What a weird parallel universe the guy appears to be living in. Somehow the EU making requirements for its financial aid is the equivalent of a foreign nation trying to conquer Hungary? All the while, Hungary is free to secede from the EU.
Good idea. I wonder if the implementation works correctly though:
A surcharge linked to fast fashion’s ecological footprint of five euros ($5.45) per item is planned from next year, rising to 10 euros by 2030. The charge cannot, however, exceed 50 percent of an item’s price tag.
So the 1€ shirt from Shein is going to cost 1.5€? That's not going to have much effect when sustainable shirts start around 15€.
I also guess Chinese marketplaces may still evade the law by hiding behind exaggerated shipping costs or maybe even splitting up into multiple entities with a lower release cadence. Afaics, people already buy clothing from sketchy, Tiktok-advertised Shopify sites.
I really don't see the what the fuss is in this thread. The source does make it seem a bit nefarious, but even so, it appears the changes in VLC amount to adding support for a streaming format and adding a channel listing of some sort.
FAST is simply a streaming format. Whether to run ads is an individual decision of each channel.
If I can have a streaming client that can play certain streams versus one that can't, I'll obviously pick the former. (Unless they employ a DRM scheme which does weird things to my devices but it doesn't appear that's part of the discussion here.)
This is nonsense. For one, I've been showering high pressure/low flow for the past two years and not only does it save money and energy, it's also enjoyable (to me anyway). For two, it's whataboutism. Yes, industry and agriculture consume a ton more water. That doesn't mean you can't take positive steps though, especially when they save money as well.
People here buy desktops only for gaming/content creation, which means most households here doesn't need/require a desktop.
You just described the entire world. This is far from unique to India. Most people I know don't have a desktop and maybe have a laptop, and I live in North America.
Pretty sure that they mean that most people's only device is a phone. Desktops and laptops are basically the same thing, packaged slightly differently.
USB-C on phones is a good thing. The reason why the USB-C requirement passed while pressure on the Hungarian government fails is not because more people worked on the USB-C directive than work on strategies to pressure the Hungarian government. Rather there were considerably fewer people working against the USB-C directive.
If you look around, there are tons of people who claim that all of the primary energy used today needs to be provided by renewables in the future (and that that's impossible).
H is for half year. So, H1 = first half of the year.
Also, I never knew the four-digit build numbers were related to months. I always thought they were just creating builds and seeing which ones stick. Those that didn't wouldn't be shipped.
They could’ve sold Windows 2000 as Windows NT 5 and Windows Me as Windows 2000; that would’ve kept the “NT X” versioning scheme for the professional line and the year-based scheme for the consumer line.
That's true of course. But iirc, Microsoft itself was on the fence of whether to release Me at all or whether to go straight to what would become XP, the release that united both lines of Windows. I guess that might explain somewhat why the NT product people felt it ok to steal the year-based versioning scheme of DOS-based Windows..?
Actually, you're speaking about three product lines: Xboxes, regular old Windows, and Windows NT. Hence also the weird contortions with Windows Me ("Millennium Edition"): They couldn't name it Windows 2000, because that version had been released half a year earlier. They couldn't really name it Windows 2001 either, because that would have implied it being better than (or even related to) Windows 2000.
Let's maybe also look at the fact that these are in fact European-educated students rather than just people with the wrong nationality. Throwing them out of the EU will not only generate ill will toward the EU but nearly universally be a loss to their former host country.
Right now, it's really impractical to block all imports from China. China has concentrated a lot of manufacturing knowledge which in many cases exists nowhere else.
Blocking Russia was comparatively easy. They have fossil oil, fossil gas, uranium products, noble gases, metals, grains, and, I guess, mustard (did I forget anything?). The only thing on this list that can't easily be replaced with other sources are the uranium products. And indeed, all EU nations with nuclear power still depend on Russia in some way but don't want to admit that to themselves.
Even philosophically, I find it hard to justify trade barriers based exclusively on location rather than on actual labor/environmental practices (perhaps excepting the case where—ahem—a country starts a war for no reason). Because that just risks replacing one evil with another.
Though maybe, what you mean is actually not trading with any autocratic nation. This, though philosophically consistent, is an action I would expect to be so disrupting as to result in upheaval.
I am not using it, but you can also try Opensuse Kubic. The twist here is that you don't get a completely immutable ISO-type base installation but rather you have an at-boot updateable/customizable base installation image that can't be changed while the OS is running.
