TV license is basically just another tax, right? And what do you mean by the second part? As far as I understand private data in Germany is _very_ private, or it would be a violation of the "Datenschutz" (data protection) laws.

Requiring humans to sift through the data makes it easier to limit its use. You either need a lot more budget (= oversight) to hire all the people to do the work, or do less of it. Sure computers also cost money but you can keep using them

Almost sounds like it's a spite thing. "You made me go through with the deal, now I'll destroy your toy after torturing it."

You can do 2.5G on a single lane of PCIe 3 (maybe also 2?). That makes it way easier to implement electrically. Also, 2.5Gbit uses a lot less power (and generates less heat) than 10Gbit.

You (the account holder) do. Direct debits are instantly reversible for a month (maybe 2?). You'll have to explain to the company that deducted the money why you reversed the charge though, and if it was legit after all you still need

Even when you rewrite the commit history, the old objects are kept for a while (or until you forcibly expire them). You can find the "old" commits using "git reflog". I've fixed a lot of botched rebases with that :)

Maybe they're trying to write around the term "Coefficient of performance" (COP) for people who have never heard of heat pumps. I think a COP of 2 at 5°F (-15°C) is pretty good.
