I don't think google fear Apple having to offer a choice to users. They fear Apple defaulting to Bing or something else.

While most people might choose google when presented with a choice, possibly more people are just going to keep the default settings when not presented with a choice.

I've built myself a Redox (Open Source split keyboard).

That one has a number row. Also due to the possibility of programming multiple layers I can hold down a key on the left half, then use the right half as a numpad.

It would also be possible to program it as a toggle button to switch to jumped more, so you don't have to hold it down, but I prefer not having some kind of invisible state in my keyboard that I have to keep track of.

I did it last week and always got an error trying to create a new microsoft account during the migration process, even in different browsers and after disabling adblockers. Then I just manually created a microsoft account on the microsoft website and in the minecraft migration process chose to use an existing account instead of creating one. That worked for some reason.

Before youtube disabled recommendation for people with watch history turned off, having watch history turned off made it so your recommendations were only based on channels you are subscribed to and possibly videos you've liked, commented on, ...

There are some categories where I only ever search for the category, then watch a video, but never subscribe to any channel. Those videos were never recommended to me. Meanwhile on my girlfriends pc with watch history turned on, as soon as I watch a single video from a channel she's not subscribed to similar videos appear all over the front page.

Usually the websites and apps you use, but not what specific page you visit and it's content.

If you for example visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States they could see that you visited https://en.wikipedia.org/ but nothing more.

This is assuming that the website is encrypted (it starts with https://, not http://), which nowadays luckily most websites are. Otherwise they can see the specific page, it's content and most likely also all information you input on that page.

Das ganze wird vermutlich als Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen (§305ff BGB) gewertet.

Bei AGBs gibt es ein paar Abweichungen zum normalen Vertragsrecht.

(1) Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen sind alle für eine Vielzahl von Verträgen (✅) vorformulierten (✅) Vertragsbedingungen, die eine Vertragspartei (Verwender) der anderen Vertragspartei bei Abschluss eines Vertrags stellt (✅). [...]

Bei AGB reicht es teilweise, dass sie deutlich sichtbar am Verkaufsort aushängen. Die Zustimmung des Käufers erfolgt dann durch konkludentes Handeln.

Allerdings gibt es zum Schutz der Vertragspartner auch viele Einschränkungen was AGB enthalten dürfen. §309 Punkt 6. BGB verbietet manche Arten von Vertragsstrafen in AGBs. Vertragsstrafen bei Diebstahl dürften dort allerdings nicht drunter fallen.

Da bleibt zur Argumentation höchstens noch §305c Abs. 1 BGB, der besagt dass AGB Klauseln nicht überraschend sein dürfen. Ab welcher Höhe die Vertragsstrafe überraschend ist müsste dann wohl ein Gericht entscheiden.

They recently announced that they will publish new exploits at DEF CON next week and recommend owners to not update their firmware if they want to take advantage of that.

So depending on how the exploit works installing Valerie might get a lot simpler. It usually takes quite some time until such exploits are not only fixed, but then also for devices with fixed firmware to hit the shelves.

There was no bot net doing the outlines. The r/placeDE Discord prepared an overlay and distributed it to many other large communities and twitch streamers.

At the time or the whiteout the r/placeDE had 6500 active users in the voice chat coordinating to draw the outlines. A German streamer sent his 100k+ viewers to draw the letters. Other big communities also contributed.
