Yeah, and a German Court already ordered Tesla not to call it Autopilot. But Tesla for the moment (~1 year) legally ignores the verdict, by appealing it. It's >90% that the verdict will stay the same (the advertising is misleading, sigh), but Tesla just continues the misleading advertising as long as they can get away with it.

(Wonder if they will ignore the higher court's verdict too, try to appeal it too, or perhaps just ignore it, and pay the fines for ignoring the verdict?)

Simple. Who looses? Some irritating US companies that have the market cornered. These heroic European freedom fighters were only bothered when it become unavoidable.

How exactly is it in the interest of European countries to play copyright cops for US companies?

From experience, on less travelled Autobahns, Volvos will become slow speed hazards on the left lane ;)

Something Linux seems to be capable to do with included tools?

How is deleting sensitive data even a topic? Shut the laptop down, and let the attacker try to figure out the encryption passphrase to get access to the laptop?

Yes, my facilities to navigate myself have atprophied over the last decade with good navigation systems via smart phones available all the time.

You know there are alternative Youtube apps for Android.

Cool, so you were out of your devices for 4 weeks. Getting replacement devices was probably a great and cheap experience, right?

Well, it's 4% of global revenues in the EU's GDPR, but that might be just a happy random happenstance. Sounds all very similar to the GDPR on the surface, although the prison terms are a cool bonus ;)

Well, they should probably be a little bit more flexible with frequencies they use: 900MHz is LTE band 9 and used for mobiles in many countries around the world. Actually 900MHz was the initial GSM frequency, and it's still used in parts of Europe for exactly that purpose ;)

Some truth, but also some myths here.

Yes a cable is cool. So DSL is SO great. Not when your neighbor activates his DSL, and your condo's DSL bandwidth drops from 16mbit/s to 6mbit/s (fucking 2mbit/s with the settop box turned on). Just because the phone cables are together in one trunk, and interfere with each other, ...

Don't think so. You can get good coverage in Europe in thinly populated places too. It's the competition, plus strict rules, e.g. you have to provide service to 99% of the population 3 years after you get your frequency slot license, or you loose it and forfeit the billions you paid for the license.

And yes, nordic countries like Norway (14 humans/sq km) Sweden (24 h/sqkm) and Finland (18h/sqkm) do have better mobile coverage and prices, while having a lower population density than the US (35h/sqkm).

In situation like this it often helps to use the SMTP of your ISP as smart host.

Well, European sat based Internet (Astra) you can get 20mbit/4mbit unlimited usage for around €70-80 per month.
(It depends upon the reseller, as Astra is not selling to customers directly, and there are cheaper packages too, but these DO have data caps.)

Yes, but one big benefit, unlimited usage, of fixed lines is missing in the US, as most ISPs do cap data usage also on fixed lines.
