Oh god that last one drives me up the wall. It entirely defeats the purpose of using a keyboard shortcut to switch applications if you have to move the mouse to open a window anyway. It's beyond me why MacOS wouldn't automatically restore the most recently minimised window, the way literally every other DE does.
The answer to most of these is the same: companies have to show that they are making a reasonable, good faith attempt to comply. If they can show that they have policies, that they have processes to implement the policies, and that their users have read the policies, understand the processes, and are aware of their own responsibilities then there's a strong likelihood that they will not run afoul of the directive.
Yeah, but they're simultaneously missing the fact that some of the protocols that underpin things like WhatsApp etc. were developed in the EU, and probably with funding from the EU.
I was a little confounded by the author's point about guardrails often being on the outside of sidewalks. It was only when I copy/pasted the URL for the article that they were quoting that I realised that they both had it arse-about-face and actually meant that guardrails are often on the _inside_ of the sidewalk. The outside of a sidewalk (path in this part of the world) would be the bit that borders the road, surely.
That might be a regional or a US/UK linguistic thing. "Outside of the sidewalk" meaning the edge away from the road is pretty common phrasing in the US.
It's a shitty thing to write but she's also someone who had very openly struggled with poor mental health for basically all of her life. I've a hard time holding something as thoughtless - in a very literal sense - as that against her.
And of course the physical characteristics - yes, that ASUS laptop has the same or a slightly better technical spec than the MacBook Pro that I want, but it's also made out of plastic and it's half-an-inch thick!
