Also subscription services typically pay the actual authors only pennies. If you want to support the authors, buy the books or use libraries.

There are stores in many European countries that sell DRM-free e-books in local languages. They might use the term watermarked instead of DRM-free. See if you can find one in your country. Because they are DRM-free, you can use any device to read them.
Many libraries also lets you rent audiobooks and e-books. Many European libraries have moved to using Readium LCP DRM for e-books. You will probably have to use their own app to read them, which means you can't use e-readers, such as Kobo to read them.
At full operation, ITER is expected to produce 500 megawatts of fusion power from only 50 megawatts of input heating power, a tenfold gain. At this level of efficiency, the fusion reaction largely self-heats, becoming a "burning plasma."
That 10x gain would be pretty huge, if they can make it to work. I believe the record so far is only 1.5x.
I've been playing Expedition 33 on desktop Linux, and it's really great. It really does put a lot of other games to shame. Good to know it works acceptably on the Deck.
Kobo sells DRM-free e-books: https://www.kobo.com/p/drm-free
If you want to check that a book sold on Kobo is DRM-free, you need to scroll to the bottom of the page, where there is a section titled "eBook Details". It has a line that says something like "Download options: EPUB 3 (DRM-Free)".

They recommend Galaxus over Amazon, but many of the product links lead to... Amazon.
Uusimman tiedon mukaan Olkiluoto 3:n pitäisi käynnistyä ylihuomenna, lauantaina, kello 23:00.

As I understand it, the energy efficiency class is based on how long the device works with a full charge. They have laid out a test cycle that needs to be repeated until the device turns off. The rest of the information on that label is just for your information.
One problem I can see with this is that it pushes manufactures to set as high maximum charge level, and as low minimum charge level for the battery as possible. What is "full" and "empty" for a battery is something that the manufacturer sets. The higher the "full" level is, and the lower the "empty" level is, the more stress is caused for the battery, which leads to the battery dying sooner. If you for example limit battery charging to 80% charge level, you can double the expected lifetime of a lithium battery. But this rating system doesn't take that in consideration. It's up to the consumer to choose between Class A device with 500 cycle battery and Class B (or something) device with 1000 cycle battery.
The EU now mandate that smartphones and tablets must be repairable, with parts like batteries, cameras, displays to be available for 7 years from the time the device enters market.
Näinhän se varmasti on. Näin jälkiviisaana voitaneen todeta, että viime vuoden vuosihuollon kesto oli "hiukan" ylioptimistisesti määritetty. Sen oli tarkoitus kestää reilun kuukauden, mutta se sitten venyi ja venyi, ja lopulta siihen meni vielä toinenkin kuukausi. Tänä vuonna ne arvioi kestoksi suoraan sen pari kuukautta.
Kieltämättä jouduin hierasemaan silmiäni, kun tämän uutisen luin. Olkiluoto 3:ssa joku asia etuajassa? Alkuperäisen suunnitelman mukaan vuosihuollon piti päättyä 2.5., mutta ne meinaa saada sen valmiiksi jo 28.4.
Calibre can also convert between various file formats, and with DeDRM plugin, it can also remove Amazon and Adobe DRM.
