Microsoft's data sovereignty: Now with extra sovereignty!

21th century colonialism

It is not about Trump. Data sovereignty is about governments protecting their citizens against losing their privacy to third parties, to whom never consent was given for data sharing. EU should not build data-centers, but prohibit export of data to providers operating under different jurisdictions outside of EU, and on top introduce laws enabling citizens to receive significant compensations from organizations ignoring this mandate. But this will never happen, any hospital in the EU can happily dump medical records in Azure. and the US puppet regimes in Netherlands, UK and Germany won't move a finger to end this abuse.

A single DNS race condition brought Amazon's cloud empire to its knees

Maybe this issue reveals some design flaws

It may be efficient to design the cloud like a pyramid on its head, a more confederated solution would be more robust.

Perhaps cloud giants like MSFT, GOOGL and AMZN should have a look at their cloud designs and divide their empire into independent regions. It is not good when a single bug or typo reverts time to the 1950's.

Trump's anti-sustainability agenda comes to Eurozone

Re: TDS

It is sickening to see how the left is ignoring the terrible statistics of death and misery, because they dislike the messenger.

Autism is up many 1000% since 1970, Obesity in the US is 40%, US people are plagued with a cancer epidemic, US people are dying on a younger age compared to other developed countries, the cherry on the cake are the 100,000 people annually OD-ing due to the fentanyl crisis. These statistics of death ballooned under democrat presidencies. Bidens open border policies presented the US drug market to Mexican cartels on a silver plate. No democrat has ever spent time on these problems, except for ridiculing idealistic people like RFK who try to solve this human tragedy. Nothing new here, the disdain of the left for human life is proven over and over again in history, leftists sold death under the name of communism, Stalinism, Maoism and National Socialism. Today they have the audacity to call themselves Democrats.

No account? No Windows 11, Microsoft says as another loophole snaps shut

L'État, c'est moi

Said King Louis XIV on April 13, 1655. At Microsoft they took inspiration from the old King, who blessed the world with the Versailles castle, adopting the concept that "The PC is mine". The destruction of 400-800 million PC's in a "Russian Hybrid warfare attack on the West" is something that not even von der Leyen could come up with, that honor goes to those in charge of the one single entity controlling and spying on more people than any dictatorial regime that existed. If the effect is that the world learned that it is a good idea to end its dependence on US Big-tech, it would be a win.

YouTube coughs up $24.5 million to make Trump 'censorship' case go away

Finally they admit guilt

For collectively cooperating with the Biden Socialist regime. Four years of suppressing conservative content, four years of Covid lies, four years of gender misinformation, four years of leftist propaganda that would have made Joseph Stalin jealous, all came to an end on January 20, 2025.

The collective 1984 style censorship of Big-Tech media is a black page in history of a free nation like the USA.

With this pocket change, Big-Tech came far too easy off the hook for their assault on democracy and free speech, each of them should have been fined for one year worth of profit. It took Elon Musk to break open the leftist/globalist information monopoly by investing 40 billion to buy twitter. They left us with bad memories of a dark age in information warfare, increased numbers of myocarditis/pericarditis issues in the male population due to their propaganda for mRNA shots. Information involving alternatives like the classic Sputnik vaccine, without serious side-effects, was actively removed.

Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates

With love from the country of infinite greed and stupidity

Using proprietary corporate products is the tech equivalent of living under a dictatorship.

Dictators don't care what their subjects think, they do what benefits them.

Maybe the W10 support debacle is a lesson the world needed to get in order to feel the consequences of its Windows addiction.

The absence of massive Google Chromebook and iOS advertisement campaigns in the last 6 months is perhaps revealing the cozy relationships US Big-Tech companies maintain.

Even fantasy money can buy a lot of power – just ask Larry Ellison

Introduce the gold+Silver standard

On Day X, print pallets full of dollar bills, send them to people who claim to have borrowed money to the US government.

On Day X+1, give every US citizen 100 silver coins, valued against a certain amount of gold in the federal reserve, and declare the silver coins are the only valid currency in the US.

This cancels out in one move all inequality, the Wallstreet money, which is just warm air made out of nothing, is gone, ending the era where a colony of sniffling rats has too much power, wrecking lives of normal hard working people.

McDonald's not lovin' it when hacker exposes nuggets of rotten security

More customers asking for Google's Data Boundary, says Cloud Experience boss

MS, Google and AWS are all gaslighting everyone

The court case in France involving MS proved loud and clear that president Trump can request every bit of data hosted on a platform owned by these companies. There is no excuse for any organization in the EU using the services provided by any of these companies, they knowingly export client data to the US. It is specially sad in the Netherlands, where banks, health care organizations and the government itself are fervent Azure customers out of laziness and a don't care about privacy attitude.

These tech giants could setup European hosting companies in which they have a minority stake, making enforcement of the Cloud Act on foreign customer data challenging.

These hosting companies should have no activities in the US, since it could make them vulnerable to pressure from the US government.

In the process a piece of the IT cake stays in Europe and will still generate profits for Big-Tech without effectively handing over data of Europeans to the US government.

Re: Assessing Counter-Narrative Responses to the Global Far Right /s

Yeah, this "far right". What a bunch of horrible people are these, (r)aping and groping girls in public pools on a daily basis, blowing themselves up in crowds, cutting off heads of teachers in France, killing random people with rented SUV's on Xmas markets in Germany, dozens of knife attacks on daily basis in Germany, making whole neighborhoods unsafe, turning Stockholm into the (r)ape capital of the world, doing drug trade and petty crime on a massive scale instead of getting normal jobs.

The world would be a better place without these "far right" people doing all these horrific things.

NetBSD 11 prepares for launch with 57 supported platforms

Maybe it could be a bit of an omission to look at NetBSD that way. Check out the CVE's on cvedetails.com, for over a decade the most serious issues are a few internal privilege escalations.

The elegance of configuration is just amazing when coming from over-engineered and complex distros like RedHat and Ubuntu, who cater too much to the windows crowd than is good for them.

For single task, appliance like applications, NetBSD is an excellent choice. Minimal attack surface, simple configuration and high level of security.

When compiling a small kernel, by leaving out all the unneeded drivers, one can easily build a dedicated haproxy server using less than 512MB memory.

For someone used to Linux and the comfy package management most distros provide, NetBSD has a bit of a learning curve.

Europe's AI crackdown starts this week and Big Tech isn't happy

Re: "Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI."

Best example are the food regulations, what is sold in supermarkets in the "land of the free", would be disposed of in special chemical dumps in Europe by men in white pressured suits wearing masks.

In a world where greedy CEO's of food producing companies pose as much a health risk for the population as fentanyl dealers do, strict regulations might reduce probability on an obesity, diabetes or cancer epidemic like the "land of the free" is suffering from.

AI is yet another technology, controlled by Big-Tech companies who are already having an unhealthy amount of power over societies.

If they are let off the hook with this, corporate greed combined with the rich amounts of information and control over citizens they grant to governments, the essays of George Orwell will look like a joke within a decade.

Critics blast Microsoft's limited reprieve for those stuck on Windows 10

Re: Why not sell W11 without TPM for $ 60 with updates until 2030 ??

Thank you for the excellent reply, it will help many sitting with older high-end PC's.

Why not sell W11 without TPM for $ 60 with updates until 2030 ??

From MS perspective such a thing would make sense, nobody has an excuse not to update and they get quite some new cash flowing in their direction.

But maybe they got too cozy with hardware manufacturers to be able to drop the TPM requirement in W11.

Windows 11 migration heats up... on desktops

Re: Alternatives

There must be some collusion among US tech companies not to rock the boat in this blackmail scheme initiated by MS.

MS offered the Hardware manufacturers a fat juicy bone, by forcing users to ditch perfectly working hardware by the tens of millions if they want to continue using supported version of Windows.

Google, Citrix and others had several years to develop easy to use and install alternatives to help out those users wanting to keep their hardware.

It will be interesting to find out which price shops like Lenovo, HP and Dell have to pay to MS for running this extortion scheme on their behalf.

Perhaps what is more interesting is the fact no consumer protection agency or government stepped in to protect its citizens from the scamming by US based companies.

Eat or be eaten by AI, Amazon CEO warns staff

Post capitalism and Tech Feudalism

We are sliding back in 15th-18th century Europe, with Tech Feudalism replacing capitalism.

Salaries used to be 85% of the revenue from industrial companies like General Motors, Meta pays 1% of its revenue in salaries.

Amazon revenue is 54 billion in Europe, they pay zero taxes. They get 30% from each sale, making more than a 17th century noble got from the value of the harvest created by farmers on his land.

The money US big tech makes doesn't return in society, it stays dead in the fangs of the handful of tech billionaires.

Since it doesn't return to the society that spent it, Central Banks have to print more, creating inflation.

The disease of Tech Nobility will infect Europe as well, bad thing for them is that Europeans are not docile sheep like Anglo Saxons, the day will come for them as well after their greed destroyed all.

Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up

It is not as bad as claimed in the article

Claiming "internet usage statistics" of (desktop) browser X/Y/Z = < 5% is logical, since the default web browsers on Android and IPhones dominate the numbers by a great margin.

Usage of MS Edge desktop is 4.6% of overall internet browser traffic, Chrome dominates since it is both on desktop and Android.

In this environment Firefox with 2.6% is not a bad number.

The claim to fame of Firefox is privacy, it offers the freedom to define ones own proxy, which is not possible in Chrome or edge.

In corporate environments, employers will face more issues to insert employee monitoring extensions, a.k.a. spyware, in Firefox, which is easy in Edge and Chrome.

Danish department determined to dump Microsoft

Re: Well good luck, seriously ...

Munich didn't fail miserably. The politicians who took the initiative for migrating to Linux got a lot of bad press from the billionaire controlled mainstream media, in the elections their opponents got massive support from unknown sources.

In the end, such projects get slowly get killed by bad press and the will to continue gets worn down by the constant pressure imposed by US Big Tech calling the shots.

In a world where MS would disappear magically from one day to the other, transitioning to Linux and Libre-Office based solutions would be a quick operation for most people.

Check "Requiem for the American Dream" if you don't believe how much control these companies impose on our societies.

Windows 11 market share stalls ahead of Windows 10 cutoff

Re: Forced to Windows 11

It is a weird world we live in. One would expect that the likes of Google, Apple or Jeff Bezos would perhaps spend some money on an international campaign to pester MS with a good remade Linux distro, Apple coming with a specially attractive solution to replace windows, and making tons of commercials for it, explaining to get free of the MS shackles.

Where is google promoting chrome-os while MS users are blackmailed into trashing perfect working hardware ?.

To me it is actually proof that US Big-Tech is not competing at all, for appearances they do phony court cases now and then.

They have the pie sliced up, and nobody is trying to eat from each others plate.

Microsoft facing multibillion legal claim over how it sells software

MS is the love child of all the governments

If it not fines for monopolistic behave that goes into the coffers of the state, not to the citizens who overpaid or suffered losses due to unfair competition practices, then it are all the backdoors MS operating systems provide to governments and often foreign three letter agencies allowing easy access so they can spy on their citizens.

Those writing that Linux is bad and unusable are probably foreign agents employed by MS or governments, the price for the supposed easiness of using MS products is high in terms of money and loss of privacy.

It is amazing that one can find much information proposing a breakup of google in Standard-Oil style, while nobody talks about breaking up MS. It would make a lot of sense to split it into an OS division, a division for building applications like MSSQL server and office products and an Azure hosting division.

The world would greatly benefit from this split, competition flourishes and prices would go down.

The absence of such ideas shows how much MS is married to governments that have an obvious regulatory blind spot for MS as long they can extort a few 100 million from it every 3-4 years and easy access for spying on all the users of said MS products.

The State of Open Source in 2025? Honestly, it's a mess but you knew that already

Make it stop

" it's a mess but you knew that already.." It is perhaps news for those living in the dark Stalinistic dictatorships of commercial software providers: Free societies tend to be more messy than centralized dictatorships, which seem clean on the outside, but as soon someone scratches the thin layer of varnish, corruption, hidden failures and mass graves stare one in the face.

In the world of commercial software the manufacturer always respects the wishes of the customer, it would never discontinue software packages overnight, never increase prices, never get bought by a white shark company which overnight changes everything. A good example is Microsoft, a mere 70% of the PC's worldwide runs windows 10. Forcing a large part of those users to buy a new PC when they do not have this magic security chip is really a Nobel Prize winning idea. The world is lucky to have great minds succeeding Balmer and Gates coming up with these ideas.

America's National Science Foundation tells DEI, misinfo studies: You're fired

Re: Which nationality do all these Trump bashers have ??

Good to see people are experts in street language, but do not understand the concept of VAT returns on inputs needed to manufacture a specific item, which foreign manufactures do not get.

Which nationality do all these Trump bashers have ??

When someone in the Netherlands buys something for $1 off Ebay USA, it will cost in the end: $1 + E. 34 admin costs + 10% import duties + 21% VAT = 0.90 + 0.09 + 0.21 + 34 = E 35.20. This amounts to over 4000% import tariffs.

Friends living in North-Carolina paid 4% on top of the purchase price when they buy something from Europe before the new tariffs of president Trump were implemented.

A Chevrolet Corvette costs in the USA around $ 85,000, in the Netherlands over E 250,000, this is far over 300% import tariffs.

The 21% VAT in Europe gives European manufacturers an advantage when it comes to pricing, since they are able to recover VAT.

The Europeans seem to have pretty high trade barriers, they better tone down the rhetoric a bit.

Europe's cloud customers eyeing exit from US hyperscalers

Re: Trump? Really?

It is really hilarious, ignoring Patriot and the CLOUD act, all the lemmings were, and are still, racing to give US Big Tech as much money it can spend.

Systems of European healthcare givers, banks or insurances ?..... No problem mate, put it in Azure, MS says it is safe, so it must be good.

Not Big Tech is to blame, it is the collective corruption or "I don't care" mentality that is wide spread among the elites, European government leaders were not putting up guidelines, because Big Tech is probably giving them slices of all this juicy data.

Another fun fact: If somewhere a trashcan was blown over by the wind in 2022-2024 time period, it was president Putin who got blamed, now it is president Trump.

At least tariffs bail out management of failing companies for the moment, they should be grateful to have something to hide their failed decisions.

Uncle Sam kills funding for CVE program. Yes, that CVE program

New SSL/TLS certs to each live no longer than 47 days by 2029

Re: Sounds more like a money making scheme

The internet is owned by the mob, this is a racketeering scheme. "The Industry decides how long certificates are valid, and you dumb (l)user has to swallow what we invent".

How about companies decide themselves about their certificates, a small firm with a "Hello World" website doesn't have the same security requirements as an online banking site.

People will have to upgrade, replace and are confronted with increased complexity to "make" them use and buy the services sold by the same industry that sets the norms.

These IT-industry practices should make every sane person puke.

But of course, every consultant and journalist will be cheering, since stupidity rules the world atm.

Trump tariffs to make prices great – a gain

Ignore the 10 percenters

88% of the assets in the US is owned by the leeching 10-percenters. The remaining 12% is owned by the shrinking remainder of what is sort of "middle class" in the US. The rest of the population lives on credit card debts, mortgages and car loans.

Unless everyone commenting in this forum is part of these 10-percenters, i.e. CEO's making 2-digit millions per year or more because they outsourced to third world countries, it is not worth to take notice of their moaning.

The noise made by Wall-Street leeches is deafening because they have money and access to media, trying to convince the plebs that the 10-percenters are a blessing to the world and nothing should be changed.

Ignore the noise and watch what will come from it, a 1789 approach towards the 10-percenters would be more effective, but trade tariffs is what we have for now.

China’s chip champ Loongson teases trio of new processors for lappies, factories, maybe servers too

Performance 5 years ago is good enough for most corporate solutions, in the West CPU performance is just a rat race between software packages that have licenses per CPU, such as Oracle and VmWare, and costs for the complete solution.

I seldom see VM's using 100%, it mostly is restricted by network and disk I/O bandwidth.

More choice is always good and building CPU's is even better than the eternal whining about the policies of mr. T.

So … Russia no longer a cyber threat to America?

Re: Neville Chamberlain

This eternal Chamberlain bashing is not deserved. Mr. Chamberlain was a good man, who witnessed the horrors of the great war, and tried all means in his power to prevent another war to save humanity from another disaster.

It is so easy to be this great armchair strategist, blabbering about this and that whilst being far from the war zone, not sitting in trenches where the smell of rotting corpses increases with every day Spring comes closer. It is easy when ones kids or fathers are not drafted by great statesmen like Mr. Starmer, who is unable and unwilling to defend his homeland from child predators.

The bashing of the Chamberlain of our generation, named president Trump is equally revolting, it is like Goebbels said, propaganda sells anything, even wars.

Never fall for war propaganda, it is always supported by people who will be shielded from its consequences.

Open source maintainers are really feeling the squeeze

This is really a great marketing campaign from m$ ??

So many articles in the last months about how bad the OpenSource world is, from a tyrannical mr. Torvalds, Greybeards putting up hurdles to join, bad attitudes towards women and name calling rants.

The message these authors are spreading is that the OpenSource world must be hell, and it has no future, since who would join something like this ?.

A pattern can be seen here, these "authors" don't even bother to mention why OpenSource exists in the first place, it provides freedom from the Stalin communist dictatorship world of licenses offered by commercial companies. There will always people who will fight and work for their freedom, OpenSource is not going away.

Maybe El-Reg should focus more on positive articles, give info about OpenSource and stop the stream of sewage of infotising non-sense written by Big-Tech bots.

Does DOGE have what it takes to actually tackle billions in US govt IT spending?

What lives under the tile of the pavement

Is what mr. Musk exposed to the public by lifting tiles one by one, the vermin that lives under those tiles is now calling him names for exposing them.

Tax payer money to US media outlets generating content that is supportive to views democrats endorse and financing European media outlets to spread self destructive views on climate and immigration.

It does not only feel liberating now the fraud exploded in their faces, finally it explains why all the main stream media in Europe was singing the same tune for over a decade.

Observing how poorly European political elites deal with the interests of the citizens they are supposed to rule, it wouldn't be surprising if their efforts are rewarded by fat accounts on some offshore bank, filled by USAID. Maybe mr. Musk will be able to expose this as well.

These funding schemes are a direct attack on any functioning democracy, people should go to jail for this.

The more the left is screaming, the more they do to sabotage the good service mr. Musk is providing to the hard working US tax payer, the more they probably have to hide.

And in Europe we continue to dream about having something similar to DOGE, being liberated from a cancerous class of civil servants and politicians, taking 60%-80% of our salary using dozens of tax schemes, often worded in a manner only trained law professionals can understand.

Tesla sales crash in Europe, UK. We can only wonder why

It would be a great start of the campaign "Drill baby, drill !" that president Trump wishes to embark on.

DARPA asking for ideas on automating money laundering detection

Why AI ???

Just put cops on the street, stop every flashy car like AMG benzes, M-model beamers, Italian sports cars with too noisy exhausts, driven by a certain type and age of people, and check where the funds came from to buy this car. If something is fishy, check their whole family, with high confidence there is more, the DOJ should seize every asset they find and fly the crap off with a C-130 to the country they came from in over 90% of the cases. No AI needed, and within a year the streets are disinfected like they are surgery rooms.

I hope such ideas like Intel published will become mainstream one day, current practices are unnecessarily wasteful.

Trump hits undo on Biden AI safety order, EV mandate, emissions standards, and more

Finally somewhere here who was granted a healthy portion of brain cells by the Lord. The amount of climate sheeples here, who just are smart enough to parrot what the WEF and Georg Soros owned media outlets tell, them is worrying.

Trump will change the world for good, European lightweight politicians may exercise tough language , USA has a trade deficit of 300 billion dollars with Europe.

If Europe wishes to sustain this, it needs to be competitive, energy prices are a significant factor in this equation. Spoiler alert, windmills are too expensive per watt of energy and can not sustain continuous energy delivery.

Maybe there was a reason why people moved from wind energy to coal powered steam engines in the 19th century.

And in the mean time, US car makers can restart their assembly lines for V8 engines, so Americans can laugh about European climate sheeples in their rattling 3 cylinder lawnmower engined cars that cost a fortune to make and even more to repair after they explode within 60,000 miles.

Maybe the average European citizens learned something from what happened in the USA, and make a choice for a positive future instead of leftist fear mongering and poverty.

IT job market is still shrinking but not as quickly as last year

There is great potential

Replacing all humans in the value add chain Amazon/Ali-express/Banggood --> Customer --> Trash --> Recycling --> Products --> Amazon/Ali-express/Banggood is a great idea.

Jeff Bezos, or any other billionaire engaged in this, should be lobbying to replace humans with robots, since it presents a great business potential. Taxing children seems like a good start here.

It can easily be proven that AI driven robots make better choices, there will be less product returns, resulting in a greener supply chain.

Companies producing AI driven robots could also lobby with democrat politicians to give robots voting rights, if one can buy, one has the right to vote. Democrats would argue denying voting rights to robots would be discrimination, since robot would just be another gender in their dictionary.

The future is awesome.

Boeing going backwards as production’s slowing and woes keep flowing

Re: Boing

That is weird, 727-200 is too loud, but it uses the same JT8D engines as the Douglas MD-88 which can land pretty much anywhere.

Re: Boing

Airbus is also having issues, thousands of A320-neo's will have to be grounded for longer time due to issues with the PW-1100G engines.

Plane manufacturers experience the same issues as car manufacturers, the lemmings race for less fuel consumption and more features pressures everyone to start using new and often unproved technology that may rear its ugly head after some time, often biting its owner hard in the wallet.

If Boeing would still be producing technically perfected 727's, 737-200's and 707's using JT3D's, everything would be fine.

Adjusted for inflation, a 1973 model year 727-200 would cost USD 34 million in todays dollars, a 737 Max 7 cost nowadays USD 99 million, so planes got three times more expensive.

Not taking into account that a 727-200 is faster and has a higher seat capacity than a 737 Max 7.

Is it really the plan to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal? It's been a weird week

This article proofs Hypocrisy is invented by woke lefties

For decades we had billionaires like the James Bond movie villan Klaus Schwab, Soros and Gates undermining our societies by subsidizing leftist policies, and spreading the false climate religion to weaken Europe. Recently Soros paid Hungarian opposition parties countless millions as support for the elections that prime minister Orban won with 60% of the popular vote.

Now the left is getting a few spoons of its own medicine from mr. Musk, they cry murder. Mr. Elon Musk does it all very publicly, while Soros, Gates and Schwab were trying to destroy the West on a secretive manner, by donating billions to people who are the enemies of a wealthy and prosperous West.

A new dawn has started in the West, away with the leftist doom scenarios, their horrible gender policies which are hostile to humanity, away with the climate doom saying, away with the limitless immigration of people who hate the West and kill innocent people at random on public places, away with the cancerous communist polit bureau in Brussels after AfD and FN win in Germany and France .

We are on the threshold into an age of optimism and greatness, where the moldy leftist policies will be extinguished.

President Trump could indeed be sent to us by God, surviving two assassination attempts, God saved him so he can save us from the left.

Humanoid robots coming soon, initially under remote control

They are on to something

The Big-tech/Greedy one percenter billionaire bashing is fully understandable.

But one could imagine being willing to pay half the price of a mid sized car for a robot that would be in the house, cleaning, cooking, and does the checking of the beer levels in the fridge.

For at least 40% of the men, 40% is average divorce rate in the US, such a bot is much cheaper than a woman and it mitigates the risk of losing half of everything one worked for.

If they manage to get it half way right, robot industry will overtake car industry within a decade.
