Do forklifts have PDO now?

Hear me out, type L, the one in the middle, is the best socket, as it has all the things you talked about, but also accepts Italian plugs.

Type L bipasso (the one on the side) instead is the most space efficient, while retaining type C compatibility and grounding. Type L plugs also have plastic bits at the end to avoid contact with live wire (like UK one).

The problem is that you don't own the right to use your own device the way you see fit, and are instead locked into systems you can't escape from.

You should be able to freely install the software you like, be that an OS, a third party app or even your own program, and you should be able to use all the features of your devices, freely, without being locked out due to the app or accessory not being first party.

the manufacturer of the chip making machine is based in the EU therefore no one can pull out

This has nothing to do with anything, really. It's not like, because I don't sell in the US I can't use American made steel or something.

The actual reason why Apple, and every other company, doesn't want to leave the EU (China for that matter) despite increasingly stringent regulations, it's because the EU represents a huge portion of their revenue and leaving would mean losing billions upon billions, all in the hopes of saving millions.

It's not only about copying or distribution, but also use and reproduction. I can buy a legit DVD and play it in my own home and all is fine. Then I play it on my bar's tv, in front of 100 people, and now it's illegal. I can listen to a song however many times I want, but I can't use it for anything other than private listening. In theory you should pay even if you want to make a video montage to show at your wedding.

Right now most licenses for copyrighted material specify that you use said material only for personal consumption. To use it for profit you need a special license

Copyrighted material can be used or reproduced only with a license that allows for it. If the license forbids you from using the copyrighted material for business purposes, and you do it anyway, then it's pirating.

Opera mini was also great when I had very little MBs of internet traffic in my plan. Nowadays I have pretty much infinite traffic, so I haven't used it in ages

There's never enough proof for some people. There are Holocaust deniers ffs

As for China, the proof is in the pudding. Can you go there and openly speak about it? Can anyone just go up to the camps unannounced and check? Or can you only go there when and how the government wants, like the Nazis did when they invited the International red cross to one of their camps and made a little movie about it to show how humane they were, and then at the end of the film they simply sent everyone there to Auschwitz?

I think it's a consequence of higher interest rates drying up VC money, meaning that tech companies now have to actually be profitable, rather than just grow.

If the plan was grow now, profit later, then later has come
