Thank you for the correction!
In addition to the non-cookie fingerprinting mentioned by others that can happen, there is a loophole in the GDPR cookie control legislation that allows "legitimate interest" cookies to continue to be placed and tracked…
I have somehow never gotten around to throwing away the box of ancient floppies I've got in a closet from ages ago, and the Windows 95b (OSR2) installation disks I made were still in it, complete with custom color…
Why can't somewhere.com have the public key for user@somewhere.com and serve it to other e-mail providers on request? Letting one's provider hold onto the private key doesn't provide the same level of security as the…
I am a layperson, so the answer is probably painfully obvious, but why can't e-mail have TLS-style key exchange, where the sender's server gets the public key from the recipient's server and encrypts the message with it…
"Targeted" for me would imply that Windows is checking first to see whether Firefox is installed, and only showing the suggestion if so. If this is just a general suggestion that gets pushed out to all Windows…

To replace punch-in/punch-out machines or sign-in/sign-out sheets, perhaps.
Agreed. Distributing actual EA assets and using EA-owned branding (and artwork?) seems to be the problem. Simply running alternate servers, distributing patches to the game, and using their launcher without copyrighted…
I like the idea on some level, but could consciousness be separated from biological motivations like pleasure and pain? That feels more like the idea of universe-as-computer than in the examples of conscious, living…
Thanks. I like GDPR anyway. Makes me think God Damn Privacy Rules, and we're increasingly lacking in effective ones.
Of course, acknowledging and appreciating differences differs greatly from enforcing differences.
It sounds like you would be better served with a Bluetooth proximity-based device like a Gatekeeper. http://www.gkchain.com/gatekeeper.html I haven't looked into the OTP functionality of it, since I decided to go with a…
Exactly! How on Earth could you prove an offending image wasn't yours?
