Isn't this what's happening a bit everywhere...?

It's not necessarily true. The current president of garante of privacy was chosen in 2020, while the current government has been running for less than a year.

And the irony is that most people in the country complain about other people breaking the law. When they themselves do it, it's because the government is s** or "it's just the system...".

Absolutely not. GDPR is applicable any time you process data from someone located in EU (it doesn't matter where the server is located).

There is "new" and "new from another country, and we don't want that s*it here until we know what it is". This is not the reason why companies don't invest in Italy.

I don't see the connection with the government on this one. Garante della privacy is an independent office, and there were very simple motivators behind this choice: - illegal or improper use of personal data - nothing to protect chi

Don't worry this is just another European trait: complain about everything, the neighbor's grass is greener etc., etc. I am European, and I just proved it by complaining about complainers :)

> The good thing about it is that you give them a chance to comply and ease your concerns. If they fail to do so, you then you can ban them for actually failing to do something instead of being Chinese or making you nervous or something.

This case is a bit different. GDPR did a lot, true. However, there are deals between EU and US that make the data exchange possible - under certain circumstances, there is not so much you can do, even if you check all the boxes in the &quot

Whatsapp is owned by an American company, who cares... thanks to the CLOUD act US can do whatever they want. Here the message is very clear (about tiktok, I mean) - you have no power at all over them. Or very limited. Plus, who knows what t

99% of the time: Mac. From time to time: iPhone, iPad, android phone, android tablets, windows. I hear from colleagues having Linux that the OS might indeed be an issue sometimes, they have to restart the system, etc.

What's the issue with zoom? I think it's one of the best software I have on my machine. It never ever stopped working since I have it installed, not even in meetings/webinars with 1000+ people. And the integration with Slack

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that the T in CTO could literally be anything. It's just a coincidence that it happens to lead the technical organization. It could literally be anyone with some master degree in management

I am tired of the articles because they are like 90% redundant. Plus, on a different note, I fear this mega hype will eventually reach those that decide in a company, and most of them in my experience do not possess proper technical knowled

I really believe that most people don't notice, unless you specifically need the "extreme" speeds that some microSD manufacturer offer. I think the user journey is sort of like: - oh let me search for a portable SSD drive wit

I just searched for the prices of 256GB SD cards and they're about 20$. At this point I guess they put 128 or even 64 gb SD cards, otherwise it makes no sense...

by mk89 4y ago
They put microSD cards into boxes and sell them as SSD drives :) Thanks to OS abstractions and all, 90% of people will never notice, or once they do, they remember that too cheap is most of the time scam :)

Any sources on stolen goods? That's the first time I hear it, it's quite nasty honestly. Bad stuff, scam, I can even tolerate, as I can send back, but stolen goods no way - how do I know it's stolen? I also learnt over the ye

No, and I think that TOTP is sufficient for 99% of cases, but hey that hardware key really makes the difference between a geek and someone else :) plus, there seems to be a recession going on, get out and throw another 2*40 $ to yubico now!

I heard about this for the first time 7 years ago. An ex colleague couldn't enter the office - the badge simply didn't work anymore. Imagine how freaking embarrassing: you try to enter, nope. Then you ask a colleague to open for y

Yesterday I stumbled upon this: https://news.stanford.edu/2022/12/05/explains-recent-tech-la... Interesting read if you're recently reading about a lot of "layoffs".

Fair question. I know in my company they didn't and from what i have seen in other comapnies they didn't do it either (Ok I don't work at a FAANG.)

by mk89 4y ago
Agreed 100% with this. Plus many took advantage of this "chaos" to get rid of products they don't want to do anymore - my company did the same. It had very little to do with the global recession etc.

I know but in general when you admit something like that, people also do expect like some preventive actions for the future. All I can say is that companies for so long despised people changing jobs frequently as a lack of loyalty, etc. Th

After so long, I decided to think of it differently: it's a learning company. You can eventually fix the problem you're responsible for by chopping off a part of it, convince people you can do better, and then move on. (Don't

I totally agree with you. They are diversifying their laptop/desktop solutions like crazy. Even a Macbook Air can almost compete with the entry-level version of the Macbook Pro, which is great to be honest. I heard they are exceptional
