Goes to: www.google.com Oh look I ended up at www.google.de Interesting. If the internet wasn't local why did I just end up on a customised server providing customised content based on my location?
I wonder what Google's rivals will have to say about Google's business practices. Why waste the time even sending out the survey.
I know right? What kind of an investigation actually asks all the people involved rather than just taking one side at face value. These Europeans don't know the first thing about how to do regulation. They should learn from America and just do whatever the lobbyists tell them.
That depends on just how much effort a bunch of low wage labourers would go to in order to game the system. They have increased the complexity of this by an order of magnitude compared to handing someone else their card.
And why is that relevant? These systems don't use a police report of a fingerprint. They aren't the ultra expensive biometrics used at the US border for matching police datasets. They are a shitty little sensor that spits out some math and then ticks a box.
The data that could come out? An equivalent of a password which only applies on said device? Doesn't seem like much of a problem. The OTHER data that could come out is the standard Kronos timekeeping data that any timekeeping system would use and needs to be protected.
I have a better question: Who gives a crap about a few workers at a sawmill? Low paid labourers aren't exactly high profile targets for biometric identity theft even assuming there is something worth stealing.
It was far worse. You're right. Coal only took a bit of the gap. Gas did quite a lot, but Oil... They doubled the amount of oil they were burning. Oh man do I wish they were burning coal instead.
Multiple supercharges per day over the course of its life. First battery replaced under warranty when it was ONLY 6% degraded. But the warranty says at 200000 miles it should be less than 5% The second battery, replaced under warranty due to a battery fault at 324044 miles.
If you can get to that mileage without spending a metric shit-ton on maintenance to say nothing of getting stuff replaced under warranty then you must be the world's greatest bullshit artist. And that's before we consider testing if your ICE car is capable of being within 5% of it's original mileage after it has that many miles on it.
Hondas are good, just avoid the Renaults sold as Japanese cars (Nissans). They're just as bad as the Fiats sold as Chryslers.
A comment brought to you from the 80s. Honestly right now you'd be insane to take many German or Japanese cars over Renault.... Fiats are still a piece of shit though, and Toyotas will forever be the untouchable kings.
Not really. He's just making a point about a company banning another. To be clear his point will fall on deaf ears for the reason you listed, but it's not stupid. If anything it's a good narrative on how the actions of a company are always filtered through a lens of social acceptance.

Was taking a manual ledger along with people's details from their drivers licenses. We had an invoice sent to us a day later.
Fees to have a card to access your funds and keep it active? Fees to add money? Seriously? I find new ways to be disappointed about the USA on a daily basis.
Just strikes me as a horrible thought process, and show how everyone these days is trying to make every fucking thing about RACE.
I see the problem even more fundamental than that. How do you have barriers in your society that prevent 6% of your population owning a bank account? How is it that someone doesn't have a bank account or bank card simply because they are "poor".
On a regular basis, when the "updates" and "patches" are pushed out, we invariably have people whose drivers have been replaced by these supposedly universal drivers.
I call bullshit given that this form of driver only works on a brand new Windows 10 1809 release which few people are running, and Intel's driver was the first such driver released and has been out for less than a day.
Why? What in the summary makes it sound like you actually *want* these drivers? I envisage a 1.5GB download full of useless crap to do some basic thing.
Plus you just know it's going to be forced down your throat with a Windows Update anyway.
Base on what? Is it based on your presumption that since it doesn't happen to you, it must be false?
Are you struggling to follow the conversation? Whether it happens to me or not has nothing to do with your reply just now. In fact I told you the service is executed for a specific reason but you seem to have ignored that, written it off as non-vital (presumably from your very intimate knowledge of Windows's inner workings)
Which directly answered your question about why I don't like processes running in the background that launch themselves.
It does nothing of the sort. What you did is called setting up a Strawman Argument. You attempt to distract and legitimise your argument to talking about something completely different. Or do you have a CVE pointing to critical bugs in Microsoft's Store / Licensing system?
You are asserting that I don't know what Store does. I know what the Store does.
If you did, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.
Red Herring. With Linux there is more assurance that all processes have a function and that it should be running especially if you installed all the software manually.
Not at all. I installed no such software. But it's running. Who provide assurance to the function? Some paid programmer.
And by managing a system, you don't monitor what is running on your Windows system? That is a silly way not to manage a system.
Of course I do, maybe you should actually read my post to the end rather than typing pointless replies. You could have saved yourself an entire paragraph.
Explain to me why a headphone needs to install a certificate
No I won't spoon feed you. The fact that you think this is a headphone that needs to install a certificate simply shows you have taken not the slightest bit of interest in the topic at hand. You don't even know the product, it's purpose, how to manage it, or it's target market, yet somehow you feel qualified to speak about it from your position of immense ignorance.
Educate yourself and then maybe we can continue this discussion. Because right now it's as pointless as me telling you that you paid too much for your house and you should refinance (I don't even know if you have a house, but hey since knowledge of a topic seems to be irrelevant in this thread there you go, call your bank now)

EU nation state bureaucrats can only create new ways to police, spy, tax, regulate and fine.
Without an army to direct at others or your own people, this is actually *ALL* that governments are capable of doing.

DOB - wtf
Legal requirement in many countries.
Drivers license number, Passport number - really !
Legal requirement in MOST countries.
If there isn't a legal requirement then they help themselves to keep their database standard.
This is a problem entirely of their own making and they should be held accountable.
The breach is a problem of their own making. The fact that they had to collect this information is not.
And they need all this years after the customer has left?
Where do you get this from? The 2014 figure is how far back the breach may have been occurring, not how much it stores.
Based on what shows up in the app, I can see only the past 24 months worth.
it even has to import coal for the interim mothballed power plants.
Worse. They more than doubled the amount of oil they were burning to keep the lights on.
It was far worse. You're right. Coal only took a bit of the gap. Gas did quite a lot, but Oil... They doubled the amount of oil they were burning.
Oh man do I wish they were burning coal instead.
And it's on it's 3rd battery, after only 3 years.
Yes it was, let's look into it shall we:
Multiple supercharges per day over the course of its life.
First battery replaced under warranty when it was ONLY 6% degraded. But the warranty says at 200000 miles it should be less than 5%
The second battery, replaced under warranty due to a battery fault at 324044 miles.

And nothing of value was lost.
Are you kidding? PORN!
I wish one day someone would have the balls to block special interest groups.
Or maybe you've noticed that the free coffee invariably sucks and/or the machine's out of order half the time.
That's just redundant. The GP already said shit companies.
That VP is making YouPorn look pretty stupid.

A coffee-shop is not a creditor. Your own government weighs in on this issue: https://www.federalreserve.gov...
Mind you you could simply click on the link to "creditor" in your own reference to see that too.

Fees to have a card to access your funds and keep it active? Fees to add money? Seriously? I find new ways to be disappointed about the USA on a daily basis.
Which is why you will typically find a person that runs the register while other people handle the food. It's a good answer to your observation.
No it's why you *ideally* find that. "Typically" you'll find that you wouldn't want to be buying food during an influenza outbreak.
Just strikes me as a horrible thought process, and show how everyone these days is trying to make every fucking thing about RACE.
I see the problem even more fundamental than that. How do you have barriers in your society that prevent 6% of your population owning a bank account? How is it that someone doesn't have a bank account or bank card simply because they are "poor".
