I’m pretty sure this will happen to anyone that has a copilot “compatible” pc and install the patch Tuesday updates… If they use copilot or not.

There’s a link to the github page that has the depreciation notice right there…?

In a lot of European countries there are local payment apps that work as alternatives. Some banks even have payment support in their own apps.

Check your local market for alternatives, though if your market is the US then there probably isn’t any.

No.

But third party payment apps might work. I’m using one for contactless payments and it works just fine.

Using contactless nfc payment on my grapheneos phone almost daily.

Just not Google Wallet.

Yeah, but you can also sign in by scanning a QR code with a logged in device.

Though technically it’s then other way around, you sign in to your desktop by scanning the QR code in the login window with your logged in phone.

Well yes, but it has it as an option.

Most countries are not spending more than 3% of their GDP on infrastructure every year as far as I know. Not for the stuff actually covered by this at least.

It might be a net decrease in defence spending for some countries, but then there’s the argument that infrastructure spending is indeed defence spending.

It does. Literally all infrastructure spending can be used against the 5% spending goal.

That’s how they got it through, Trump got a bigger number to boast about, NATO countries got to include all infrastructure so that there isn’t really that much of an increase above the 2% spending goal.

Closest place I can pick is 1400km away, I don’t think that classifies as close to me :(

Hey I’m not saying we shouldn’t have inheritance tax.

Did people read the article? He’s been doing sperm donation for 15+ years, and wants to leave his inheritance to also be split with the kids that have come from sperm donation. Isn’t this a good thing?

It’s not like he’s personally impregnated women for 100+ children. Which it seems to be what the comments here are reacting to?

Not saying this billionaire is a saint or anything, but it really doesn’t look like people here are reading past the headline…
