Over here in Germany encryption is most definitely illegal. This includes encoded messages only the intended recipient could decode.

The loser of a lawsuit always has to cover the cost of the lawsuit, including the other party's lawyer fees (except in cases where the state attorney sues and a bunch of other exceptions like when an employee starts a labor dispute). They are very much capped based on the disputed sum though. The higher the dispute, the higher the attorney fees you have to pay when losing.

For example, if the disputed sum is 5000€ the base lawyer fees are ~390€. It can then be multiplied by some factor - I think 2.5 is the maximum but I'm unsure - depending on the length and difficulty of the case.

They aren't a punishment but rather a consequence of losing a lawsuit.

They are also usually covered by your legal protection insurance which is generally recommended to have.

US awarded "damages" are utterly insane.

How do the judges even come up with those numbers? By rolling a die?

I'm really happy to live in a country where the awarded damages must only cover the damage amount and the damaged party mustn't profit from them.

USB-C requires a lot of space for charging, data transfer etc.

Let's remove it too and make phones rely on wireless charging instead.

I just use RED. The user collages are pretty nice to find new albums.

If Batman appeared I would also immediately start believing in him.

That doesn't make me Batman-agnostic though.

AI literally produces better answers than 99% of ad supported, SEOptimized websites.

That's saying not a lot about AI though. It tells you how utterly awful searching the web is thanks to those sites.

It's literally the exact opposite. This guy isn't a ghost. He's a fucking beacon.

Want to be as stealthy as possible? Then be as "normal" as possible. Use only corporate social media and use it frequently. Pay for Adobe Reader. Engage in celebrity gossip and drama.

And then, once you have manufactured this persona, you can actually remain hidden from surveillance and do whatever you want to remain hidden.

which can also be gotten literally anywhere other than work

Can it? For absolutely everyone, regardless of (mental) health? No one benefits from being monetarily pressured to interact with people even if the interaction is only surface level?

Nah, basic torrenting can be done without P2P. It just takes more time and fewer torrents work.

Honestly, it does sound a bit like a hardware defect somewhere. Usually everything should work OOTB unless you are doing something really specific.

If you haven't already done so, try updating the BIOS.

You mentioned the RAM being fine - have you run Memtest86+ for several hours? One pass is usually not enough to rule out memory malfunctions.

If you have a spare drive, try installing Linux Mint on it. If it still crashes, you can rule out Windows (and if it doesn't, you could install a clean Windows on that same drive and try again).

You could also purchase a cheap AM4 motherboard (they start at like 60 bucks) to check if the issues still occur and refund it within the return window.

wenn er die fehlende Fähigkeit des Jugendlichen zur sexuellen Selbstbestimmung ausnutzt

This paragraph is the important one. A court must first rule the teenager was not mature enough to bang an adult. Courts have ruled sexual inexperience alone is not sufficient to convict someone. The inability of a 14 year old to consent must be proven in order to convict an adult for banging a 14 year old.
