@gregwolanski This is my fifth 🙈

Hi @wod0bow. We regulate the gatekeeper power of large online platforms under the Digital Markets Act. In fact, we very recently fined Google €890 million for unfair search and app store practices You can read the press release here: https://link.europa.eu/vrNJTx

A day that starts with a writing session is a good day.

In forums and social media I often run into a thinking where people want quick wins and shortcuts to having a large notes system without having to put in the work.

That's a dangerous trap!

Writing and processing your notes is the important bit. It's called thinking and without it, a knowledge base is kinda useless.

I often do double processing: quick note + rewrite to digital system.

@Jaimieserotica I thought as much. I'll make sure that you are the first to know.

@Jaimieserotica

But, please do not worry. I have many, many more puns flying around in my head, which I will be sure to share in the fullness of time.

@senkorasic I understand the LEGO analogy in theory, but I just don't find it fun in the same way in practice!

The outcome? Better products, achieving the same result with less energy and more intelligence in the design.

And this is how the humble vacuum cleaner got better.

— Regulation (EU) 666/2013 on ecodesign requirements for vacuum cleaners. In force since 1 September 2014.

@Jaimieserotica

Never too late to start if you haven't been doing yours, Ms Erotica.

In 2014, in Europe, there was much ado about 666.

That was the number of an EU law that required vacuum cleaners to use a maximum of 1,600 watts – and there was a lot of talk about the EU allegedly ‘’banning powerful vacuum cleaners!’’

What actually happened is that manufacturers had to get the same suction with less power. And they did. Because when aims are clear, engineers know what they’re doing.
