Age verification on Australian social media has loopholes. Underage influencers use an agency to manage their social media for them. So anyone with enough followers or money can continue using social media under the age of 16. If you are go

Having to file taxes in my home country would be worth keeping my citizenship. The bank accounts aren’t a big issue, plenty of Americans in the EU seem to manage. This article is about people renouncing citizenship based on the current admi

I would never, ever renounce my citizenship voluntarily. It gives me access to what I call home, my friends, my family, a massive job market. Politics are a bit rough right now but imagine if that clears up in ten years time and you can&#x2

I last developed on Windows in the time where I had to fiddle with Git Bash, Cygwin and manually setting my PATH. It was not a fun time.

I hardly see developers with Windows anymore, I guess this is one of the many reasons.

2025 - You start using Amazon S3 with pre-signed URLs and serve those directly to your customers. Great, now your customers are also locked into AWS.

Years ago I was making the case that instead of digging ourselves into the Amazon eco-system with S3 storage, EC2 instances, DynamoDB and various other Amazon specific cloud products... we should just host virtual machines and have everythi

Forgot that one. Yes, with its low density and flat ground Malmo is a good candidate for cycling and they did it well. It will not take long before they are up to Dutch standards. Comparison with Amsterdam is maybe not fair as Amsterdam has

I'm not sure why you would compare states to cities? And while The Netherlands as a country is dense, the cities are not, partially due to the massive amount of urban sprawl that The Netherlands has (compared to other European countrie

To add, The Netherlands in the 1970s was going full-on towards suburbanization and urban sprawl. Even today it has one of the lowest amounts of apartments in Europe and the most urban sprawl. So if they didn't go for bicycles, it would

There is Copenhagen. And Dutch cities. I don't know if there are any other European cities with extensive separated bike lanes. Valencia has some bike lanes but I wouldn't call them extensive. Only 143 kilometers versus 515 kilome

I'd guess that most people who use optical Thunderbolt cables are aware that they do not carry power.

Thanks to the EU those are now forbidden, all phones and laptops should be compatible with USB-PD. Update: USB-PD is a requirement, but manufacturers are allowed to have their own proprietary charging solution.

And not only the sales people. Windows doesn't report anywhere what your motherboard is capable of, and even if you connect with a device it will not tell you the speed it agreed on.

The simplicity of Thunderbolt. Versions 1 and 2 used mini DisplayPort, 3 and upwards USB-C. Version 1 was 10Gbps, 2 was 20Gbps, 3 was 40Gbps, 4 was 40Gbps, 5 is 80 or 120Gbps with boosting. A Thunderbolt 5 cable will always support 80Gbps,

Correct. At the moment the expansion of ASML is halted because of nearby farmers that create a negligible addition to the GDP. If the Dutch government was a bit smarter, they would buy out the farmers and create a mega-campus for ASML, incl

I recently read an article that 8 cows needed to be moved 5 kilometers so they could build a bicycle path. The cows combined with the construction of the new bicycle path caused too much local emissions. The municipality bought the emission

Needing less offices, less people driving to those offices, less A/C and heating for those offices and less resources building those offices could offset the energy usage of AI.

For The Netherlands, construction work causes emissions. There are limits to these emissions. Building a data center means you can't simultaneously build a house anywhere nearby the construction site as that would cause the local emiss

The author only got 7Gbps with a Framework 13 and a 10G adapter from the same brand (WisdPi). If this is the same adapter in a different housing, will it also be limited to 7Gbps?
