Probably, but as far as we know, Russia is the only one actively testing it on a regular basis.

Maybe way back when GLONASS was being developed, they had considered being able to jam GPS while allowing their own system to function. But these days multi constellation receivers are standard anyway.

Galileo and Beidou using the same bands as GPS is probably more helpful in terms of jamming resilience, in that if the US and China ever started jamming each other they couldn't just affect the other side, they would have to mess up their own system as well.

Jamming resistance is more about making the signals hard to spoof, and easier to pick out from noise.

Yes, software like that already exists. It's not perfect, but it will likely be enough to meet the legal requirements.

Simply make messaging apps block all images that aren't the built-in memes and emoji if the user is under 18. Have a DNS blocklist of porn sites. You don't even have to make one, you can just buy one from a company that has been providing them to schools and parents for decades. Ban VPN apps for users under 18 too.

Kids will quickly find ways around it, but that's not the point.

Not really. The people who came tended to be young and healthy, and many of them worked in the NHS.

The problem is that out population is ageing, and they expect expensive, long term treatments and care that were seemingly not anticipated when they were paying National Insurance (the income tax that nominally pays for pensions and free healthcare in the UK). Not nearly enough was saved for this eventuality, not nearly enough was invested. Opportunities to take care of it were squandered.

The question is if Copilot makes fewer errors than humans do.

Android has had the APIs and settings menus to change your voice assistant for many years now, probably since Google Assistant 1.0 rolled out.

Pretty much all of Android can be replaced by apps, barring a few security features.

Are iPhones the same hardware everywhere? Most phones have different modems for different regions, supporting different frequency bands, for example. It can all be done in software, but makes the hardware more expensive. More royalties to pay too, e.g. 6GHz 5G support in places that don't have it.

Then again I know Apple has some sweet deals in some of this stuff. Somehow they have a blanket licence for Felica/e-Saifu, so all their phones support it even though I think Japan is the only country that actually uses it. It's rather annoying as my Pixel has the hardware, but it's disabled in software.

It's important to differentiate the too though. China's responses are reactive. Their whole pitch is that if you trade with them, they won't randomly sanction you due to senility or whatever reason the US is claiming today. They are a stable, non-judgemental partner.

It's working too. A lot of developing nations are turning to China, rather than the US, or Europe.

The US still sets the tone for international relationships, to some degree. This is signalling that any country that wants to go protectionist is free to designate foreign companies as "aiding the military" or some other excuse, when they can't compete.

It's the kind of economic policy you would expect from a guy who managed to bankrupt a casino.

France's green credentials are questionable. They have nuclear power, but also a lot of nuclear waste, and accidents. And now all those plants are reaching end of life, after being extended and them finding previously undetected flaws in the reactor vessels. So they either need to build a lot more, or transition to renewables.

They will build some because they need a nuclear industry to support their weapons programmes and nuclear naval vessels. But if they want it to be affordable, most of it will have to be renewables.

It depends how busy it is. If people are waiting, then yes. A lot of places have some slower chargers as well as the very fast ones, so if you need time you can always use one of those. They are often a little cheaper too.

It's the same as with petrol pumps. It's bad form to go do your shopping and finish your burger if other people are waiting.

Range anxiety is a real thing, and people massively over-estimate distances. By a factor of 2-2.5, in my experience.

When I've done extended trips away from home, I haven't had any issues. Just charge when I happen to be somewhere that has a charger.

Looking at Alma, right now there are a fair few rapid chargers in the range 150-350kW, and most of them are unoccupied. One has a fault reported. There are also lots of rapid chargers in nearby towns and along the major highways.

Care to name one?

Yeah, plenty of space. If you look at the typical sites at service areas, they just place them between parking spaces, and there is plenty of room. Of course more sites are appearing regularly too, typically not far off a junction on the motorway. Tesla went for those sites first, so often you can save a bit of money by taking a sub 1 minute detour.

It's basically the same as in a fossil, the only planning you might do is where is best to get refreshments.
