I’ve seen this on a few sites. They aren’t even allowed to make rejecting cookies more difficult than accepting them but right now the legal people are trying to educate before they starting enforcing these rules. I expect the lawyers at the Mirror know that this is illegal but think they can get away with it.

All those things like having to “customise” your cookies to turn them all off, and “legitimate interest” is all illegal under the rules but they’re trying their luck.

What kind of image do Volvo drivers have where you live? Here Volvos are just seen as reliable but boring.

Are there sites out there tracking these things? If a company didn’t do this I certainly wouldn’t be noticing.

The guy was from Hong Kong, they probably threatened to throw his family in jail.

I’m sure anyone who really needs access can get to it. It’s not a surprise that MS don’t want to be sharing code with CCP sponsored backdoors.

When I set up my Amazon devices there was an option for it to save my WiFi details but I always declined.

A lot of this CCTV is just in shops and stuff, not necessarily the government. Not much you can do about that, it’s just culture.

This can’t feasibly be done over the internet. An IP address must be unique as that’s how it finds it out of billions of other devices. There are situations where the same IP can route to different locations but that’s regional and way beyond what you’re trying to achieve here. It’s how something like 8.8.8.8 works without sending all the requests to a single location.

If your server is sending out traffic as 1.2.3.4 and then tries to send the encrypted traffic to the client at 1.2.3.4 the traffic would either be routed back to itself or the client would receive the plaintext traffic meant for the server.

iDRAC? That’s what it’s for. It’ll allow remote access to your server but somebody would still need passwords, etc. it’s been around for ages so there’s going to be good practice guides on how to set it up.

It’s device manufacturers that are fucking up, not MS.

The government’s cancelled the bit about scanning messages. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. The coffin dodgers floating around those halls keep proposing this stuff based on tech they don’t understand, then it always get stopped eventually.
