I find it quite surprising that Danish high school students (the article isn't about university) apparently did write digital exams with internet access until now, so basically open book.

The analogy is a bit shaky IMO, as you can certify individual, heavily modified, foreign or even self-built cars in EU member states. For cars, the local certification authority themselves decides what is road-worthy or not, not VW et al. Y

You cannot prove the absence of e.g. a Veracrypt hidden volume or similar, though. Even if you honestly give up your key, you could still be either A) held in contempt of court, if the authorities do not find what they expect for some reaso

Because what is the alternative, with the same level of convenience and support by (online) shops? Genuine question, because I do not know any and would be happy to. Wero is not supported by most shops (yet), Credit / Debit Cards often

The problem in Munich is that everything must go through a single two-track part underneath the city center, which is at absolute capacity. If anything breaks down there (and it does, often, very often), even a small delay in a single train

The "poisoning the data supply" angle seems to be a common motive, similar to tools like nightshade[1] (for actual images and not just garbage data). [1] https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html

Interestingly, the pendulum at least in my friend group starts to kinda swing in the other direction, i.e. non-technical friends start to indirectly ask (me as the tech guy) about blatant piracy for (visual, Spotify is still very much accep

Ah. Thanks! Since the letter only calls it "reconciliation bill", I didn't make the connection. Not an American here, oops. Maybe creating "mega bill bundles" isn't the best idea in general. ^^' I still th

IMO, if you lobby for a thing which does not do harm to other people, you are not the bad guy. If you do, you are. Lobbying itself is not immoral. The oil and gas industry, and the tobacco industry et al., lobbied (and lobby) for things whi

These are ccTLDs, though, ICANN is out of the picture there, they have no authority after delegation. It's the fault of DENIC, the German ccTLD local operator. DENIC is a German entity, they are very much within reach of regulators. (T

IMO "not ideal" is still a euphemism. Even if you do this, often throwing away decades of branding, there is a high chance that Lieferando aka Just Eat Takeaway.com will still not only register a similar domain again, but that it

IMO, Framework fits. It's very repairable, and it's kinda easy to do. Not having to work with clips of any kind is great, it's all screws and magnets. At least the 13" one has the same (or even a bit less) flex and feeli

The US Air Force bombed a local underground fuel storage facility, one of the biggest in Germany at the time, with quite a lot of heavy bombers in April 1945 with mixed success - only three days before finally capturing the facility with th

It is way more democracy and freedom than living in a state with an entity like the Stasi, a mixture between the NSA and the Gestapo, which is used to curb any opposition, at least. It's not perfect, but this alternative is way worse.

Until they need new hardware, for which there will (and can) be no drivers anymore, as Microsoft stops crosssigning them in the Hardware Dev Center after a while for old Windows versions. Microsoft does have the leverage in this case, as

I like the restrain they have: "This points to the possibility that the survey may have been manipulated", yeah, 250k votes from 2 US IPs on a survey of a German-only equivalent to msn.com, may . :D Translation: According to a

It would be interesting to see what AS they're from. If they're US residential[1] (or governmental), it would be more interesting than if they're just US data center. [1] it still could be a hijacked device from a botnet or e

Yes, but many companies change this via GPO. And even then, they remain hidden. They are special, compared to normal extensions. Thus users are unlikely to detect that they're LNK files (in Windows), even with enabled extension.

The thing is that Windows does not show the .lnk Ending, same for .pif (which can just be a normal MZ Windows EXE), even if all other endings are shown. So your bill.pdf.lnk is shown as bill.pdf, while bill.pdf is also shown as bill.pdf. (T

E.g. France24[1], they have all sources linked. Then there are individual governments, like e.g. the Latvians[2], warning that Russia is preparing for a confrontation with NATO. Or the German DoD[3]. Yes, no politician is explictily saying

The US wasn't active part of the war until December 1941, though. For the first years, no boots on the ground were coming. And if Germany didn't declare war against the US, which they weren't forced to do by the tripartite pa

If France had hold out until 1943, with the Wehrmacht only making a few hundred yards progress per day, it would have been a massive success, don't you agree? Without western help, Ukraine would have had no chance in hell to survive th

I don't like the idea of telling people (even smugly at worst, if it's used the way LMGTFY was, and as the tagline[1] implies) to just ask ChatGPT instead of humans . LMGTFY returned human results that weren't SEO rubbish at

Mh. Is a comparison with OpenSSL or Snort really valid? OpenSSL implements crypto primitives, which, as far as we currently know, are mathematically safe. It's clear cut, black and white, it either is implemented correctly and (as far

I have no idea about the intricacies of US law, but reading the actual proposed bill[1], it seems incredibly broad. Like, "this may make publishing linear algebra papers on faster matrix operations illegal"-broad, as it includes
