Calling KDE Plasma is like calling Linux GNU/Linux. You will find some persons who do that.

The GDPR hat little todo with the cookie law.

The cookie law is the watered down replacement for the do-not-track legal proposal and yes, I agree, it is inadequate.

It is quite ironic that they believe they could do that.

europe provides an open single market that invites also Us players to make business biut in a democracy laws are a matter of the people, not foreign corporations. Apple has no business whatsoever to tell us what to do with our laws

Why didn't they unlawfully monitor the Epstein swamp?

I mean, an associate of the Royal family, with a child abuse ring and strange income sources. What does MI5 know?

Look, they are nowhere on the German market yet. VW leads the EV market.

If these compliance risks were real, the use of these tools would be strongly advised against.

Of course they aren't-

So many purchases of non-physical items are a revocable license. There's a good chance they didn't use LaTex to create their court filing documents because that software too probably comes with a revocable license to use, not own.

My bad, those were Telsa global delivery numbers, not US. For the US sales numbres:

Q1 Sales: 128,100 vehicles were sold and Q2 Sales: 143,535 vehicles were sold for a total of 271,635 which would mean a significant number of EVs were purchased from other vendors this year in the US. THAT's a big deal if you're a Tesla stock holder or employee.

Obviously stated by someone who has never driven a modern EV. Because they have the torque of a turbo diesel, the speed of an LS8 and at more than 2x the energy conversion efficiency. They get ~300 miles on effectively the energy of 3 gallons of gasoline.

But, if you REALLY like driving snow plow looking vehicles becasue they look manly have at it. But don't judge until you've pinned yourself into the seat a few times in one of the many EVs on the market today.

Google says Tesla sold Q1 2025, 336,681 vehicle deliveries and Q2 2025, 384,122 vehicles delivered.
I guess some of those could have been sold in 2024 but a full 100,000 unit difference and that's just Telsa so the 50,000 or so GM and Ford sold aren't even counted. Note, just guessing on the Ford and GM number since they are usually just a fraction of Tesla sales.

Prof. David Kipping had a recent video on his Cool Worlds youtube channel about "TARS". Which would be capable of launching tiny sensor probes out into space by accelerating them on a spinning foil.

What Trump advocates for is post-economics trade policy.

The post-economics extortion is best to be modelled by the policy ideas of little kids.

Espionage = revealing state secrets to a foreign power.

I assume that Intel is not alleged to forward state secrets to a foreign government.

So what is the crime here, that Intel makes business with other countries?

In fact it is a poisonous import pushed by Us corporations, completely alien to our culture in Europe.
Not even the Vatican museum would meet their puritan code of conduct nonsense.
