our tap water is stupid hard (above 24 °dH) and while it's delicious, it breaks every single appliance and kettle within a few months if you don't regularly decalcify them

swiftkey is weirdly one of the only keyboards that can handle multilingual users well. everything else i've tried forces you to switch layouts every time you switch language or their predictive text gets confused, which is a real drag.

fishmech posted:its pretty funny how places will be all "oh we don't need to get ac, it never gets hot here" as they have their 29th straight year of major heat waves each summer ah yes the european approach to public planning germany has been exceptionally bad at this. new trains with a supposed life of 20 to 30 years ahead of them come with acs that straight up fail in temperatures higher than upper 80s. old buildings cannot be replaced with new ones due to character and are expensively retrofitted with insulation, but nobody installs ac because you don't need it and also you can't. and on and on and on we are currently in the third week of a heat wave and temperatures regularly reach beyond 95 F ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shaggar posted:also its pretty loving stupid if its supposed to be a tax on goog cause all goog has to do is remove litigants from search results. seems like that would be farm more harmful to the content owner the trick is that this is only the first step. basically, you force goog to pay for search results, which will lead to those results disappearing from the results or getting deprioritized or less prominent or whatever. then you yell at google for abusing its monopoly because it determines which sites receive traffic and force it to display the results in fair way (for a certain definition of fair). this regulation is garbage. (gdpr is hilarious though.)

infernal machines posted:some fuckwit is delaying our provincial electrification plans here based on some similar bullshit. absolutely agreed in general. but we have quite a few train lines that do not have enough traffic to justify electrification, never mind the stupid amount of court battles this would create (overhead lines are ugly oh no). if we can find a better alternative to diesel trains on these specific routes, that's cool. most bigger routes over here are already electrified or will be, because it's cheaper in the long run.

Krankenstyle posted:no yeah p much all of europe gave up on the V/T distinction on or around 1968 you can absolutely still get your academic title added to your national id and people still do that a lot. lawyers and medical doctors are usually the worst about insisting on having their titles added to everything in my experience, though engineers aren't far behind this is especially funny because medical doctors indeed do not get their dr. in front of their name but instead dr. med., which is like a phd with training wheels

Shaggar posted:the disconnect here is that these rules only apply to a handful of American companies in the eu and elsewhere. they don't apply to domestic companies especially in the EU where regulation of their own large companies is extremely lax. gdpr, for example, absolutely does apply to european companies and has caused tremendous meltdowns all over the place in the run-up to it entering into effect. not surprisingly, the first gdpr fines have not been levied against american but european companies. as far as i know, it's hit a portuguese and a german company so far the national regulatory agencies have been pretty lax on large companies in the past. that was certainly the case in germany. but european anti-trust cases have recently doled out some really painful fines to european companies, so this is changing, too.

Shaggar posted:lmao, the germans got fined an amazing 20,000 euros! definitely no favoritism there at all and im sure the americans will receive equivalent fines if found to be in non-compliance. agreed, everyone laughed about that one. though they also have jack poo poo in terms of revenue and are effectively dead anyway. i bet google and facebook will point to these fines though and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. question is: will they allow complete access to their systems for regulatory agencies as knuddels did and also immediately notify every affected user. because that's what knuddels did and was named as the reason for the low fine

honestly: depends on the country. france won't be fun for them, germany will probably be a slap on the wrist. maybe except in bavaria. data protection agencies here are federally organized and from my professional experience, the only one that isn't completely understaffed and toothless is bavaria. i also don't see them as the first likely target for high fines. personally, i'd bet on insurance or credit agencies. they have money, poo poo systems and processes, a fuckton of data and are universally despised.
