Looks similar to the FL Studio built in ZGameEditor Visualizer. Of course the advantage here is that you can use it independent from a DAW.

I’ve been a happy mailbox.org user for 4-5 years now and they’re cheap. Take a look at they’re features, primarily being that they’re hosted in Germany.

Checkout Severance on Apple TV if you have the possibility but that’s pretty much the story behind the series.

I recommend checking out "Stop reading the news" by Rolf Dobelli.

Forgot about the video and didn’t realize it’s the same person. Also reminded me of this 2016 incident that happened in an ING data center https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37337868.amp

Good! Phineas Fisher will be pleased ;)

Yep, you’re spot on with this. Even with a geo-wall AWS or Microsoft are still US based companies that have to comply with a FISA order. I work for a SaaS and we’re continuously questioned by our customers about this but we can’t do much as everything we have is architected around one particular US based cloud provider. We tried HYOK/BYOK/EU entity, so both security and legal controls which are insufficient today.

Tutanota and Mailbox.org are 2 good alternatives.

I’m not sure about Google however last time I checked Apple had both encryption at rest and E2EE.

As of October 6th, 2020, the vast majority of these findings have been fixed and credited.

3 months as I think they added the extra month as part of the responsible disclosure and remediation phase.

Interestingly my ordered book from bookdepository.com also says 350 pages. Could there be 2 versions of the book?

Your comment resonated with this quote:

It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from among such individuals that all human failures spring.

Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People

Leon Theremin was a genius that also created one of the first electronic instruments carrying his name now.

I had a very similar experience with Apollo.io. Somehow my professional data (business email, personal phone number, name, job title and my LinkedIn network and connections) ended up on this website without my consent. I’m assuming it was collected from several sources such as LinkedIn (Even though I had my privacy settings tight) and some conferences I attended in the past year. Either way I contacted them and they sent me a document to confirm my identity and then proceeded to remove my data from their website after I sent it back. I was a bit shocked as it’s basically asking to confirm my identity and give them more information about me when I haven’t even granted them permission in the first place. Such “data brokers” need to be regulated. The most annoying thing is that they only remove data under GDPR, CCPA if I am a resident of California, UK or EEA. Well what if I’m from a country that doesn’t fall under one of those 2 regulations?

+1 for Rolf Dobelli’s book. Read it last year and while I can’t say it changed my life, it definitely improved it.

A book that opened my eyes is Stop Reading the News: A Manifesto for a Happier, Calmer and Wiser Life by Rolf Dobelli.

I agree with your second paragraph and I’m definitely one of those that like to tinker with old hardware. I successfully installed Ubuntu on my Mac without too much fuss however Apple devices and MacBooks especially are already laptops that just work. I’m not a fanboy myself but the amount of time I spend configuring a Linux/Windows PC as compared to a Mac is almost always double.

This reminded me of “The Office” episode when Michael screams “I declare bankruptcy”. This is not how this works, Disney...

Came here to say this. Great channel and explanation of the Y2K.

Romania recently held presidential elections. Officially all the candidates spent 690.000 euro for online ads. Other countries such as Greece spent ~1 million euro. This article in Romanian details more https://romania.europalibera.org/amp/30285024.html

Not hiring but I just wanted to say that I liked your CV/website. There is no exit. Welcome to the Hotel California. :)

Do you mean the loupe magnifier? I wouldn’t consider it an emoji.

I recently brought back to life a PC that a friend was about to throw away. It has an Intel i7 3820 CPU and running latest Ubuntu. Here are my results from Geekbench 5.0.2 Tryout for Linux x86 (64-bit) before and after the "mitigations=off":

mitigations on score: 865 Single-Core Score 2624 Multi-Core Score

mitigations off score: 912 Single-Core Score 3995 Multi-Core Score

I think you’re right on topic with this. They don’t inspire much trust to me now that I had a look into this. Apparently it’s one person that graduated at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), at least according to their LinkedIn profile, however when I look at the page it seems that the entire SUTD endorses the project.

Wouldn’t that be an extension of their territory rather?

I own a 2014 Mazda 3, brilliant car. The touchscreen firmware is a pain to update every year while servicing it. When I bought the car it came it the GPS hardware pre-installed however I was supposed to buy the maps separately for about $500. I didn't see the point in this as for that money I could have bought a new iPhone at that time and have various navigation apps. I also praise Mazda for the decision. In the 5 years since I own the car I probably actually used the touchscreen 20 times as usually I change songs or radio channels from the steering wheel button. Buy a Mazda, you won't regret it :)

OMG I had so much fun with SWiSH. Haven't thought about it for a few years now ... brings back some nice memories :)
