GDPR is for commercial products, not government mandated ID.

There is zero chance it would be implemented in a way that would protect privacy.

Right, because guns weren’t used to settle disputes in America until very recent history. /s

Yeah, this is 100% self-preservation. The article says they are in favor of age verification but want it done at the device level which is a much larger threat to privacy.

Right? If it’s in drinking water, why wouldn’t it also be in beer?

They’re just saving face. If Trump wanted Musk around, he would stick around. Whether that’s in DOGE or some other part of government.

After all the laws Trump has broken, you think that’s the line he won’t cross?

Yes, but temporary fixes are the most permanent.

Looks like the thread is handling most of the force, and the glue is just keeping it in place.

There are several ways. There could be a vulnerability in one of the underlying algorithms, in the crypto system, or in the implementation.

I’m not saying signal isn’t secure, but encryption can absolutely be hacked.

Was it sold as pure NaCl? Probably not…

I think you misinterpreted the tone of my posts, they weren’t meant to be spiteful or imply that you’re advocating for anything bad. I was just trying to point out that sometimes it’s easier to avoid conflict, even if you feel your actions are justified.

I know how credit bureaus work. How often are you doing this that you’re able to find the forms, fill them out, and submit them all within seconds? Not to mention logging in to your accounts…

Even if you’re doing this all the time, it will still take longer than resetting the AC unit before you leave. I don’t know why some people seem to seek out conflicts…

OK, but my point was that the hotel will have washed their hands of your debt by the time it’s at a collections agency. How much time does it take you to dispute a collection note on your credit report? I’d guess it takes less time to take the AC unit out of service mode before you check out.

and see if they really want to waste their time with collections

It would be the collections agency who’s time would be spent in court, not the hotel’s. And collection agencies are in the business of collecting debt, so I don’t think they would see it as a waste of time.

Based on its name, I have to assume the EU Data Act only applies in the EU. So this will still be an issue for anyone who doesn’t live in the EU.

They’re saying it helps badly roasted/brewed coffee, not that it’s the proper way to make coffee.

Have you seen what he posts on Twitter?

Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.

That’s not a gap, you were working for the startup. Even if the company never put a product on the market, you were still working. Doesn’t matter if your didn’t even form an LLC. You should put it on your resume and proudly describe the work your did and challenges you faced when anyone asks about it.
