The author of the article should probably read the articles they're riffing on past the abstract and engage with social sciences in good faith. Linking a 40 year old article does not inspire confidence either.

Also that NCRI study is a joke.

This is pretty normal? I work for a company that develops lab machines and we have a bunch of designs we have to follow:

ISO 12100 (Safety of Machinery): Sets general, fundamental principles for design, risk assessment, and reduction (Type A standard).

ISO 13849-1 (Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems): Defines performance levels and categories for safety-related components (Type B standard).

ISO 13850 Safety of machinery – Emergency stop function – Principles for design

And that's just some of them.

netcup is fine unless you have to deal with their support, which is nonexistent. Never had any uptime issues in the two years I've been using them, but friends had issues. Somewhat hit or miss I suppose.

Used to use Hexchat and swapped to halloy more than a year ago and couldn't be happier. The development is coming along nicely and a lot of modern features got added since I've been using it. It's a joy to use in conjunction with soju and my irc experience hasn't been this smooth in a long time.

Yea, I read an article on here a few years ago (which I can't seem to find anymore), that a lot more cars in the US crash into buildings compared to the EU and the main takeaway point was that it is probably because of the long and straight roads in the US, since you go faster and aren't as focused.

> For example, the Act permits law enforcement to use certain systems that collect biometrics in public places if those systems help perform a “targeted search” for, say, an abduction victim, or to help prevent a “specific, substantial, and imminent” threat to life. This exemption requires authorization from the appropriate governing body, and the Act stresses that law enforcement can’t make a decision that “produces an adverse legal effect” on a person solely based on these systems’ outputs.

yes

Interesting, I hadn't heard about that. But this knowledge is obscure by design I suppose.

WV L1 Keys/ PR SL 3000 keys require breaking into the TEE to steal those decryption keys.

Ever wondered why netflix 4k web-dls take a while for less popular shows?

Netfliy monitors these more tightly apparently and blacklist keys that are used to download. Then the group needs to buy some new device, the old one is burned.

This is somewhat relevant for DRM. All those downloads from netflix/prime/disney plus depend on breaking into a TEE and retrieving decryption keys.

I have a similar experience as a german on the internet.

Aliexpress (straight up wrong translations), Discord (anglicism, adjective ordering and weird sentence/tone structures) and plenty of others I don't remember, the list is pretty long. Size doesn't really seem play an effect aswell.

Another big issue are potential bugs you encounter. If you just get a translated error message without any error number or something similar it's a very frustrating experience to troubleshoot it. I've spend quite some time retranslating error messages to solve issues. Add to it that often knowledge bases are outdated in the translated languages.
