The financial sector has a bunch of regulations on internal communication (mostly around retention and availability), but others don't really, so "explicitly told not to do this" seems like a misrepresentation.

No new nuclear power plants since 1989. Peak electricity grid contribution by nuclear power plants: ~30%, while oil and natural gas were used for heating (so replacing that with nuclear power means doubling NPP output, roughly). So Germany

"USB4" is really thunderbolt 3 with a few compatibility tweaks. As such, it's a very different beast from USB3 (which is much closer to the USBs that preceded it): more like "external PCIe" than "USB".

Zalando objects that for everybody else users were counted, while for them it was visitors (a much looser association, they argue). The decision will sharpen DSA's profile, one way or the other.

The main issue these days is the 5GHz band that might interfere with radar. That's mostly an issue outside near an airport, that is, it affects practically nobody, so the solution is to snoop the problematic bands and disable them when

Green energy industries were hampered (or outright killed, like German photovoltaics, just 10 years ago), so I wouldn't say they're all alike.

The issue isn't as much as the realized damage, it's the way it's been handled. Ask the people in charge at the time and Jülich never had any issue: it's deny, deflect, deter all the way. So we're dealing with an in
