How do you secure the database on my device?
From a compliance POV it's not enough. For example: "<NAME PERSON ONE> is president of the United States" is still identifiable even though the name has been redacted.

Since you can't be 100% certain that a filter redacts all personal data, you'd have to make sure that you have measures in place which allow OpenAI to legally process personal data on your behalf. Otherwise you'd technically have a data breach (from a GDPR pov).

And if OpenAI can legally process personal data on your behalf, why bother filtering if processing with filtering is also compliant?

I wasn't aware that this VM was created. If this was communicated in the marketing I probably would've started using cowork sooner.
Well, sort of. They sued because they believed Macromedia infringed on their patents. That's something else than merely visual similarity.
It's the same in the Netherlands.

There is European legislation since 2024 that allows 'digital' notaries (Directive 2019/1151). Not many notaries support it though.

> According to the EU law if you don’t click accept it’s equivalent to denying.

The result is the same. Technically there's no such thing as denying, only providing (explicit) consent. If consent is required and no consent is provided, then there is no ground for processing.

Electronic invoicing makes the live of the receiver easier. The sender has to adapt the standard.

Besides, many standards have been created over the past 20 years, yet most invoices are still only sent as PDF.

My bad, totally missed the link in the text post. I clicked on 'watch video' on the Poly website

I'd rather see a demo instead of a highly edited video with split second shots of the product.
Hmm that does indeed seem to be the case.
Anyone else stuck on 'setting up your account'?

I was always told NOT to study right before the test because it hinder retrieval of long term memory.

Show HN: Pablo, Use Nano Banana in Photoshop

We built Pablo, a Photoshop plugin that lets you use Nano Banana (aka Gemini Flash 2.5 image) directly inside PhotoshopThere’s been a lot of chatter online that, because of AI, “Photoshop is dead.” We disagree. It's true that AI editing makes photo editing more accessible, however, we believe these tools are most powerful when used by professionals inside professional workflows. Pablo is our...

Litigation is not just 'file and forget'. Deno, or any other organisation, needs to contribute in time and effort for several years. In my opinion, "media attention / clout" is a fair compensation.
Not entirely true. If I'm incorporated in country A and want to offer a service in country B, I'll have to comply with the local regulations. Furthermore, most VPNs have local presence in the EU as well. NordVPN is incorporated in Panama, but also has an entity in The Netherlands.
What's stopping lawmakers to require VPN providers to verify the age of their users?
Re:Show HN: I built a daily sunlight tracker on Monday June 30, 2025 @09:43AM (#44423182)
I should've been more specific. The study you link states that 'To prevent vitamin D deficiency, one should spend 15 to 20 minutes daily in the sunshine with 40% of the skin surface exposed.'. The screenshot on lume health shows a goal of 120 minutes.

Moreover, sun exposure is not by definition 'healthy'. Spending two hours in the sun at noon in the middle of summer does more harm than good.

>how most people aren’t getting enough

What are you basing this on? What counts as 'enough'? And how are you tracking light exposure?

Calm down. He's a software engineer with an account on X, not a software engineer working on X.
Why do you only get a data processing agreement when on the enterprise plan? It's a legal requirement for any European company.
