  • High levels of ‘forever chemical’ found in cereal products across Europe – study

  • At this moment they are discussing doing that, but that does not mean it has already passed or is going to pass

  • Germany votes to bring in voluntary military service programme for 18-year-olds

  • I believe the point is not to replace the existing carreer soldiers, but to train up part of the population to increase the size of your reserve forces.

    That way, if war were to break out, you have a pool of trained civilians to draw from until you finish training your new recruits.

  • Fire the trade bazooka!Quality news headline right there

  • Even millionaires don't feel wealthy these days

    Jump

  • A million today may not be worth as much as a million 35 years ago, but a million still undeniably makes you wealthy even today. Heck.. even 400k in 2025 would make you decently wealthy. You can live a quite comfortable life with that kind of money

    I'm not exactly a fan of pretending that millionaires are somehow struggling, and if they don't "feel wealthy" they should take a good hard look at the lives of people in the middle class or lower.

    Edit: This all feels very similar to that claim I've been seeing going around recently that somehow an income of 100k per year would be a poverty wage, even though it's twice the mean income of US housholds.

    If you can't make ends meet with 100k per month in income or one million in the bank, you might just need to spend a little less lavishly. Your life will still be comfortable, I promise.

  • Won't someone think of the poor millionaires?

  • America’s oldest ally in Asia is drawing closer to China

    Jump

  • Expect more to follow. America is clearly showing that they cannot be trusted as an ally, so countries are going to make the calculation whether it might just be better to align with China instead

  • Haven't we always been at war with Eurasia?

  • Europe thinks the unthinkable: Retaliating against Russia

  • Okay, but then don't come crying that your "allies" aren't helping you the next time y'all decide to invade the Middle East

  • The Phone You Don't Need To Feel Bad About

    Jump

  • I'm currently in that boat. My phone is functional and I do not yet need to upgrade (Google Pixel 6a)

    But at the same time I've been trying to rid myself of relying on American companies and services in my life.My phone, being a Pixel, is a Google device, running Google services, and receiving updates from Google. I can instal alternative apps like Proton Mail and Ecosia search, but at it's core it's still a Google device.

    Fairphone is European, and that is part of the reason why I want to see them become succesful. We need to forster more home-grown tech companies to counter our reliance on America.

    As a bonus I also higly respect their mission statement. We need more repairable devices on the market, and I also want their company to be succesful to prove that that demand exists.

    So I've been considering upgrading, even though I technically don't need an upgrade quite yet. Maybe I'll wait a few more months for the price to drop to 450 euro-ish and then I'll switch.

  • If you can't have sex with the sex-machine making machine, what even is the point?

  • Walker S1 humanoid robot starts factory work at BYD

  • There is a difference between human-scale and humanoid.

    Human-scale just means the robot needs to fit in a space where humans should also fit, while humanoid means it is supposed to resemble a humans not just in size, but also in shape. A humanoid robot would generally have a torso, two arms, two legs, and probably a head.

    As an example, a roomba fits in a human environment but is not humanoid. You could hypothetically make a humanoid robot that is capable of using an ordinary vacuum to vacuum the same space, but it would be significantly more complex and more expensive to do that. A purpose-built roomba is a much more cost-effective solution for cleaning up after humans.

  • Walker S1 humanoid robot starts factory work at BYD

    Jump

  • Given that it's a humanoid robot, I suspect that this is more of a marketing stunt than any practical deployment of robots.

    Humanoid robots don't make a ton of sense in manufacturing. Why mimic the sub-optimal anatomy of a human when you can make your robotic work slave have any appendage you want, which are designed to be optinal for their task along the assembly line?

    Humanoid robots mostly only make sense in spaces that need to be designed for humans (like homes or hospitals) where the robot needs to regularly interact with human infrastructure.

  • Any specific reason why they should be phones older than 2020?

  • I'm not sure if the question "How do you travel to work?" paints a complete picture.

    I live in the Netherlands, and like many fellow countrymen I commute to work by car because it is the most convenient option. But other trips I make on a daily basis are usually either on foot or by bike, and if I go somewhere in the weekend I regularly take the train.

  • My guess would be either London, Paris or Berlin

  • Hypothetically the police could come with a warrant and force you to hand over the footage you recorded. It's a higher barrier than if footage is being uploaded to the cloud, but it can still happen.

    And even if the cameras are not uploading their footage to the cloud, it still wouldn't sit well with me if every other house has a camera pointed at the public street

    Where I live it is technically illegal to record the public street with an automated camera, but it's not really being enforced. So there is Ring cameras everywhere.
