lnxtx , in Switzerland to phase out analog FM broadcasts by end of 2024

DAB+ sucks, they use as low bitrate as possible. What is the point?

Blaster_M ,

The point is to reduce bandwidth... analog uses 100 percent of the bandwidth all the time when transmitting, a digital signal can send information in packets, and allow more streams on one frequency.

Dublin? Who would think it's a nice city to live in? It's nothing but a very expensive kip.

Good start, now let's put her in the sea

silasmariner , in Exit poll: Labour to win landslide in general election

I'd be happier if Sir Kier hadn't been so down on rejoining the EU. Can only hope that is all just smoke and mirrors to try to stop too many people turning to reform and we actually end up with closer trade and travel arrangements with the EU. That fucking reform vote, though...

To be honest, every part of critical infrastructure should be critically examined for Security risks. Independent of who or where is was made.

I so hope the Tories loose so badly, that the Lib Dems become the largest opposition party. They at least are for rejoing the EU and would argue for it.

Rednax , in Highest point in Europe

If you ignore the southern most province of the Netherlands (Limburg), the next highest point is only 110 meters. Beating all other numbers on the map.
And the hill in Limburg that does set the height to 322, is the hill on which the German, Belgian, and Dutch borders meet.

CAVOK OP , in Lack of direct trains in Europe is pushing people to take flights, campaigners say

I heard that they have to switch driver at the border. Imagine if planes had the same requirement. Half the plane would be pilots. 🤣

zaphod ,

Not always, the drivers have to be licensed for the countries rail network. Also sometimes they have to change the locomotive. And going to eastern europe sometimes they change the wheelsets because of different track widths.

Badeendje , in Italy's banking giant UniCredit challenges terms set by European regulator to cut its exposure to Russia, seeks ruling from the EU's General Court

I hope they get spitroasted by the EU and Russia.

anzo Mod , in Immigration fears are pushing centrists to the right in the US and Europe

I don't like the article. Finishes with quoting AfD, like giving those words the relevance of being the "one" truth. Other quotes, to center-left politicians were along the same line, and the article only criticism was that they are just trying to keep up with the far-right narrative. Yet, the article misses completely the opportunity to offer any other perspective. I hope there's other ways to seeing this "criminal - migrant/ refugee" correlation. First and foremost, correlation doesn't imply causation. Secondly, refugee and migrant are two different things. Thirdly, "migrant" is full of ambiguity that needs to be presented: a proportion of skilled workers are migrants too.

But I did like Biden's move. Many migrants and refugee need to work. Providing the means to do so, or removing some of the restrictions can help integration to their new society.
