It was fairly popular in Germany in the late 80s / early 90s.

And not more credence than TFA. GDPR has legally very little to do with cookie banners as other comments have already pointed out. I am pretty sure nobody has been ever improsened because of not asking consent for storing cookies. Even for

In my first aid class in a 230V country we were taught: Someone who got an electric shock always needs to visit the emergency room, even if they seem to be fine. Reason: fibrillation has to be ruled out or stopped. So 230V stops it does not

Is there any data about how many people die in electricity related accidents? 230 V sounds like a dangerous voltage to touch. On the other hand I read a long time ago 120 V causes way more home fires because of higher currents.

At least it is search engine friendly. Recently had to search for code snippets for the 30 year old "expect" tool. Was rather difficult and I thought, well the Web is younger than that tool, they could not imagine a search engine.

It's an incorrect statement. An MMS is delivered by sending an SMS to the recipient phone and the phone fetching the message via http. Very unlike SMTP.

I don't want to be online on my phone, except when I decide that I want to browse the Web because I have spare time or need some information. SMS is perfect when I want someone to reach me in a timely manner. Well, luckily I live in co

I cannot confirm that. When I was younger I liked traveling to far countries like the US, Australia, New Zealand (living in Europe) To the US I would no longer travel for political reasons, and generally I try not to fly anymore when not ne

Right, that's a requirement at ticket inspections. At least in theory, in practice in 99% it's not going to be checked. For buying it, ID might be required at some sellers, but typically it's not.

App stores are not global. I remember someone saying a certain D-Ticket app not being available in their country. I vaguely remember you can switch the country, but it's a hassle and can cause problems with other apps you have. Another

Citizenship is definitely not relevant. Owning a SEPA account is a precondition at most sellers, even a German SEPA account at some, although the latter has been decided unlawful by courts before. However, another comment somewhere mentions

I have known about Tcl since the 1990s. I remember Stallman advising not use it. Maybe he did not like the license? Yesterday, over 30 years later I was forced to write my first code. Noticed that a Cisco switch had an incredibly bad ssh im

That's your perspective. The federal government is not interested. Tourist regions are interested, but of course they usually do not cooperate with others, so every one invents their own thing. So you end up what Germans call a ticket

There is no "the app". There are 100s of sellers, and each of them has different processes. Some sell smart cards at the ticket windows, most have apps, and some have both. Only the price and the basic rules of validity are nation

Source? I seriosly doubt that. Yes, it's difficult to find a suitable seller, but it's neither forbidden nor impossible.

The political reasoning was that it's for commuters only. Tourism is not a big thing on federal level, so they don't want to subsidize tickets for tourists. Tourist areas sometimes have special tourist tickets for their guests.

It's a subscription requiring a German bank account in most cases. In theory any SEPA account should work, but it's a well-known problem that sellers break the law and accept only domestic accounts. However, reportedly a small num

That grub has security vulnerabities does not surprise me, it's just too big. That's why Lennart recommends systemd-boot. (Incidently a Microsoft employee, but I have no information that he would have been involved in these discov

There is a deal between antitrust regulators (would need to look up who exactly...) and Microsoft that secure boot on x86 must allow to install your own keys and thereby alternative operating systems. It does not cover any other architectur

Good point. On a video recording system we had problems with dropped frames from the USB camera. When an external USB keyboard was connected the problems became rarer. Obviously the keyboard kept some component to enter deeper energy states

Didn't those adapters exist in both directions? Green in one and violet in the other? I have the feeling if I started to dig in my treasures I should still find some. One way to avoid e-waste is not to throw anything away...

Sligthly (un)related: The other day the builtin keyboard on my rather new Thinkpad X1C 12th stopped working. I connected a USB keyboard and tried to figure out whether there was an error in Linux kernel ring buffer or anything else explaini

No I don't think so. You have to able to take your own data out for free. But delivering it to everybody else can be charged. Edit: Not allowed to comment on your reply anymore. I read it as a confirmation of what I said. Charging for

First of all while punctuality is not good, the majority of delays is at most 60 minutes. On many lines there is a train every hour, more in denser areas. So for the majority of the delays, zero refund. And then even if entitled for a refun

It's the default browser, a Firefox derivation. But I guess the reason is just that the OS does not have fonts with enough codepoonts.

But Unicode is such a historically grown monster that it violates its own rules in many places.
