0% chance Germany will commit to this, it will require too much political reform and no politician wants to spend the political capital on it. Germanys problems are institutional and the bureaucracy around the military is mostly built for s

This is how it worked in the US until this year. 2G can actually work pretty well along side 4G and 5G, it never really needs to be shut down since it works in the guard bands of LTE (i.e. nothing else is using the airspace 2G occupies and

The Average American is getting richer and richer, especially compared to European wage stagnation. I don’t think non-Americans understand how rich middle class americans are.

Ironically the DMA is telling Apple to reduce privacy to make Apple Intelligence work in the EU, it’s just a populist political attempt at regulating a market. No sane person actually thinks Apple isn’t private enough for EU standards, they

This has gotta be the dumbest “debate” (at least in the USA). If you put something on the internet without protection (i.e. DRM), it is public. Enforcing a data cartel like apple is doing has gotta be the absolute worse outcome, only the ul

Not very much compassion if they let them die at 6 which would be expected when their clan realized they couldn’t hold their own and left them to die. Sounds more like these academics are putting their own feelings into their research than

Whole home generators are miles cheaper than a solar-battery setup. I can get 10kw of backup power tied into my house for 5k with an automatic switch, but that barely covers the labor costs for a solar system, and you still have to buy the
