Disney+ has not just children's movies. Here in Germany it streams quite a bit of horror movies like The Hills Have Eyes and the Alien franchise.

This is correct. Public Domain is a concept unknown to the EU. You can never waive your copyright, only give permission to use to everybody. It's one of the reasons why SQLite sells licenses even though it's released as Public Dom

No, the speed limit is always the same, regardless where you came from. If there is no speed limit posted after a junction, the default speed limit for this kind of road (unlimited, 100km/h, 50km/h, or zone specific as posted befo

Daimler explicitly assumes liability if something goes wrong when driving autonomously. That is the key difference to other popular automakers that market themselves as pioneers but do not assume liability for their level 2 system.

Very likely. 60km/h is the maximum speed a truck above 7.5t is allowed drive on German roads that aren't highways.

Considering those companies are American and the US doesn't really have a concept of nudging a company onto the righteous path via relatively small fines, we might see a lot more fines coming up. The US takes a different approach and i

I wonder at which point the fines will outgrow the "cost of doing business" and really start to hurt? Tech companies are getting fined so often in the EU recently that it seems we're seeing a new article about a 9+ digit fine

20G is very little. Versatel and Vodafone each have connections summing up to around 1,200G in Frankfurt alone. I was a Telekom customer for a few years and YouTube was just unbearable after 7pm. Maybe they fixed it now or bullied content p

There is also a phenomenon where drivers (car and truck) just forget about motorcycles coming their way. They see it, they register it's there but then just... forget about it. Imagine a car wants to turn and waits and a line of cars p

That's why I don't buy phones without an SD card slot and put everything on an SD card. If only everybody were doing this... I hate all those upselling tactics where they want you to pay for more storage.

Wasn't there a situation where the Linux ecosystem decided to use an API that Nvidia officially opposed and never wanted to support? Resulting in Wayland/KDE/GNOME (or similar) not running quite a lot of features on Nvidia? S

That's assuming that the market is always rational. It might be in this case but it not always is. See the more or less recent mortgage crisis for an extreme example. I, for example, don't agree with Tesla's current valuation

No problem, since ACME is an open protocol, you can use multiple providers at the same time. I didn't use them but apparently ZeroSSL and SSL.com issue free certs as well.

Sadly Germany, a country that should know how bad it is to have the government have access to everything, is pushing for this. Just about 32 years ago the Berlin Wall fell and shortly after the Stasi files were proudly presented as an examp

LINQ is parsing a tree of System.Linq.Expression here and the cases of First(pred) etc. are just not optimized because of the added complexity with little benefit. It only recently became a problem when Visual Studio got a new built-in anal

It's not a bug. It's a legacy artifact that cannot be changed easily because of backwards compatibility.

So crypto currencies don't work without a working legal system to back it up? Why the hassle with ever increasing transaction logs, and decentralization with all its drawbacks then?

And there it is, you are the one with an agenda. I just wanted to have a discussion about the meta model of crypto currencies, you rather want to destroy the current bankingsystem instead.

No, you are absolutely wrong. Owning something is way beyond having access to it. If I leave my bike unlocked and somebody took it, it would still be stealing.
