Don't forget Stuxnet which crossed the airgap via infecting USB Devices.

WTF? Thanks for the notice.

From what I've seen, Austria also does this pretty well, with everything being on xyz.gov.at. The problem I see for germany is that the principle of subsidiarity is taken very seriously here. Everything is decided at the lowest sensible level of government. Consequently, there are many very tiny local authorities that have to manage things independently and lack IT admins.

Well there is no nobel price in economics[1] so probably a nobel peace price for ending trade wars.

As a european I again find it crazy what kinds of insecure stuff the banking industry in the US does. Chip+PIN arrived long after they did here, SMS Tan is still a thing while EU Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) forbid this in 2018, 7 years ago. Many transactions are still authenticated via signatures on paper cheques, you can use your credit card without a second factor (also regulated by PSD2). I just can't understand why they continue doing this, when I'd assume fixing this would cost less than what fraud must be costing them today.

This works very well here. Just visit the website of thing you want canceled, scroll to the footer, click vertrag kündigen and you get a form to cancel, I have done it a few times now and it's 1000x better than searching in some customer portal or even worse calling. Good for the US.

Yes. The court voided privacy shield in a ruling known as Schrems-II. The commission then created the Data Privacy Framework which is esentially the same as privacy shield against the will of the parliament, re-enabling transatlantic data transfer.

As always with laws this is very location specific. In germany there is a very clear clause about patents not applying to "Actions carried out in the private sphere for non-commercial purposes" (§11 PatG, own translation)

OT but I didn't realise until now the Hunsrück was a real place... I always assumed it was invented for Werwölfe von Düsterwald!

A general strike has a lot of power. Which is why they are banned in many countries.

This is not true in germany where FritzBoxes are most prevalent.

I don't think it will. Discovery in Archives has been a problem forever and with more content made today than ever before it is becoming ever more difficult.

I don't know where you live or what experiences you've made but I just had a look into my municipalities online appointment system and there are 5 slots free to book just for tommorow.

I actually agree with your argument, but what does any of this have to do with who owns the means of production? Because that's everything socialism is about.

Shortest translation that comes to my mind would be: "Ich fordre dich zum Trunk." Which IMO translates the original sentence pretty well. You could add a "heraus" at the end but as a native I would not say that it is necessary. Also the Word "Trunk" sounds a bit antiquated but Duden still lists it, therefore I'd say it's fair game.

After doing a bit of dig-ing (haha) it seems like quad9 sees the site as malicious... Sent a false positive report to them and the upstream info provider.

N26 is also infamous for being the go-to-bank for cybercriminals. That may be because they are easier to fool than your local bank branch where most financial stuff happens in Germany, but my impression is, that they don't care...

Not OP, but I use xkill semi regularly (like 1-2 times a week) to check whether an app is running in xwayland or natively...

The Idea of the swiss guard standing behind some teenagers using their smartphones to photograph old books sounds hilarious...

Wait, you are situated in Flensburg but not shipping to EU? That seems rather interesting... Do you also manufacture in germany or have you sourced that out?

ESA isn't even an EU Institution, the EU has its own space agency called EUSPA[1]

If your institution hasn't got protocols for this, and you got sensitive documents and your laptop, it's their problem. For the one goverment issued laptop I worked with in my life (a german SINA type system which was qualified up to the german VS-NfD (the lowest goverment security standard equal to US restricted)) getting it into a secure state was as simple as removing a smartcard

You don't have to. You can self report and if you incorrectly report it is a crime. As simple as that. This is also exactly how the definition of very large online platforms (which is a site from 45+million montly active Users) in the EUs new Digital Services Act works [1]. Some companies (primarily porn) are believed to have misreported, and are being investigated for that[2]. If they are found guilty they will have to adhere to the regulation for vlops, and pay a fine of up to 6% of their annual EU revenue... (Obviously not the full sum for a first time offence) [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Online_Platform [2]https://www.politico.eu/article/online-porn-websites-europe-...

Wait... Does the US not have speed cameras?

There are (according to the BMI[1] (German interior ministry)) only two reason to have multiple passports: The first being the one you stated and the second being multiple (visa requiring) travels in a short enough timeframe so that your passports would have to be lying at the foreign countries embassies/consulates at the same time.

Seems like motivation enforcement is quite strict, as they do state that you can't even get two passports for the "enemy visa" reason when the visits are just planned, but you can't prove it yet (palne tickets etc.) you won't get it, and you'll have to go to the German embassy after you can prove it...
