So he for sure is not a "solid dev" by his own standards.

I didn't expect so much honesty, I would have expected "We and only we are the greatest and best".
In US, you wouldn't expect any privacy if you are in a public area. You can take pictures/video and you most likely are being filmed yourself by security cameras.
I like this rule (edit: first amendment right) because it's really easy to understand for everyone, you dont need a blog post to describe the nuances of it.
In Germany, even the use of dashcams is legally controversial. In Bavaria, passing on video footage recorded with a dashcam to the police or insurance company could result in a fine.
My steam account is pretty old, too. 2003 (Got the 20 years of service badge lol)

The product they market, the “credit report”, costs €30 and, according to them, is “forgery-proof” and “up to date” (lolz).
I don't know the main differences to the free "data copy" - probably just a report with this specially invented key figure and a bit nicely prepared.
All in all, SCHUFA has a very unsympathetic image here in Germany, I think rightfully so. Nobody wants to have anything to do with them voluntarily.
He has been working in specialist civil engineering for many years and builds tunnels all over the world. He has told me many exciting and hard-to-believe stories about tunnel construction and tunnel boring machines.
E.g. during the work on the Eurotunnel. Here the British tunnel boring machine was diverted into the rock near half the length of the tunnel and left there. It was cheaper than somehow taking it out again.
Anyways, since my dad is always very stressed due to his job, I am happy to have gained a foothold in IT and not tunnel boring :D
Hopefully the mirrored network mode will help, looking forward!
