If you have local warrants.

IIRC the US-UK CLOUD Act Agreement extended the jurisdiction of each parties warrants onto the other parties territory.

I have not looked at the US-EU agreement.

> It's a pain to phrase, but: There is no reason to use the Swiss flag to indicate a language. French has the French flag. German has the German flag. Etc. There are dialects, as a nuance to this, but you can solve that by e.g. using a 50/50 merge of the German and Swiss flags.

Okay, which flag do you use to indicate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romansh_language — one of the four official languages of Switzerland?

The Farage situation hardly applies as an example, if at all.

From the linked Wikipedia page:

> NatWest, the owner of Coutts, initially claimed that he failed to meet the Coutts eligibility criteria of holding £1,000,000 or more in his account, following the expiry of his mortgage. NatWest instead offered him an account with the retail side of the bank.

So it's hardly a case of debanking a random Joe. It was only a higher-end account that was closed for not keeping the requirements for keeping it, and Farage was offered a normal account.

From the same Wikipedia article:

> It was later revealed that Farage's account was closed in part as Coutts felt that his beliefs and values did not align with theirs. In an internal dossier, Coutts wrote that he "is at best seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists" and considered a "disingenuous grifter".

I genuinely wonder why no one is doing this? Why can't I buy this specialized AI inference silicon with plenty of VRAM?

I guess that would be an NPU combined with LPDDR. Basically any Windows Copilot Plus approved device.

Wrong! Tons of "regular users" want to transfer their image library from their phone to their PC. This is usually dozens of GB of data. Very often the tranfer (from iphone to cheap windows laptop via oxidized cable) is not even completly successful.

My usual recomendation for these people is to buy icloud storage ($$$$) and sync the images over the web, because this is faster an less error prone.

EDIT: therefore the average amount of times anyone who buys a non pro iPhone plugs it into a computer with the intent to transfer data to it is almost 0

If they were as advanced as we are now, we would have seen that the atmospheric CO2 levels had been higher back then, no? This paper draws the conclusions that such a civilization would be visible in the geological record.

Only if you assume that the supposed advanced ancient civilization oxidized large amounts of fossil hydrocarbon.

As consumer I always wondered, were the cars worse for it? Or were they actually better, if I don't consider emissions critical in my decision making process.

They were better.

I remember being probably about four years old, coming down the stairs, and my parents were so tall, they were taller than I was.
