Decent? I know I’ve heard about him before he decided to go to Russia to be arrested and slowly killed.

I still don’t understand why he committed suicide-by-Putin.
Did he really have more influence as a martyr in prison than a free man in exile?
I see two three pin 3.5mm stereo plugs (one of them color coded for the headphones and one for the mic), and zero 4-pin combo plugs?
How many of these mosques show secondary explosions after getting hit?
Weird. The article does have today’s date but only mentions the Nov 10 decision. I think maybe what happened today is the publication of the full text of the decision?
It’d be great if that was how it works, unfortunately it seems like the penalties are closer to once every 3-5 years than monthly, skewing the balance even further to “screw the law, just pay the fee”:(
I’d say that’s a huge problem actually.
For a normal company, abusing data is a small part of their business and profit is a few percent of revenue, so such a fine would be devastating.
For some tech companies, profit is in the double digit percent of revenue and half of it comes from breaking the law, so the 4% are a tax they can happily pay and still be more profitable than if they followed the law.
Same misleading nonsense. If you follow the links it becomes obvious that it’s the old news banning FB from using the data on the basis of contract and legitimate interest - which they’re avoiding by claiming “consent” after people choose that they’d rather not pay a triple-digit amount per year to use the site.
No, the article is just regurgitating old news and the old misleading claim (omitting the critical part that they’re only banned from using data “on the basis of contract and legitimate interest”).
This “news” is what made Facebook start with the “agree or pay” bullshit.

Sometimes they also came up with literal malware as DRM.

Enforcing DRM has a big downside: it paints a massive target on the DRM implementation, and it will likely end up getting broken.
Within Germany, those are typically seen as extremely old-fashioned, “verkrustet”. Bad at innovation, not modern in culture, etc.
I have no idea how true that is, but it’s a perception that doesn’t help them attract talent.
The other issue is that big tech are money printing machines. Google makes a profit of more than $300k per employee (that’s already after paying the high salaries!), Bosch less than $5k.
Tech companies are paying much better because they can also afford it, unlike everyone else.
Piped experience: page loaded, play button did nothing. After a large number of taps it finally played, for about 20 seconds, then reloaded mid-play.
Imagine, 100 people trying to load a video from your single hard drive, it’s not fast enough for that.
YouTube 1080p is 8-10 Mbit/s according to what I could find. That’d be 100-125 MByte/s for 100 people. I think my SSD is more than fast enough for that.
Even better, a 1 Gbps connection is also (just) enough to actually upload the video to those 100 people.
And with 100+ people watching, P2P distribution should work really well too.
Hopefully in a clean container though?
If they need to drop the wage threshold, the problem doesn’t seem to be a lack of skilled labor, it seems to be a lack of cheap skilled labor.
So, why was Boeing selling them until two of them crashed due to zero redundancy on a system capable of crashing the plane that was designed to add control inputs but was kept secret from pilots?
This one specific issue was addressed. Who knows which other compromises they had to make (and hide)…
That sounds like something Jackass would do.
