Yes! 🥳

The takeover of the company behind #DigiD (#Solvinity) by the #US firm #Kyndryl has been forbidden by the #Dutch Economic Affairs. This has been done "to protect the public interest" [against US data grab].

Solvinity is a cloud company that stores the data used by DigiD. DigiD provides functionality for Dutch citizens to exchange data with, for example, the #tax authorities, health #insurers and #pension funds.

The rapid growth of #AI #datacentres, driven by significant private capital investment, is presenting challenges for #insurers. Insurers are offering bespoke policies and exploring asset-backed securitisation, the mismatch between the lifespan of data centres and GPUs, along with the potential for disputes over property valuations, adds complexity to the risk landscape. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/06/ai-data-centers-financing-insurance-deals-gpu-debt.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I hope for the sake of this lads family that suspension mods to #VWPolo had been notified to insurers (its been lowered, I compared it to my own first #car which is a similar model) , and there isn't too much data on the ECU or its difficult to capture as car has sat at bottom of River Nene for a few days (although memory chips can survive this!) as #insurers are *really* going to be digging deep into reducing their liabilities for this #crash, with a dead passenger and other injuries/trauma to the survivors.

Daily Mail managed to doorstep witnesses/survivors and gleaned from them he was not habitually a bad/reckless driver and likely overcorrected steering trying to avoid #potholes - I 100% believe this, knowing what rural roads are like round here!
