Public or shared technical ducts and technical galleries, available to all operators, are a distinctive feature of France. The law strongly encourages the leasing of, or joint investment in, telecommunications…
Major campaigns to install telephone lines took place in the run-up to and during the First World War. This enabled civilians and conscripts who were not trained in the use of radio to communicate with headquarters.…
We mustn’t forget the context: FFmpeg and Videolan got their start in dorm rooms, where students used them to stream TV in the dorm and share movies. The Polytechnique and École Centrale campuses are just a few…
Perhaps you should limit it to capital cities or states with a certain population size. Including all the European microstates does not seem appropriate to me; Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican have very…
Meta on Facebook: posts about contraception, HIV or family planning will get you banned. Posting photos of drowned migrants on Italian beaches with hateful messages? That’s cool, bro free speech.
It’s those left-wingers and their ‘cancel culture’ that are stopping these oppressed billionaires from speaking freely!
It’s not just Europeans who are beginning to realize that the U.S. can’t be trusted; Australians are still waiting for a hypothetical delivery date for their AUKUS submarines. The Gulf states find themselves with too…
Don’t worry, hardware manufacturers are going to keep ripping us off with HDR encoding. HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and so on.
It depends on how long you've been using WordPress, whether you use plugins, whether they're well-maintained or not, and so on. Back around 2010, there were security vulnerabilities in WordPress or its popular plugins…
"Installed battery storage in France rose 35% last year 1.61 gigawatts, according to grid operator RTE data." 1.5 GW are pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants (PSPPs). This article is shit.
DRM has always been a means of protecting a monopoly; copyright protection is merely the excuse given to justify the measure and the monopoly.
3D adaptation of the 1992 Cryo Interactive adventure game.
It depends; it’s not bad with the right plug-ins for designing a building, but God forbid you ever have to model a threaded hole.
For decades, employees have been developing tools using whatever was available to them, and in most cases, this was limited to Excel macros. AI provides access to much better tools for testing and quickly experimenting…
It's true, the cost of living in NYC also plays a role. It has become very expensive for many countries to send staff there as expatriates.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't think these initiatives really protect Europeans. Anton Carniau, a Microsoft executive, testified before the French Parliament that ‘as a last resort, if we are forced to, we must transmit…
Half of the UN agencies are relocating all over the world. The financial and accounting departments are moving thousands of people to Madrid and Bonn. They will not be coming back soon.
It is incredibly stupid and counterproductive to make this kind of statement publicly. Most of the GAFAM companies are doing their utmost to try to reassure their European customers with a facade of sovereignty. All…
The US ambassador to France has just had his access to parliamentarians and members of the government withdrawn because he is trying to turn a neo-Nazi who died in a fight into a political martyr. There are similar…
Feudalism : The nobility held lands and means of production from the Crown in exchange for service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their…
This is not the only difference in the banking system; 25-year fixed-rate mortgages are also a feature that is rarely found elsewhere. The minimum 10% deposit is mainly there to cover taxes, which cannot really be…
On the other hand, I have already seen Germans complaining about the lack of possibility to buy train tickets by bank transfer.
It's more taboo to talk about revolving credit card than crack addiction for a french. I don't know a bank that offer them, even the shady online bank.
There are equivalents in several European countries. The problem is that these networks are national and not European, let alone global. National banking players did not want to give up their turf. The European Union…
There are many countries where debit cards are the norm and credit cards are extremely rare. In France, people are so afraid of consumer credit that cards are renamed ‘deferred debit cards’ rather than credit cards,…
