"not publishing anything that go counter to key EU policies" is now the same as "Mainstream media do not support russia"? I think that media very often call out bullshit takes of the government, EU or national. But being

Their weird content/metadata detection is also what turns me off. Even just having a sane 'files' view with an arbitrary depth would be fine, bit it just does not work. They don't scan metadata like id3 tags. At least th

you know, "IoT Solution" is not at all specific. For good guidance, you need to give a few more details, like where will this "solution" run (on the "thing" side or on the server side, on a smart hub, etc?). Wh

Another tip: change the port of your ssh server. This makes connecting a small bit more tedious(create a .ssh/config file on your clients!) But in exchange you gain much less people trying to hack your machine. This should not be your

I would think the same and can only assume that apple is not as much of a monopoly as google/android in the EU. I think Vestager &co also wanted to have a solid case (as evidenced in the appeal losses right now) and the apple one w

I agree with you that there is too little investment in infrastructure in germany. But maglev was researched extensively and then we decided against it. > the prices and shedules are an international meme. Regarding prices: those are act

So you would rather have built completely new tracks, stations and other infrastrusture, which can only be used with in-system trainsets and will most likely be completely incompatible with anything running on other european rails for decad

This depends on the renderer/render settings. e.g. https://openstreetmap.de/karte/ always shows the german names alongside, if available. But those are set by the site owner, not the user (those are not vector til

I didn't know that site, thanks! But I have to note that those stations are missing pretty basic and crucial information like platform numbers. I probably won't be using those maps anytime soon.

data-wise this could be possible. I know at least in Germany, there is also data in OSM about each line and which tracks they are using.

Well in my bubble, people were pissed that German/EU regulators did so little in the VW case and were glad that at least the US did something there. Of course there was some monetary incentive behind it (Hoping that you could get some

I can't imagine that masks alone were the reason. I use them for two 1h commutes per day and I simply can't understand how they are such an issue. It is a bit annoying but you get used to it. Even longer distances like three hours

I'm pretty sure this price is before taxes (and maybe more payments) and german taxes are pretty heavy, ca. 30% of the consumer price is taxes and stuff, ~25% go to the network operator and only ~45% are power generation[1](~the prices

But if we look at actual nuclear projects in finland and france, they are expensive and mostly failing and take far too long (think decades, not years). End storage of fuel rods is also not a solved problem of nuclear power, esp. in germany

My rule was something like 2Eur /10W/Month(~2A 5V Raspi) which comes down to 2,4Eur/W/Y. Just for my curiosity though, Where did your 1Eur come from? The prices were >20ct for 10 years now. Or do you calculate without

I'm amazed that google does that (I didn't know) and even shows the steps! But it still is lacking. The "solution" here is just a simplification, not something I would call a "solution" (like for an actual equa

This decoupling is important, true. But not for all applications. Especially applications you'll open at multiple machines at the same time (like password managers), syncing could become an issue, or at least tedious, since file-based

If only they would actually learn from it (e.g. make it open source). As it works now, no chance this will succeed. Speaking for Germany alone, this would be monumental.
