Please don't try to machine translate to my local language. The translations are terrible or outright incorrect.

Well, at least the Finnish laws against it aren't enforced at all and public drinking is very common. Judging by what I've seen, it seems to be the case in Sweden too.

As someone who lives and regularly drives in Helsinki, I feel that most kilometers I drive are on roads that allow 80km/h. The 30km/h limits are mostly in residential areas, close to schools and the city center (where traffic is the limiting factor and it's better to take the public transit).

So while 30km/h might be the limit for most of the roads, you mostly run into those only in the beginnings and ends of trips.

Thank you for the illustration! I was sitting here, wondering that the whole system sounds paradoxical but seeing it drawn down with the arrows really helped grasp how this works!

Not for watching tv, but you might need the entire room for doing stretching, doing yoga or other exercises.

That sounds awfully much like something I might be doing. Do you have any specific books you would recommend?

I used to have a piece of string on my desk as a type of fiddle toy. Much quicker to learn knots by tying them than trying to memorize the instructions.

What makes it superior? Is it easier to adjust or untie?

Not sure why this was downvoted. I switched phones yesterday and transferring signal with the direct wi-fi transfer was easier than transferring whatsapp, I do know that that used to not be the case.

How well do Signal groups work these days? I tried moving friend groups to signal some years ago and even managed to do that for some large ones but the group chat just didn't really work. Keys changed and somehow the group got into a state where some people got messages and others didn't and the only way to fix it seemed to be creating a new group which, for large groups, isn't really an option and everyone ended up going back to whatsapp.

I'd love to use signal with more people but that, and the ux around changing phones means I can't really recommend it to anyone but the most technical of my friends.

Isn't the whole point of e2e that you don't need to worry about what runs on the server, unless you're worried about metadata leakage.

It does, but as far as I've understood, FPGA's are much simpler and more regular so hiding backdoors into those would be harder than hiding one into a hardware cpu.

In what part of the world? I haven't seen one in Finland since maybe the early 2000's.

There's at least this: https://hackaday.io/project/167446-diy-inkjet-printer

But as others have mentioned, commercial printers are really cheap, especially for how complicated they are to replicate so there's not much motivation to make them.
