In Belgium (and probably the rest of Europe in some form or another) a non-compete clausule is possible. However it is limited to those who make serious money (thing CxO) if generic and pretty limiting when it is more specific to the function if not.
If you are working in a distribution center lifting boxes, it will be meaningless. And if you have one, it will be said that the fine is e.g. 6 months pay. What many people do not know is that the fine is for the company to pay.
i.e. if I work at Microsoft as a webdeveloper on their website and I quit and go work for the postal service, I would be allowded to do so, as it is not the competition. Not only that (here comes the kicker) the company I left must pay me 6 months as signed by them. The excuse that can be said is that I was unable to work for the competition and they pay me for that. See it as a sort of severance pay.
I used to work for a company where I had something like that in my contract. The day I was let go, the also retracted that part of the contract.
As always, if you are in a situation like this, consult a lawyer that is knowledgable with these kind of laws. The one who did your divorce will not know enough about this.
So to make it enforcable, they will need to pay. If you still went to the competition AND they have a problem with it, you wil loose your job as of immideately.
Again: IANAL, I just followed some courses concerning the matter. Contact a real one. If you take legal advice on/. you are legally an idiot.
As with many things, legitimate users subsidize freeloaders.
So freeloaders cause the prices to rise, causing more income for the company. So the more freeloaders there are, the better it is for the company, right?
Now I am proud to be a freeloader. I make all these companies a lot of money and should get my share.
Just be sure you NEVER test it to see what it can do or how it looks. If you want to use the 200USD smart part, buy an external device for less than 200 USD.
No. Old people is not a new thing. There have been old people who where not "with it" for a longer time than the "fake news" situation.
The thing that has changed is not the old people. They are the same old people who moaned about the youth in Roman and Greek times.
The thing that has changed is the "fake news" part. When journalism was a thing, they verified what they needed and either published it or didn't.
Journalism was about bringing facts more than it was about bringing an opinion. Yes, onviously there where tabloids. They where easily recognized.
So you went to a shop, bought a newspaper and read it. That was your information. Those few pages. All the rest was not important enough to be put in the paper, so you did not hear about it. Kids in a mine in a foreign country? 3 lines if they are saved.
Then came TV. People watched news. 30 minutes of a few things about updatees what they already read in the paper. No kids in a cave, No time for it.
Then we started with 24 hours of news. News was not about facts anymore. It was about selling eyes to advertisers. It was about selling soap.
Still you needed to tune into it. You where still reading newspapers. However the more competition there was, the more opinions replaced news. And opinion piece used to be half a page on Saturday, just looking at a different angle. Being the devils advocate, as it where.
So news channels became opinion chanels. And then came the Intertubes. Everybodies asshole had an opinion, selling it as either the truth, like a TV evangalist or news or both.
The elder still had have the idea of "you would not tell a lie and publish it." That would be bad for your newspaper if people find out.
They believe editors are still a thing. THAT is the issue, not that they are older and are not "with it" They used to be "with it", now they don't even know what "it" is. (Yes, I know that is from some cartoon. Now get of my lawn.)
So all we need to make it clear to The Orange One that he is doing exactly what Obama wanted him to do. That way he will make CO2 illegal (or something allong those lines)
There are plenty of people wh l have my bank account. They just can't do anything withit. Just like you see plenty of companies that put their banking information online.
You cannot just call them and say: Hi, my name is houghi, tranfer money from account X to Y.I can not even do that
Youâ(TM)re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, itâ(TM)s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it canâ(TM)t, not without your help. But youâ(TM)re not helping. Why is that?
I own several computers. If an employer even sugests I use them for work, I would think he was joking and joke back "Sure, and I can use your bankaccount in my private life."
No way will I use personal stuff for work. Not even my phone.
It is because people don't really have a choice. Either you give up your privacy, or you give up your freedom. Sure, some people will be able to root their phone. Big whoop. 99.9% of the people are unable to do that.
It is like picking if they cut off your left or your right pinky. They might think it is a choice, but it really isn't.
I went to these countries. I went to the identical hotel after a week. They saud hello, called be by my name said "we have the same room for you" and asked for my pasport again, because they DID NOT KEPT THE DATA.
Not happened in even one country or in chain of hotels. Due to reasons I had to travel a lot in the last two years.
Saving that data is nit obligatory. It happens on request of the lazy customer who can notwait 30 seconds to reach his minibar.

Put the bar as low as possible, unless you do a Limbo.
If they are, I bet they are less annoying than the zombies looking at their phone and walk slower than, well, a zombie.
Or how about a raspberry zero W woth a camera and a button.

They could easily say "Outside of your legal part of the world, only Netflix content can be seen"
For now it is a sample of one. Does not even mean that she was allowed to do what she did.
In at least one, they tried to fly the plane. (Too soon?)
TIL: The US is a circle. If you are unable to give a point, you do not give the average point, you give the whole area.
A point is one dimension, an ares is two.
If you look for a city or a state or a country, you do not point at the middle and say: there is is.
Just be sure you NEVER test it to see what it can do or how it looks. If you want to use the 200USD smart part, buy an external device for less than 200 USD.

Nice for those who die in the next 20 years after going in to late, just because they did not have the money.
And I am sure that the price will only go up, not down, as with plenty of treatment s and drugs in the US.
Either you kid looses a parent, or it will suffer, because all money went to reatment.
So all we need to make it clear to The Orange One that he is doing exactly what Obama wanted him to do. That way he will make CO2 illegal (or something allong those lines)
So it does have the same effect, except it hasn't. Did I get that right?
Just give me all your passwords and tell me not to use them. That has the same effect as me not having them, right?
If I need wooden shoes for my job, he better buy them.
Printing what now? Isn't that a nationality?
Joking aside, we don't use them.
There are plenty of people wh l have my bank account. They just can't do anything withit. Just like you see plenty of companies that put their banking information online.

For me the only app connected to my bank is my banks app. I seeno reason why somebody else would have access to it.

When I use them, I just pick it up at a local store or at the post office. If I did not sign for them, I did not receive them.

Whatever you do, buy online as the keyboard layout will be different from what you have.
Unless she absolutely needs it, think also desktop. Or at least make it clear that that is an option.
I hate getting a laptpp from work, because it means I neet to work outside office hours.
Also give her a real keyboard and mouse. Working on a portable day in day out is terrible. Again: keyboard layout.
I own several computers. If an employer even sugests I use them for work, I would think he was joking and joke back "Sure, and I can use your bankaccount in my private life."

The probleem is that people want it. They like to get the 30 seconds of nit handing over their passport.
