I can totally relate. The quality of Japanese-made products is incredible and that's as true today as it was back then, for the most part. Especially woodworking tools like chisels and saws are outstanding. And I don't just mean the expensive, handmade ones. Even the mass-produced tools feel years ahead of their Western counterparts.

This should have been a "Show HN" as OP is also the creator of the game.

Next step is to sue the satellite companies for spying and request that they blur your property in the source images before selling them to Google and others.

You are free to manage your local trust store yourself. Either remove the CAs that look fishy to you or, conversely, start with a blank one and add only the ones you personally trust.

That is likely the case. Microsoft is shoving Copilot down everyones throat, whether they want it or not. The sales argument is always: "Why pay for another license if it's already included in O365?" Plus the fact that some data protection contract is already negotiated to be able to use O365 for email.

In the end, if employees are dissatisfied with Copilot, blocking Anthropic and OpenAI will just make people switch to their personal devices and use those services on their smartphones if necessary.

At first I was like: Nice, they ban AI because its all US based vendors and using them for government related data is not a good idea.

But then the story goes on and say MS Copilot is an approved AI... Sad thing to read.

True, but at least with GLS, you can run their app even on rooted Android phones (with Magisks DenyList configured) and use the app's built-in NFC payment functionality. This is super nice, as Google Wallets NFC payments don't work on rooted phones.

I don't know what the situation is like on GrapheneOS, though, as I run LineageOS.

I'm a happy GLS Bank customer, and I've just learned about its involvement in Taler. Pretty awesome.

Europe desperately needs its own digital payment solutions to reduce its dependence on US companies and its exposure to sanctions that could target EU citizens if the president has a bad day.

GLS is also on board with Wero, which, unfortunately, hasn't seen big adoption yet.

I really hope Taler takes off.

Agreed, it's not necessarily Danfoss's fault. The customer bought the appliance and is free to do whatever they want with it, that's what ownership is about and I fully support this. But in a situation like this, who bears responsibility? The customer whose appliance is exposed to the internet, likely having been installed by an authorized technician in the first place, or Danfoss, whose now-insecure maintenance interface listens on 0.0.0.0? I don't have an answer.

As others have pointed out, this interface is intended for use by service personnel.

My point is simply that situations like this can be prevented in several ways: on the customers side, if they have a capable IT department, or on the vendors side, by designing with the expectation that some customers will inevitably expose devices to the internet, regardless of what the manuals and training materials say.

Cyprus and Deloitte, why am I not surprised to see those names mentioned together in connection with alleged tax evasion?

For those who don't know, Cyprus is widely regarded as one of Europe's tax havens. And, of cause, Deloitte has offices there.
