Perhaps they mean that Russia, a corrupted warmonger weak country, has veto power, while more powerful, free and democratic countries have not.

Honestly, ceteris paribus for the US

Thank you sir. Love learning new things every day in a tech forum, especially Latin.

>> My guess is that Apple is considering using JPEG XL for iPhone photo storage rather than HEIC, and JPEG XL's inclusion in the browser is a bit of an afterthought.

This would be great.


Indeed, Trump seems to be suffering from Putin syndrome: he thinks that the best way to make the United States (and himself) glorious is through territorial expansion.

Who could possibly impose a naval blockade on the EU? Not even the US Navy would be able to do so.

You only need to control 2-3 chokepoints to hugely impact shipment - especially of perishables. The Panama Canal + Caribean + Gibraltar and you get no food in Europe.

If half of the internet of a country depends on a single US company, then the problem is not soccer and AGCOM...

It is already a problem for the EU

Very interesting article. I still have a working Olivetti M24 at home that I occasionally turn on just for the sake of nostalgia.

The M24 was the first computer my family purchased. My dad worked for a bank and in the mid eighties they were modernising that bank and offered employees an option to buy a PC. Since contract went to Olivetti, we got the M24. I remember the evening we picked it up and installed it on the living room table, but I can't clearly remember what year that was, I think it was 1986. My first explorations into programming were on that thing. I must have spent countless of hours with it. An 8086, 640kb of RAM and two floppy drives. Good memories.

They made some beautiful computers. I really want to, eventually, get an M20, or wait until 3D printers get good enough to print one. ;-)

"I was just following orders." --Any German soldier after 1945


It's interesting considering that based on the German military doctrine at the time low ranking officers on the ground had a huge amount of independence while the French ones were stuck doing nothing and waiting for orders to be signed and approved..

Of course maybe that didn't apply to committing atrocities to the same degree.


Couldn't he just use the passenger brakes to stop the train while it was passing in Troisdorf?


He could, but that would be a very expensive stop.
