The Google Play Store has long been the bastion for safe and worry-free app downloads

It’s nice that the article starts with this blatent lie, so that you know everything that follows is just regurgitating Google’s marketing.

Even ignoring that most of the apps in the play store are unreviewed proprietary spyware sending all their data back to Google, there have been many instances of obvious malware being distributed through the play store. It seems like they are trying to sweep that under the rug.

The most common physical attacks will be you misplacing your device or some friend/burglar/cop taking it. FDE works great in those scenarios.

You can’t just compare the file sizes without looking at the quality. Each will have different quality loss depending on the exact encodings used.

What is “southern Ireland”? Do you mean Ireland?

“Gen Z simply uses technology more than any other generation and is therefore more likely to be scammed via that technology.”

It seems like this order is rather limited and the IA can continue almost all of their work.

Unit tests or integration tests?

If you turn the fan up high enough it will blow the heat from outside into the house. Trust me, I’m a scientists.

GDPR enforcement is left to the member states. The EDPB isn’t an agency, its more like all the national data protection authorities in a trench coat.

Some national authorities allow it, most don’t. The final word will be from the CJEU or the EDPB.

It’s not. Image hosting sites have existed for decades. Websites are not liable unless they have actual knowledge of illegal content and ignore takedown requests. Stop fearmongering.

Good. Hopefully this will discourage people from using Clownflare’s DNS.

In case you don’t know, Cloudflare already controls a massive amount of websites, have access to their unencrypted traffic and are making the web inaccessible for people who use tor or noscript. They are a threat to the open web.

Communication network providers in the EU generally aren’t liable for illegal activity of their users.

While it’s stupid that ISPs are using their monopolies to screw consumers, the concept of data caps is not as stupid as you might think.

You’re not just paying for the connection between you and the ISP, but also all the other data links that get your internet traffic to its destination. For example, those cables across the ocean are owned third parties and they charge money for every byte that goes through. It wouldn’t be unreasonable for ISPs to pass that cost to users.

Furthermore, most links are overprovisioned in order to keep costs down. For example, if you assume that users only use 10% of their bandwidth on average, that means you can fit 10x as many people on a connection (or maybe 8x to account for peaks). This does mean that users should be discouraged from using their full bandwidth for long durations, otherwise the network operators can’t overprovision as much and have to invest more in infrastructure.

For the last time: these language models are just regurgitating what people have said. They don’t analyze or reason.

The real question is do you encrypt-and-sign or sign-and-encrypt?
