I tried to follow that link, but AliExpress only lists one product (a mouse jiggler) when I actually went to that website. German Amazon should ship to me without additional costs but then I'd end up with QWERTZ...

Very funny so see such an XML like syntax right after deciding to rip XML support out of Chrome. We're watching Google reinvent XSLT in real time, but now with tons of Javascript glue for some reason.

They still have a system for sponsoring students (through professors). They're not entirely crazy. It does make me wonder how much money they must be losing on these chips that they've turned this desperate for licensing costs.

Probably a good thing I don't run a company, because I wouldn't put energy into responding to the kind of comments they're addressing. If you use a support channel the same way a teenager uses Reddit, you should count to ten

The whole concept of getting citizenship where you're born is mostly an American concept. Though, if you do get born in a place where you get citizenship based on location alone, your parents will probably need to figure out a lot of p

While Google has rejected China's terms and moved out of the mainland, China has set up a separate iMessage/iCloud system that complies with the wants and needs of the CCP. They have also abided by the UK's demand to disable

Apple's iCloud default is still to link the encryption key to your account password, with a bunch of extra steps if you wish to use your own key instead, just like Google does. It doesn't really matter that the data is encrypted e

The pattern described is a common Discord account theft method and it has proven very effective at locking people out of their accounts.

I'm sure those 80 microseconds are going to ruin the performance of that WordPress/Django app! Why would you want to deal with a bespoke session and authentication table when there's a standard solution out there already? Wha

Google's Health Connect system doesn't share this data either (without a consent prompt for third party apps, off course). This is to the point where I wish it would just support some kind of sync, because two devices hooked up to

For as long as there's free data to be downloaded, there will be an AI to ruin a public good. Why pay when you can just have your scraper generate a million trial accounts? A pay wall at the news site would just bankrupt the internet a

C sits right in the middle between assembly and BASIC in terms of simplicity. You can't do a simple popcnt, but you can implement jump tables. It's slower than Fortran and, depending on the platform, cobol. It's a bigger mine

In the world of microcontrollers, CHAR_BIT can be 16 or some other funky number. char is usually 8 bits in size, though.

Every bug is the result of an imaginary computer that doesn't work exactly like my computer does and triggers a bug in my code. The code works on my machine, so this imaginary computer never existed and will never exist. Signed vs unsi

I don't think it's as big of an issue. China seems to be doing just fine when it comes to payment processing, and it's not the only country that works that way. From a software freedom perspective, I actually prefer QR codes.

I have been using iDeal for many years now and have yet to see any of the downsides of it being a product of a commercial bank. Perhaps it's a difference in banking culture between different countries; I would certainly not put the sam

That's the thing, European banks provide Wero, or a system that integrates with Wero. Or Swish, but integration between the two is inevitable in the future. This whole "new" ecosystem is just gluing together existing national

I can't imagine that 6 million number is the total volume. Given that each participating country already had existing payment systems, perhaps that number is just international payments?

In some countries there is a payment system that works by generating QR codes at checkout and scanning those with your phone. I don't know if Wero intends to also support those, but it could make for a direct integration into live chec

Wero is a initiative of a collection of banks from a handful of countries. Every country already had something like this, in some form of another, and now all these systems are getting merged into a common system. No single country can clai

There's supposedly also an Italian pun based on "vero" in there. I've heard pretty much every European English-as-a-second-language speaker pronounced the W differently, though, and pronunciation of the E isn't even

You shouldn't need to wait for a day, instant transfers have been a thing for a while now. Unless you're in terribly bad luck to be stuck with one of the few banks that are lagging behind. International money transfers, even betwe

A lot of these are puns/vague money sounding names in different languages. Wero has got to be the worst of the bunch, though. An awkward combination of "we" and "euro" combined with "vero". At least the ot

If you don't set a default browser, you'll be prompted what browser to open redirects and such in every time. Unfortunately you still can't easily distinguish between normal browsing and private browsing that way (though brow

Funnily enough, the ECB's Digital Euro initiative has a lot in common with the chipknip, except you can now also charge your wallet with larger amounts of money.

Wero is run by the banks themselves, which are in turn controlled/restricted by the central bank. I don't think there's a meaningful difference on that front. The European ECB isn't really in a position to directly offer

People are varied. My grandma can't tell the difference between reality and AI. My parents and older family members either treat AI as a dog ("wow, look at this fun trick") or, worryingly, as Google. People younger than about
