IT requires it, I grudingly accept it. But having to reach for a second, battery powered device, usually every time it's urgent and then dealing with microfuck authenticator that sometimes sends the notification, and sometimes not, is frustrating and also produces quite some cost in lost labor every day across hundreds of employees. Nobody adds that up and compares it to the potential cost of a big cybersecurity emergency every few years. But I bet, security wouldn't always result in being the cheaper option.

It's hard to sue from an ecuadorian prison.

[...] potentially years' worth of photos and videos. Yes, "potentially", if you throw them away by not downloading and backing up all photos and videos that are tied to your iCloud Account. Apart from that, Apple's family sharing sucks. You can't even set custom time limits - if my kids asks for more time, I can give it 15 minutes (usually not enough) or 1 hour (usually too much). Same if multiple people use an ipad. Can't even hide or password protect my porn collection in the files app.

so there is a significant difference between 2k and 4k TVs, even if it's not because of the resolution. 8K for 2-2,5D content ob the other hand is useless, no one produces it, and it makes hardly any sense but it secerely increases production costs.

they'll blame tarifs and increased production costs. Sure, they can develop their own computing platform until 2028, but then they'll get feedback from car dealers that people ask for carplay and won't buy their cars. I'll bet that they'll reverse that decision probably pretty soon after rollout. At least for me, carplay is - apart from enough trunk space - the most important feature when shopping for a new car. I also hope for them that there new "computing platform" will be developed towards a communication standard with other cars and roadside units, because that's foreseeable coming.

That's why, if you read it, you'll find the word-combination "pending regulatory approval" in the summary.

Gasoline pumps at a gas stations do need eletricity to work, though. But, otoh, most privately owned solar inverters seem to be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats - it's probably only a matter of time until some russian hacker tries to sabotage European networks by switching a lot of them on and off st thr same time.

sure, he can delay the inevitable, but this will only harden the fall for Germany. But, nevermind, in 10 years he'll long be out of office and enjoy his healthy politicians retirement. Everything for today's votes.

Nah, why would I want to put a phone in a back pocket? Can't sit down then, it's uncomfortable, makes for a blocky ass and it's prone to fall out. Front pocket it is.

Even if Microsoft could mine more office-formats - i don't think they should be allowed to do it.

I don't use MS-Office - and you never know when you open or save something in other formats, if it will appear the same in that proprietary word format. I find it to be insolent, when officials or governments release documents in a proprietary, commercial format (or using proprietary fonts, for that matter). China does the same now - maybe that will result in a push towards open, standartized formats.

it must be true and unbiased, right?

Another one would be: "whatever floats your boat". MLK is important mostly in US-History, a.k.a. for 5% of the world's population. I guess, at least the other 95% should not be banned from having fun with him. People will always be offended by someone mocking their (false, for the one mocking them) idols, be it some cult-founders like jesus or mohammed, civil rights celebrities or President cheeto-lips. It's a good question if it's better to have instruments for censorship or fake media galore, where uneducated people take that for real. But I also think, that especially long dead people should not be free for all to ridicule.
