Anyone else mailbox getting clogged with last minute privacy policy messages?
|
|
|
|
|
yep..some sh*t about change in EU privacy policy.
|
|
|
|
|
Yep: and it's not surprising how many have left it to the last minute, given it's law today I think...

I find it even more surprising that relatively large websites like the Chigago Times and the Los Angeles Times didn't make the last minute, and instead just disabled their whole website for visitors from the EU. They've had since April 2016 to prepare.

WHOIS left it even later and their last minute attempt won't be accepted (it has lots of holes).

Yes! Almost every site I have account on is doing that. They are all telling me it is simpler to understand now. And as a very good consumer, I am not even looking at it.
Brings to mind, where is CP's we have updated terms email?

The German computer magazine c't is collecting abstruse ones (l+f: Das DSGVO-Absurditätenkabinett | heise Security[^]).
Two so far:
1. Send to an editorial staff account
"Do you want to remain in our database?" send to 497 visible recipients.
First delete replies to this "mailing list" has been already received.
2. From Twitter (unverified, Audiatur et altera pars on Twitter: "#DSGVO ausgehebelt[^] )
10:29 Request mail received
10:30 Thank you for your acceptment mail received
Both mails has not been opened before. Investigation unfolds that the AV software is opening all links within mails (see above twitter link for a JPG with statement text from the marketing software producer).

Tons of app updates for GDPR compliance as well.
Gee... I wonder how much carbon was pumped into the atmosphere indirectly due to this EU directive?

Imagine all the carbon emission savings if companies had respected user privacy without the EU having to make it the law

Supplementary question:
Does anyone at all seriously believe that if you do NOT return a confirmation that they can continue collecting personal information about you, then they will immediately STOP doing so?
Haha. If caught, they will tell that "We haven't received the confirmation yet, but we expect it any day now, so to make sure that no info is lost, we save it. But we promise, really promise, that we will not make use of the info until we receive the confirmation, and that will be any day now..."

We really need to add a rule to use only metric system. 
80 chains made me think of 4chan for some reason.

I have my little cousins visiting us here for the vacation. We do go out in the evening and play on ground, but the whole morning is being spent with phone & tablets. 
It hurts to see them playing some weird Shooting game. "Dino hunter", "Deer hunter", WTF! The house is full of shooting noise.
And the kids are not interested to play AOE-II on LAN with me (That's the only game I have ). It looks so boring for them.
1.Do you recommend any worthy games with good , smooth game play? that demands some brains to play?
2.And is there any worthy multiplayer games for phones?
(Not like Warcraft & other over crowded , Bulky ones, I mean simpler games, may be Angry birds-sized or similar types, but for multi-player)

My favourite phone game is sudoku, it's a good puzzle game and it does not just have to involve one person.

- Brain it on
- Cuboid
- Plants vs Zombies
- Survive - Wilderness Survival

Most multiplayer games I have seen appear to be either rigged or with so much lag that it will not be a good experience. There are some good multiplayer games out there but they are big ones.
If you want them to walk around outside with phones Ingress is pretty neat.

If you're willing to buy, try Limbo, Badland or Braid.

Yes, and it's called DOOM3. Oh, wait. You wanted something contemporary, so how about umm... counter-strike?
