Not engineer.

At least here in Germany, engineer is a protected profession. Other than that: All of the above.

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.

7a here. Works like a charm and I was baffled by how easy it was to install.

The reason for using Pixel phones is afaik that Google is one of or the last vendors who allow a complete unlock/relock of the bootloader alongside having a workable security chip with.which most security features are implemented.

The internet is uncharted land for all of us.

Our previous chancellor in 2013. Still is today it seems.

Does it have “WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!” in golden letters somewhere?

Just like my $variables I can be anything I want. Deal with it! 🫳🎤

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.

Speak for yourself.

Well, here’s the important part:

I have never done data forensic

So yeah, I didn’t know that at the time. Anyway: Which tools are you talking about in particular?

A friend asked me to atempt data recovery on some photos which ‘vanished’ off an USB stick.

Plugged it in, checked for potential hidden trash folders, then called it a day. Firstly I havenever done data forensic and secondly: No backup? No mercy.

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

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.

Tell me about it … 🤷

*second to last!

The last spot is reserved for us, Germany.

No backup? No mercy!

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.

Jerboa? The link is malformed for me as well
