If you went to a German Aldi on the other hand, they would let you buy a SIM, but before you can activate it you need to provide your personal information including a verification check that involves your Personalausweis in one way or anoth

I wholeheartedly agree. I didn't mean to say that the translation of the specification was a big problem, merely that all others are even more insignificant.

I have had the pleasure of visiting AbsInt and hearing talks on, amongst other things, CompCert. It really is a fascinating piece of software. I would highly recommend looking at the 2016 paper [1] for a bit more detail on how it works. If

> Bank account details aren't typically regarded as (worth keeping) secret This is precisely my point. People are not terribly worried about others (including merchants) knowing their IBAN. They are worried about their credit card.

Which cards are you using? AMEX? For the most commonly accepted schemes in Europe, i.e., Visa and MasterCard, requesting a chargeback typically goes through your card issuer which almost always is your bank.

Yes, you can have the charge reversed, but they can still make the charge initially. In that sense it is no different from a credit card: if they have your info, they can charge you again and you can have the charge reversed.

Banks are offering online payment functionality with giropay and other solutions. This is, however, a fully separate product with a similar name. It was quite late to the market and isn't universally supported by online shops. It doesn

Your standard checking account will (almost) always come with a girocard, which is a national debit card scheme. It can be used to pay in stores, but not online. These cards are typically co-branded with either Maestro or V-Pay, so they can

Another popular payment option is to pay by invoice. Obviously this means the merchant assumes (almost) all the risk. Hence this option is not available most of the time. As for the question why people would choose to pay in advance? From m

As Vespasian said this law was written before consumers had large scale access to the internet and used it to order things online and from foreign countries. In practice, if you're not a German business you probably don't need to

So it is. I did a cursory search, but didn't come across that law. I edited my comment to reflect this.

VAT is uniform across all of Germany. Therefore detailed location information isn't necessary. The country can be inferred reasonably accurately from the IP. You can have a drop-down somewhere to correct the country if necessary. ~~And

Unfortunately this isn't the complete story. Being able to use a DS4/DualSense with a PC or other device is a different beast from being able to emulate a DS4/DualSense for a PS4/5. The console actually authenticates the

This is true, unfortunately. A common way around that is that you must connect both the controller you want to use and an original PS4 controller to the adapter. The adapter will forward all DRM/handshake messages to the original contr

I believe it means that you can now use the adapter to connect a PS5 controller to the Switch.

Yes, it's absolutely wonderful. I hope to never need it, but I'm so happy it exists for everyone that does. It also shows why controller compatibility between consoles might be more important than one would think: the "native

Debit cards work if they're Visa or MasterCard, probably. Many countries have national card schemes for debit cards that do not work.

That's great to hear! I might be willing to take that penalty depending on the size of the project to avoid any future incompatibilities.
