They are probably working on lower margins in the US for a few years to gain market control. They got rich in Europe they can break even in the us and still win.

Also they own “Schwarz Gruppe” which is a huge conglomerate including lidl. They also have cloud hosting, publishing, research etc. They are aiming to be the european alphabet (Google)

As much as I don’t want people to suffer, but if we get a “century flood” every year for 5 years in a row MAYBE people will start to think and vote for a gouvernment focused on climate protection

Not in the current EV market. People want EVs but they only exist as luxury cars from European brands. Asia is producing cheaper cars and that’s why they win. Many people can not afford to spend 70000€ on a new car. Even if it is “better” than the Chinese one.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Movie or TV series. 42 is the answer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”

Its the funny number of gen alpha. Like 42 for millenials. But there is no meaning behind it. Its just six seven. That’s it.

Commas are not pauses though. You dont put a comma just because you would put a pause in a spoken sentence. They are a part of grammar meant to reduce ambiguity by separating parts of a sentence.

Very often, you can remove the part separated by the comma and still end up with a full sentence (the “very often” can be removed). If you remove the “True Love” from your post, the rest is not a sentence anymore (here the whole “if …” part can be removed).

Just accept that the comma is wrong…

That’s just not true. Bottles are made from 4 different plastics that all have to be separated for recycling (bottle, label, cap+ribbon, soft part inside the cap to make a waterproof seal). The ribbon part the cap is attached to is also present in bottles where the cap is not attached and it has to be removed anyway. So nothing really changed there except the part that has to be removed is bigger now.

Despite what right wing nuts that have to be against every progress say, there is literally no downside to this law.

But the biggest improvement is from nature cleanup crews that previously always found the bottles but never the caps.

In the EU bottle caps have to be attached to the bottle so they stay together when thrown away. Everyone working in recycling and especially people working in stuff like river cleanups praise how this is a gigantic improvement. It is universally a good thing.

Even Coca Cola used it in advertising to sell how environmentally friendly they are (by not breaking the law). However they are only doing it in countries where it is legally required and nowhere else.

Well they did say it would be possible in 5 years …

Why does OP have a stick with encrypted data if they do not care about its security?

Yes, maybe its just the porn collection that they don’t want others to see, but maybe its actually important stuff.

I think it is important to inform people about the ways their security can be circumvented and if somebody gives security advice its important to inform people if that advice contains flaws.

OP should know about the potential risks and then decide themselves if that is acceptable to them.

And when talking about encryption, people often forget, that the best way to break it is to never attack the encryption, but attack the way people interact with the unencrypted data.

OP should know about the dangers of decrypting their USB with software that could be manipulated.

Is all that overkill in 95% of cases? Probably? Do we know OP isn’t in the 5% where it matters? No.

Maybe they want to hide something from someone in their household who has frequent access to the USB stick. Maybe they are a journalist that might get searched by police/airport security … we do not know and we shouldn’t make assumptions about their threat model.

That’s why I started the comment with “reasonable approach”

This is a reasonable way to do it HOWEVER this only protects you against data loss in case of a lost USB stick. If attackers get access to the stick and place it back into your possession afterwards, they can manipulate the portable veracryp so you will run their malware to decrypt the data. The malicious veracryp could then either save the password you entered (hidden somewhere on the USB for the attacker after they steal the stick again) or just upload the whole decrypted data to an attacker server.

If you use the portable veracryp you need to make sure it has not been tampered with.

Well actually decrypting the data on any device you do not trust is risky for the same reason. If veracryp is installed on a machine you still have to trust the person that owns that machine to not have manipulated it or to not have been a victim of malware themselves.

TL:DR decrypting the data on any device you don’t control yourself is risky and optimally you could install veracrypt on any device you control.

No. A bubble is when, on paper, money goes up, but no real value (products, amenities, innovations) are created to back it up.

There have been a shit ton of new creations in the last 70 years. A lot of inflated paper money as well but its mostly not a bubble

No the point of this discussion is about having one single yes/no question about the standard or a list of features.

Then no browser will be “up to” the last 15 years of the standard as none implement all features.

The problem is that the standard is fucking huge and maybe your browser supports every feature of version 5xx but is missing a feature related to authentication using guinea pigs introduced in v369. So it would only be allowed to advertise compatibility with v368 even though it can do everything except Guinea pigs.

Realistically you would trim the standard to a core set and advertise compatibility with a version of that and then advertise optional extensions. And that’s optional bits if you ask me.

Isnt cryengine from Europe? Not sure what their licencing is but I seem to remember there being non crytek games in cryengine

Eh I think its fine. Its just

clean hair --condition

or

clean body --moisturize

And its not like literally any cleaning product on the market isn’t just a wrapper around libclean anyway

Edit: libclean is deprecated, now its all either libsoap or its newer fork libpid

If it is even possible for it to hallucinate a session, it is implemented wrong. It should start transcribing once the session starts and everything it transcribed is saved as that session. Once the session stops the AI is turned of. It never has a chance to hallucinate a season because the AI never decides what a session is.

But we all know the AI will run permanently with full access to read, edit and delete everything…

More like epiphytic. The table neither gains nor looses with or without the corner.

But it is absolutely definitely not parasitic!
