Oh yes, I am also sad and worried about all those poor corporations that cannot lock me into their service and prevent competition as easily as they used to do.

You can make a blocklist with hashes of the malicious URLs to solve this problem.

From what I understand, (non-enhanced) safe browsing uses this trick, but it is implemented in a way that allows Google access to data in certain cases: there are very short hashes that allow for false positives, and potential matches are sent to Google servers for confirmation.

How does this enhanced safe browsing work exactly, technically? From what I understand, "vanilla" safe browsing works in part with a client-side blocklist, to preserve privacy better. Is ESB the same? What information reaches Google's servers exactly? Why must it reach Google's servers, and why can't the same feature be implemented in a privacy-preserving way? Wouldn't this problem be solved by a client-side database of malicious URLs, synced with a server?

If someone can force automakers to do it, it's the European Union. Let's hope.

Remote access is not a minor thing. It's a must-have.

Says who? It might be part of your workflow, but that's far from a must-have, let's be objective.
The mere fact that Windows is the market leader and doesn't have remote access is proof enough.

If that's the reason, I imagine no one logs or communicates the data outside the airport, and any personal information is deleted immediately after checking that a passenger is not on the no-fly list. Right?

I would like to nominate R and Matlab for elimination. Thanks.

Does this include games with loot boxes? And Magic the card game?

I work in a university. I get paid by the state to produce new scientific knowledge. This agreement seems fair to me, apart from journal publishers and other leeching middlemen. Maybe we should work on extending this system to other kinds of knowledge production as well.

No, rhey never had E2E encryption. Exactly like Google Drive and Microsoft Onedrive. If you like privacy (and who doesn't?), self-host Owncloud, Nextcloud or the like.

Precisely. It's 33 M$ in a country with population 60M, and unemployment rate around 10%. They are barely enough to buy a USB charging cable for each unemployed person. Good luck.

May I introduce to you my dear friend Ublock Origin?

Italy here; VAT is 22% on most items, with some exceptions, most notably 4% on food.

Computing one's net salary is complicated and depends on many factors such as family bonuses and regional taxes, but for instance a calculator returns 20k gross -> 16.4k net, 30k gross -> 22.3k net, 50k gross -> 32.3k net, 100k gross -> 57.4k net.

Basic healthcare and a minimum of retirement benefits are included and you don't need to pay for them separately.

Nah, if someone sells a cable that doesn't work right, they should be considered responsible for the fires. What if someone takes that $2 cable and sells it for $20 instead? Do you expect people to have a degree in electronic engineering to tell a bargain from a rip-off? There should be regulations to prevent the sale of unsafe equipment.

No luck east of the Atlantic. Some firms in Europe have tried "give-us-our-data-or-pay" schemes, including a famous newspaper in Italy, but the idea is considered illegal under GDPR. If a firm doesn't *need* those data for technical reasons, then they shouldn't be mandatory, period. And the paid opt-out makes it pretty clear that they are not needed.
