I guess you probably could, but any fines or such would not be paid out to you personally. Enforcement is primarily the responsibility of national data protection authorities (DPAs) in each EU member state.

Good on them for walking the walk. But I genuinely believe you could, with that equipment, get the same footage with a 10-year-old dslr-camera and its stock lens for just a few hundred bucks.
Re:Using Goatse to Stop App Theft on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @02:13PM (#37919203)
I did a similar thing almost 20 years ago. The Swedish National Pensioners' Organisation was hotlinking an image from my server. I can't really remember exactly what it was, but it was something harmless, like a picture of a cat. Teenage me thought it was super fun to change this image to something more explicit.
I can make voluntary decision to not use lousy tax prep companies.
Re:Microsoft announces Lists, a new Airtable-like app on Tuesday May 19, 2020 @02:36PM (#23238396)
It's just something with lots of Microsoft's latest software that annoys me. They all feel behind, laggy and lacking features in comparison to their competitor.

Slack > Teams

Trello > Planner

PowerBi > Tableau, Looker, Mode

And by the quick looks of it:

Airtable > Lists

At the same time I'm looking at that $136 billion cash pile. Oh well, at least they acquired Github...

I've setup a Telegram channel with only myself in it. Works great a cross all my devices.
I wouldn't use the word likely. It might be because of who your target group is etc and I therefore have another experience. But yes, it does happen. The way it works is that Google allow themself to spend up to 2x your daily budget. If they exceed your daily x2, you'll be credited any overcharged amount.

Eg. Your daily budget is $200 and they spend $420, you’ll get a $20 credit.

Then there is the monthly limit, which is your daily budget x 30.4. Also here you'll be credited any amount they exceed.

Oh yes, those baby clicks on YouTube. Annyoing as hell. Stay away from broad affinity / in-market groups or you'll end up spending 20%-40% of your budget on channels for toddlers.

By time though you'll build up a nice list that you can exclude, but it's going to cost you in the start.

Re:Media Websites Battle Faltering Ad Revenue and Traffic on Monday April 18, 2016 @04:17AM (#11518413)
Could anyone explain, what's a "new dollar" in this context? Is it those $8.500 from company X that have increased their budget from $100.000 to $110.000?
Re:Tor NoScript visit tracker on Monday March 07, 2016 @06:19PM (#11242503)
AdBlockers will still block iframes and already does. Those I've seen blocks the full request based on a list of known domains. Many 3rd-party tracking cookies is often placed with help of iframes or a img-pixel.

With Google Analytics you have the option to actually do all the tracking server-side so AdBlockers shouldn't be an issue tracking-wise.

I would say most of Google's products that eventually reach the bigger mass are black swans. Best way to reproduce them? Add a lot of stress, tens of thousands of engineers is quite lot stress.
Re:Visual Turing Test on Saturday February 06, 2016 @11:37PM (#11051629)
Got 10/10. I think though if I would have only be looking at one picture at time and were to say yes or no. My score would have been much lower. Quite often in the computer-generated ones it looks like someone have gone nuts with the smudge tool in photoshop.
Re:Ask HN: What are you currently building? on Sunday January 03, 2016 @04:05PM (#10832386)
A Raspberry Pi/Toggl button-board - where each button represent a client. Press it and time starts tracking in Toggl.
Re:You cannot start a tweet with “D. Tusk” on Monday July 13, 2015 @05:45PM (#9881361)
That is because Tusk isn't following you on twitter. D. followed by username and then a message sends the tweet as a direct message to that user.
It's funny how many sites have that "I agree"-option. Because they still put 15 cookies on my computer before I even agree to it.

This... I would gladly take the time to setup a filter that forwards all the receipts to the site.

Re:Peter Sunde arrested in Sweden on Saturday May 31, 2014 @05:18PM (#7827309)
He probably can. 5 years with living wage and he would be debt free. If he has filled for bankruptcy before (which I don't know) he might be denied the chance again.

Re:Google SEO Starter Guide [pdf] on Wednesday November 06, 2013 @03:47PM (#6685401)
This seems out of date: "Google AdWords provides a handy Keyword Tool".

You'll end up on a page explaining Keyword Planner has replaced Keyword Tool. To access the tool I must sign in to my AdWords account.
