A constitutional requirement to be a president doesn't require a trial. If you don't meet it, you don't qualify. Just like not being 35. There is no need to be "convicted" of an offence related to the requirement. So election officials or indeed the Supreme Court can judge this without a trial.

Re: Should be a worldwide regulation
NO. a) Yes they do. See GDPR guidance from your legal dept or your DCO who will know what they are talking about - otherwise how would you possibly know who GDPR applied to? b) Where the data is processed is not relevant. This applies globally to the data of EU (and UK) citizens and residents. Where the entity is doesn't matter.

"If Linux is such a POS then why is MS embracing it like there is no tomorrow?"
They are just making it easier to run Linux stuff under Windows and to migrate your legacy midrange systems to Windows / Azure. If it continues this way you wont need Linux at all but can run everything under Windows. Microsoft are already adding GUI support to the Linux subsystem for Windows.

You can see who it is from the other end of your garden / in bed without visiting the front door. And you can answer the doorbell when out which is a major security benefit as you can say you cant come to the door right now if its "lucky heather sellers". Also can leave instructions for couriers / deliveries, etc that might otherwise have to be rescheduled. And you can set it to record video from movement and act as a CCTV system.
