For starters, there's a lot of people who simply weren't born when their countries joined, and they simply don't know what it was like when you had to pay customs fees to bring stuff across that which is now internal EU borde

That's pretty much it. We Europeans like to whine about the EU, and there's a lot of things that need to be improved, but very few of us would be ready to go back to what it was like before.

The one advantage is that the old phone lines have been proven to be very reliable through a lot of times where something like a 4G connection hasn't. I used ADSL as a backup for times when 4G was unreliable, like extreme weather situa

The guys, who removed the telephone poles and the wires in these parts, mentioned they paid the local power utility around 40€ per year for each single pole shared with power lines. Mind you, we're talking (mostly) disused old copper w

The same applies for web developers. Most people who make web sites for a living don't test their products with the outdated Android phones and low-end laptops and 2 Mbps connections that many of the site's visitors will be using.

I regularly set up servers using the stable PHP packages. If you sell a setup to a client then you want to provide an "expiry date" for the setup when the OS goes EOL. Stable packages kept up to date with nothing but security patc

My phone switches to 2G in some parts of the house, and some places in the garden. And, when the weather gets really bad, or if there's a long power outage, 2G is the only option. I live quite far out though, so I guess it won't

Well, if you take snapshots every hour then you can always roll back to the latest snapshot if you need to. It would be a nice defence against the traditional "encrypt all writable files" attacks. As long as the root user isn&#x27

Problem is that those changes will be prohibitly expensive for a lot of people. There's a lot of people who rarely get out, and who's struggling just to be able to buy a cheap smart phone every year and a last-minute all-inclusiv

Unless it's regularly verified by a trusted third party, such as a government agency, I wouldn't trust them not to. After all: we're talking about a corporation that lives off the data it gathers about people using their serv

They're definitely separate issues, but decision makers still need to take both into account. "It's better for the environment" is a poor excuse when you have angry farmers yelling outside one door, and poor hungry peopl

I think "commoditization" might be a better word for it. In the past, the general citizenry was restricted to use weapons provided through very specific channels, and if they wanted to build their own weapons they would either be

No they don't, when you compare them to people who smile a lot. Neither Swedes or the Nordic peoples see themselves as gloomy as others do, though, so in that sense they're a lot like Russians.

You missed the point. It was a deliberate simplification (hence a simplification of a biblical quote and the addition of "and so on") intended to steer the focus away from my personal opinion about debt, and towards the second poi
