You can also set up a camera in front of your monitor and just record the whole thing. DRM has never been functional. Best it can do, is deflect the average user from just quickly sending it to his friend. But anyone with any motivation can

I've heard of a company very much looking to get AR going for CAD work. And well, it is coming sooner or later. If as a browser, you aren't ready when they actually do, you might see an entire industry standardizing away from you.

I mean, they would have noticed when a test actually runs into a problem, but yeah, it's not nearly as visible as something actually going wrong in production.

Not just terrifying, it could also lead to significant problems. Depending on the job, but always to some degree, you'll have to do things that your coworkers won't like, but is actually good for the company, probably also good fo

Well, tell me what the big risk or concern of a Google employee sitting down and actually reading your e-mail is? Them indexing it, correlating it with all that other data they already have on you, storing and actively working with this dat

If a court rules that something you're doing violates the law, then that also means that you actually have to stop doing it. Not stopping with it would be a felony. So, you can't just continuously pay fines whenever a court rules

I would also strongly recommend not using Gmail. Google sifts through your e-mails, which compromises a cornerstone of your digital identity. People needing to send you an e-mail will also seldomly appreciate their e-mail being read by Goog

I'd be surprised, if it hasn't yet had an impact. As you say, there's been a lot of losses for Facebook recently. I think, we're now up to 4 rulings of Facebook's data use being illegal in the past two weeks. People

Maybe 0 A.D. can fill that in for you. It's sort of in between AoE 1 and 2, with a bit of Empire Earth mixed in as well. It was the go-to for people looking for a more modern AoE, prior to AoE:DE being released, and many people still c

In that case, your customer is the "controller" and you're the "data processor". The whole GDPR is written with such B2B relationships in mind. Chapter 4 is specifically all about that. Article 28 specifies the situ

These sort of cases will be decided on by a judge. You'll at the very least have to make your decisions sound reasonable. But yeah, these loopholes do exist nonetheless. The GDPR has been reported on as the most lobbied law in the hist

I can't imagine that there would be such a writeup. Even just trying to understand the security framework of one browser is a gargantuan task. As for Chrome being a real issue, some points off the top of my head: - Its extension store

If you cannot transfer skills that you've learned in LO Writer to MS Word, then I don't think you've successfully learnt anything. And really, they live in a place where nobody uses either software.

It's in my opinion just a straight upgrade from KeePassX. Not a significant upgrade, but switching is probably not going to require significant effort either.

Well, there is a point to be made, especially for Android, how poor the quality of the average app is and how they can often even be malicious. As a user, I for example much prefer the harsh controls that Linux distributions have in place.

No, they won't. There's people who don't even know that there's something else than GMail. They can't do one click and be at a competitor's site, if they don't know about it. And it doesn't help that
