#couriernew has got to be one of the #worst #monospace #fonts , and yet it is #installed almost everywhere. I really wish they had picked a better #default .
And this is a *major* #problem with #eu #vehicles - #speed #limiters built into *all* #cars by #default https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/spe.. Imagine for example you need to perform an #overtake - something that can *require* briefly breaking the #speed #limit in order to be done safely. That is just one #example where the ability to be faster is actually #safer ...
#russia are about the miss their #bond #payment by #technical #default as they #refuse to #pay in #us #dollars , instead #paying in #russian #rubles , which are currently very #inflated https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/wash.. Will be interesting to see where they go from here - I suspect further towards #china to meet their #borrowing and #trade needs.
Seems like #russia are #narrowly #avoiding #default on #bond #interest giving them a small #market #surge https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r.. Unless they figure out some #peacedeal between #ukraine , expect that to go back down !
#russia is about to go into #technical #default on their #foreign #currency #bond #payments https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/putin-.. In a matter of days they are pretty screwed.
#russia are about to enter into #technical #default due to their #ban on #coupon #payments https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/game-o.. This will likely see the #russian #ruble further #collapse . This has *massive* #longterm #impact on their ability to get #loans , #grow their #economy , etc. They are in serious trouble.
Interesting to see #cloudflare releasing a #filtered #dns #domain #lookup #service - I hope this does not become the #default https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-..
As expected, #china 's #ccp have #paid the #interest for #evergrande to avoid a #default for now: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas.. It really looks like it is now a #race to see who suffers #economic #collapse first, the #us or #china - whoever goes last gets to blame the first.
That's something - the entire #google #language of *all* #machines on #campus - irrespective of #os - have switched to using #chinese as the #default language... There was some kind of #reset #workaround , but not even that worked when I went to #login to #gmail ... I've never quite seen a #bug like it. Perhaps the entire #infrastructure was #compromised ?
