Standing desks do not reduce #risk of #stroke and #heart #failure, #study suggests
They have been billed as the ultimate antidote to sitting in front of a screen all day at the office. But a study suggests standing #desks, which have soared in popularity in recent years, do not compensate for being inactive and may even increase the risk of conditions such as swollen veins and blood clots in the legs.

#Poland’s leader plans to suspend the right to #asylum as country faces pressure on #Belarus #border
Through its involvement in the lost wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan, Poland has contributed significantly to the refugee flows. Refusing to accept refugees is therefore not only ethically reprehensible but also a testimony to inhumane criminal politics.

Revenue effects of #Denuvo digital rights management on #PC video #games
Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1875952124002532
• Denuvo #DRM protects total revenue from piracy by a mean of 15% and a median of 20%.
• #Piracy causes mean total revenue to decrease by 20% when Denuvo is cracked quickly.
• Piracy causes zero mean total revenue loss when Denuvo survives for 12 weeks or more.
• The characteristics of a #game cannot explain its likelihood of being cracked.
First of all DRM is not digital rights management, it is digital restrictions management for the #gamer. Often DRM is making performance and installing problems.
It's important to know that DRM must be payed but makes a game #experience worse. DRM costs #money, #energy, #performance, patches and #support but without any positive effect for the consumer.
The question now is: are these costs higher or lower 20% of lost consumer licenses?

Hackers take control of #robot vacuums in multiple cities, yell racial slurs
The PIN code system protecting the robot's video feed — and remote control feature — was also known to be faulty, and the warning sound that is meant to play when the #camera is being watched was able to be disabled from afar.These #security issues could explain how attackers took control of multiple robots in separate locations, and how they could've silently surveilled their victims once they'd gotten in.

#PACE hearing on Julian #Assange's #detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights
watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc?t=746s
It is a shame for Western democracy that neither #Sweden nor the #UK have a review and a committee of inquiry into the failure of justice and US interference in the supposedly independent judiciary in the Assange case. Unfortunately, many politicians in Western Europe believe that human rights are only violated in Russia, China or Afghanistan, but not on their own doorstep. Distracted by the many crises and the rise of far-right parties, Europe is heading straight into diabolical chaos 😱

Why "AI" projects fail
“By some estimates, more than 80 percent of AI projects fail—twice the rate of failure for information technology projects that do not involve AI.tante (Smashing Frames)
U'khand CM Dhami reviews cyber #security infra after #malware #attack
Malware is a type of #computer #virus used to steal data.
...
#Dhami also directed the officials to conduct a security #audit of the 'State Data Centre' and the #website.
The question is rather why the security of the software was not sufficiently audited in advance and whether this is the right software at all if it is susceptible to such attacks?

U.S. #Wiretap Systems Targeted in #China - Linked #Hack

The #surveillance systems believed to be at issue are used to cooperate with requests for domestic information related to criminal and national security investigations. Under federal law, telecommunications and broadband companies must allow authorities to intercept electronic information pursuant to a court order. It couldn’t be determined if systems that support foreign #intelligence surveillance were also vulnerable in the breach.
Like all backdoors, this #backdoor is also a #security risk and not a gain.
