That law would override any such disclaimer by the seller (or other kind of "commercial producer") of OSS software. What is "critical" is determined by the catalogue of critical software categories.

That isn't an audit. Audits are not about actually doing anything about security. Audits are about having documented procedure and properties and reviewing documentation. The typical software you need to google in the context of an aud

Usually only the original producer of each component has to do the certification and apply the CE stamp. Any conglomerate doesn't need to reevaluate all the components themselves, only their interactions in the conglomerate. So for you

Any kind of commercial gain can be considered "profit". 10ct/month from an ad banner is considered a commercial activity in Germany and courts treat it as such, with consequences like Impressumspflicht (need to publish person

You are definitely expecting something that the camera makers' market segmentation does not provide. If you need clean HDMI, you can buy a camera that has it, but I estimate only a quarter of currently available DSLRs do.

Unfortunately most cameras do not provide "clean" HDMI output. That is, the HDMI output contains camera UI symbols like focus points, battery state, lighting, etc. Configuration options to disable those UI symbols are generally no

"Ur" is a German prefix meaning "old", "original", "predecessor". So Ur-Lisp would be the old original Lisp that is predecessor to all other Lisps. Other examples include Urrind (Rind == Bovine) which

Shorting tether can simply be a hedge against falling tether if you are holding large amounts. Doing that with stocks is completely normal and nothing to raise an eyebrow about.

As I'm forced to use an Apple computer for work from time to time (fortunately rarely), I do not understand how anyone can claim for Apple to have any standards. Especially when it comes to "design". Fonts look blurry and was

One part of "not boring" is picking one that fits your taste and the style of the site you are using it on. So there cannot be one canonical recommendation. Google fonts is full of usable stuff. Just have the courage to pick somet

Substituting Arial by Helvetica is the ultimate expression of pointless counterproductive font snobbery. If you really want to do the world some good, substitute by something that a) isn't boring and overused b) isn't almost indis

Right, exactly. And non-grounded Schuko Sockets are forbidden, at least in Germany (Europlug sockets are allowed if they only accept Europlugs, see the ones on the left side here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Eur

The socket in your example is Type F, Schuko. Those are only available in recessed form, any flat variants are strictly verboten, nonconforming, etc. It is actually another problem of the original article: It doesn't show and distingui

I think this is just a simple ad-/clickfarming page without any actually useful content. The content that is there is also wrong and misleading.

The original article is somewhat wrong or at least misleading regarding the compatibility of Type F (Schuko, German) plugs with Type E (French) sockets: "Type [...] F plugs will also fit in type E sockets". Actually, they won'

The problem with the building block approach is that it usually compromises any supposed security advantages Wireguard may have. You get a supersecure bank safe where the key is handed to you in the baker's shop opposite if you ask nic

While not totally awesome, OpenVPN is miles beyond Wireguard when it comes to credential management. There are several auth plugins, you can use "the usual stuff" like PAM, and through that LDAP/Kerberos, ActiveDirectory, RAD

I've worked for a government entity in Germany where this was regulated as follows. I think most of the private companies do it similarly as a baseline and are more generous as an optional perk: When you are doing "real" work

> I always saw tech as the field where a disproportionally large amount of people truly love what they do. You do confuse "loving what they do" with "being at the office" and "socializing during slack time".

Thats why the day doesn't end at the instant of 23:59:59, nor does it end at 23:59:60 (if there is a leap second). It actually ends at 24:00:00. Which is the same instant in time as 00:00:00 of the following day. Every conforming imple
