In Italy, many of these invoicing challenges have already been tackled through a nationwide standardized system.
Every invoice—whether B2B or even B2C (receipts included)—must be sent electronically using a government-defined XML format. This invoice includes predefined metadata and is digitally signed by the issuing party. Once ready, it gets submitted to the national tax agency’s centralized system, called the Sistema di Interscambio (SdI), which validates and registers it before forwarding it to the recipient.
This system essentially acts as a clearinghouse: it ensures all invoices go through the same format, are verifiably issued, and are automatically recorded on both ends. For consumers (B2C), the invoice still goes through the same pipeline and is made available in their personal portal on the IRS website, while the seller can still email a copy (PDF) for convenience.
This centralized and machine-readable approach has eliminated a lot of the fragmentation seen elsewhere. There’s no vendor lock-in, no OCR, and no AI needed to parse PDFs—just a signed XML file going through a common pipeline. It’s not perfect, but it shows how much smoother things can be when the rules (and formats) are defined at the infrastructure level.
Is there actually people using siri? It’s pretty useless here in Italy. Most conversations I guess could be something like “raise the volume” “call mom” or stuff like that.
Yup, looking at their statement it leaves open a door for Linux.
Shipments are expected in the current week so we'll see right away if the boot loaded is locked or not.
Yup, I do not expect much on performance side either, Apple is still paying a premium price to TSMC and their architecture has already been proven valid with growing support.
It would be cool if with the end of the Qualcomm deal more Chips producers would start adopting Windows On Arm with their current lineup (Mediatek, Samsung etc) in order to provide a new life to the low end segment of the market that is definitively not price2performance competitive with x86.
"Microsoft tells Windows Central that the Windows Dev Kit 2023 is exclusive to Windows 11, with no official support for running other operating systems such as Linux or even Windows 10 on ARM. The product is designed for developers looking to optimize their apps for ARM on top of Windows 11."
In italy almost all new cars have a black box for insurance discounts. It helps avoid car accidents frauds that have been so frequent in the last 20 years here.
