For customer, unless you are a true digital nomad e.g. have no residency anywhere the benefit is: none.

For Estonia who uses services like Xolo to promote this for unaware people the benefit is: money (in a form of dividend tax, e-residency registration fees and so on).


> non-EU country which doesn’t model its tax code on the OECD model.

It's a very narrow list of countries then. Only reason where it would really work if the owner is digital nomad with no tax residency anywhere.


Yes, the specific details are outlined in the bilateral tax treaties between Estonia and the given country, but it is almost always tax evasion.

It mostly makes sense for people from countries with weak corporate tax enforcement that need a limited liability entity in a reputable jurisdiction like Estonia.


This should be higher up. Xolo deliberately hides this under small-print with vague statement about this issue.

If you manage your company in, let's say, Germany, it is de-facto German company in the eyes of German tax authorities. When German tax authorities will find this out they will make you open UG/GmbH and pay back the corpo-tax, plus possibly a fine.

Now you will be stuck with 2 companies - Estonian and German, which is way bigger hassle. Not to mention Estonian company becomes useless/liability.

I also want to mention that practically every country has offshore-company laws like this, even places like Thailand and other SEA countries. It's not only EU.


This was one of the first things I noticed after upgrade and was confused. I had an understanding that people in Apple UX are extremely meticulous when it comes to every single little tiny detail. I guess those times are over.

They still obsess about it but they seem to be idiots, and always have been. Nobody has ever been able to explain reasonably why "about this software" is the first thing on the first menu of every MacOS program - it isn't useful exept maybe once a year. It's a ridiculous UX choice, always has been. Don't get me started on Finder.

It's basically .vimrc/.emacs.d of the current age.

These meta-frameworks are useful for the one who set them up but for another person they seem like complete garbage.


> the trackpad will be excellent

Nope. It is mechanical.


The mechanical trackpad of my 2007 Macbook (the first unibody) is still better than any PC trackpad I've ever used.


Their mechanical trackpads were excellent too. It's only their keyboard which they messed entirely up.


What do you mean, "mechanical"?


A mechanical trackpad is like an unpowered treadmill iirc. Sometimes they ship with a gimbal mount so you can scroll more than one direction.


This explicitly says "Multi-Touch trackpad for precise cursor control and support for gestures", so at most it's the clicking action that is mechanical (rather than the click being faked with haptic feedback, as it is on the current models)


Most seniors are hired for their code readability and real-life experiences with real products and problems. Not for code writing ability.


> Nobody cares about you

This is such a low-iq argument I cannot even. Yes, nobody cares about OP, you, me, whatever - until they do. Not to mention general harvesting for profiling and propaganda reasons.

General: What do people in this city/country/region/etc are thinking - This is the main one where the data is used and collected, then grouped. It is extremely powerful information for targeted agenda whichever it might be.

Targeted: Oh, you or someone from your close ones went to a political protest? Too bad we have all this information to put you and your family in jail - This is where suddenly they will care about you, even when it is NOT YOU but someone from your close circles were the ones upsetting them.


It doesn't seem to work if you use Claude plugins like feature-dev and commit-push-pr.

I tested it with multiple PRs and I see nothing in GH nor Entire dashboard.


This does not address it one bit. Everyone has to install it, authorize themselves with said GH repo etc.

And since you mentioned "enterprise", they won't be able to use it if they do not use GH, and a lot of enterprise cropos use azure devops.

Also there is no user management etc, if anything this is ANTI-enterprise.
