Haven't you heard of FATCA and other similar local US laws which impact institutions everywhere in the world?

by randunel 2y ago
Because he can face legal consequences for breaking the (local elsewhere) law. The US do the exact same, look up FATCA.

You might be unaware of FATCA, then.

The blog is terrible. I've browsed a few articles in case the one linked was a misunderstanding, but the "whys" in the titles never get answered, and there is no information actually shared in there, only rants and general tr

It's the same, local laws impacting foreign companies.

I'd assume they had to work with what was offered. As long as banks required usernames and passwords with no oauth possible, what's plaid to do? Their users wanted their service, but the banks used username password credentials. I

These decryption requirements are being put in place in part because the UK wants to find potential criminals no matter where they operate from in the world. So, they make requirements like back doors and make requirements on companies that

Why would the IRS need to access my records? Or need to impose non-US citizens to sign affidavits outside the US? FYI I am not a "US Person", whatever that means, yet when I signed up with my bank account in an EU country I had to

I've helped the EU Funds departments at my previous employer with auctions participation and other similar checkbox ticking exercises, they're impossible to navigate for regular companies. I suppose the amount of red tape depends

by randunel 2y ago
Indeed. The EU grants are ridiculously red tapey. Companies have entire departments dedicated to the red tape that European grants require, from the initial participation / auction with hundreds or thousands of pages of documentation,

One word: safety. They'll tout that word everywhere and people will believe them. For your and everyone else's safety and security, do not jailbreak your in car entertainment. Your wipers and ABS might even stop working.

The wikipedia link literally quotes: > In 2024, Volvo renamed the battery electric XC40 to the Volvo EX40, aligning it with newer battery electric models such as the EX30 and the EX90. Which makes me think Volvo sold their cars with the

Apologies for my ignorance, but which other modern cars fail to run the wipers when the cameras don't work? And which other car manufacturers instruct their customers to drive without the car's safety features such as ABS working?

"Better" is relative. As I've found out from other comments, "better" requires rooting your TV, so it's actually worse from a usability perspective, in no case is rooting your TV and sideloading apps any better

The other way around. Tailscale cloned zerotier, but they diverged quite a bit. You can find VPN connected hardware with zerotier if you've got such needs, and that's simply not possible with tailscale.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of HDMI-CEC prior to your comment. It appears that my TV supports it, so it's time to build my own box. I believe my point about Plex still stands, not a lot of people can do what developers do.

Kodi isn't available in the WebOS app library, you probably need to sideload some precompiled app, or even compile it yourself. Plex doesn't need a PC to be installed on the TV, you simply use the remote to download and open the W

The Plex solution makes it as easy as streaming, simply use the remote control whenever you want to watch something. Imagine the USB stick flow from downloading to viewing.

My wife doesn't want to have to use 2 remote controls, and I've got friends with similar wants. Plex is the only software which works with the TV's remote, on the TV.

The only reason piracy isn't easy is because of TV vendors gatekeeping what software these TVs run. Unless you use Plex, which allows your own content (but still disallows torrent streaming or sharing your analog TV with your users, so
