The GDPR basically says that you can either paywall it or not, but you can't provide your content for free only if you accept tracking. Facebook is in hot water right now for this exact thing.

So no, it is not GDPR compliant.

I am not a huge sound nerd, but I own a pair of these buds and had to take them out at a busy railway station because it was weirdly quiet and couldn't hear the trains. I think the noise-cancelling is great.

I also own an XL pair, and I have two complaints:

I have a big head, and it puts some pressure on the thing as clamps on my head, I've broken two of the little plastic parts between the pads and the top arch so far. It was from material exhaustion, they snapped. Silver lining was it was super easy to swap out, literally 20 seconds with only a screwdriver and a single screw, and I got their customer support to send me a replacement part in a week both times.

I hear odd noises when I try to use it when plugged in and charging. I suspect it might have to do with Windows, but still. It's barely usable, but the charge lasts long enough to make me not care.

Yes, I've seen digital embargoes preventing companies in other countries doing business in mine, because their legal environment differs from ours.

Google Analytics got banned in several European countries comes to mind. I remember some small blogs writing about that, not much else.

We better enshrine the monopolies of current big tech companies into law to be sure.

OpenSUSE also had a TUI installer IIRC, it's YaST-adjacent.

Yeah it is, and I'm happy about it being posted, it's not that. I should be less sarcastic and more direct, I am just getting jaded. Thanks for pointing it out.

I guess what I am saying is more that of course the US is going to try to limit Russian influence and trade, just as Russia does as much as it can. Same with China and Tiktok and whatever.

It's reasonable, it's actually one of the more reasonable things the US does. There are a ton of people around here who cosplay as communists while rooting for fascist Putin who try to blow these things up as an attack on free trade or freedom of speech.

It's not like Putin's people literally wrote and published a book about how they want to do election interference using stuff like this.

Country in a trade war / cold war with another country decides to block imports of some product from said other country, citing fears of the product being poisoned. It's barely news.

I think you're both right. A lot of meetings are one person talking and the others listening, that could have been an email. Actual back-and-forth discussion needs to be verbal though, otherwise what could be resolved in 10 minutes takes a week.

Even if they do, they get bonuses for short term stock gain, not long term stuff. If the going gets bad, they totally do bail. Some companies - khm Reddit khm - even bring in execs just to take a fall when that happens, only for the same guys who set the problem up to take back the reins after the fallout.

Not by next quarter. By the time that happens, this set of execs will be already at the next company.

The thing is, the vast majority of terrorist attacks and assassinations are organized by rich people using poor people as pawns to further their political agenda. Such things are rarely born from people who are in touch with society and are compassionate with others.

9/11 was organized by rich people to get back at other rich people for attacking their business. Even today's right wing crazies only exist because there is a propaganda machine running on obscene wealth whipping desperate people into a frenzy.

My point is that if they make something novel, which is a very good driver assist system for general use, it's fine to compare it with previous versions of itself, since they might be market leaders there. But since Musk says they are trying to compete with the robotaxi companies, now every positive achievement will be compared to their competition, not themselves.

I'm not saying Tesla is not getting better, or even how good it is, I'm just saying Musk just massively raised the bar on expectations, and not even in a way that would get their stock up substantially.
