I remember reading that Game of Thrones was the most downloaded series in 2016. It's a pity; I'm sure that everybody needs and wants and deserves to get paid if they're doing a good job. I won't pretend to be a saint, but let's just say that if a series is available in the country where I live, in English, with English subtitles, I am more than happy to pay to watch it.
Biometrics is supposed to be the ultimate solution for access control. It is also supposed to be the best replacement for passwords, not only from the security perspective, but also from the user-friendliness perspective. People don't have to cope with the strange (and inefficient) password rules that security used to push down their throats. So all is wonderful, and we should all be using biometrics now, right?
When I was younger I used to read many books. So many that I would get lost in them. I was reading everything, depending on my age; from colorful comics, to Ivanhoe by Walter Scott, to almost everything written by Jules Verne, to Alexandre Dumas and the count of Monte Cristo, to some Robin Hood, to Victor Hugo and Les Miserables, to John Steinbeck and The Grapes of Wrath, to Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. Of course the Greeks that were considered classics for my generation: Stratis Mirivilis, Alexandros Papadiamantis, and (again) almost everything written by Nikos Kazantzakis.
I still remember my mother chasing me, and me hiding these books inside the covers of the school books; something that did not really help my grades so much...
It is almost 4 years since I moved to Prague. It is almost 4 years since I got on a bike last time. Maybe a couple of rides in summers at my parents' house, but that's all. Eventually, and since I have some storage space now at my home, I decided to buy a bicycle. So here it's me, on a bike again!
It looks like we're in the middle of one of the worse attacks in the last decade. The WannaCry attack has already crippled more than 230.000 computers, in more than 100 countries.
We already saw big organizations like Telefonica and the NHS, like Renault and Deutsche Bahn having their operations impacted. And it's not over yet. But...
I like my phone. I have a very specific need for my phones, they have to be dual-sim. I used to have a couple of Motorola Gs but after the screen broke at the last one, and I messed with the speaker on my attempt to change it, I was looking for a new one. I ended up getting a Wileyfox Swift. It had CyanogenOS and I believe everybody is familiar with CyanogenOS end of operations some months ago
