To this day I can't fully understand why they did it.

Yeah he beat that horse to death but he has a point.
You see, this is why atomic desktops aren't a bad idea.
Commercial breaks? What about "Sting Ray Bob's Team Goodheart Animal Health Centers car is coming in for a fresh set of Firestone sticker reds and a new tank of Shell racing fuel!"
Just imagine how the season would've been if RB actually had two competent drivers.
I've been following F1 since almost 30 years and one thing has been a constant - stupid rule changes, and one thing has been consistently getting worse - the stewarding, especially since Whiting's passing.
Zero consistency and the punishments make zero sense. The mirror was lying around for what, five laps? Didn't seem all that important to them.
A part of my family is extremely religious, and borderline fundamentalist. After a while I've been able accept the fact that some people want to know how the world works, and some want to believe.
I know that my death won't be much different than if our dog dies. My consciousness will cease to exist, and I'll either get burnt or decompose. Many people are filled with existential dread and look to religion to comfort them. And that's cool for them.
And then their things beyond your understanding, that you fill with little stories. Sickness isn't something that can be prevented by a shot, it's a punishment. Not getting kids? A punishment. Pork? Haram because Allah said so, not because refrigeration didn't exist. Whatever makes you happy!
The problem I got is that these people are easily lied to and manipulated by authority. The religious right are so easily played by Trump it's embarrassing as a human being.
It's this kind of mental gymnastics that killed church for me. Jesus had a pretty decent moral framework set up, but people mangled into a bunch of hocus pocus.
Moreover, personal transaction details of offline digital euro payments would only be known to the payer and the payee, providing a cash-like level of privacy.

Private payments with a wallet on you phone is something the digital Euro is supposed to offer, if it ever arrives as designed.
Bei uns muss ich mich gar nicht melden. Hab vor über 10 Jahren ein Brief bekommen und bin dem brav gefolgt, und folge seitdem jedes Mal wieder wieder die Aufforderung.
Meine Frau hingegen hat noch nie eine Aufforderung erhalten.
Because quantum physics. A qubit isn't 0 or 1, it's both and everything in between. You get a result as a distribution, not as distinct values.
Qubits are represented as (for example) quantumly entangled electron spins. And due to the nature of quantum physics, they are not very stable, and you cannot measure a value without influencing it.
Granted, my knowledge of quantum computing is very hand-wavy.
