Haven't noticed that yet in my area. My village has 2 banks with like 3 ATMs each, which is the same as it was 20 years ago.

Bank ATMs are still fine in Germany, bonus of still being a cash based society I guess. You can also withdraw cash when paying with your card at every major supermarket chain. Works fine with German cards, no idea for foreign ones.

Depends. I almost always buy clothes and shoes in actual stores, as shopping for them online is a wasteful hassle. There are also some shops that I enjoy visiting, like second-hand stores or Asian supermarkets, where it's interesting to just browse and buy interesting things I wasn't specifically looking for.

On the other hand, I always buy stuff like electronics online. Electronics stores are more expensive and have a way smaller selection, so I don't bother with them. Generally if I'm looking for something specific, buying it online is just more convenient.

Personally, I wouldn't even consider it, as I value my time and health far more than getting some extra money. 40 hours is already quite a lot IMO.

Smoking. Millions of euros of taxpayer money spent every year on those lung cancer patients which could be well spent elsewhere. It's also an activity that negatively affects not just the smoker but everyone around them.

"Can we integrate AI into this app?"

"Can you do a browser version of this high-end VR training application?" somehow makes a browser version "Why isn't this running on my iPhone 3GS?!"

The "vulnerability" here was basically just having Kernel level access, which CrowdStrike is intended to have. If hackers had that, they've already won anyway. The difficulty lies in actually getting that level of access. So no, it doesn't change a thing for hackers.

Me, never in fact. Parliament votes for the president, who is just a figurehead anyway. So far I've never been elected to parliament.

I did vote on all the elections I was actually eligible for, however.

If Biden endorses Harris at any point, she is the is the nominee.

Looks like that just happened.

Watch the news and be depressed about it I guess. Also, being glad not to live there.

Probably the right decision, I think, if very late. Will be interesting to see how the Democrats will go about this now. Kamala Harris seems like an obvious replacement, but is she really popular enough? Might be because I'm European, but she was never on the news for anything here and I know next to nothing about her.
