  • Having used the system some time ago, I’m not too worried. It only shows the name and latest address. Basically like the white pages but with a soc.sec.ID instead of the phone number.

    It lacks info on a lot of people, because some people aren’t too good at reporting when they move, and some are hidden for legal reasons.

    The most dangerous thing would be if the data is sold to stalkers, because it does have more addresses than the white pages.

    The soc.sec.no. includes birthday and gender, so it can also be used for targeting scams.

    Anyway, it’s not like this data wasn’t already available in one way or another. The breach just made it easier for whoever did it.

    I can forgive many things. People should be allowed to make mistakes.

    I also know some people who are not stupid and yet keep doing evil things the moment they have paid back whatever the consequences were of their last bad deed. I really don’t know what to do with this kind of people.

    I think a society must be built on some kind of trust, more so than laws, but it seems impossible when some people just can’t be trusted.







  • To be fair there’s not a lot of data on any EV brand. Just like job postings, you can’t really ask for 20 years of road experience from something that has only been on the road for 10.

    I’ve heard both good and bad about the service on Chinese brands. It depends on where you are in the world. Apparently they prioritize some markets over others when it comes to spare parts. I think they’re currently strung out from the rapid expansion, choking on their success.

    Since all other brands are also dependent on the production in China, it’s really only up to them which brands they’ll support in the future.

    On the positive side, the maintenance and repairs don’t seem to be as specific to the brands as previous car makes. They’re using no-name mechanic shops instead of running their own. They can do this because EVs are fairly simple. The mechanics only need to know how to exchange the broken part with a new one instead of actually fixing some wildly complicated thing in a conventional engine. Plug and Play really. I wouldn’t say that I like that approach, but I can’t deny that it’s both more efficient and apparently also cheaper.

    The same thing is happening to modern ICE cars as well. Labor is more expensive than chinese car parts. You can probably order them straight off temu. I hate it, but that’s the future.

    The origins are unclear. The Danish bakers stole the recipe for soggy cakes from Vienna, hence the name, but then the Austrian bakers startede calling it a copenhagen plunder. Immigrants brought the cake to America by the name danish.

    Technically the whole range of similar cakes are neither cakes, bread or pastry. They’re viennoiseries, which is layered dough, just like croissants.
