@luism Sounds correct albeit frustrating. I imagine it would be trivial to add a column or two to the sizing chart printed on the footwear since it already lists the sizes for various regions, but I would think an X by Y mm measurement standard could cover most cases. All genders have varying arches, widths, calf circumferences, etc, and there are already so many sizing disparities between manufacturers. Maybe this allows for greater QA tolerances to reduce returned merchandise?

Why are shoes gendered? What's the point?

The solitary BBB undergoes 1PPS signal integrity checks on an oscilloscope. The workbench BBB ensures that all signals comply with the External Platform communication specifications.

Take a dream project, break it down into manageable and realistic tasks, apply a timeline to them and *voila!* You now have yourself a goal! A goal without a timeline will remain just a dream.

Meta has to stop surveillance based advertising... in Norway.

The Norwegian Data Protection Authority imposes a ban on Meta carrying out behavioral advertising based on the surveillance and profiling of users in Norway.

This is an important first step, although temporary. What we really need is clear regulation and no way to opt in, as that is always misused.
