The proposed EU age verification app is a good deal less intrusive than any of the nasty mechanisms that some social media is already employing. Most of those are a privacy nightmare. The EU app, in contrast:
- Site / App operator does not get your identity, only a proof of age.
- Government does not get to see which sites you visit.
- Actual verification takes place once, and whatever ID you use does not need to be stored (and can't be subsequently stolen)
- App is open source, so the workings can be verified.

My cranky post was about a Samsung. I didn't mention the brand because I assumed their all that way.

I bought my first-ever "smart" TV this year, and the interface is horrible. The hardware is fine, but everything else is designed for people pushing stuff, rather than for a user.

I thought we lured them all onto Facebook then ran for the hills?

Maybe the jacket has a kevlar fiber for support?

Of course they would do that.

Solar without storage means no electricity after about 6 PM
Nope.
It means electricity from the grid after 6PM.

Stupid moron.

A CPU, GPU or the fan in a rack: does not care if the power comes from Solar or Nukes or what ever.

Adjusting to add partial countries like south India, we get here:

"""
When adjusting the calculation to transition from whole-country data to exact regional sub-divisions, the total population living within the ±15 latitude equatorial band increases significantly to approximately 2 to 2.3 billion people.
"""

And how many people do actually live at the equator +/- 15 degrees latitude for which solar is ideal?

Dumbass.

What do you think why China is not caring at all about US tariffs?

Asia buys Chinas solar stuff like little kids by hot waffles around Christmas.

You know what the problem on this planet is? STUPID PEOPLE like you.

Google Gemini:
"estimate please how many people live around the equator +/- 15 degrees latitude. Count whole countries, not important to be exact by latitude."

Answer: "
An estimated 1.6 to 2 billion people live within the band of ±15 degrees latitude around the equator. This accounts for roughly 20% to 25% of the global population.
"

Oh, the fucking article is about AI ... learn to use it, or get lost.

Actually all current Socialist countries are democracies.
Most communist countries: are democracies.

Capitalism, created Communism and Socialism, that is basically the only good thing it did.

It doesn't really matter what it is but that shouldn't stop us from being critical of where capitalism has gotten us.
Into reckless resource plunder, wars and rape and pillage and: the climate crisis.

Tell that the people in:
- Vietnam, you killed nearly 10 million people there farking moron
- Laos, death toll unknown, the country did not recover yet from the Vietnam war, the most bombed country in human history, you put more bombs on tiny Laos, then the total amount of bombs in WWII - farking idiot.
- Korea
- Irak, two times
- Iran
- Venezuela
- Chile
- Iran / Iraq war you started
- Bolivia
- Argentina
- Paraguay
- Uruguay

Oh: Philippines. And you tried Thailand too, so lucky you failed.

Except for Stalin and Pol Pot who murdered millions, the other communist regimes had starvations "by accident" mismanagement and stupidity.

Stupid uneducated idiot.

Because no one ever said that?

50 years ago coal sulfur emissions caused acid rain: and global cooling.

We had -30C winters in Germany. And now we have +23C winters ...

Yields are strongly overall trending up.
Nope they are not.

How the fark would that work when it is to hot and to dry to plant what you planted two years ago.

Stupid idiot.

And now they are switching away from it.

And switching to it, was a gigantic cost. If they did not have wanted their own nukes (as in bombs and subs), they never had done it.

Then your understanding is nonsense.

In a few years ICE cars will only be sold with special permits.

Everything else will be electric.

How farking gigantic is the rock you are living under?
