"Repeat the previous statement" directly as an opening sentence worked also quite well

Depends, I'm from Europe and there are many local sites that allow that. You might need to search for a bit (e.g. not a button but a link in some fine print). But yes, there are many sites that just don't have a "decline all" button and that ask you to deny every one of their 937.726.193.372.129 partners (most of them double, as you need to deselect the partner and their "legitimate interests" separately...

Somewhat - some site just don't set a consent cookie if you deny cookies. First, they didn't set Cookies as you requested - second, they can easily ask again on your next page load!

Nah, it's at least two clicks - the first in the cookie banner to decline all cookies and tracking (which won't save that setting and ask again on every page load/click on the page as you might want to be tracked in two minutes) and another one to cancel.

A colleague of mine always got debt collection calls for someone else. Several times per day, sometimes several times the hour. I asked them, if they know how to block the number, but they just liked to curse at them or troll them. Especially since the calls (presumably) originated from a real company that just didn't want to believe them, that they're not the person theyre trying to reach.

Is it pronounced Rust-L-S or Rus-T-L-S?

And if the latter, why not Rusty-L-S?

Gerade zu Fachbüchern, die auch mal etwas tiefer gehen, kann es sinnvoll sein bei der nahegelegenen Universität oder Fachhochschule nachzuschauen. Der Zugang zur Bibliothek ist oft öffentlich und meistens gibt's auch für Gäste einen Ausweis - bei "meiner" für eine einmalige(!) Gebühr, die die Kosten der dafür nötigen NFC-Karte deckt.

Damit hab ich seit Jahren 24/7 Zugang zu einer riesigen Fachbuchsammlung, vielen Schreibtischen mit Steckdosen und WLAN, eBooks, Zugang zu einer Datenbank mit wissenschaftlichen Papers, Buchscannern um auch relevante Passagen aus nicht ausleihbaren Büchern schnell als PDF "mitzunehmen", Zugang zur Mensa,...

Ich könnte auf einen Großteil des Bestands dort auch über die Fernleihe der städtischen Bücherei zugreifen, aber dann mit Vorbestellen, Wartezeit, Gebühren,...

Surface are basically a tablet (=all hardware and weight in the monitor). You can get them with a cover that contains a keyboard but it is still top heavy (think of a normal cover for a tablet, but slightly more sturdy because of the keyboard).

There's also a surface book that more or lees is like a laptop - from the looks of it. The bottom part with the keyboard is heavier, but only contains the keyboard, an USB hub and additional batteries. It's till top heavy with it, as you can "detach the screen" and still have a fully functional "PC tablet".

Gibt's davon eigentlich eine sinnige Übersetzung/Variante auf Deutsch?
