  • Besides Germany, Schengen members currently operating controls on particular borders include Austria, which cites Ukraine-related security threats and pressure on asylum to check arrivals from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Hungary. Denmark, citing terror threats related to the war in Gaza and Russian espionage risks, is carrying out checks on land and sea transit from Germany, and France is checking Schengen zone arrivals on the grounds of an increased terror threat. Italy, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia and Finland are also operating border checks, variously citing terrorist activity, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, Russian intelligence activity, increased migration flows and organised crime in the Balkans.

    So everybody already does it, why shouldn’t Germany do it, too?







  • There may be roaming time limits applied, see bullet point 3. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/files/attachment/493762/Roam Like at Home 25 FAQs for consumers.pdf

    The general rule is that as long as you spend more time at home than abroad, or you use your mobile phone more at home than abroad, you can roam at domestic prices when travelling wherever in the EU. This is considered a fair use of roaming services. If this is not the case, your mobile operator may contact you. Operators can detect possible abuses based on the balance of roaming and domestic activity over a four- month period: if you spend a majority of your time abroad and consume more abroad than at home over the four months, the operator can ask you to clarify the situation within 14 days. If you continue roaming more than you are at home, your operator may start applying a small charge to your roaming consumption.



  • I recently replaced my 9th gen iPad with a new M2 Air - and the jump in performance and snappiness was huge. The 9th gen is ok for the money but not really futureproof since it is one of those devices with only 4GB RAM. So when multitasking it could happen that iPad OS closes apps in the background. What this means can range from simply reloading a tab in Safari to losing partially entered data in other apps.





  • The regulation only states that there must be a level playing field with respect to API access and possibilities in comparison for Microsoft tools and 3rd party tools. The regulation does not state that the APIs have to be inherently insecure and unstable if used in a wrong way, which is what happened. Crowdstrike released a buggy update that crashed their own driver, which is just showing how bad their software as a whole really is.
