Here, you lost something: \

Suddenly? It’s been labeled Chinese spyware since day one.

Same situation here in Germany, where companies are worried about attracting skilled foreign workers while right-wing extremist parties are gaining more and more votes.

Not use a hosting provider that charges by the amount of traffic?

This appears to be an extreme edge case but overall there is nothing preventing you from waking up to such a huge bill if your site turns into the most popular page on the internet over night.

There is an incredibly, yet none zero chance that all genes passed by one parent may be recessive, while all the other parent’s expressive genes are all dominant and passed on. Theoretically then your scenario is possible.

I’ve never bothered with them, but aren’t there already? Additional stuff for your personal avatar?

Not sure what you are talking about. I did not edit any of my comments in this thread.

Well, if you want to dive into the history I’d argue “the Arabian nations shot first”.

Still, summing up the last ~80 years of Israeli history doesn’t amount to a genocide comparable to the Nazis. Again: Israel did commit atrocities, but not on the same level as the Third Reich.

No, it does not. As I said, I think the current events including the ongoing situation in the westbank and other fits the definition of a genocide. But it is thankfully still not the industrial-sized killing complex that was the Holocaust.

Well, the comparison is quite bad. Unlike the Jewish people, Hamas did shoot first. However, Israels actions firmly cross into Genocide territory. So Genocide yes, Nazi Genocide no.

Germany checking in: The chancellors wife at the time having ties to the copper industry doesn’t help either.

I strongly disagree. That’s like using MD5 and saying ‘It’s OK, we use SHA256 down the line’. Information encrypted with it might as well be in plain text.

Forget about biometrics, they are way too insecure.

Our cameras have reached a stage where we can replicate fingerprints from photos. ‘What you are’ is useless when we leave part of us everywhere. And furthermore, in parts of the world, authorities can force you to unlock your device with biometrics but not with passwords.

I thought I lived in a pretty backwards part of Germany but your corner must be extremely off the grid!

To just name one example in Germany: Verification via robo call in WhatsApp.

“There is no other matter relating to his resignation that needs to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company”

Because when it detects support for encryption or that you are talking to someone using DeltaChat as well, it switches automatically to encrypted conversations.

“New therapy”? Soldiers have been drugged for ages, before and after combat.

Mostly software based tech. Israel is leading in the field of “legal” spyware for example.

Is the QR Code applied professionally to the surface, possibly behind some security feature such as glass or another surface finish? Is the menu on the table in the general style of the restaurant, or does it look off or entirely different? Is the QR code applied on top of something else, possible another QR code?

Don’t use apps which directly open QR codes. Any sensible app will tell what the information is before processing it.

And at last, the simplest and most efficient security measure of all: Commonsense. Don’t scan everything you come across. Restaurant menu? Sure. Some random poster out in the woods promising a quick buck, happy time or their like? Hard pass.

So the issue isn’t QR codes, but people being unable to recognize scammers additions to public infrastructure and the websites being scams. Basically, it’s the same principle as scammers sticking an additional device on top of cash machines.

No news here.
