Did they address the key concern that Microsoft, no matter what they write in their contracts with EU, is obligated by law to hand over all their data to US authorities when asked?
And which avenues would an EU citizen have to deny consent to that?

Talk to your GF about mutual respect in your relationship.
Or botch the heating, then give her an afternoon to clean up the water damage.


Sadly, you can’t. He’s already dead.


I strive to live my life in Jesus, and your mom.
Fast charging can damage your cat.


You’re comparing a kernel with an entire operating system.


Not in Germany.
Lots of bakers, independent fast food vendors, barber shops and small grocery stores still don’t take cards (hmm, I wonder why…)
Forget about paying electronically at street festivals, smaller concert venues, or markets.
The parking meters in my city still only take coins. So do many public toilets.
You need coins to unlock the shopping carts in supermarkets.
If you order something from overseas with a customs fee, you’re expected to pay it to the mailman - Who can only accept cash and carries no change. Oh, and there’s no way to know in advance how much it’ll cost.

I ran Fedora Kinoite without a terminal installed for quite a while.
It’s literally designed to make the terminal useless.

And powershell comes with multiple different versions that can be installed side by side, and have overlapping functionality.
Meaning, there are things you can only do in Powershell v1.x and other things you can only do in v7.x .
Also, the syntax and available commands are different.
Counter-point: When the state kills and mutilates people, making a spectacle out of it, democracy is already dead.
The solution to that is reform of the government, so that a fascist takeover is harder to do, and the head of state doesn’t have the power to undermine the Judiciary, not killing and mutilating people.
I royally fucked up when I first started using a password manager:
I created a password entry, copied the password from it, clicked on “change password” in the account I wanted to update, and pasted in.
Repeat for all my accounts, without testing in between.
I forgot that Linux has two separate clipboards for CTRL+C/V and middle click paste.
I used the wrong one for pasting and changed all my passwords to whatever was in the other clipboard at that moment.
Then I shut the computer down.
And then I realized what I’d just done.
My password is

Potatoes, eggs and oats reportedly have everything the body needs, even long term.
If that weren’t the case, Ireland wouldn’t exist today.


One protip, with which I’ve resurrected countless laptops and even a server:
Shut it down, pull the power chord, remove the battery (or hold down the battery reset button on modern laptops), then hold the power on button for a couple of seconds.
It’ll drain all capacitors and remaining voltage.
WTF? No, I never want to live in a country where that is done to anyone for any reason.
Dismantle the business, throw the execs in prison for life and seize their funds.

It’s how I use mine
Seiko was never especially known for the precision of their mechanical movements. They were known for making decent watches for very little money. But they’ve now cast off the low end of their offerings entirely in the past few years.
Instead, they now sell their basic movements to other manufacturers.
So I’d argue if you want the best bang for your buck, buy a microbrand watch.
They often offer unique designs, great finish and build quality, with a reliable basic movement for less than a current entry level Seiko.
And if you want to go really cheap, the bigger Aliexpress watch brands have honestly become really good as well. I just dislike them because most of them don’t have their own designs, but just copy that of a popular Swiss watch.
