Note the vote was withdrawn, not actually voted against. They're pushing this for a later date because there was no majority.

“The EU Council did not make a decision on chat control today, as the agenda item was removed due to the lack of a majority, (...)

Belgium’s draft law, (...) was instead postponed indefinitely. (...) Belgium cannot currently present a proposal that would gain a majority. In July, the Council Presidency will transfer from Belgium to Hungary, which has stated its intention to advance negotiations on chat control as part of its work program.

They start with CSAM, move to copyright infringement, and end at censorship of those with opposing views.

Once such laws and mechanisms are in place all it takes is the ~~right~~ wrong leadership to take it all away to keep us safe.

The day I'm forced to watch YouTube ads is the day I'll stop using it.

Google uses tax avoidance schemes and I use ad avoidance schemes.

Bad title.

Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.

In older models the speedometer and the tachometer were analogue but new Volvos have them digital so more likely to be affected by software bugs even when the separation exists.

I don't actually know how the analogue versions work or if they could still be affected by software bugs in the onboard computer. UI wise probably sturdier than digital I suspect.

Maybe in the future it can be used by managers to keep an eye on what their underlings are doing at all times. I suggest calling the manager's remote version Microsoft Panopticon.

The headline. 🤨

The one hacked was Santander, not its staff and 30 million of its customers.

How much someone scales the display is of course subjective. I could use a 32 inch 4K monitor at 100% scale but it would be uncomfortable to read.

The Windows operating system used 96 DPI/PPI as a default (Mac was 72 DPI/PPI) and a 23 inch monitor at 1080p is exactly 96 PPI. So it's no accident I like PPI at the mid-90s.

The reason I used a 24 inch monitor, instead of a 23 inch monitor, as an example it's because I have a monitor that size.

They're usually used interchangeably.

For what I understand, PPI is pixels per inch in a digital image, and DPI are dots per inch on a printed image. So we can use PPI or DPI for the same image depending on whether its on our computer screen (PPI) or printed on a sheet of paper (DPI).
