Probably, but that doesn't sell $650 phones

You usually can turn it off I think. One of my colleagues' greeting states that you should _not_ leave a message, followed by 2 minutes of silence, to put off all but the most committed.

What GDPR says about this is:

> [A]n identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

I think the principle is that since an IP address could be used to identify you, it is considered personal data.

Reasonable. Come back in a year I guess, see if it's better. Firefox on Linux is night and day from the last time I used it

The overriding principle is normally about driving to the conditions, not achieving a "target" speed.

What?

Ah see, that's the opposite of what I'd want, personally at least.

The whole point imo of blocking cookies for privacy reasons is so that things like that can't track me around the web - explicitly visited or not.

Does that mean same-domain? That basically meets the EU requirement for most tracking systems I think (where they're third party that is).

"Accept the session cookie but not the Google Analytics one."

What we should've done is made browser vendors add EU cookie consent instead of every. single. website.

Then I can configure my browser for Always/Never/Ask or whatever.

That would've been too simple, of course.

Plus, you still have to support plaintext between the EMV chip and the reader. This opens an entirely new class of places to steal card details (like PINs)

One reason for this is that it's at the discretion of the issuing bank whether or not to accept an expired card (in fact, you can get into trouble for handling this locally with some processors).

I believe it's a convenience thing for the end user, when issuing a new card - offer a couple of days "grace" - and arguably there isn't much risk associated with this practice: lost/stolen cards are always cancelled immediately.

> I'm not really sure how measurements are done in big buildings (maybe someone could explain?).

Similar to klodolph - it's very common in the UK for each dwelling in a shared building to have its own supply, termination point and meter for both electricity and gas.

> Some of them do.

It's true, but they often manage to make a huge mess of it (note: entirely baseless remark based on my personal experience).

More importantly, most of them don't, and that sucks. I'm not sure why they don't, but I suspect that this is not the silver bullet?

Etihad are still advertising it on their flights. The entire airport is a bit of a disaster to be honest.

It 100% is, you're probably not going mad.

It seems like that'll come, but that it'll cause some issues with some WSGI implementations.

Yeah, good point. I couldn't recall if it was third-party cookies, or if it were tracking cookies that the requirement stated.

Or maybe they want to persist session information?

Maybe browsers should prompt, instead of each website, but it's too late for that now.

The Debian installer gets this right: it prompts you during the install whether it can collect information about installed packages for popcon[1]

Another commenter suggested it should be something your browser prompts you for, similar to location or camera access. This seems to solve the poster's issue, whilst keeping within the spec (I assume?)

You're right though, websites shouldn't abuse autoplay.

That's not easier at all. Not for the moderately-technical small-business owner that the parent comment discusses, or indeed many other (mostly shared hosting) scenarios?

Aren't relays usually lightly spring-loaded/tend towards the NC position irrespective of which way you mount them? Maybe railway signalling relays are different, but none of the relays I've ever seen leave that behaviour to gravity.

> What if he's scored as a threat and reported to the FBI?

Then he'll be referred to a human, who may or may not understand sarcasm, jokes, or hyperbole?

The only real downsites are if you use screen/minicom/etc inside tmux you tend to mash Ctrl-a quite a lot, but if anything that's easier than keeping track of which key goes with which level?

Nothing shocking or groundbreaking, but an interesting read. Thanks!

What about it? That's a different URI.

Agreed. As somebody with different biases than the BBC, I often find it to be quite biased indeed.

They haven't actually confirmed this.

> mostly likely become archived, not removed

That sounds very easy to backtrack on or interpret in some unintuitive way.

Very common in "rural" UK, where rural means 5 miles away from a city. You'd expect to pay £20-25 per month for the privilege (although note that this includes a "line rental" charge paid to the layer 1 provider - BT - of approx £15 per month)

Don't think Chrome is a dependency. Firefox has u2f support now (possibly through an extension?)
