Gnu Taler seems really interesting, if the trial in Switzerland goes well it might have a chance. I'm still hopeful we can have nice things.

oh yes that makes a lot of sense for server stuff. I imagine that may be quite useful for general use & maintenance too.

I'm too caught up thinking of consumer stuff.

EU Regulations are directly applicable to all member states, so its not needed to transpose those into domestic law for them to be used. Some countries' constitutional setup mess with this(like the uk eh pre-brexit I guess), but in general regulations are as important if not more than domestic law.

Directives can be directly used in domestic courts but only under certain conditions. The defendant/respondant needs to be a public body and the transposition deadline must have passed. Its basicly 'you failed to implement it in time — tough'. Also if they're not implemented correctly. But in general yes, they're only instructions for the members to pass domestic legislation.

I think even on a technicality both are law. Sorry if this was a bit padantic.

oh and yes I'm not aware of any EU legislation on admissibility of evidence. But, not really my area :/ I think there have been proposals for cross-border stuff but can't remember what became of that. If you know any in force i'd be interested in reading that? thanks

I'm intrigued how that would work with some styles of plug that disconnect before coming out of the socket like the uk type-G plugs. Unless they're not touching the socket itself and connecting somewhere else? I have no idea, i'm not an electrician.

That ai banner does not inspire trust at all :( The actual content reads well & they link other articles though. Weird.
