Yeah, I agree with everything you said. It would be interesting to know whether the big companies have addressed (at least partially) their GDPR compliance. Maybe they do just "play Russian roulette" like you said, and hope for th

Not every company needs a DPO though, e.g. check here: https://www.eugdpr.org/key-changes.html Maybe his company doesn't need one. Of course, whether he has a DPO or not, still the question remains of how to "prop

I'm sorry, but your comment about Yugoslavia is extremely simplistic, if not outright wrong. While ethnic tensions certainly played a large role, the causes for the war were numerous, and also include outside influences (end of Cold Wa

Hi, I'm involved with GDPR for my work, although in academic context, i.e. the primary motive in processing of personal data is in security, provisioning services, accounting purposes, etc. Also, I'm not a lawyer, and this is just

There was an interesting discussion about 4A implications between Orin Kerr (who thinks, that according to 3rd party doctrine, there was no need for a warrant, and therefore no 4A protections of cell-cite data) and Alex Abdo (of ACLU, who a

Last time this story was here, I posted this link [1], from law prof. Orin Kerr. I find his reasoning about "foregone conclusion" and Fifth Amendment pretty interesting. [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news&#x2F

I find this reasoning by prof. Orin Kerr pretty interesting, in respect to whether always collecting the full URLs of users (by IPS) is actually legal. His argument is that it might not be legally OK to do so, and that there already are res

That is correct, user will have access to the data, e.g. the images/videos user uploaded to Facebook, and I presume the Facebook will have to delete (successfully) these data upon request. However, personal data are not just images, or

For my work, I'm working on the impact of the GDPR on the research, and how will the GDPR work in scientific communities. I'm not a lawyer, of course, so my interpretation might be a bit off (so disclaimer, IANAL, this is not a le

Professor Orin Kerr has wrote about this exact case extensively, and provides a good insight into all legal aspects. I think it is well worth a read, especially the part about the 'forgone conclusion'. https://www.washi

Well, you can generate TOTP codes on your laptop, using oathtool, if someone has a "dumb" phone. One of the downsides is then you need to have your laptop always with you...

It seems a bit counterintuitive that open hardware results in less choice, so I disagree. I think that hardware is getting more and more open, also drivers for it. With FPGAs it is (relatively) straightforward for one to create it's ow

Yes, there is oathtool that you can use on Linux (well, that's how it's called in Debian). I use the same, just type: oathtool --totp -b "key value" where your "key value" is your secret (same thing you would g

Just a small addition, the analysis was done by prof. Orin Kerr[1], who is writing for "Volokh Conspiracy". He writes a lot about the intersection of technology and 4th/5th amendment, etc. I don't agree with everything w

I do have a follow up question to this. If the ransomware encrypt the files, then it would also need to delete the original files. Unless the original files are overwritten, wouldn't it be possible to recover them? If the files are ind

That well may be (regarding the power management), but while SPI as standard is old, the use of SPI is not standard. I've implemented quite a few SPIs (mostly FPGA) to interface with various commercial devices and virtually all of the
