As someone who is sadly no longer part of the EEA, I wonder what would happen if you selected an EEA region during install, removed everything you want gone, then set your region properly?

If the EU could force them to allow us to fully disable tracking as well, that would be great.

If privacy and security are your top priorities, which it sounds like they are, and you want a performance similar to OnePlus 8, go with the Google Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS. It's more aligned with your need for strong app sandboxing and convenient Google services integration, etc.

Have a look at SwissTransfer. Its run by Infomaniak, and supports files up to 50gb. You can password protect transfers and set the maximum amount of times a file can be downloaded.

Alternatively you can go a bit old school and encrypt the files on a pen drive and send by courier. I still do this as I have some family with broadband speeds from 20 years ago.

Coersive Exclusion usually falls under the Equalities Act in the UK and against one of the protected criteria in the act but Nationwide Building Society recently lost a court case against them regarding forced office attendance. I don't remember the specifics but it may he worth reading up on.

I will add, I'm no legal expert. My advice would be for your friend to speak to Citizens Advice Bureau or a solicitor to see whether they have a case.

This is more along the lines of their implementation of the Citrix Workplace App or Citrix Receiver.

This is Microsoft... What's the catch?

This article is very specifically talking about coercive exclusion which is illegal in the UK under employment law. Maybe in other countries too.

Not an opinion, just a genuine question. What are peoples thoughts on the inflation figures from ONS, do you think they are accurate?

This is great, but let's be honest it should be Scotland wide. Where I live this is ridiculously common, they get half the car or more on the pavement, stick on their hazard lights and seem to think that's OK.

One more thing, the fine isn't high enough in my opinion. There will still be people that'll carry on parking like this because they justify it somehow. Looking at you Aberdeen Range Rover mob.

I wonder what Infosys promised or paid the congressman.

This sort of thing needs stopped before it gets out of hand.
