Dann sollten aber im Gegenzug auch mal alle Kassen permanent und gleichzeitig besetzt werden, um die Parkzeit in der Folge möglichst gering zu halten, wenn den Supermärkten daran gelegen ist. Am Ende parkt man zu lange, weil von vier Kassen nur eine besetzt ist.

Ein Lidl an meinem Arbeitsort wurde mal eine Zeit lang augenscheilich nur von einer Person geführt, die Ware verräumt und abwechelnd kassiert hat. Da war eine Kasse (die einzige) nur immer temporär geöffnet. Eines Tages war dann eine Entourage vom Hauptstandort für einige Wochen anwesend und seitdem hat sich das etwas gebessert.

Das ist ja mal richtig kleinlich. In jeder deutschen Großstadt kann man froh sein, wenn solcher Müll zumindest neben dem Mülleiner liegt. Das zeigt aber auch, dass es durchaus ratsam ist, Hinweise auf die Identität (Adressaufkleber, Paketnummern etc.) immer von Dingen zu entfernen, bevor man sie wegwirft.

Solche Pedanterie scheint aber in der Schweiz öfter durchexerziert zu werden. Ich habe vor einiger Zeit mal über einen Fall gelesen, bei dem ein Autofahrer ein Bußgeld erhalten hat, weil er auf einem Stellplatz sein Fahrzeug nicht ganz mittig, jedoch noch innerhalb der Markierung geparkt hat.

Despite not answering your question correctly, I have something where Windows is superior to macOS:

When you start a Windows program and want the program window to fill your screen completely, you just have to drag the window towards the upper edge of the screen and the window fills the whole size of the screen.

On macOS there is not such an option. You have to drag the program window manually to the full size of the screen. Although there is a full-screen mode (green button in the upper left of the window), when activated, the window is in full screen, but the menu bar at the top of the screen is hidden. However, at least macOS remembers the last size of the program window, so you don't have to drag it to full screen size again.

Of course many comments in this threas are exaggerated; there won't be played any ads into your brain.

But there are some implications for the usage of Neuralink that are worth thinking about it - especially when it comes to privacy:

Given that it "just" runs with firmware, so that the implant can function in a way most stable and reliably, and also given that there will be no subscription model involved into all of that, will the user (patient) be able to control the functionality of the implant (e.g. controlling the intensity of the eletric signal sent out from the implant to counteract the intensity of a tremor)?

And how will that happen? One thing I could think of is to control the implant with a smartphone app. How good will that smartphone app be? Will it be programmed sloppily like these apps we know from Internet-Of-Things-Apps and have a ton of bugs? Are those (medicinal!) apps secure in terms of privacy? What is with the product support? Will the implant be discontinued after a few years (and also the app)? What if your smartphone fails (no power or hardware failure, or after an update it doesn't work)?

A friend of mine has an app to monitor her blood sugar. She is not qute satified with the app. Luckily the provider of those diabetes sensors provided a separate device, so that the app is just an addition for measuring when you are travelling, for example. But in their last iteration they tried to omit the separate device, probably in order to save costs. My friend had to explicitly ask for it.

With that in mind I'm not keen on having control on such medicinal devices with a smartphone only. If the smartphone fails, there would be no backup. Will such similar things be the case regarding Neuralink?

It's always a good advice to be on good terms with the surveillance officers. I do it too and sometimes they even look in the other direction when I did wrong ;-)

Top Notch - https://topnotch.app/

Apparently you need a third party app to switch the color of the menu bar to black so that you can hide the stupid notch.
