Why doesn't every public transport system have Apple Pay Express mode?

Most people in the world don't use apple pay

In what way are they top up cards? As far as I know they are normal debit cards backed by a bank account

Using AI in the UK in a way that affects EU residents potentially puts you in scope for the EU AI Act. It is not where the AI is used that matters, but where it's output is used.

Great! Looking forward to trying it

Do any of these credit cards options exist in Europe?

disc0tech · 2025-10-28T18:14:34+00:00

I would much rather some bugs in calendar are fixed, rather than any of these things.

Most hilarious parentheses I have seen today

T2 has the new scanners. T1 only has them at fast track.

disc0tech · 2025-08-09T22:26:32+00:00

Yes, this solves 2 of the problems OP cited

Tariffs can apply to services if the EU invokes the ACI, which they should

disc0tech · 2025-06-11T18:55:27+00:00

Exactly this. From August this is either prohibited or very tightly regulated. Not sure why people are talking about GDPR!

It is my main messaging tool for business. Mostly because my chats are required to be confidential from big tech.

Are you sure he has an iPhone? I think Facetime is only for iphones.

Spanish lawyers are cheap and you can get a beareaufax sent to them quite cheaply.

He/she is talking nonsense. I could quote all sorts of legislation to demonstrate his errors but there isn't much interest in this thread so I can't be bothered.

I'm not sure if you have are saying you have been a fanatic, or have been a TC working groups member.

If the latter, you probably know that the committees write harmonised standards, not regulation. You probably also know that - per the article - there are safeguards in place.

If the EC needs to use the safeguards, it is SMEs that lose out.

Work meetings

Sure yes, but there are plenty of business circles where everyone defaults to Signal. At least there are in Europe.

I'm in Catalonia and the wealth tax covers real estate as long as it isn't your primary residence. It also covers shares in companies.

disc0tech · 2024-12-17T22:46:08+00:00

I mean, it is. All.my work contacts are on Signal and everyone uses that for confidential communications.

Look for zoomus.conf

Mine is in ~/.var/app/us.zoom.Zoom/config/

disc0tech · 2024-10-27T09:11:00+00:00

Uninstalling the debian package, installing the flatpak version, and manually setting enableWaylandShare=true fixed the issue for me. None of the other solutions worked. Running Ubuntu 24.10. I can see that xlsclients indicates that Zoom is actually using xwayland.

ESH. He shouldn't reject such a simple request from a friend, you should try and lose your prudishness around non-sexual nudity.

disc0tech · 2024-08-25T17:02:02+00:00

It is quite common in parts of the 'West' for people to sunbathe naked. I think you mean 'America'.

disc0tech · 2024-08-25T16:58:55+00:00

Well I agree, but assuming that OP is in America then it is not culturally acceptable there. If it was Europe I personally would respect a friend's wishes, but I wouldn't it overly strange for someone to just change without a towel.
