Its tru for Schengen visas too. Overstaying a day because of a cancelled flight is enough to deny future visas, they are very strict. It depends on the country you are applying to, and from. There are also exit requirements, like having to leave Schengen from the same country you arrived in.

It's so easy in Norway. When you start a new relationship with another bank, they just offer to move all your money and automatic bill payments from the other bank to your new bank. So the new bank handles everything

Would be interesting to snatch one of these domains should the ever be available. If the author has a list of the domains 40k different apps called, there must be some requests going out to domains that are no longer registered.

BankID is mostly snakeoil. It's not really much more than TOTP 2fa, where you have to have shown physical ID to some of the involved organizations at some point. All the stuff they do with keys is pointless in the end, and is just theatrics to make it sound safe.

The providers holds all the keys, you cannot verify that a signature is legit yourself, you wont get access to the keys they use to sign things, and a cryptographic signature is not really the same as a normal signature on a document.

I have been getting tons of PDFs which in the previews shows pictures of women. The subject and body of the emails just seems to be random words like in a seed phrase, and with some random single digit numbers. The email is sent from office, hotmail or gmail accounts and verifies. The TO field is also filled with other emails. I have been getting this for like 3 or 4 months, and report as spam does not work. In all the years I have had a gmail account it has never really been a problem.

Maybe your just are getting old, and have different taste than what the movie/tv studios cater for today. If you were a kid during the 80ies, today kids are going to be looking at the content from that time with the same view as you were looking at stuff from the 40ies-60ies.

It's a bit of an unfavorable comparison, a more apt comparison would be Ubuntu/Fedora/ElementaryOS hardening vs Windows 11. The desktop versions have much larger attack surfaces than just "Linux", and it is honestly quite abysmal compared to Windows desktop, mostly because there are nobody looking for those kinds of bugs.

There are services that offer bots that increases your listening count on Spotify. People with dirty money create a bunch of artists and songs on Spotify, and use the services to increase the listening count. Spotify pay out royalties based on those numbers. So they pay the service with dirty money, and get clean money from Spotify

Another important aspect of suitability is the building time for new ships, in most cases you will only be able to fight the current war with the ships that you already have or are currently under construction. So having ships survive is important, and it is why so many of the WW1/2 navies were so afraid of using them.

As I painfully experienced recently, browsers on desktop ignores host file with DoH enabled. Had to create a separate browser profile to get this to work with DoH and other privacy/security settings to work
