    I think a small speaker should announce, in the local language, "recording in progress" when these are used.

    I've seen them in many novelty gift or travel shops in Europe. https://www.rimemo.com/e/wap/show.php?classid=5&id=29

    It's very presumptive of you to assume the USA is the only source. The site credits many more European sources than American.

    Scrapers will ignore the dumps. You can link to them in 10 million HTTP 429 responses, they will still ignore them.

    The app is owned by a consortium of Swedish banks, so you are using a bank app to approve the credit card / bank transaction. At least in my experience, I only needed to authentica…

    It's in addition to the existing security. My username doesn't fit in the web form. Instead of seeing "Symbiote" (which can be read and remembered immediately) someone sees "Sym-06…

    I don't own a car myself, but there are public EV charging points opposite my apartment in Denmark, and some in the (small) private underground parking garage. I have rented the pa…

    Since this is just salted, fermented fish, which the scientist in the article claims he would like to taste, why does it need to be buried in plastic? Why not slowly pour it into a…

    I've cycled to Copenhagen Airport. A friend who lives about 15 minutes away (by bike) presumably cycles there when she flies for short meetings with just a backpack.
