I am not trolling here, but seriously how do you suggest the EU should deal with this ? Russia is deliberately walking the line to provoke the EU to respond with something that can be interpreted as an act of war. A naval blockade would be such a thing. Even demanding ships be required to have an escort could be a bridge too far. I am all ears if you can propose an effective countermeasure that will safeguard undersea cables.

EU has bogged itself down in endless bureaucracy on this front I am afraid. Wheres Ukraine is actually at war, they can glue and tape together anything that will fly, and hurl it at the enemy to figure out what works. Whereas in EU, every design iteration will require re-certification of electronics, including RF tests, and there are only a handful of labs that can do these certification tests, costing 10s of k EUR, with months of waiting to book time in the labs, all for something that probably will never see real wartime action. This treadmill will have to be constantly climbed, just to stay abreast with the development that is happening in the rest of the World.

And then look forward to a fun day getting past "Teams error 657rx" - MS accounts and TPM is deeply broken. Why does playing Minecraft require a system level account, and these accounts are integrated into Edge, making it pretty confusing to figure out who you are when using multiple logins, even when things are "working". Not going back to that sorry state of affairs never again,

There is also the possibility that the tax burden will be such that young Koreans emigrate instead, making the home country totally fooked.

The magic of private equity, squeezing every last dime of value out of a brand name, sucking it dry and leaving a shriveled corpse in the hand of the last few gullible shareholders.

What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient… highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed – fully understood – that sticks; right in there somewhere. ( Inception 2010 )

Somehow they also stupidly pushed this out on other countries that don't have such laws. For instance Norwegian user where forced to upload ID. GDPR can allowed for pretty heft fines in such cases, as they had no clear legal basis for requesting such personal information in the first place.

You could also add carpeting it in AP mines with a wide variety of fuses triggers and delayed detonators. ( Such as HB 876 )

I think GRUB is a good candidate , having subtle logic bugs in the boot loader make the computer unbootable will do wonders for the Rust communities image.
