    In general the article seems to be a summary of current legislative actions that are ongoing between big tech and EU. Though in the article it’s worded with the much more fitting ‘game of chicken between EU and Big Tech’ rather than something like the title, but I guess “drop dead has a better ring to it”…

    I general the article has a lightly optimistic tone, which I very deeply hope holds true.





  • I mean… Maybe I am just oversimplifying things or misreading something, but if the cabinet the switch was on was metal then maybe the switch connected ground to ground? Suddenly changing ground to ground can crash old hardware quite reliably but booting with another ground plate could make it adjust the potentials properly… I’ve done this multiple times in a lab, in essence adding more ground causes the ground plates to equal out and that sudden drop can crash sensitive hardware…

    Please tell me i am wrong I want this magic switch to be true so bad
