Massive brain on that guy.

It does appear that some on here who want 'closer alignment' or some form of partial rejoining need reminding of that.

Was just looking at his career as a diplomat, which seems pretty exemplary. Then he did the Whisky thing and then seems to have lost his mind.

A bit like Americans with guns, I think some Brits just lose their mind when it comes to the relationship with Europe.

I didn't have on my Brexit bingo card someone at the Telegraph being more pro-FoM than Starmer.

I'm guessing the "leisured masses" were not the ones voting for "British jobs for British people".
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I'm sure the EU are devastated to lose him.

This is one of the type of 'technical improvement' I expect to see used to ease traffic between the UK and the EU... each one might see minor, but add them all up over the lifetime of this parliament, and see where we are in five years' time...

He seems to think that voters will care.

Looks like the EU still has some influence on the UK...

So the EU has global influence, it was a worldwide problem.

best to not rely on technical analysis from a paper that can't even implement an effective paywall to protect it's online revenue
given ms's appalling record on security, it's ludicrous to claim that the eu allowing competitors to try doing better is to blame, bear in mind ms has issued at least a couple of updates this year that caused widespread problems, they make even cloudstrike look vaguely competent

MS might be risking a bit if they are telling outright lies, so I am going on the basis that there is something behind this. Also have not seem any denial from EU sources so far.

Is that because it's just Torygraph usual bollox? Why should a global entity like MSoft get involved with a bunch of knuckledragger clickbaiting waynekers?

Or it might be the Telegraph that's not entirely truthful. They made up a story about the history curriculum requiring teachers to compare the British Empire to Nazi Germany the other day. Complete bollox, obviously, but they published it nonetheless.

Any evidence for that claim?
Presumably other papers are also talking bollox? For example the famously eurosceptic Euronews 🙂

See my reply to Orraloon above.

Did you read the articles you posted? They seem to both confirm that the EU argument is bollox. Other operating systems don't seem to have this issue.

I am simply reporting on the Microsoft claim and don't see what you claim it says - where exactly is that? And as mentioned, the EU has not rebutted it.
Also you fell into the same trap as Orraloon of assuming that it was just the Telegraph reporting it, so I out you right on that 🙂

Microsoft claim that the EU have prevented them from restricting third party kernel access and that this access allowed Crowdstrike to break something fundamental with their faulty update. Both articles point out that both Apple and Google have managed to restrict third party kernel access and still trade in the EU, and cast doubt on Microsoft's excuse.

yep, ms are talking nonsense, it's just an attempt to try and distract/shift blame for the problem, plus they don't like being regulated
it's the eu that has been responsible for defending consumers/businesses from the monopolistic behaviour of ms, apple, google et al., that's definitely a good thing, just think back to the appalling piece of proprietary crap that was ms internet explorer

it's any reputable news organization's job to fact check and if necessary highlight any issues with such statements, they are not supposed to simply be a conduit to disseminate lies, nonsense and spin because it happens to suit their own agenda
right/left doesn't matter, reporting needs to be critical and factual, it's an important part of maintaining a free and democratic society
ms chose to implement eu law in a way that made windows vulnerable to what went wrong with crowdstrike (crash resulting from failure to validate input, that's a novice-level error, from crowdstrike in this context it's utter incompetence), the eu did not require ms to do it this way, there were safer ways to do it
