That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.

Trucks are limited to 80km/h.
Then they’re speeding.
Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.
I don’t have a ps3 controller to try, but the internet seems to say no pretty unanimously.
“How to lobotomize your car” could become a whole new genre on youtube.
Well, you CAN actually use that 18 years old hardware with a PC. Try it on a PS5.
I can still be confident that when I buy a game for my PlayStation it’ll actually boot, I won’t need to use third-party software for controller support, and I won’t need to tinker with drivers.
Sounds like your last pc gaming experience was in the 90s.
It would be so funny if the EU decided Sony was a gatekeeper on the consoles without disc drives and forced them to allow 3rd party app store on them.
Hey, a guy can dream.
If you are selling three sizes of something, the sizes are called “small”, “medium” and “large”.
hard to comply with properly
Not at all. Don’t collect personal data that’s not technically necessary for the service to work. Tell users what data is collected and for what purposes. Done.
I wouldn’t classify “teacher” as a “position of power” in the sense that people who are mostly interested in holding power over others want the position for that reason.
There’s a huge difference between “being interested in power” and “being interested in improving things for yourself and other people”. The one is selfish in nature, the other isn’t.
There is also a huge difference between wanting a position and being good at it.
Positions of power are filled by people who are not interested in holding power.

Even in your example above, with only two letters, no numbers / special characters allowed, requiring a capital letter decreases the possibilities back to the original 676 possible passwords - not less.
No it doesn’t. It reduces the possibilities to less than the 52x52 possibilities that would exist if you allowed all possible combinations of upper and lower case letters.
You are confused because you only see the two options of enforcing or not allowing certain characters. All characters need to be allowed but none should be enforced. That maximizes the number of possible combinations.
that passwords should all require certain complexity, but without broadcasting the password requirements publicly?
No, because that’s still the same. An attacker can find out the rules by creating accounts and testing.
By adding uppercase letters (for a total of 52 characters to choose from), you get 52 * 52 = 2704 possible passwords.
You don’t add them, you enforce at least one. That eliminates all combinations without upper case letters.
So, without this rule you would indeed have the 52x52 possible passwords, but with it you have (52x52)-(26x26) possible passwords (the second bracket is all combinations of 2 lowercase letters), which is obviously less.
The only way you would decrease the number of possible passwords is if you specified that the character in a particular spot had to be uppercase
Wrong. In your example, for any given try, if you have put a lowercase letter in spot 1, you don’t need to try any lowercase in spot 2.
Any information you give the attacker eliminates possible combinations.
Which is funny because those strict rules reduce the number of combinations an attacker has to guess from, thereby reducing security.

If my workplace is in any way representative, it’s because decisions are made by close to retirement out of touch old geezers who want to virtue signal very hard that they are not out of touch old geezers. So they push the “new thing” for lack of any actually innovative ideas of their own. Then, when the younger team members who do have some rough knowledge of the “new thing” try to explain why it might be a bad idea, they call them afraid of progress and double down on the “new thing” even harder.
