I live in Munich. Couldn't find numbers for the metro area, but I found numbers for Bavaria. It seems that Google's electricity usage has grown to the point where it uses more than half as much energy as the Bavarian car-using com

Focus on a single metric instead of outcome and you win on that metric instead of the outcome. I remember that for, uh, Key Quarterly Objectives, was that the name? Aeons ago. Same shit new decade. (I love working with AI though. It has man

1000m² with one window wall: do you think that's an open-plan office or an apartment? And you can't really split it into ten, an apartment with e.g. 5m of windows and 20m depth doesn't work.

Enshittification is neither invariant nor universal — Rolls Royce has built cars for a hundred years and the new models still aren't Ladas or supermarket shopping carts. Claude is a paid service, not one of those freebies where you are

It's complicated… in a sense the bulletproof solutions are the ones that raise the cost of executing the attack above the average take. In another sense even they aren't bulletproof. This particular attack requires getting users t

Are you in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore or Thailand? Those were the four worst-affected countries IIRC. Although I seen to remember Ecuador or Bolivia as well? (They do something about other scams too. There was another thing they published

I see. I looked at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.faircode.em... and saw nothing. I can see why your address is shown if you offer something for sale. Ads, that puzzles me.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. The attack in question doesn't use apps on the store, or even any attempt to get them on the store. There are also other attacks, but the one that prompted this change uses social enginee

Of course Google generally tries to squeeze profits out of… whatever it does, but eh, by closing something? Google is the company that makes a million in profit from the openness of the web in the time it takes me to write this paragraph, w

I think they care now because of pressure from the governments of the countries involved. And perhaps because ten and twenty years ago, the sums stolen were small. Now they're in the billions.

This started with phishing, poor people being tricked to install apps that then drained their bank accounts. So to resist, maybe focus on that evil? Better international cooperation, better prosecution?

How? I don't see the address published. They can sue you and Google will give your address to the court, clearly. But swat? Send packages? How?

I know Graphene has innovative security measures, do you happen to know whether that includes anything wrt. phishing or social engineering? (For those who haven't been following along: this whole affair started with phishing. People we

That building doesn't have the kind of outdoor unit you're thinking of, it has central climate control and gadgetry on the roof. You can see it on Google Maps. Also 19 satellite antennae, if my count is right.

Smallish container ships are used a lot. Look at traffic from the big ports like Rotterdam to small ports like Orkanger or Kristiansand. A lot of containers take a small-ship trip after the big-ship one.

"There must be thousands" is just despair. But since you mention something concrete, those 26 domains, I had a look. 26 is not a lot, easy for a human to scan. I included a few more (.ad for Andorra, .al for Albania, ..., .sm for
