The current title is misleading. The PM (of Macron's government) was ousted; Macron is still the president.

Again, the result holds for all M3 Pro models. The Apple M3 Pro 11-Core even takes the lead in terms of efficiency in some of the benchmarks. The text makes multiple direct comparisons between M3 Pro and M4 Pro efficiency.

It looks like they don't have benchmark results for Cinebench 2024 for some older models, so they're only shown when you switch to Cinebench R23. The Witcher 3 benchmark, for example, does show M3 Pro numbers by default.

You can add other M3 models for some of the efficiency benchmarks. The headline still holds true when comparing to M3 Pro models (though the exact efficiency diff depends quite a bit on the exact M3 Pro model/core count).

I'm perfectly happy with the performance of my iPhone SE (2020), and it's still receiving software updates, but the battery is severely degraded. The same was true for my first-generation iPhone SE; I was able to get a cheap replacement back then due to Apple's battery replacement program related to batterygate.

Access to cheap replacement batteries would definitely have an impact when deciding whether I should replace my phone or not. I believe Apple even mentioned the battery replacement program being a factor contributing to lower-than-expected sales a few years ago (sorry, can't find the source).

It's very common for discussions on this topic to only look at one particular factor and use it to fit some narrative one believes to be correct. Mentioning the difference in population age while ignoring things like population density or different climates is a good example of this.

They put a lot of money into long-term bonds before the latest interest rate hikes. These bonds now sell at a discount, so they can no longer cover all deposits by selling them.

Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines (that is, vaccines using virus copies that have been killed - live vaccines would be ones where the virus has been weakened) have been a thing for some time. IIRC China used a lot of them.

My understanding is that they're not quite as good as mRNA in terms of efficacy (though I haven't looked this up in some time.)

> Also, Hep C, HIV and herpes have no vaccine, so unclear what your statement is referring to anyway?

OP is talking about more vaccines as possible future mitigations - more vaccines as in new vaccines, not more vaccinations using existing ones (though that wouldn't hurt either.)

> It would typically happen maybe once a month at most, but it was almost always on a Sunday.

Do you recall if you slept in on those days? I tend to get a specific kind of headache if I sleep for too long.

This also happens if I take a nap during the day. I don't really take any naps because of that, but I remember hating being forced to nap in Kindergarten (at least during the first two years or so), probably for the same reason.

That's correct. Sberbank Europe is registered as an Austrian bank, so the Austrian equivalent of the FDIC has to cover deposits of up to 100K per client.

There's no mention of encryption at rest using your own key. To quote the ruling:

> If the second respondent (Google) subsequently refers to encryption technologies - such as the encryption of "data at rest" in the data centers - he must again be countered with recommendations 01/2020 of the EDSA. Namely, it states that a data importer (such as the Second Respondent) who is subject to 50 US Code § 1881a (“FISA 702”) has a direct obligation with regard to the imported data that is in his possession, custody or control to grant access to or release them. This obligation can expressly also apply to the cryptographic key without which the data cannot be read (ibid. margin no. 76).

> As long as the second respondent has the opportunity to access data in the Plain text access, the technical measures taken cannot be regarded as effective in the sense of the above considerations.

The last paragraph suggests true end-to-end encryption may be acceptable, but that's not how Google Analytics works.

I've had this issue before - some combination of relaunching System Preferences, toggling the "iCloud Mail" checkbox and smashing "OK" repeatedly eventually made it work.
