Before tossing GDPR onto the bonfire, perhaps the EU should first look at DORA.

Jeff, you left out the juiciest part of the story, which is that the Bosch Home Connect iPhone app hoovers up your Search History data. Anyone know how much that data is worth? I made the same mistake of buying the 500 and it's just so ridiculous that I need to reveal my most intimate Google moments to a dishwasher in order to use its advanced features which I won't. When I was building Internet technology in the 1990s and optimistic about the future, never in my fiercest nightmares could I have predicted that this is how normies would use it and that it'd be considered normal. What kind of monster do you have to be to use home appliances as leverage to spy on people? There seriously needs to be a different planet for people like us.

There's a bit of a mix-up here. The “Search History Data – Not Linked with You” label you see on the App Store refers only to the searches you perform within the Home Connect app—not your full Google search history. Given that iOS apps run in a sandboxed environment, there's no way for the app to access your Google account. It’s a standard practice among smart home devices to enhance functionality, not to spy on your entire digital life.

This is a stupid article. 1. It starts with “Millions of Americans”. How does this relate in any way to Americans? 2. Gmail is not the problem 3. Consider registering a domain for 10 years. When the startup fails, delete all dns entries

I agree. Additionally, the authors haven’t considered data deletion policies. Most SaaS providers delete data within 30 to 90 days after contract termination. It’s unlikely that data from 100,000 failed startups, each using 20 to 30 SaaS applications, still exists.

Funny enough, ‘Cariad’ translates to ‘hell chariot’ in Romanian—a name that feels oddly fitting given this fiasco.

It would appear the air intake is on the bottom like the Mac Studio.

As someone who lives in a very dusty 150 year old house, My Mac Studio does not appreciate the air input being directly on the desk. It collects all the dust that lands anywhere near it.

I have a large levoit air filter running 24/7 in my office and still end up with this[1] regularly. I wish I could at least reasonably take the thing apart to clean it out.

Many people are eager to plug in their air purifiers and get started, but they often miss the fine print about checking inside the unit. Leaving the plastic bag on the filter basically turns the purifier into a fan, without any actual filtering. I saw someone post that they ran theirs like that for months before realizing it—no air getting filtered the whole time! Your dust photo reminded me, so just wanted to mention it in case you hadn’t checked for the bag inside.

perch56 commented on FlightAware Leaks Customer Data (Name, Email Addresses and Passwords)   loyaltylobby.com/2024/08/... · Posted by u/croemer
perch56 · a year ago
The author of the article seems to be confused about the GDPR notification requirements. In the event of a personal data breach, the controller is required to notify the supervisory authority without undue delay, and where feasible, no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach—not the users themselves. However, when it comes to informing end users, the GDPR requires that they be notified without undue delay if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms. It’s mind-boggling that FlightAware took three weeks to inform users, which raises concerns about their handling of the situation. It’s also suspicious that they haven’t clarified whether they are aware if the exposed data was actually copied by bad actors—one should assume it was.

perch56 commented on How actors remember their lines   thereader.mitpress.mit.ed... · Posted by u/pepys
forgot-im-old · a year ago
As an aspiring actor in 1990, mastering the art of memorizing lines accurately has been a journey of both discipline and discovery. Initially, I struggled with the sheer volume of text, often feeling overwhelmed by the task. However, I soon realized that understanding the context and emotional underpinnings of my character was crucial. I began by breaking down the script into manageable sections, focusing on the motivations and relationships within each scene. I still felt repetition was my ally; I would recite lines repeatedly, both silently and aloud, until they felt second nature. Additionally, I found that visualizing the scenes and physically moving while rehearsing helped to cement the dialogue in my memory. Techniques like recording my lines and listening to them during commutes or integrating them into daily activities proved invaluable. Collaborating with fellow actors also enhanced my retention, as it allowed me to react organically and authentically during practice sessions. Over time, these methods coalesced into a robust strategy, enabling me to deliver my lines with confidence and precision, fully embodying the characters I portray.
