What is this about "4 streaming providers"? All you have to do is switch VPN provider most likely.
If you are already using a VPN to access american Netflix, this announcement isn't really going to hurt you as you probably know how to circumvent it rather quickly after it's active anyway.
If you aren't using VPN, this doesn't affect you at all.
Replying to myself, after discovering some key information:
From TFA: "The ruling also said that, from now onwards, companies should also explain and notify employees if they monitor and log all their Internet activities, and they should also get consent from the employee in writing."
So they can't do it without consent, which was my initial concern.
I agree with you on a fundamental level, but then include it in the work contract. "Your activity on company equipment MAY be logged and recorded....".
How is it common sense that it's allowed to record and log a private conversation without prior consent? Even call centers have to let you know you are being recorded, why can an employer do it without consent?
Company equipment or not, I don't think it's ok to record my conversation without my consent or knowledge.
If it's in my contract, fine. I signed that and it's now with my consent.
If my employer doesn't want me to use the equipment for private conversations, let me know or fire me. Don't just violate my rights.
Are the swastikas removed in the German version of "Der Untergang"?
As far as I'm aware, it's illegal to display swastikas in entertainment in Germany. Hence why many games have a German version where swastikas are replaced with something else or removed entirely.

I have always thought that for automated vehicles to be a reality, ALL traffic has to be automated. It takes almost an A.I. to be able to adjust to the random nature of human driving.
It's a global issue, people confusing "legality" with "policy". And if you correct them, saying it's not illegal it's just against policy, they usually reply with "you know what I mean smartass" or similar weak retort.
"Yes, I did know what you mean, but did you?" Dumbasses indeed, but it's not centralized to Americans.
Both my Windows 7 at home and my Windows 10 at work does exactly the same. If I unplug a peripheral, and plug it back in in another USB port, Windows recognizes it as a new device and starts installing drivers.
It happens to the best of us. I just found it amusing you didn't trip up until the car part, when I would have tripped at $21,000 in taxes if I thought it was monthly.

I may be missing a joke here, but are you referering to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... or yet another Duke Nukem reboot?
Same reply I made here: http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
Summery: We get 35% of the content the US does on Netflix, and TV Shows are, on average, 2 years behind.
"Region Locks" are the reason.
In my country, we have roughly 35% of the content the US have on Netflix.
Oh, that's just based on titles, I'm not including TV Show seasons.
We're, on average, 2 years behind on almost all TV Shows.
But we still pay full price.
That's why.
"The Cleveland Show" was a spin-off from Family Guy, a completely different crew mainly spearheaded by Seth MacFarlane.
Is this confirmed?
Other sources haven't been able to confirm HOW they are going to prevent it.

It's not Netflix doing this, it's the copyright holders.
They're forcing them to do something.
Besides, this will barely have any effect.
It's like blocking torrents by blocking the DNS, easy to circumvent but the decision makers are satisfied.
Ah, thanks for clarifying,
"prior consent" is the key thing here.
And I've already discovered that the ruling included that.
Prior consent is required from now on.
So entire thing is moot.

Alright then :)

"Your activity on company equipment MAY be logged and recorded
Done, bases covered.
I object against the non-consensual part of it.
I would find another job if I found out my employer logged my private conversation without my knowledge.
If you are going to record and log all my activities, include it on my contract.
I'll happily sign it, I understand the reason behind.
But don't do it without my knowledge or consent.
That's a violation of my right, in my opinion.
Are banned books not "domestic content"?
How is it common sense that it's allowed to record and log a private conversation without prior consent?

Don't just violate my rights.
Court or not, this is unacceptable in my opinion.

days/weeks.
Years here for some TV Shows. They are 2-3 years behind seasons.
And in one instance, a shows was taken off Netflix before we even got the last season!
What's the point then?

If you are stapling the reports, please do remember that's my stapler. I would like it back, please.

Education is certainly not free.
We have some of the highest taxes in the world, if not THE highest.
The $21,000 a month in taxes didn't raise a flag?
These numbers are per year, not month.
It's $250 a month for the car.
I knew it'd happen the moment I pressed submit and noticed my typo.
I shall take my punishment in appropiate ridicules.
Yes, that's quantifiable.
