The likes of Dubai/UAE/Israel won't even care about any laws passed by the west anyway, so the action will move there. Just look at the sanctions against Russia in London, the London traders simply moved to Dubai (source: Bloomberg).
Those who are anti-Brexit are loving it as they are blaming EVERYTHING caused by Ukraine war and gas prices inflation on Brexit. They are just as much the liars as the Brexitiers they accuse of being so. Some of them will in fact will be reading this and being in glee and loving how much Putin's invasion has helped them.
I dislike eBay search, for example all of a sudden one of my daily bookmarked searches went from the usual 10 results to THOUSANDS, all of them not including my search term, this is the link:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Tasmota&LH_PrefLoc=1&...
Why are some sellers having all their listings (car parts) included in my search for "Tasmota"?
yeah and when you spend it, you are taken for 20% sales tax, not to mention that the prices in general are far higher, because the people who made it need to pay taxes too
Whilst I think Win11 is a steaming pile of bad decisions I do not know why you were downvoted for a legitimate and reasonably factual answer. I have two machines (unfortunately) in the environment running Win11, and a VM, and they all use local account options, and once logged in, you can disable the nag to switch to a Microsoft account. My feelings on "but I shouldn't have to disable the nag" aside, a technical user can easily achieve this.
> I do not know why you were downvoted for a legitimate and reasonably factual answer
I agree the comment shouldn't be downvoted, but it's probably due to the "Yes?" At the beginning, which can be read as snarky.
It is not obvious to users that they need to disconnect Ethernet and intentionally not connect to WiFi when setting up (who wouldn't want to connect to their own WiFi on their own computer?), so a possibly snarky "yes, of course, duh" is probably drawing out the downvotes.
It is partly due to the Windows, for lack of a better word, "h8ers" that will recommend a Linux desktop that may/will require just as much or even more "fiddling" to install/customize/make work etc. That harp on a thing like this.
Partly due to being older but still immature when it comes to online interactions, internet is less "real" to me and I tend to be snarky if I know I'm technically right x)
> Despite EU having 100+ million bigger population than USA!
Because it took in a lot of poorer nations after the fall of the wall. Especially those who were in the Soviet block. The USA had nothing like that. The USA has a single market and the leading currency. Without the single market Europe would be much further behind.
Part of the attraction of the EU for those countries was and is that trade and economic development is easier for those nations inside the EU.
