The SIS database is 100% blacklist - people who should be stopped at the border, arrested, reported or followed, objects that should be seized (like stolen cars), objects that prompt for more inquiries (like stolen/lost passports). Sou

For most countries, biometric passport data is only stored inside the passport's chip and not in a (national or otherwise) database. It's to be used by border control (of other countries) to compare the person presenting the passp

Not all person alerts are entry/no entry alerts, so they don't access (or don't react to) a small subset of the person data.

As the data in the SIS is classified, it's not covered by FoIA or GDPR requests.

I would say it's more generic than that. Not all the data is for EU citizens, and not all the data has photos and fingerprints. What dangerface quoted from the euobserver[1] seems to be the best approach, maybe make it shorter... As I

Other countries that are not in the Schengen area do have access to the SIS. Their access rights were given by them signing various agreements (the status is quite complex, you should check the SA status[1] for more details). Yes, the title

Another (small) correction: There aren't hundred of millions persons registered in the SIS. The "hundred of millions" comes from the number of EU citizens. Of course, one person's data leaked is too many, but anyway, tha

There is no visa information in the SIS, you are probably referring to a different system (maybe VIS). Yes, when you apply for visa you will probably be _searched_ in the SIS, but this will happen many times in the EU anyway (or even before

The title is incorrect. The Schengen Information System does not keep data for "all EU citizens", it only keeps such data for wanted persons, missing/stolen identity documents or objects (like cars, boats and so on). There is

About 10 years ago I visited Acapulco, just a few months after it appeared in the lists as one of the most dangerous cities in the world (after a lot of tourists were captured for ransom). The center (with beaches, markets, restaurants) was

We had the same kind of "hidden" router at my previous employer, as we had a team of ~10 developers who needed a lot of different access to different servers and between eachother. We put the name of another tenant in the office b

That's a hidden price (in charging and range) that you have to pay because Tesla did not use proper screens. And it only works when the charge is >20%, so you have to plan ahead if you want to leave the car in the sun at around that

Raspberry Pi limits the input voltage with a Zener diode across the input. In a Zener used this way, the current flow through the diode varies with the voltage difference between the input and the output - so with enough voltage input you c

Wireless charging is not without costs. One of the costs is that coil heating the article talks about is not limited to the charger, the phone coil also heats up. And being usually stuck to the battery, the already stressed battery (by the

And the numberpad is really close to the main keys even when they have lots of space to separate them - or move the numpad to the right. Just because, since Apple, design is more important than actual functionality.

Base clock is meaningless now. HT performance depends on the application (sometimes HT cores mean only a few percents of improvement or performance decrease - it depends on what the "main" core does, as they share resources). The

Strava apps are not perfect; they have a lot of settings in weird places. To sync with an ANT+ or Bluetooth sensor on Android you have to actually start recording an activity, and then press the small "settings" button in that pag

Strava allows you to set places where it should not track (like close to home); not everybody uses that.

Most of the tracks are not recorded by phones, but by (90% Garmin) sport watches, and the users chose to upload the tracks to Strava because of the useful features they add to that track (like comparing your exercise with others'). And
