What do you mean by that? Are they selling any parts and components for military use? Are they buying oil and gas to support their war effort.

Please speak for yourself. Not everyone in Europe thinks US is bigger problem than China. For many China is far bigger geopolitical threat since they openly support Russia in its current war.

I have my 9300 still in a drawer ( checked ) . Interesting if it is possible to find a replacement battery for it and what functionality would still be usable? A physical SIM, 3G still works…

Checked life expectancy in Finland: I guess you use booze to offset the positive effects of sauna :)

> To apply for British citizenship, you need to prove you were physically in the UK on your application date but five years ago.

I am confused whats British citizenship application to do with his, or any travel at all? That's not what you do regularly, I mean most people do not apply for citizenship in other countries ever in their lives? Or am I missing something?

Disappointing that EU signed it. I guess they are trying to push chat control by all possible means.

> The U.K. and European Union joined China, Russia, Brazil, Nigeria and dozens of other nations in signing the convention, which lays out new mechanisms for governments to coordinate, build capacity and track those who use technology to commit crimes.

EU will coordinate with Russia on cybercrime?

Yes I did pay for extra licenses. I also paid for the cameras to Reolink and disks to WD.

Reolink with Synology NAS using their native Surveillance app. All stored locally, no cloud. One issue with Reolink I haven’t solved is that it is unable to detect approaching cars in the night. Departing cars work fine though. Otherwise no complaints.

Can confirm this. I think it was sunflower oil which went through the roof when war started not vegetable though.

I mean this is just ... incredible. Are they living on the moon? Many real phishing messages are even more sophisticated than this.

yep, happened to my Fenix 7 as well immediately as soon as I activated workout mode (i.e. started GPS).

Ended up with factory reset and restore from Connect App backup.

Can confirm, everything runs in the watch, no connection to the app is needed. All your workouts are stored in the watch locally and synced to the Connect App once it is available. I never take my phone with me while doing workouts because its not really needed.
