It is. It is just not enforced. The scale at which consumers import products in Europe is such, that no government agency can ever check these products.

Yes, CE also applies to machines. However CE is not a certification, it is self assigned.

This works well in most cases because companies risk financial consequences or even prosecution if they bring a product on the market that doesn't comply with various rules related to functionality, safety, chemicals, electromagnetic behavior and so on. These are all written down in standards that can be used to comply with lawful regulations and directives.

For products imported from outside of the EU the same rules apply. The importer or representative in Europe can be prosecuted. However governments almost never check products proactively which causes a lot of shit to enter the market. So what really needs to happen is to enforce the rules.

Tried Ecosia but they want you to turn off an adblocker as they are ad supported. I don't like ads as they contribute to overconsumption.

Tried DDG and it was solid but it wasn't very good in local search results (I live outside of the US).

So I'm using Qwant for the time being.

Finally they are getting rid of js stuff for core OS components. And also good that they made a clear choice in MS UI frameworks, there are far too many.

You can actually find them in many European countries. They are often used for ecological reasons (maintaining vegetation in difficult to reach areas). They are independent and can withstand rain and cold.

China is the biggest exporter in the world.

Therefore, if you study in a well known US university and gather international experience, it will increase your career prospects. Also, they want to perfect their English. It's hard for them to speak proper English, just like it's hard for us to speak proper Chinese. It's best learned by being exposed to it every day.

Do you want to open source the stories or the machine?

The concept is good but technically it seems dead easy: three buttons, a raspberry pi or similar and a thermal printer connect via usb.

Wish everyone just followed the ISO norm. It dictates that you can either use a period or a comma as decimal separator. And for the thousands separator, just use a space.

Only if the hardware is recognized by MS and registered to be associated with your software. The software is signed so it can be traced back to you.

Indeed, that will be hard. However, it seems to be necessary to have a depression (and perhaps even a civil war?) to reduce the power of the Epstein class and change the mindset of the American people. As a non-American, I see Trump more as a symptom. The real problem seems to be the American political system in general, and the morality of the people.

With this government, America has tried to be above everyone else and acquired power and wealth in a completely immoral way. Perhaps it can be understood that the rest of world doesn't care if the US burns down at this point, even if it brings economical losses. It's karma.

The controls were actually not as basic as you would think. Web controls still miss many features these had by default, such as Alt-underlined focus keys, searching through lists and dropdowns by typing the first letters, arrow key navigation in menu controls and treeviews, predictable behavior of Esc, tooltips, context sensitive help, consistent tab focus order and so on.

Their appearance is simple because of the graphical limitations of the time, but then again many modern UI frameworks are very much simplified too (they just use white instead of gray).
