Not because agents are worse at coding that[sic] humans. And then the whole article shows tangible reasons where the agents are truly worse at code than humans. Code never is jus…

If you're also happy getting paid for it, then the company will just stop paying you. If you rely on such income to have a visa, you'll 100% sure to accept that you're forced into …

That's the last thing in the list and the looping phase of catch-22. Without providing the other earlier items, it simply doesn't make sense to make Windows a Linux distro. NT is s…

Processor's software becomes no different than a switch, a transfer medium in the network when you use the smartcard capabilities of the EU ID card. Digital signatures and cryptogr…

They do with DST.

Some architecture and some implementation details and sometimes purely economic reality: 1. NT is a hybrid kernel. Windows runs many drivers in userspace, if not in a limited kerne…

Macbook Neos are limited by whatever extra A-chips Apple has. They are okay for very simple office tasks. If you need something like Intel Core5 level performance though, PCs are s…

Businesses with volume licensing agreements and Kiosk manufacturers can get the licenses pretty easy. Then can even negotiate a lower cost per device.

NT is a better kernel for consumer systems compared to Linux unlike first generation Edge which was a worse browser compared to Chrome.

They do still force the volume licensors with their bullshit. However IT admins are used to dealing with Microsoft's bullshit and they can find ways to automate de-enshitification.…

Not so good at reading comprehension, are we?

Forget about web development. All profession-specific software except web and app programming still runs best on Windows. Engineering, simulation, city planning, accounting, comple…

Yeah sorry I was using the wrong page and outdated numbers from the infographic I have saved. Here is the picture my numbers came from: https://www.allianz-pro-schiene.de/wp-conten…

No such contempt has one against another in Western culture as much as politicians have against their constituents, and trendsetter companies against the cultural heritage they hel…

I am a daily user of S-Bahn. I know 2 alternative routes from every single station from home to work. I even started to memorize their departure times. DB prepares you for the wors…

Look at how much Switzerland spends per capita vs Germany. €477 vs €115. And Swiss kept their infrastructure well unlike Germans. source: https://www.allianz-pro-schiene.de/themen/…
