I was born after Stalin died (and Hitler of course), but Nicolae Ceauescu got his inspiration from North Korea so NK may be the competition.

I occasionally update Wikipedia entries - without an account - if I see something incorrect or missing.
A week ago I added a missing entry to a table, only to see that it had been backed out again three minutes later. I suppose it was the equivalent of filling a gap in the periodic table except that it was far more obscure than that. The account which did this appears to be a real account but I don't understand how a real person would even notice such a correction let alone revert it without checking the content - it has to have been an automated process (and a real person would have checked and reinserted the entry).

He's part of DOGE

According to the summary of the article above, the law in its current form was passed after Tesla got their license.
Corruption.

So when you want to terminate your contract, delete your data and then upload a whole load of Youtube (or maybe even Youporn) videos to replace it.

You think Canon and Sony won't follow suit? They presumably have to pay the same beautiful tariffs ("presumably" because I don't know where the three companies have their manufacturing facilities).
As for the tariffs disappearing, in order for that to happen the taxes which are being reduced now are going to have to be reintroduced. Will that happen?

Describing Belgium as a 3rd world country says more about you than Belgium, but I'll agree with a lot of the rest you wrote.
Belgium has a population approaching 12 million, that court thinks they are more important than they really are. I suspect this happened because Internet Archive could not afford the lawyers to counter whoever brought this action.

There is one difference, I only skimmed through the previous iteration of this story but did not notice an explicit claim that Maury Blackman was behind the removal. Implicitly? That's a different story.

Given that the previous story on the main page is https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/07/28/1732217/chinese-universities-want-students-to-use-more-ai-not-less, they are reacting to what a very large number of potential customers want.
Me? I don't use Windows or Edge.

Switzerland has had this problem for 80 years now.
From what I've read a couple of decades ago, Switzerland was a primary beneficiary from WW2. Quite apart from selling Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns to both sides, large sums had been deposited into bank accounts in that country by Jews who did not survive the war - and also by some Nazis later on. At least the Nazis were more likely to have immediate family members still living, unless they went for murder-suicides like Goebbels. It was allegedly policy for the big Swiss banks to require all details from people claiming their inheritances and a lot of people could not do that, that policy only changed decades later.

Looks like this one from 37 hours ago although they at least reference different source articles.

Compounding their error, this is not the first time AI quotes have been found to be bogus, and it's not the second time either. Absolutely pathetic.

Why is everyone repeating that $175 million figure? Having RTFA it is given there as £100m (oh, Slashdot still has not got around to implementing Unicode, 100m GBP). He was even giving technical support (via Telegram) after he'd been arrested.
He will have been 17 to 19 years old while he was selling the kits, so he will have been a minor for some of these offences.
Having seen where Eastcote is, I realised I lived in that area for a few years but it is well before he was born.

Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO

Looks like he's no longer part of the problem.

People who send me too many Signal or WhatsApp (sorry, I need that one) messages get muted, either for a week or permanently.
Apps which alert me to things I don't care about, they are no longer permitted to send me notifications.
Spam cold callers who don't show their numbers? I no longer take calls from anonymous callers.

Older versions of Android used to cause a light to flash on notifications, my new phone no longer does that and that means hours of battery life just through that simple fix.
