The right to repair it doesn't help in the medium or long term if they're removing the training to do so, or the supply of spare parts, I think McFlurry machines are rather lower risks and lower tolerances than heart & lung machines

"actual extremist and left socialism fuck"? Are you aware of what those words mean? I can't see anything except pure capitalist greed *on either side* of this dispute

There's nothing in any opensource license I know of about being "fair". You either meet the license obligations, or you don't.

For the partially sighted, 'fake' engine noise on an EV can literally be a lifesaver, and some version of it is mandatory in many countries for this reason. If you've got to fake a noise anyway, might as well be a good one

What does the availability of an electric version have to do with the (accurate) facts posted rebutting the statement "Environmental and safety laws have made is close to impossible to sell a new ICE car below that amount in Europe"? For the hard of reading and overly defensive, ICE = Internal Combustion Engine

In Europe this is almost certainly a GDPR violation to pass on personal details, and dissembling my phone to do anything other than fix the fault they're contracted to fix is all sorts of illegal too

Something like the Gemini PDA? Or is that too small?

They failed to pivot well when the pandemic finally abated enough to reduce reliance on their service. Many online-events companies have gone the same way

Why would you use a remote xterm rather than just ssh? Seems a rather artificial example - plus very few folks use xterm anymore for heavy terminal sessions, there are way better terminals

> communicate between apps and sub-apps via the DB This is an explicit anti-pattern for microservices, since they're now very much not interdependently deploy-able since they all need to be upgraded to work with the new schema (where necessary) then the schema update done, then the new functionality enabled. (Yes, there are many functionalities that can be done with less schema sensitivity, but we're talking about a general case). The idea of microservices is that they are sufficiently decoupled that they can be updated, potentially hundreds of times per day, without consumers or peers needing to care unless they make use of new functionality. There are performance drawbacks to high levels of decoupling, so just like database normalisation you break the platonic ideal where your architecture and application require it.

Hopefully other countries will see the cash cow and start milking too... It's possibly the closest we will get to Apple paying a fair share of taxes

These devices are build to avoid as much security as possible. Recent high profile court cases suggest they aren't reliable, but security gets broken sooner rather than later. I suspect a scalpel blade through the USB data tracks would stop it dead, but you shouldn't have to do that to get some privacy.

Supreme court concluded this was indeed the case. Same as the TSA don't, though a different justification

...and there are a *lot* of legislation on car safety and driver training, plus things like drink-driving, speed limits etc, all aimed to reduce this. Like most things, many countries are way ahead of America in terms of car safety standards, and American driver training is some of the most cursory and brief in the world, but it is still there, and it periodically gets updated in order to try to reduce the deaths.

Japan, when it was suggested social distancing and masks might help, immediately started wearing more masks (they already wear them if they have a cold), and social distanced. No need for laws, no mad protests. Just social responsibility.
