Apart from the fact that some countries don't allow dual citizenships so you would loose the other one:

- cost: ~2k

- time: 2 exams

- paperwork required to keep other nationalities in some cases

- after feb 2026, you can only re-enter the UK with a British passport (more cost) or with extra paperwork to enable your other passport (more costs ~500)

Countries that do not allow dual citizenship is a good reason, and maybe the cost and paperwork required by other countries (although, unless you really cannot afford it its worth getting it to cover yourself in case rules change). I did it myself.

The same goes for the cost of British citizenship. once you have it its just the cost of renewing passports (about £100/decade at current rates) for the rest of your life. That £2,000 is much less than the cost of renewing some types or residence visa and gives you the security of being a citizen.

When will AWS add a statement about being bound to professional secrecy (e.g s203 in Germany) so we use the LLM endpoints for sensitive industries https://repost.aws/es/questions/QUOuFPk9TLSUuClI_wYNmVCQ/ser...

I wish Azure would provide acces to gpt-5.x models in the EU datazone... Stuck in 4.x.

Also I don't see any of the big cloud providers (apart from Azure) saying they are bound to professional secrecy acts (e.g. the S203 in Germany)

How do people get more than 2tb of backup/cloud storage? it seems expensive to pay 20+ per month for this. 2tb+ should be very common these days?

also usbc in iphones! finally we can just carry one cable

I'm very glad we eventually got standardized chargers. It's too bad the standard happened to be the madness that USB-C is though.

Oh exactly, it's great to have a single cable / charger for many different items in the household. The biggest downside I see with USB-C in this case is that the cables and chargers get quite expensive if you want to be able to just grab one and charge stuff, without having to worry about wattage etc.

All in all a big improvement, with some future improvements left to make. Fingers crossed for a more sane USB-D in twenty years.

+1 to "We audit financial markets. We should audit attention markets too"

My attempts always had validation issues that stopped the ads from running but I never figured it out and stopped trying

Looks very nice and I'm tempted. Can you disable Bluetooth while not in use?

looks cool, are you planning an Android version? what was the biggest challenge in making this?

Hadn’t really thought about it tbh, maybe. Depends how fussy Android widgets and the watch stuff (which is the challenge. iOS widgets are a pain and doing any dev pairing with Xcode and a watch… lets just say I’m glad it’s all on fire…)

I had a similar situation with one of my apps. I decided not to; Android ecosystem is a bit horrible as a developer, and also Play Store users don't tend to pay for apps. Since then, Google has cleaned up the Play Store a bit so maybe things are different now but still... nothing eats the dev ecosystem for building iOS, WatchOS etc apps.

Just found this from Azure which specifically talks about Section 203 from Germany: https://assetsprod.microsoft.com/mpn/data-secrecy-amendment-...

> Microsoft is aware of legal obligations with regard to allowing access to Customer’s clients’ information and that non-compliance with such obligations can entail criminal sanctions for the parties involved (cf. in particular §§ 203, 204 StGB) (imprisonment or fines).

> Microsoft shall be obliged to maintain confidentiality in accordanc...

Would be great to find something like this from AWS or GCP.
