    Seems like uninformed bull. Your recording is protected by the usual copyright. It may not be used without permission except as permitted by law. If the law is being violated, sue …

    Well, even the antibody titre isn't foolproof (some people do not react or have their immune system later wiped). However having no antibody titre is pretty good sign you never had…

    It will be challenged in the Tribunal if it passes, and will lose as it is incompatible with baseline EU laws. Specifically, the charter: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/char_…

    If you haven't started doing the thing while researching it, you're doing archeology or historiography, not research. (Different scientific fields. Research requires experiment.)

    It's called documentation. Somehow people forget to include a non-external service dependent version with their code these days. Probably because "nobody is paid for doing that".

    Yeah sure. The tricky part is if you even know which action to take. To actually do that you need to research enough, conceptualize the end goal and envison a rough but workable pl…

    It's even more legally funny than this. They are also allowed to enact entrapment to some degree and it passed court muster in the US. That because it's extremely hard to use it as…

    How can you even sue without any legal identity? This website and an organisation does not happen to have any. Might as well be some shell company in the Carribeans with no legal s…

    The store owner visibly responds to the customers differently. Fingerprinting is invisible. It's more like the store owner recording everyone on hidden camera. So no, you cannot st…

    It's not even that. Only a kernel of the LLM is trained using RLHF. The rest is self-trained from corpus with a few test questions added into the mix. Because it still cannot reaso…

    Still waiting for someone to make a tiny token sized phone. Unfortunately the smallest around, Unihertz Atom, is both outdated and too low resolution for some apps to work.

    Now that is more of a problem than a bank. Which is why someone beeds to integrate OTP tokens into ID cards, closing the issue.

    Uh, banks still provide separate tokens and one time pad cards last I've heard. If yours doesn't, pick one that does.

    Warrant canary depends on agreed upon inaction, which shields it somewhat. You cannot exactly compel speech by a gag order. This, being an active process, if found out, is violatin…

    TPM itself is a simple data container with slow encryption/decryption capabilities. It cannot hide anything really. You might have mistaken it for say Intel ME and the AMD equivale…

    No, these should exist in the TPM and highly volatile memory like CPU cache. This including the decryption code. This can be achieved using mechanisms similar to what Coreboot does…

    Don't worry, you're going to be searching for logic vs requirements mismatches instead if the thing provides proofs. That means, you have to understand if it is even proving the pr…

    Thing is, because the whole design is closed as well as firmware, the security of it is near zero, even for sealing firmware device images (e.g. option ROM), much less bootloaders.…

    Yeah right. Because building a freezer that goes to -30 C is as cheap as going to -18 C. It's much beefier hardware with a lot more insulation. Likewise a heat pump can only boost …

    You can do the basic continuous blood pressure monitoring. Not super precise but should work for categorizing.
