The GDPR does not in any way disallow Facebook from running ads, regardless of the users consent. But if the user doesn't consent, Facebook can't run targeted ads on the user.

You're absolutely correct... However it will be very interesting to see how this doesn't violate the GDPR... recital 42 says:

“Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.”

Withdrawing consent in this case causes the detriment of having to either pay or lose access to the service... So this clearly isn't "freely given" consent.

If that's the case, you simply installed a heat pump with too little capacity...

Heatpumps come in all sizes... I just looked up one that outputs 50 kW worth of heat, and if that isn't enough you can integrate up to 16 of them to output a total of 800 kW of heat.

That being said, if your house is badly insulated and drafty, you should fix that first, it will immediately cut your heating bill, no matter which heat source you use.

Sure, there's also the scratch image, which is entirely empty... So if your app is just a single statically linked binary, your entire container contents can be a single binary.

The busybox image is also more barebones than alpine, but still has a couple of basic tools.

Containers can be entirely without anything. Some containers only contain the binary that gets executed. But many containers do contain pretty much a full distribution, but I have yet to see a container with a password hash in its /etc/shadow file...

So while the container has a root account, it doesn't have any login at all, no password, no ssh key, nothing.

Honestly everyone should just stop offering 2FA over SMS

Yeah, you're right, it seems many of these sites are getting a free pass, and reaping she benefits... Eventhough it's obviously not allowed by the GDPR.

There has already been multiple rulings under the GDPR where pages made it too hard to reject processing of personal data.

Google was forced to change their consent banner to make it easier to decline.

GDPR explicitly says that it must be as easy to decline as it is to accept. Paying €14 per month is not as easy as not paying €14 per month.

Consent is also not "freely given" if paying is the only way to avoid consenting.

The new Unity pricing is not necessarily cheaper than Unreal. It depends on the price model for the game in question.

Many free-to-play games see massive amounts of installs, but very little average revenue per game. See of those devs did the math for their games, and found out that their average revenue per player was around 18 cents. So if Unity charges 20 cents per install, the dev would outright have to pay Unity 2 cents more than the player even gave them in revenue.

Some other devs calculated that the install fees would come out to 106% or the total revenue that their game had made.

Unreal's price model is generally 5% of revenue, so that would be significantly cheaper.

But it depends a lot on the actual price model for the game. Some games will pay rather little in install fees, while others will pay excessive amounts.

While shorter lived certs certainly improve the general security, certificate revocation lists are what you need if a cert gets compromised.

Wait until you set up cert-manager to issue both Let's Encrypt certificates, as well as generating your own CA and issuing certs from your own CA where you can set the validity however want.

You very well might be. Your car might be "dumb" to the user, but still have a culular modem that transmits information to the manufacturer.

The manufacturer has already paid the subscription upfront, and can get very very low deals from the culular networks due to the low amount of data transmitted.
