When you make your first search on google with internet explorer you get this warning before it lets you submit -

"When you send information to the internet, it might be possible for others to see that information. Do you want to continue?"

Can you even BELIEVE how different even windows was back then?

European Content Removal Laws Are Scrubbing The Internet Of Completely Legal Content     (www.techdirt.com)

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/06/13/european-content-removal-laws-are-scrubbing-the-internet-of-completely-legal-content/

A lot of laws have been passed in Europe that regulate the content American companies can carry. Most of these laws were passed to tamp down on speech that would be otherwise legal in the United States, but not so much in Europe where free speech rights aren’t given the same sort of protections found in the US.

Since most of the larger tech companies maintained overseas offices, they were subject to these laws. Those laws targeted everything from terrorist-related content to “hate speech” to whatever is currently vexing legislators. Attached to these mandates were hefty fines and the possibility of being asked to exit these countries completely.

Oregon Scientific is out of business. I'm desperate, because they were making the best mini weather stations. I've been using their products forever. Now I've checked their competitors and all their products suck.

Their site is still up, but all products are unavailable:

https://freenet.org/

The centralization of the internet poses a fundamental threat to individual freedom. In 2024, a few corporations control most internet services and infrastructure. These corporations wield immense power over most of us with little accountability, enabling them to censor content, exploit our data, and exclude users from services they depend on —all with profound implications for democracy. We need a solution urgently.

Introducing Freenet — a decentralized replacement for the world wide web. Acting as a global, shared, decentralized computing platform, Freenet can either be accessed via a standard web browser or integrated into third-party applications.

The US layout for keyboard is worse than UE     (technology)
submitted by Conspirologist to technology 5 days ago (+2/-2)

I've always used the EU keyboards. The enter key was big and very comfortable. Now I'm using the US keyboard, and the enter key is so small, it's annoying as hell. I always confuse it with the caps key.

Anybody else noticed this?

Facing Cable Cord-Cutting, Cities Fight to Tax Broadband     (www.aei.org)

https://www.aei.org/technology-and-innovation/facing-cable-cord-cutting-cities-fight-to-tax-broadband/

Broadband has been a bright spot in America’s grim inflationary landscape. While consumer prices rose 4.9 percent last year, two recent reports show that consumer broadband prices fell, both in absolute terms and cost per gigabyte. But where many see a victory, some cities sense an opportunity. Stung by declining cable franchise fees, local governments are pushing to tax broadband. This effort faces severe regulatory headwinds, but if successful could erode consumer gains and drive broadband prices higher.
