VonReposti,

What is this life you keep talking about?

VonReposti,

I know that World War I started on a Tuesday so that’s 50% of all world wars right there.

VonReposti,

Also Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

That is not true at all. The police has even officially recommended the use of speed trap avoidance software. We even have an entire market of it, most notably with Saphe that’s probably the world’s biggest producer of traffic alarms.

VonReposti,

Well, not that shocked.

VonReposti,

I’ll take two shoeboxes filled with gold. With a size of 35x25x13cm it’ll be 11,375cm³ which can contain 219.77kg of gold worth €15,519,086. That’s €31,038,172 for two shoeboxes. I think I’ll be able to make a good early retirement on that.

VonReposti,

In Denmark it’s not illegal to drink below the age limit, it’s just prohibited to sell alcohol to minors. If your parents buy it for you then it’s no problem.

Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...

VonReposti,

Especially because you can just throw it in Proton

VonReposti,

That was me on a mail-chain about an issue that would result in us losing our licence to operate in a certain market if we didn’t have a fix before the end of Easter with the first mail arriving the week before Easter.

That was until I figured out I had to fix the issue though…

VonReposti,

Well, the first mail arrived Friday afternoon leading up to the Easter week and I looked at it Monday thinking “sucks to be the guy responsible for that” before seeing the ticket pop into my team’s desk. It is a task that takes 3 weeks to implement with a full team so the issue is known by level 2 staff and probably even our CEO. At least we’re told that we have the entire IT department at our disposal, but holy hell, who the fuck comes up with an all-or-nothing deadline of 3 working days?

VonReposti,

According to Danish law they are risking 6 months of jail time (or 6 years under “particularly aggravating circumstances” but I don’t think that’s relevant), so not just money. The destroyed trophy, even though they weren’t directly aiming for it, a good lawyer might go after them on grounds of vandalism which is up to 1 year and 6 months under normal circumstances (disclaimer: I havent’t seen the video).

So far I don’t think there’s much precedence on it so it is hard to predict the outcome. Usually you wouldn’t get the highest punishment for a first offence, so if it is jail time I’d be surprised if it’s more than a month. But a jail punishment will haunt your criminal record for 5 years while a fine will stay with you for 2 years, which is actually the the worst part if you have anything but a low-level job in Denmark.

VonReposti,

The markdown didn’t work well, this link should so it.

For future reference, you can create a link by just pasting it as is or writing my link which becomes my link

VonReposti,

Huh, I thought you used the small screen because it is hard to use the big screen on the toilet.

John Riccitiello is stepping down as CEO and president of Unity (investors.unity.com)

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Unity (NYSE: U) (the “Company”), the world’s leading platform for creating and growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, today announced that John Riccitiello will retire as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately....

VonReposti,

Why not use an e-mail relay service like Addy.io or SimpleLogin.io? Much better than creating new e-mail accounts all the time.

But to answer your question. E-mails only get sent to wherever the MX records points to, so if your custom domain points to some e-mail service that is not Microsoft, Microsoft would never be able to intercept your e-mails.

VonReposti,

Don’t sue them, we’re not the US. Make a complaint to your local DPA. If the offender needs to be pulled to court, the DPA will do so.

Difference is who’s paying for the court case.
