In the EU bottle caps have to be attached to the bottle so they stay together when thrown away. Everyone working in recycling and especially people working in stuff like river cleanups praise how this is a gigantic improvement. It is universally a good thing.
Even Coca Cola used it in advertising to sell how environmentally friendly they are (by not breaking the law). However they are only doing it in countries where it is legally required and nowhere else.
No the point of this discussion is about having one single yes/no question about the standard or a list of features.
Then no browser will be “up to” the last 15 years of the standard as none implement all features.
The problem is that the standard is fucking huge and maybe your browser supports every feature of version 5xx but is missing a feature related to authentication using guinea pigs introduced in v369. So it would only be allowed to advertise compatibility with v368 even though it can do everything except Guinea pigs.
Realistically you would trim the standard to a core set and advertise compatibility with a version of that and then advertise optional extensions. And that’s optional bits if you ask me.
Isnt cryengine from Europe? Not sure what their licencing is but I seem to remember there being non crytek games in cryengine
I heard the wisdom once that you should self host everything except for email. I’m sure there are great tools to make it manageable but the effort/gain is just very high.
Just find a email provider that let’s you connect your own domain, use wildcards, etc.
Of course email is pretty central to most digital identities, as most accounts can be reset through email. So if you absolutely want to be sure you control your identity you must self host email (but you also must own the authoritative DNS for that domain so you must register directly with the TLD and not through a registrar …)
It can not exist. Microsoft can and will bring it back if they want to. Unless you are also disabeling all windows updates, the computer will never be under your control. And disabeling windows updates … lets just say there hasnt been a month without a 9-10/10 security vulnerability in a microsoft product in a long time.
Why though? How does this force anybody to do anything? They will fine anybody 2500$ for handing this to a kid and call it a day. Maybe even move closer to the maximum fine because it is a deliberate breaking of the law.
You are asuming the cost of a network card and a microchip is higher than the profit they expect from the ads. Many smart TVs are cheaper than an equivalent dumb TV
You can read right?
Führer = Hitler
Something-Führer / Führer-Something = not Hitler
The word Führer is 99% used for Hitler. There are many variants that are OK to use though. Most notably Anführer (if Führer is leader, Anführer would be “the one who leads ahead”) which is the common word to use for leader. Others are composites like Bergführer (mountain guide).
The swastica also existed before the nazis but is now forever tainted.
You don’t get hacking protection from bots
I disagree. I don’t know the details of cloudflares bot detecion, but there are many automated vulnerability scanners that this could protect against.
I said that instead of crashing the system they should have something that takes an intentional decision and informs properly about what’s happening.
I agree. Every crash is a failure by the designers. Instead it should be caught by the program and result in a useful error state. They probably have something like that but it didn’t work because the crash was to severe.
What’s the point of your complaint if you do agree?
I am not complaining. I am informing you that you are missing an angle in your consideration. You can never prevent every crash ever. So when designing your product you have to consider what should happen if every safeguard fails and you get an uncontrolled crash. In that case you have to design for “fail open” or “fail closed”. Cloudflare fucked up. The crash should not have happened and if it did it should have been caught. They didn’t. They fucked up. But, i agree with the result of the fuck up causing a fail closed state.
it shouldn’t crash the whole thing: if the bot detection module crahses, control it, fire an alert but accept the request until fixed.
Fail open vs fail closed. Bot detection is a security feature. If the security feature fails, do you disable it and allow unchecked access to the client data? Or do you value Integrity over Availability
Imagine the opposite: they disable the feature and during that timeframe some customers get hacked. The hacks could have been prevented by the Bot detection (that the customer is paying for).
Yes, bot detection is not the most critical security feature and probably not the reason someone gets hacked but having “fail closed” as the default for all security features is absolutely a valid policy. Changing this policy should not be the lesson from this disasters.
Yes but no. If you use a different service for the same purpose as you would use cloudflare you will be just as offline if they make a mistake. The difference is just that with a centralized player, everyone is offline at the same time. For the individual websites that does not matter.
sifting through data, finding patterns and acting based on patterns. Its potential applications in medical diagnostics or surveillance …
Those are the "expert systems’ they were talking about. ML systems and not genAI. They are not the AI people mean when they use the word AI.
Sadly they dont. At least not nearly to the extend that they should be.
“Nö” is a very childish “nope” in German (maybe even also in Swedish I don’t know) so a Nö-bel Prize would be very fiting
That is factually incorrect. Many websites would literally stop working. Not “mildly confuse”, but “be unusable”.
You ever logged in to a website? That’s a cookie. Ever used an online shopping cart? That’s a cookie. Ever changed a websites language in a dropdown? That’s a cookie.
All these cookies are first party. There are also essential third party cookies for thing like SSO (“sign in with google/Facebook/github/etc”)
Tell your browser to reject 100% of cookies and tell me how much fun that is.
“Legitimate Interest” is the bullshit term. Why does an ad company have a legitimate interest to my data? That should be removed from the law.
It could actually be true in the sense that producing 1mil things for 1€ each or producing a single overpriced luxury version of the same thing for 2mil€ is a 1mil€ difference in the GDP.
But I’d argue the first is still a better economy than the second. But economists will only like the second one.
That’s just not true. Bottles are made from 4 different plastics that all have to be separated for recycling (bottle, label, cap+ribbon, soft part inside the cap to make a waterproof seal). The ribbon part the cap is attached to is also present in bottles where the cap is not attached and it has to be removed anyway. So nothing really changed there except the part that has to be removed is bigger now.
Despite what right wing nuts that have to be against every progress say, there is literally no downside to this law.
But the biggest improvement is from nature cleanup crews that previously always found the bottles but never the caps.
