  • AFAIK it won't and should you still get a bottleneck you can limit the maximum resources a service may use.

  • Well, they do provide the AppStore and the whole underlying infrastructure. So a fee in and off itself is not unreasonable.

    However, since the AppStore is the only channel for selling/downloading apps it reeks of monopoly (which Apple is rightly being investigated for).

  • even fireworks or some trivial shit

    As someone who had part of a fireworks display literally drop on their head 6 days ago: Yeah, it looks cool, but everything that goes up, has to go down eventually. Might want to keep that in mind when handing out rockets left, right and center.

    We call it “betutteling” and its rampend

    Never thought about where "betütteln" originated from but now that you mention it: Yep, that sounds like something a "swamp German" would say.

  • Except you missed the point.

    They asked for the instruction as their third wish. They don't have any wishes left to wish for more.

  • Monkey's paw moment: Simply wish for unlimited wishes

  • Mostly software based tech. Israel is leading in the field of "legal" spyware for example.

  • Is the QR Code applied professionally to the surface, possibly behind some security feature such as glass or another surface finish? Is the menu on the table in the general style of the restaurant, or does it look off or entirely different? Is the QR code applied on top of something else, possible another QR code?

    Don't use apps which directly open QR codes. Any sensible app will tell what the information is before processing it.

    And at last, the simplest and most efficient security measure of all: Commonsense. Don't scan everything you come across. Restaurant menu? Sure. Some random poster out in the woods promising a quick buck, happy time or their like? Hard pass.

  • So the issue isn't QR codes, but people being unable to recognize scammers additions to public infrastructure and the websites being scams. Basically, it's the same principle as scammers sticking an additional device on top of cash machines.

    No news here.

  • Tbf I am a Linux person and was still scratching my head somewhat.

  • Efficiency of scale is a bitch sometimes.

  • You Americans and your HOAs... 😜

  • Well, if there is one thing I expect I will not be able to convince my parents of: This.

  • Also: Cross post to both communities if you like.

  • Given how little we know about the inner workings of the brain (I'm a materialist, so to me the mind is the result of processes in the brain), I think there is still ample room for human intuition in therapy. Also, I believe there will always be people who prefer talking to a human over a machine.

    Think about it this way: Yes, most of our furniture is mass-produced by IKEA and others like it, but there are still very successful carpenters out there making beautiful furniture for people.

  • Never heard? No.

    Hasn't switched over yet? Certainly.
