Every time I'm in Barcelona or Frankfurt airport, they tell me to take off shoes. So I'm pretty sure this also applies to Europe, albeit not at every airport, and not even every time at BCN airport I've had to do so. Maybe de

Usually? According to geography (and the wikipedia pages for each baltic country), Baltic countries are also located in Northern Europe. In the UN geoscheme, Baltic countries are part of Northern Europe. According to EuroVoc, Baltic countri

I don't think geography is subjective. I suggest you google Northern Europe, or read the wikipedia pages for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as they all say "a country located in Northern Europe". In the UN geoscheme, Baltic c

The Baltic countries are northern Europe, not eastern.

Your response is completely irrelevant to the discussion of vertical integration. Whether or not you find use in it is up to you, and I don't really care.
577.
by askonomm 3y ago
Yes, the whole discussion is about vertical integration, achieved best so far by Apple. I'm sure it can be done in other systems, but for whatever reason other systems haven't made it as simple and seamless. I wonder why. Could it

But from the end-user perspective it doesn't really. Nobody consciously sets the universal clipboard up, it comes as part of the cohesive whole of the Apple ecosystem. That's my point. Whether or not you want to dive deep into ner

by askonomm 3y ago
So your argument is that because the things to copy are few, this feature doesn't matter? Or what? I fail to see how what you say contributes to the discussion of vertical integration in any way.

Sounds like it needs a special program and configuration, which is not needed on Apple devices. Also, KDE Connect needs both devices to be in the same network - which is not needed for Apple devices. My phone can be on 5G, and my Mac can be

Yeah, can also view email on both phone and computer since forever ago - this is not even remotely similar to the shared clipboard of an iPhone and Mac, where you don't need to open any links or programs, install anything, configure an

Well that world would suck immensely, with horrible integration between hardware and software like exists right now outside of the Apple world. Case in point: can you copy text on your phone, and paste in your computer (and vice versa), sea

Anyone in European Union most likely only works 40, because we have actual employee protection laws here.

Average wage in Estonia is way less than that (and I would imagine most of EU's average wage is less than that), at 21,420.78 USD, but we have 20% VAT.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Next year I'm moving away from Estonia, to Finland, precisely because at least there the government still cares to a point about healthcare whereas here they have entirely given up, defund it on a regular basis,

Our hearts would eventually give out anyway. I'd just much rather die of a sudden heart attack than a long and torturous cancer battle.

I'm 31 which means I got maybe around 20? years before I become a prime target of potential cancers. I really hope by then most of even today's abilities are at least available in most hospitals, since right now cancer treatment i

Both of these seem .. illegal where I am from. 40 hours a week is the maximum an employee can ask of you in EU. So does Google in EU then explicitly ask in the contracts that you agree to work more hours or how does that work? And also, why

Coming from Estonia it is hard to believe how Germany still requires you to show up at government entities. I thought Germany was a very advanced country. I've done everything online for the past 10 or so years, having to only show up

I'd imagine most people offload them to iCloud, and don't keep copies on the iPhone. At least that's what I do.

I don't agree. Estonia has online voting and I do not recall any fraud or interference. I actually think pen and paper would be a lot easier to manipulate or "miscount".

Really? As soon as I turned on fractional scaling on Wayland, Chrome & Electron apps became blurry looking to the point of being unusable. Actually, a lot of apps I'm used to using were unusably blurry and horrible looking (like Je

Yeah, totally agree - but I've tried a ton of different distros, and the UI inconsistencies are there as well, the fractional scaling support (or lack thereof) is much worse than on Windows, Gnome feels like it's made with CSS and
