We call on the European Commission to propose legislation ensuring that digital identity and age-assurance systems used to access online services in the Union remain voluntary, privacy-preserving and non-discriminatory. Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law. The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof-of-age, data minimisation, selective disclosure, open-source implementation, independent security audits, prohibition of cross-service tracking by relying parties, and equivalent alternatives for citizens who do not use a digital wallet.

So a completely useless initiative, is how I'm reading this. The "unless strictly necessary" is a fabulous "think of the children/national security" -backdoor. This is basically the same platitudes, the EU and our governments are already feeding us to make online age verification digestible. And the headline of the initiative is blatantly misrepresenting the content...

Yes and no respectively

The blue bosch tools are from the professional line. The green ones are the "hobby"/homeowner ones. Batteries and chargers are not directly compatible between the two lines, Which is a dick move in my opnion. But the "green" batteries are compatible with products from Gardena and some other garden equipment manufacturers.

Blue bosch tools are very good quality but generally too expensive compared to their competitors, in my opinion. The green ones are alright but you could just as well buy some Einhell or Metabo tools then. They are alright as well and a bit cheaper from my experience.

Honestly, that's the entire reason i lost interest in consoles after buying the PS4. If i need to:
1 Boot up the console.
2 Update the system (twice).
3 PSN account bullshit.
4 Insert disc.
5 Install the game.
6 Download 50GB update for the game.
7 Install said update.
8 Finally start the game.
9 Login and TOS bullshit.
10 Finally play game.

I might just as well use my PC for gaming at that point. The games library is larger and the exclusives are just not worth it. Especially after Sony started releasing those on PC as well.

The Yindjibarndi had originally sought nearly A$1.8 billion in compensation, arguing the amount should reflect both the scale of cultural loss and the immense profits generated from the mine, which reportedly earned Fortescue around A$80 billion since operations began.

In a statement following the ruling, Fortescue said it accepted the court’s decision and reiterated its commitment to First Nations engagement.
