We call on the European Commission to propose legislation ensuring that digital identity and age-assurance systems used to access online services in the Union remain voluntary, privacy-preserving and non-discriminatory. Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law. The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof-of-age, data minimisation, selective disclosure, open-source implementation, independent security audits, prohibition of cross-service tracking by relying parties, and equivalent alternatives for citizens who do not use a digital wallet.

So a completely useless initiative, is how I’m reading this. The “unless strictly necessary” is a fabulous “think of the children/national security” -backdoor. This is basically the same platitudes, the EU and our governments are already feeding us to make online age verification digestible. And the headline of the initiative is blatantly misrepresenting the content…

Yes and no respectively

The blue bosch tools are from the professional line. The green ones are the “hobby”/homeowner ones. Batteries and chargers are not directly compatible between the two lines, Which is a dick move in my opnion. But the “green” batteries are compatible with products from Gardena and some other garden equipment manufacturers.

Blue bosch tools are very good quality but generally too expensive compared to their competitors, in my opinion. The green ones are alright but you could just as well buy some Einhell or Metabo tools then. They are alright as well and a bit cheaper from my experience.

“What is the most resource inefficient way we can come up with, to get supplies to the frontline.” I hate theese tech-bros so much…

Why? Most European passports already literally say:

European Union “Country name” Passport

On the front.
