Actually, no. e/OS includes MicroG, so even most app requiring Google services work just fine. What really doesnt't work is Casting videos to a Chromecast, and anything requiting Play Integrity certification like Revolut.

Give Piquadro a look. They are originally from near Bologna (Italy) though they've gotten so big I can't imagine that they still produce everything there.

Wallets: https://www.piquadro.com/en-de/collections/wallets

And card holders: https://www.piquadro.com/en-de/collections/card-holders

Plenty of options with some style variations.

My last wallet was one of their "blue line" card holders in orange leather. The leather that was great and aged great for 10 years. I replaced it after 10 years of abuse because the pockets were getting a little stretched and the cards were occasionally falling.

Bought another one from them, more wallet-like this time. Let's see if this one beats the 10 years mark. I still have the well-loved old one around if you want pictures.

mp4 is not really a video format. Depending on how recent they are they'll play a broader or narrower range of MP4 files, depending on codec selection.

Time and convenience and... local shops were and are largely very disappointing for many types of purchases.

My first online buy (in 2003, at the age of 17) was a decent wired optical gaming mouse, a Logitech M510, in 2003. The first optical mouse I ever used that wouldn't skip.

The selection at local computer stores was lacking to say the least, and they also could not give much good advice anyway.

I swear to you, my first thought was "an Apple peeler? Why would Apple make peelers? Do they have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?"

Was using CUDA a problem?

Does someone want to convince me that the whole AI industry is training their models on windows machines?

But by that standard, Windows isn't ready either...

Looking at the Team, they're obviously in Milan. It's mostly Italians, but there's hardly any other place in the country where you can even attract a team that diverse.

What you read is true, and also total nonsense.

There is not too much point in discussing privacy and security without a threat model.

So once you put your threat model into focus, you can discuss how to mitigate those threats and pick the right browser for you.

Yeah, if that's your criterion now, your "Buy European" selection is about to become a whole lot narrower.

San Pellegrino is still made in Italy, and Nestlé is headquartered in Switzerland so...
