Not OP but my guess would be moderation tools.

If you think that you are under 20 or have been living under a rock.
You’re close to the point but missed the elephant. The valuable thing we’re fighting over in this case is all the data collected by the cars.
Automakers lose some access when it’s Apple or Google serving the infotainment. Apple and Google also get access to this data for free.
Social media. That is how.
EU is waking up to the danger to democracy that is unregulated social networks ruled by trolls and dysonformation. They would be glad for them to leave.
This article is such a mess. It just clobbers together talking points, speculation, and suspicion into a word salad
The MOUs in the past were a marketing steps to prevent each state from inventing a new set of rules. It worked.
Yeah - of course such “self regulation” is never as good as an advocate’s wet dream. Any law passed will also be bypassed. They will never try to build a taller wall. It’s in their business interest.
But there is a legitimately win-win situation in a national MOU taking say the CA law and applying it nationally. If you at all feel the CA law is good, it will spread it to shit states that would never care about their citizens’ right to repair on their own.
For the corps it is indeed a nightmare to let 50 states pass 50 different set of rules. The whole point of the IS market is that that does not happen. That there is one set of rules.
But yeah. They will fight any law that is passed. Any MOU they sign will not be perfect. And of course before the ink is even dry on the MOU the corps will be working on ways to subvert and bypass it.
PS: No MOU actually prevents states from passing new laws. It just tries to make a marketing claim “you do not have to spend effort on it- we are doing a good job already”. But that only lasts for as long as the MOU is not bypassed.
In general. Construction can be made very cheap in dictatorships.
The other thing making things cheap is scale.
China did a lot of things well, but especially on point 1 - we need to hold the line.
Lots of projects are expensive in the west because we care about nature, quality, worker safety and the communities impacted by the work (but also because this all opens the doors to malicious bad faith legal battles that make projects stupid expensive)
Truth. Very good point.
Miele now us a few bagless models with pretty good reviews. But they are a late comer compared to Dyson and Samsung.
It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.
Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.
Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.
My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.
They campaigned hard on it. Especially in reopening two reactors closed by international treat as they built it literally next to Copenhagen. Then I heard nothing about it at all.
It seems it was a cynical populist campaign and there in no real goal to do anything at all.
From what I understand (I may be understanding little), Saudis responded opposite the western requests and seemingly in coordination with Russia cut output, and have been cutting output. Driving up energy prices and overall inflation. There seems to be some power play happening between the Saudis and Biden if I am reading the news correctly.
Mod tools are not Lemmy. Give admins and mods an option. Even a paid one. Hell. Admins of Lemmy.world could have us donate extra to cover costs of api services.
Yea. But only one of them signed a capitulation/surrender to Taliban. I still do not get what Biden was supposed to do given the terms of Trump’s capitulation (“cease fire”).
It just stinks of W signing the order that we withdraw from Iraq and then everyone pisses on Obama for abiding by the agreement W wrote and signed.
Never forget who signed the deal to give the country back to Taliban.
To add to others’ posts. It can be a huge variety of things that risk making the service unstable, unresponsive, and worst case could corrupt data in flight.
Customers view scheduled maintenance as minor inconvenience. Unplanned outage as an annoyance, and loss of data as a dealbreaker.
So any time there was a chance that what we need to do would limit functionality - or otherwise make the system unstable - best to take the system offline for scheduled maintenance.
The nature of these posts is that by default the 4 posts are filled by reps from the 4 largest parties in the EP.
So there’s a conservative, a. Social democrat, a liberal etc.
