Readit NewsApple implemented a similar change for the EU App Store earlier this year to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA), a regulation that now requires app developers to provide their “trader status” to submit new apps or app updates for distribution.

How do you explain to a caveman that a living in a house is nicer than living in a cave?
>Why bother spending money or time making changes to my home's critical infrastructure. I doubt I'm the only one.
You don't have to pay, In Eastern Europe telcos pay themselves to wire fiber to your door in hopes you'll sign up with them. It's something you don't have in Germany, it's called free market competition. The German mind just can't comprehend having competitive companies that serve the consumers and not sclerotic state supported monopolies that only support the shareholders by robbing the consumers. Why are you guys like this?
>And then there's the millions of boomers
Of course, the way to move forward technologically is to cater tech to boomers habits. That's why Germany is a SW innovation powerhouse.
It's wired, I just have to sign up. But 1000 Mbit is more expensive than the 100 Mbit I have now. I just don't see the point. If that makes me caveman, so be it. Work on your manners.
In Switzerland it's very unlikely you find a mountain or road without 4g

"Today passengers enjoy at least 200 Mbit/s on 99 per cent of the 7 800 kilometres of main lines and even 300 Mbit/s or more on 95 per cent. Secondary lines also saw a transformation. Coverage of 100 Mbit/s rose from under 83 per cent to over 96 per cent in just three years."
However:
"Yet coverage is only half the story. Mobile signals must penetrate each carriage’s interior if passengers are to make calls or stream without interruption. Many modern trains are fitted with factory-installed windows engineered for signal permeability."
And of course many train's aren't fitted with windows like that (and operators are trying to retrofit them with microcells or in other ways).

And then there's the millions of boomers around whose only device is a smartphone and they never exceed the 10 or 20 or 30 GB they get on a mobile contract that's less than any DSL or fiber contract. Good luck selling them 900 Mbit symmetric links.
In fact I'm sure there must be hundreds of thousands who still pay for DSL that's essentially unused because their phone lost the Wifi credentials and there's no grandkid around to notice it. Their house will be upgraded to fiber when it gets resold because it ticks a box for the real estate agent.

Photos -> share photo -> whatsapp
Instead of starting from whatsapp
Having given it that permission, I can share photos from within Whatsapp as well, without going to the Photos app. I'm not sure if the file picker that pops up is a Whatsapp component (meaning the "Limited" permission is essentially unlimited) or if it's a system component. I mean the latter would make sense, but I'm too cynical to believe it works that well.
