I've been paying with Bancomat Pay on Amazon in Italy for a long time. Once EuroPA and EPI will be integrated together [0], it will be possible to pay with Wero on Amazon Italy as well.

> unilaterally converting some already sold bonds to '100 year bonds'

Is this even legal? I mean, is this possibility stated in some terms and conditions that one must accept when purchasing a bond?

"Very old" could mean that they were not up to date. What did they do when the backups didn't match the actual situation at the time of the breach?

> because Russia needed time to update glonass satellites.

Why is this? As leap seconds don’t occur on a regular frequency, I assume they are not hardcoded on the software or hardware on board, but the control centre uploads them on the satellites enough in advance once they have been scheduled. So why can’t the control centre just stop sending those updates?

Not saying this is the case of Roomba, but often devices need 24/7 Internet connectivity so that their manufacturers can sell traffic through their owner’s network.

It looks exactly like what Microsoft already did to its browser engine Trident, which was replaced by Google’s Blink on Edge.

Why is Microsoft pushing Windows users to use Edge? What does it gain if a user chooses Edge over Firefox or Chrome? Is it just about in-browser ad?

I often fly from Milan Malpensa airport, and I’ve noticed there are two separate security areas: one for people flying to the US or Israel, and one for everyone else. I’d always wondered why this was the case, and now I get it.
