Different pretense, if a kid is identified as a victim, authorities will be informed since they haven’t reached maturity yet, and the alleged perpetrator is the legal guardian.

If an adult falls victim to sexual abuse, they will not inform any authorities on their behalf but leave it to the person.

That’s Finland. Sweden has been on a decline.

It is where I’m from. Not even nurses have full access to the patient file. Confidentiality exists between doctor and patient exclusively, that’s why I’m so shocked.

Insane. Where I’m from they are not allowed to forward anything. Not even billing information to a third party payment provider without explicit written consent.

You might max out your throughput with popular torrents, else it’s indeed just steam I’m aware of to deliver. And then the question is really whether you download that many games that it actually matters.

Even on my 100 mbit line, downloading 50GB from steam takes me only about 1h. At 350mbit that should be less than 20 min, vs. ~7 min at 1gbps.

Personally I don’t download enough to justify the surcharge, I can easily just let it run through the night, or start in the morning and be done once I’m out of the shower and had my breakfast.

Why on earth is your doctor even allowed to share your personal situation with anyone? Did you consent to that? Else it’s a quite severe violation of your privacy.

I have two expensive suitcases now for that reason. I kept both.

Please just make sure you use a VPN, if your understanding of the technology is so limited.

But the company doesn’t have the money. Stock value means investor valuation, not company funds.

Once a company goes public for the very first time, it’s getting money into its account, but from then on forward, that’s just investors speculating and hoping on a nice return when they sell again.

Of course there should be some correlation between the company’s profitability and the stock price, so ideally they do have quite some money, but in an investment craze like this, the correlation is far from 1:1. So whether they can still afford to build the data centers remains to be seen.

From ugly to useless and ugly. Nice.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

Putin wouldn’t have come if that wasn’t clear from the onset.

Uh… And how would they do that?

It’s not like starlink publishes a list of all their customers, and you can’t simply pick up the signal.

And shooting down satellites in a geospatial orbit? Good luck.

Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.

I haven’t noticed that behavior in years. Usually I wake up in the morning, see the “new update” notification, check if there’s anything I don’t want updated, or else click “update all” and then go to the bathroom. By the time I’m back, everything is done and delivered.

One pin too many, the slot is not wide enough.

I don’t think it was in the article, but I updated to 192.0.2 yesterday and checked the enhanced tracking protection settings, and block cross-site cookies is now in the default profile, so that was my assumption since it wasn’t there previously.

NFC door locks have a sliding panel with a key override. Usually a shit lock that can be opened by any amateur… One of the many reasons I don’t have one.

Not at all. It would maintain functionality at the current status quo, and browsers would still receive updates and keep current with server based technology. If anything required additional components to use new technologies or display novel applications, that would be a hardware based change that won’t be fixed through a system update regardless.

You can still browse the web just fine on a phone from 2010 running Android 2.3 - many applications are now unsupported, but if Google (or Apple, for that matter) were to stop updating the OS, then application developers would stay at the current technology level that make hardware upgrades unnecessary.

Some apps that require google services (I’m sure there’s an equivalent for iOS) might no longer work, but most run just fine regardless.

If security is what you’re getting at, at least for Android, there are excellent third party solutions that keep attackers out even on an end of life device (shoutout to Hypatia).

Wait, a Tesla in its default configuration doesn’t allow self driving?

Yep, and precisely why I refuse to buy anything that requires an internet connection to work. I’m even wary of services that lock me in for longer than maybe 6 months. The only annual subscription I have is for my VPN.

An actual device/machine that I plan to use for years? Hell no. Offline only is a must have.
