Are you suggesting that “culturally Swiss” people never engage in inappropriate behavior, unlike people from “other cultures”? Why not end the dog whistling and say what you’re thinking out loud?
Omnia is a good concept, but the execution isn't quite there yet. I had ordered one, which I ended up returning due to a broken hardware part and less than stellar software. Maybe in a couple of years, it will be a solid platform.
That's good but pricey. The new $49 expression bin board on kickstarter based on the Marvell Armada Aarch64 SOC with mainline support seems delightful for a router.
But the Turris may be a more suitable alternative to an off the shelf router.
I've traveled from Zürich to Los Angeles on Good Friday (April 14, 2017) for leisure - my first visit since February 2016 and thus my first trip to Trump's 'murrica.
I was joined with my dad who recently retired and never has left the continent - his first long haul flight and first time to the US.
I feared and prepared for the worst and I even was debating about leaving my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air at home to avoid any searches.
It turned out to become the smoothest immigration ever: We stood at the curb waiting for the car rental bus within 45 minutes after we stepped out of the plane.
Short lines, smoothly working self-service kiosks, a friendly immigration officer, not one single intimidating or aggressive question.
I've usually found Australian customs to be fairly friendly whenever I've been returning home - though these days they make me use the automated passport gates so I don't talk to them at all...
Upon arriving in Finland the passport control officer even welcomed me in my native tounge (Swedish). If come through passport control in the nordic countries I can guarantee they will be friendly.
You should visit New Zealand one day, they have very strict rules about bringing anything in, but I've found their customs people to be the most friendly, even shared a few jokes and tips on snowboard gear with one of the officers while passing through the nothing to declare line last winter.
i had pretty good experiences in Philippines or Malaysia, i would say at least third of immigration officers i met at various borders were friendly. from Europe recently we had very nice Polish woman officer who was very welcoming to our family with small child in EU passports queue despite my wife not being from EU
worst experiences were probably Austrian Nazi guys investigating repeatedly my wife's passport, while at other border with Hungary they let freely roam across Europe thousands of illegal immigrants
The kiosks made immigration a lot easier. Also for the work of the officers who can now focus on details instead of always asking the same standard questions. Have noticed that they seem to be in a better mood, I guess it improved their job and therefore their mood.
I went through LAX for the first time in December 2016. The immigration line was long and took about an hour to get through but other than that it was pretty painless.
You shouldn’t have. Google trusted the phone too much, using it instead of the user-supplied secrets to determine who was allowed to access the account. Whether or not the account used multi-factor authentication seems quite perfectly irrelevant?
I have a similar setup: A script downloads my Remember The Milk tasks (.rss), parses them for YouTube and Vimeo links and downloads the videos to my Synology NAS and places a dot-file in the same directory to signal the script during the next iteration the video has been downloaded already.
"front" ... "war"?! Mozilla is taking a knife to a gunfight with the 800 pound gorillas out there. This is going to be a really long and bloody war ... NOT.
It's important to remember that many of the security folks at these companies are actually pretty good. This is more of a C-Suite problem than a security team problem - security people can't get much done if senior management doesn't prioritize a good information security program.
Makes you wonder doesn't it, the dollars that got spent to have something blatant happen. Its not an industry I'd like to be in, with everything so compromised.
Will I have to switch between a dozen SIM cards in a few years when I want to send an iMessage, a Facebook message, upload an Instagram photo, conduct a Google Hangout session. Oh hell no.
Just give me a 4G enabled SIM card, a reasonable data limit (ie. 5GB) for an affordable price. I'll figure out by myself what I will use this mobile broad band connection for, thanks.
