It would actually be quite wrong to just say "funded by taxpayer!!". It's funded by a central EU funding pot, yes, but that pot is fed from more than the individual taxpayers titheing money to their governments, which then use it to pay their EU dues. Both the EU's central pot, and the individual state's exchequer, will are supplied by more than the taxpayer and will include investment returns (that money isn't just sitting in a vault around doing nothing until it's needed), fines including the multi-billion $ ones levied against Apple/Google/Meta/Microsoft, etc., the sale of criminal assets seized through disgorgement like Bitcoin and tangible goods such as cars and properties, foreign visa fees, and customs fees, just for starters.

There's almost certainly a full breakdown of the sources on Europa.eu if you wanted to go and look for it; pretty much all of the EU's operational processes and finances are in the public domain.

They're also never actually free on the scamazon store, it's just a subscription that you don't ever own.

What's the reason OneDrive tells users this setting can only be turned off 3 times a year?

Because that's what their customers are demanding! Don't you hate when you're doing something, and you realize you've done it more than 3 times? Just yesterday I adjusted the mirror on my wife's SUV and thought "we keep undoing each other's mirror adjustments. Can't it just stop moving so that one of us permanently loses and one permanently wins? Why is this car letting us change it back'n'forth?"

Microsoft fights for the users!

It's coming to light due to the private equity buyout lead by esteemed real estate criminal Jared Kushner. This is likely anti-woke washing to entice a class of customers who have already moved along due to EA sucking for lots of other reasons which won't be addressed.

Why solve real problems intentionally created due to mismanagement when you can just play the culture war card and get a bunch of knee-jerk reactions?

That depends entirely upon whether US companies stand to benefit from EU anti-trust laws or not in any given situations. This is a far easier and more agile process in the US, you just keep buying Trump's meme-coin until he does what you want.

They do have a point about new players having trouble competing against abusive 'entrenched giants' but in the particular case of OpenAI I've got to say this is the pot calling the kettle black because OpenAI wants to become an abusive entrenched giant and if the way they have run roughshod over IP and copyrights to get where they are today isn't enough to convince the public of this then the public needs to be beaten over the head with a clue stick.

unlikely it will be good for much with less than 1GB memory available. Should be a good reminder that true personal computers are still available and at only a modest cost premium.

After making a full drive backup (which you should be doing anyway), try it.

If it fails, recover from your backup.

the parent wasn't talking about "Cloudflare" and neither was i — we were talking about turnstile.

Blame AI.

Everybody that I know who has implemented Turnstile (or similar things like Anubis) has done so because they are getting absolutely pounded by bots scraping content to feed their LLMs. Reasonably-well-behaved bots used to be 20-30% of my traffic, but that's surged to over 70% recently. Several of my sites were DOSed on multiple occasions until we got Turnstile setup.

Charging stations are built and operated by profit making enterprises. One would think market forces would fix that problem. I'd be far more worried about political ideologues banning BEVs and charging stations because the are 'woke' technology, which is of course just an execute to artificially prop up oil companies and the dying ICE car industry instead of letting that fail which the market has already decided is doomed to failure.

The real question is what proportion of a day are nozzles actually occupied. I expect that number is extremely low. Chargers may take 30 minutes but they are just being used for a greater proportion of the day than gas nozzles. Furthermore, if there is twice the number of them than gas nozzles, tons of people also just charge at home overnight rather than using public charging stations and battery charge times are constantly decreasing I don't think a dearth of charging stations is going to be a problem unless Orange Palpatine declares electric transportation 'woke' passes a federal law banning charging stations and/or electric cars and then sends out police and the military to enforce it.

I know it is easy to rag on the F-35, but in the last 75 years, has any high performance aircraft been "on time and on budget and on mission"?
