  • How much I would love if EU pulled a USB-C on printer ink/toner.

    “All printers must be compatible with one of these X possible formats of ink/toner. Lockdown is forbidden too”

    Sure the printers would be more expensive but I am sure we would see an incredible improvement in quality and decrease in ink/toner cost

  • And Russia. Funny how sometimes you need a small nudge from a military/strategic threat for doing the right thing 🤷

  • This! The point of automation is rarely saving time. The point of automation is increasing quality.

    It can be a data quality, it can be mitigating a production risk, can be avoiding regression.

    Heck even unit tests are automation (you may just manually test your code once and call the day).

    I am not saying that automation is always good, but the evaluation should be

    1. what is the cost of production/data quality/regression gone wild? (Possibly in€/$/¥)
    2. what is the cost of the person/team performing the task over 1 Year (Again, £€$¥)
    3. what is the expected cost of the person/team implementing automation?

    Then you do (3)*3 - (1) *3 - (2). Is it positive? You do, is it negative you? You don’t. The more it’s positive the higher the priority of doing.

    Why the *3? The first because the expected cost of automation is always massively underestimated The second because it takes multiple times something goes wrong till the decision is reconsidered 🙂

    Why 1 year? Because generally the task to automatize changes or disappear

  • This article is totally not sponsored by Apple 🙄🙄🙄

    So many BS points

  • I am here with my popcorn to see how well this will play for those CEOs.

    We are in an age in which getting to a power position is a reality show. You don’t need to know how to do anything, really. It’s enough that you have charisma and trigger emotions (possibly negative emotions, they work better)

  • EU always escalate slowly. Eventually it enforces though (e.g., USB-C, GDPR).

    Given the companies are almost all US based and US historically have been very defensive of their businesses (not only in IT) this seems a pretty reasonable approach for avoiding diplomacy escalations.

    IMO DMA will be fully enforced in 3-4 years (and collecting some Billions here and there in the process). First in line for the few initial billions: Meta and Microsoft. We’ll see what comes next

  • Penalties for DMA is 10% of global turnover for first offense and 20% of global turnover for subsequent offenses and, eventually, further penalties like the prevention to acquire companies.

    DMA is not a joke (and I <3 EU, DMA is a very balanced law aggressive on the big player and not impacting small players)

  • Sure, it’s less bad. It’s not good though.

    If I did accounting (or even just cooking, really) for the Mafia would be less bad than actually going with a gun to tether or kill people but it would still be bad.

    Why? Because it still helps an organisation which core mission is hurting people.

    And it’s purely out of greed because ChatGPT doesn’t desperately need this application otherwise they will go bankrupt

  • Didn’t it die together with all other 3rd party clients?

  • VSCode + Foam + gitea (+ hexcalidraw if you want to draw)

  • Are you doing ok?

  • I guess they may have thought you were there only for the "legal speed".

    I would just try another doctor... I would not take it personally... Albeit it sucks you had the experience 😕
