PARIS, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Apple must stop selling its iPhone 12 model in France due to above-threshold radiation levels, France's junior minister for the digital economy told newspaper Le Parisien in an interview published on Tuesday.

France's radiation watchdog ANFR notified Apple of its decision to ban iPhone 12 sales after it had carried out tests which showed the smartphone's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was slightly higher than legally allowed, Jean-Noel Barrot told the paper.

Apple did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.

Barrot said a software update would be sufficient to fix the radiation issues linked to the phone which the U.S. company has been selling since 2020.

"Apple is expected to respond within two weeks", he said, adding: "If they fail to do so, I am prepared to order a recall of all iPhones 12 in circulation. The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants."

The European Union has set safety limits for SAR values linked to exposure to mobile phones, which could increase the risk of some forms of cancer according to scientific studies.

The French watchdog will now pass on its findings to regulators in other EU member states. "In practical terms, this decision could have a snowball effect", said Barrot.

In 2020, France widened regulations requiring retailers to display the radiation value of products on packaging beyond cell phones, including tablets and other electronic devices.

Every time I google a solution for a simple problem (like where to find a feature of a software in its menus or how to calculate something) I always have to navigate past the dozen youtube links to find the article or manual that tells me the solution in 10 lines of text.
If your tutorial could be a webpage then you shouldn't do it.

Edit: to all the people that suggest to make a specific query in the search, that's just a partial solution because there are times I don't know the entity of the solution and youtube could be a good place to look for.

I've been using Lemmy for more than a year now and in the last month I noticed this tendency to dunk on people that complain and make memes about reddit.
Let me get this straight: I agree with the sacred commandment "thou shall not compare the two platforms", because Lemmy is trying to be its own thing and the comparison keeps holding back this process.
But people that bring reddit up are usually new users that are angry with it and the just found a new platform where they can express this anger. They just need to vent for a second until their frustration is gone.
And you dunking on them is the same as if you were dunking on your friend who's angry they got fired because that's a topic you already heard.

The issue can be seen here, in the section where I'm talking about spoilers.

When using backslash breaks while describing the Markdown syntax for spoilers, I noticed that Jerboa has some difficulties handling the rendering.

In my text I wrote

\:\:\: spoiler **warning! spoiler!**  
the butler did it  
\:\:\:

but Jerboa rendered as if it was

If the same post is accessed by browser, it's rendered correctly so I don't think it's a syntax error

Hey everyone, I figured that some new users might not know that comments and posts have a formatting standard called Markdown.
In simple terms, Markdown is a (semi)universal language that uses formatting symbols to give a certain style to a portion of text.
This quick guide can help you to write in a way that's more appealing and easy to read.

FORMATTING	SYNTAX	EXAMPLE
New line	put two spaces at the end of the line you want to break	Line__
New paragraph	return two times at the end of the paragraf	Line↵↵
Horizontal rule	between each paragraph put three "-" or "*"	***
Bold	put your text between two "**" or "__"	**Bold** or __Bold__
Italic	put your text between two "*" or "_"	*Italic* or _Italic_
~Sub~script	put your text between two "~"	~Subscript~
^Super^script	put your text between two "^"	^Superscript^
Inline code	put your text between two "`"	`sudo rm -rf /`
Headings and Titles	put one or more "#" at the beginning of the line	# Headings for level 1, ## Headings for level 2...
Blockquotes	put ">" at the beginning of the line	> Blockquote
Links	put the the text between [ ] and the link between ( )	[Links]( https://piped.video/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ )
Images	like links but you put "!" before the first square bracket	

You can also do unordered lists using "-" at the beginning of each line:

- Salt
- Potatoes
- Beans

will become

• Salt
• Potatoes
• Beans

Or ordered list by putting "1." at the beginning of each line:

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

will become

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

You can save other users from spoilers by encasing a paragraph between a section that starts with "::: spoiler" + the title of the spoiler and ends with ":::". The spoiler will be hidden inside a menu and you'll be able to see it if you click on it

warning! spoiler!

the butler did it

will become

warning! spoiler!

the butler did it

In the end you can also format big code blocks by putting "```" at the beginning and at the end of each paragraph

```
println("Hello World!")
```

will become

    println("Hello World!")  

Last but not least remember that you can always use break formatting syntax by putting "\" in front of a character:
so if I want "^" in my text without having the rest of the paragraph in superscript, I'm simply going to write "\^"

Now go and have fun!
