Yeah, Lidl and Kaufland are store chains, with 14200 stores combined.
7500 employees is just Schwarz Digits, the digital services division.

Exchanging files in ODF seems much more frictionless to me than in DOCX. Thankfully, there is much better support nowadays for both formats.

Is the wiping functionality implemented so inconspicuously that you can't tell the device has been wiped?

I was wondering the same. They just updated the status page but it was showing green for a while and I couldn't login.

How can a satellite connection be more weather independent than a landline? Not questioning your statement. Just wondering what could be the reason. A segment with a long distance directional antenna?

The snowflakes are a clever engagement hack. They doubled the amount of comments here. I find it funny for the moment, but I hope this will not become the norm for hn posts.

In the EU we have 116117 which is not (yet?) implemented in all countries. It's part of the "harmonised service of social value" which uses 116 as a prefix and has also other helpline numbers like hotlines for missing children or emotional support.

> All without a co-pay
The author of the blog post also mentioned they tried to avoid paying for an unnecessary visit to the doctor. I think the issue is somewhere else. As a European, personally I would go to the doctor and while sitting in the waiting room I would ask an LLM out of curiosity.

from the Play Store
This is not about the Play Store. This is about the whole Android platform. It's about running what you want on your own machine.

Most of the times the user prioritizes more convenient options over privacy. "Pressure for competing options" will mean that options compete for the most convenient way, not most secure or most private.

> This elderly woman, looked to be in her 70s, might lose the roof over her head, due to being unable to log into her Google account, because she lost her old phone and with it, her phone number.
I think the real issue is outside of Google's reach. You shouldn't have to lose the roof over your head just because you don't have access to your emails. Sure, it sucks that Google doesn't care if these people lose their access to Gmail. But I don't see how Google has a greater responsibility than the state/government in this.

If you think about it, that's more or less the original idea. Affordable accommodation for young solo travelers. People that do not have the time and energy to face the inconveniences of Airbnb's are better off in a hotel after all. When I book an airbnb I do not expect to get hotel like service.
Edit: maybe drop the "solo", it's probably not worth it if you don't travel in a group.

In Chrome you can right click the address bar and select "Always show full URLs".
I prefer how Firefox highlights the most important part and still shows the full URL.
I agree. What do you suggest? How can we contribute to the resistance?
