Dette er en oppgave som jeg fant opp i 2012, og som jeg har testet på mange ulike grupper mennesker i ulike aldre, med ulike morsmål og fra mange ulike land. Jeg har en egen video som forklarer meningen med oppgaven, men jeg synes du skal teste deg litt før du får se den. :) youtu.be/p5nTyjYtcK0

NEW: Trump Mobile finally confirms that it was exposing customers' names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and cellphone numbers. The company blamed a third-party provider and said it found no evidence that credit card numbers, SSNs, or other financial information spilled online.

Rather annoyed by todays' media coverage of Rubios comment that Trump is 'very disappointed' in NATO. The disappointment most certainly goes both ways.

Head of NATO in Europe: «US pulling out 5,000 troops won’t weaken the alliance’s defence plans in the region.» And that’s a US general speaking right there. Good to know.

Microsoft is updating the Edge web browser to ensure it no longer loads saved passwords into process memory in clear text at startup after previously stating it was "by design." www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microso...

1234 and 123456 are the most common pin codes in the world. But can you tell tell me why 5683 is also very popular, especially in English speaking countries? Write your guess in the comments below!

Anyone betting on a record number of Microsoft patches today?

Gut feeling: Instructure (who owns Canvas) chose to pay the ransom because the consequences for a massive number of students worldwide in their exam period before summer could be devastating. I can only imagine the ransom paid is *massive*

Thank you Microsoft for removing TLS 1.0 & 1.1 support for POP & IMAP clients connecting to Exchange Online, starting July 2026. It is only 5 years and a month since RFC 8996 / BCP 195 was published, deprecating TLS 1.0 & 1.1 for use on the Internet 😎 www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microso...

10. In Norway, 50+ orgs & experts are calling for the public sector to reduce its dependence on big tech. Across Europe, the UK and the US, consumers groups & other partners are also reaching out to their governments and policymakers with similar demands: to create a better digital future.

9. • Rebalance the power between service providers and consumers. • Reduce European dependency on big tech by supporting other technologies and services. • Double down on the enforcement of existing laws, including but not limited to the DMA & the GDPR. • Adopt a strong Digital Fairness Act.

8. Today we are taking international action. Together with 28 other civil society organisations, we are warning the European institutions against the ongoing deregulatory agenda of the Digital Omnibus Package, and urge them to:

7. We need vigorous enforcement of the laws we already have. Stronger sanctions to make sure that our laws actually deter big tech. This includes actively using merger control and structural remedies, and truly benefit competition and innovation.

6. We need new concrete plans and funding schemes for open-source alternatives to big tech. The public sectors across Europe (and beyond!) should in any case shift their spending from big tech’s proprietary software to open alternatives

5. We need new concrete plans and funding schemes for open-source alternatives to big tech. The public sectors across Europe (and beyond!) should in any case shift their spending from big tech’s proprietary software to open alternatives

4. We believe that consumers deserve stronger protections against enshittification practices. We are advocating for other types of technology, based on e.g. open source code, open protocols, interoperability, and portability. It is time to build the foundation of a new, better digital world.

3. Enshittification is everywhere, from feeds filled with ads and scams, to connected cars where you have to pay extra for basic features. When companies can change products and services at any time, consumers are held at their mercy.

Proud to support this, and co-signed the letter to Norwegian authorities.
