Not changing anything of the current procedures will send the impression of helplessness and inaction to growing parts of the society. While I‘m not happy with this blame game, doing nothing is out of the question for the Ampel since even the Union is taking populist narratives and helping rightwing parties by constantly demanding improvements.
Besides Germany, Schengen members currently operating controls on particular borders include Austria, which cites Ukraine-related security threats and pressure on asylum to check arrivals from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Hungary. Denmark, citing terror threats related to the war in Gaza and Russian espionage risks, is carrying out checks on land and sea transit from Germany, and France is checking Schengen zone arrivals on the grounds of an increased terror threat. Italy, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia and Finland are also operating border checks, variously citing terrorist activity, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, Russian intelligence activity, increased migration flows and organised crime in the Balkans.
So everybody already does it, why shouldn’t Germany do it, too?
He said, adding that Xpeng also plans to set up a large-scale data center in Europe as efficient software collection becomes paramount for cars’ intelligent driving features.
More like snorkeling in location data and camera images from the cars. Who knows where they will end up.
There may be roaming time limits applied, see bullet point 3. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/files/attachment/493762/Roam Like at Home 25 FAQs for consumers.pdf
The general rule is that as long as you spend more time at home than abroad, or you use your mobile phone more at home than abroad, you can roam at domestic prices when travelling wherever in the EU. This is considered a fair use of roaming services. If this is not the case, your mobile operator may contact you. Operators can detect possible abuses based on the balance of roaming and domestic activity over a four- month period: if you spend a majority of your time abroad and consume more abroad than at home over the four months, the operator can ask you to clarify the situation within 14 days. If you continue roaming more than you are at home, your operator may start applying a small charge to your roaming consumption.
If I put the source mentioned in the linked article through google translate, the only result with regards to Taiwan is:
Uzbekistan supports China’s position on the Taiwan issue and will continue to adhere to one China.
So Ukraine does not support China‘s position on Taiwan. The title is misleading and fake.
Seems like this is not an interesting topic to most of the voters. Based on the pirate party blog post this was already put in place mid march, way before the EU election days in june. Seems this did not leave an impact on most people, which will hardly ever handle that much cash anyway.
The regulation only states that there must be a level playing field with respect to API access and possibilities in comparison for Microsoft tools and 3rd party tools. The regulation does not state that the APIs have to be inherently insecure and unstable if used in a wrong way, which is what happened. Crowdstrike released a buggy update that crashed their own driver, which is just showing how bad their software as a whole really is.
Surely Russia took extra care to leave it unharmed for that sweet, sweet oil money.
Soooo… EU is responsible to write Crowdstrike code with bugs that gets deployed without any QA? Interesting. And EU is directing rules for the rest of the world as well, where the same issue happened as within EU? This is populist bullshit in full swing.
The issue with COBOL surely isn‘t about the language itself. The real challenge will be to decipher the spaghetti code that was created at a company in the last sixty or so years. And then to dare changing something without breaking the program as a whole.
With new EU asylum and migration regulations only coming in effect in 2026 (two years, although it is one of the most important topics in a lot of EU countries and rightwing on the rise everywhere), this is simply taking too long to do absolutely nothing locally. https://commission.europa.eu/news/setting-out-plan-put-migration-and-asylum-pact-practice-2024-06-12_en
