If your server has member accounts in the EU, or is publicly viewable in the EU, your service is most likely impacted by this regulation, even if you are not based or hosted in the EU.
I am not pleased by the EU’s attempts to assert extraterritorial jurisdiction just because things are viewable in the EU, and I hope that non-EU countries will not cooperate with any attempts to enforce it. Of course they do have jurisdiction over big tech firms that have a physical and legal presence there.
Imagine Russia or Iran doing something similar and the problem becomes obvious. The EU can, of course create a Great Firewall and block internet services that don’t comply with its laws, but I think most of its citizens wouldn’t tolerate that.
The article is aimed at people running fediverse servers, most of whom are not doing it as a business. Someone running a Lemmy server in Brazil shouldn’t have to know or care about EU laws.
Companies who do business in those countries generally have a dedicated arm to deal with those countries
So do bigger tech companies that do business in the EU, and that’s why they’re unambiguously subject to EU laws.
The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?...
Southwest assigns you a position in line. You can pay for a better one. Their passengers don’t spend a lot of time waiting in ad-hoc lines before their group is called like other airlines.
It’s hard to use any kind of auto exposure for something like that. Only spot highlight metering has much chance, but most photographers would use manual.
There are manual options for phones, but most phones don’t have a long enough telephoto lens option to get good eclipse photos.
I wonder what their motivation for disabling the unlock tool is. It seems unlikely that will increase profits and it’s likely to cost a handful of sales (I’m one of them).
Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don’t know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months....
While you’re probably right in the narrow sense that the best decision for owners of this specific hardware is to replace it, this is a shitty situation in a broader sense. We should not have to throw away working hardware because the manufacturer abandons it.
I don’t own a printer because it’s 2024 and the only good reason to own a printer is photo/art prints at a scale where outsourcing it isn’t economical.
I’m aware other reasons exist, but they’re bad reasons that mostly boil down to someone being bad at computers.
If the people responsible for whatever paper trail requirement there is in Dojan’s company or legal jurisdiction haven’t figured out some time in the past quarter century that this internet thing isn’t a passing fad, and started using digital communications and recordkeeping in a way that offsets its own cost in a relatively short period of time, the person or organization responsible for that decision is bad at computers.
compared to the States, apparently bog standard there is like 87?
That’s not quite accurate. Octane ratings in most parts of the world are RON, which tends to be 8-12 points higher than the more difficult MON rating. In North America, the average of the two is used resulting in a lower rating for the same fuel.
Overtaking damn near anything would redline the (very new, less than 10k miles) engine.
While this suggests it might have been underpowered, how high the engine revs during acceleration in a modern automatic transmission vehicle is determined by software that operates the transmission and the driver’s control inputs, not how old the engine is. The designers of the car probably decided that was the best way to deliver the performance you asked for. They may even have been correct in that assessment.
Several messaging services that started on PCs already had mobile apps when Whatsapp got big so there must be a bit more to it than that. AIM, Skype, and several others were viable options with existing userbases.
