I guess this change would work in conjunction with requirements to support sideloading in the EU too.

It's really tough to run a business when your competitors are all free as in freedom (Firefox) or free as in funded by monopolistic megacorps (Google, Apple, Microsoft).
Or join the EFF which already does great work in this area. They don't always succeed, but I doubt a GoFundMe could do better.
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. Here in the Netherlands, DuckDuckGo results are poor for anything local. I fall back to Google relatively frequently, although for day to day stuff it's quite okay. I do often head straight to Wikipedia....
Same in the Netherlands.
The American legal system has made a conscious decision to require public trials (so accused are public) with the right to face your accuser (so victims are public). This does remove privacy, but the idea is that the trade off is worth it to avoid people being "convinced" in secret trials.
You may disagree with this trade off, but it's baked in and changing it would be a big difference. Some exceptions exist, I think, but IANAL.
Did I? I'm not sure how. The person visiting would only use the verification request once. It's only good for a single request. How could this be used for tracking?
The problem is that if a porn site has the information they can be compelled to pass that information on, or it can be revealed by data breaches.
Batteries for phones sold in the EU will all be replaceable within 3.5 years:
The new rules foresee that batteries will need to be easier to remove and replace, while consumers are better informed. Portable batteries in appliances should be designed so that users can easily remove and replace them. This requirement will become mandatory three-and-a-half years after the rules enter into force.
The EU actually forced companies to help consumers, so they are already planning to comply... even Apple.
I sense a lot of dislike for self-checkouts and wonder why they are done so poorly where other people live. In Holland they are fine. You can self-scan with either a portable scanner or your phone while you shop, or scan the items at checkout. I've literally never had to wait for a free machine, and they work well. Some people use the registers with humans scanning for you, and they seem fine too.
