Haemm0r··on The World’s Biggest Tire Graveyard in Kuwait Is on Fire
I can't imagine that borders would prevent this kind of dumps.

Haemm0r··on An open letter against Apple's new privacy-invasive client-side content scanning
You can even sync to $nasty_cloud_provider and don't provide the syncthing password. Problem solved!

or Bromite.
Haemm0r··on On Apple’s “Expanded Protections for Children” – A Personal Story
"And how about specially crafted 'normal' pictures sent to individual to trigger the system? Special mind would have a perfect tool to get some one down / put into the troubles."

Exactly this was my first thought. Sad that these days my first thought, if some new "system" to prevent/catch something/one is introduced, is "How could this system be abused to blame somebody?".

Haemm0r··on What I know about cleaning and seasoning cast-iron skillets
ATK?
Haemm0r··on Are locally produced solar modules the future?
If you can't beat the price, you have to innovate constantly (=stay ahead) and sell higher quality to be competitive.

or GrapheneOS
Haemm0r··on China unveils 600 kph maglev train
I am quite sceptical about the whole thing. The train is finished and the track is not. The track seems to be hard part of the system. Chinese managed to copy the German maglev trains, however they seem to have problems with the track technology.

Ever since the Shanghai maglev was built, every two to four years Chinese maglev projects hit the media big.

Changsha maglev is all that they could get to work so far.

Haemm0r··on Concrete: The material that's 'too vast to imagine'
Carrying strucuture is mainly reinforced steel(classic pillar + concrete floor/ceilings design), walls are usually bricks.
Haemm0r··on What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code?
In Austria you could use https://qr.gv.at to check the qr codes without installing an app. I don't think that it does any further verification than parsing the data.
Haemm0r··on A New Era for Mechanical CAD
Sorry for the typos; was in a hurry before :/
Haemm0r··on A New Era for Mechanical CAD
I work with NX and Teamcenter(central data storage amd PLM software) daily and find the single threading during almost all the design work annoying (except for FE, drawings and maybe a few other things). On the other hand the backwards compatibility is exceptional, opening 20 year old models exactly as they are and rendering the drawings exactly as 20y ago is quite useful (using the renderer of the version it was created with, sometimes with the ols bugs too ;) ). Expanding NX with custom features and custom scripts is quite easy (plugs into MS VS). Afaik as i know you could use C, C++, C.net, python or even Vjsual Basic to access/modify the data.
Haemm0r··on Europe is now a corporate also-ran. Can it recover its footing?
I'd prefer Dolce Vita over 16h/day anytime! :-)
Haemm0r··on DOJ seizes $2.3M in cryptocurrency paid to the ransomware extortionists Darkside
Maybe this is just a result of good old police work: https://xkcd.com/538/
Haemm0r··on Hackers breached Colonial Pipeline using compromised password
How do you handle Cisco Webex with SSO+MF and video conferencing systems/rooms? For regular useres SSO+MF is no prob, however the rooms users are.
Haemm0r··on The lab-leak theory: inside the fight to uncover Covid-19’s origins
Instead of "Indian variant/mutation" papers now use "Delta variant, which originated in India" which hardly makes a difference in my eyes.
Haemm0r··on Chinese ‘Artificial Sun’ experimental fusion reactor sets world record
No, articles are usually not aggressive towards another country; light criticism could be found here and there, but not focused on the US.

The articles are e.g. about China becoming a leader in this/that economy sector. Focus topics seem to be (as far as I remember, been there in 2019 last):

- Progress and positive effects of the Belt and Road initiative - Massive infrastructure projects in mainland China - railway - Fighting pollution - stories about new regulations, violations and their prosecution - Fighting corruption - stories about prosecution of corruption - Aspiring economy sectors in China - domestic airplane development - Joint ventures with technology leaders - like research centers - Cooperation with other countries - Messages of the CCP and the president himself - perfected message control

Haemm0r··on Chinese ‘Artificial Sun’ experimental fusion reactor sets world record
I always enjoy reading the GT newspaper about the great Chinese achievements when boarding a China mainland flight. ;-)
Haemm0r··on EU set to unveil plans for bloc-wide digital wallet for various services
Same for Austria: It is called "Bürgerkarte" and is a requirement for some government services, e.g. accessing health records and medication online, electronic signing of petitions,...) Currently there is a mobile app and the possibity to use the smart card with a reader. [1]

According to [2] the Austria eID is already valid EU-wide.

Haemm0r··on Sign a PDF document client-side with no data leaving the computer
For me the title was misleading: Reading the title I tought that the article was about digitally signing documents (with your keys not your signature) :D
Haemm0r··on After years of conflict and instability, Iraq is opening up to tourism
e.g. direct flight VIE-EBL(mainly due Austrian to involvement in the oil business in the region) or Istanbul-EBL is served regularly.
Haemm0r··on U.S. moves to double Canadian lumber tariffs
Currently those tariffs have a big impact on the markets in Germany, Austria and others in Europe too. According to the media the US is buying wood at large [e.g. 1] in combo with local companies trying to stock up prices for wooden build home increased 20-30% in the region. If you talk to local carpenters (Austria) lead times are a roulette game and prices change daily.

The post-covid effect may complicate things furthermore.

Haemm0r··on Portable versions of development tools
for clarification, as you know for sure, but others maybe don't: ... and keeping all the settings on the USB drive too.

//edit: typo

Haemm0r··on Robot paramedic carries out CPR in ambulance in UK
In Austria these units are part of the paramedics equipment for years. They are especially convenient while moving the patient on the strecher (no kneeling anymore :) )
Haemm0r··on Vulnerability allows cross-browser tracking in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Tor
always show the popup, but populate it "later" could work too.

Don't forget to cut the HDMI Cable too :)
Haemm0r··on Current RNA vaccines protect against worrying coronavirus variants
Is that true for astra zeneca vs. south african variant?
Haemm0r··on Pandora says laboratory-made diamonds are forever
"Does anyone, other than geologists of course, really care about the back-story of the diamond, how it was created and how it was mined?" Yes of course. Everybody can buy a ring with a diamond, but if they sell you a story with it you can tell, it is even better :)
Haemm0r··on Thoughts on a “HDD shortage” from an industry insider
Our IT guy told us, that (about 10pcs) the Dell machines he ordered (T5810 or something similar) a couple of weeks ago will ship in July earliest(although the online shops states better delivery times). So there could be some shortage too or at least logistical problems...
