Speaking of swapping, I switched from android to iphone last spring since my old android phone croaked on teams and I couldn't get a new xperia fast enough. The switch was actually relatively painless when it comes to the apps themselv

For severe breaches the maximum is actually €20 million or 4% of global revenue [1] whichever is higher. For smaller breaches it is 2%. [1] https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/fines-penalties/

You can't really trick them into consenting either as the law specifies you need a informed consent. Just having a flag in the database that the user ticked without knowing what they agreed to does not qualify.

Yep, In Norway too there is a specific law that say consumers can't negotiate a worse deal than the actual consumer protection laws. This includes warranty and repairs too. I guess EU have something similar since we adopt a lot of the

Do any desktop system handle mixed DPI well? I mainly use Linux so I don't know, but one of my work laptops have windows on it and it freaks out every time I connect it to a 4k monitor. At least in linux I can use triggers and xrandr [

This would be illegal on so many levels in my country. It is also not compliant with GDPR but I suspect these are not selling in Europe. But this is in line with the general idea that anything you put online in some form will be public at s

I think in many English speaking countries there is little understanding that these are actually distinct characters in other countries. It also seems popular to use the Danish/Norwegian ø instead of o, one example is an energy drink c

Anyone know how this compares to Das Keyboard [1] that I am currently using? I have two IBM model M from the 80s that still work. They're currently assigned to my server room though not daily use. [1] https://www.daskeyboard

Note that this is 10% of revenue so it is quite substantial.

They are aiming to ban fossils completely in the city centre in Oslo anyway now. I think about 60% of the cars in the city are EVs already.

You will end up with "Computer says no" situations if there are no knowledgable humans that review the decisions from the models. It's really no different in banks but they are regulated and must provide proper reasoning to d

They're doing that in Oslo now, many street parking slots are getting 22 kW poles next to them. It's just a matter of political will.

Do you have one for drive train? I only see general issues there. The old model S they have in this comparison had a lot of baby issues with other stuff, but very few drive train issues.

I recently drove over 800 km in my Hyundai Ioniq 28 kWh EV, it only took 1 hour more than when I drive my Tesla. Most of that time was spent eating or stretching legs anyway so it is fully possible to take longer trips :)

Where do you find this data? I'm quite curious, most of my co-workers (and me) drive Teslas and there has yet been any drive train issues in any of ours. Two of them have gone over 500.000 km. But what I see is pure anecdotal. All I ca

A native app for windows and linux would be nice, but the electron app that is currently used doesn't have any major flaws except the usual electron memory and performance problems. It does perform a lot of disk IO on startup so if you

You get much more signals from an app than a web page or god forbid just local data. It is probably why companies like reddit push their app so hard that it almost makes using the web page on mobile impossible. I've been trying to find

Yeah, I'm not saying we are peak intelligence, but it took us almost 4 billion years to reach the point where we even can ask the question "Are we alone?". Much of the early universe had conditions that were not as stable and

Now I am confused, maybe because I am not religious. But I have always been under the impression that the christians claim jesus is the only son of their god? Wouldn't other sons conflict with this and not reinforce it?

Inciting violence is illegal in most countries, you can still prosecute people who participate in such actions with a decentralised system. You might not be able to remove their speech but it would still have consequences (again in most cou
