Yes, this legislation either seems to have been written by people who just want overly broad powers they'll use in a technically sound way, or by people who have no understanding of computer forensics. The way it's written makes i

The way the law is worded (see my other comment), the police can force you to do whatever is necessary to unlock the device by any means at your disposal, not just disclose your password. While this would be technically a terrible idea o

This appears to actually go significantly beyond enforced password disclosure. From the text ( http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/Gen_Scheme_of_AGS_(Powers)_Bil... ), on Head 16 (p 28): - An officer can use these requ

That would be great. A few months ago in our (biophysics-ish) lab, I set up Grafana and InfluxDB to display output from some of our equipment during experiments as a bit of a gimmick, since I had just figured out how to extract real-time d

Laws around recording typically also cover cases where an outside person, who isn't a party in the conversation, is recording. The idea is that there are three possibilities: all parties in the conversation consent to recording, one o

I think an important caveat is that, at least in American academia, your advisor should not have the same role as a supervisor, depending on the field and research arrangements. As a PhD student, you are expected to have care and motivatio

That depends on use. For working on or reading papers, it's great: I've significantly cut down on the number of drafts and papers I print, as the screen's ppi is high enough that figures will appear at a similar resolution t

Part of the issue here is that many IoT products use web services as part of functions that don't need them at all. The cynic within me suggests that this is an intentional choice to allow for enforced obsolescence. Beyond this, apps

Uber Black, at least for me, is not a good option because it usually (seemingly every time in LA) results in getting a giant SUV. These are not comfortable, and are not discreet, by comparison to good sedans.
