Last month.


I found this with a quick search https://canitrundoom.org/


Central Sleep Apnea exists aswell.


This sent me down a rabbit hole, but high altitude periodic breathing seems related for some people living at high altitude.

Sleep apnea can be a disqualifying condition for pilots, so I like to be 1000% certain and have plans A, B, and C ready to go before seeking treatment.


If jaw placement is an issue you can get corrective surgery without an apnea diagnosis (AFAIK). There’s a lot of info on Reddit, you can generally tell from your side profile or bite if it is a potential culprit.


The FAA decided not to medically clear me over my severe apnea last year. Soul crushing moment.



Interesting that ICCL didn't link the actual press release.

Press release from Belgian Data Protection Authority:

IAB response post:

https://iabeurope.eu/belgian-market-court-confirms-limited-r...


They have included multiple new references since the time of this comment.


lol at IAB's choice of headline: "Belgian Market Court Confirms Limited Role of IAB Europe In The TCF"

IAB was on the hook for the dreadful cookie "consent" popups that ruined the web (no, it wasn't GDPR that ruined it, it was a very deliberate action by "industry groups" like IAB).

The only reason the Market Court annulled the previous decision was on procedural grounds, while agreeing that IAB is responsible, and keeping the 250 000 EUR fine in place.

Too bad. I wish Market Court would've burned IAB to the ground, salted the earth and scattered the ashes.







We changed the URL and title to this from https://mashable.com/article/89-million-steam-accounts-leake..., thanks!


TLDR: “The leak consisted of older text messages that included one-time codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the phone numbers they were sent to. The leaked data did not associate the phone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data.”

So not really an issue.


But website say I need to change my password?!?


"You do not need to change your passwords or phone numbers as a result of this event."


Hmm, so the leak did include valid mobile phone numbers of that many Steam subscribers. I suppose that could be valuable intel to someone, down the line.

One of my friends was known to quip that Steam had better security than most banks, even in the early days. And it's true that Steam accounts host data and purchases that are quite valuable to the customers, as well as highly attractive to thieves, so customers do well to protect their accounts to the fullest extent.

A long time ago I was the holder of a Steam account, and I was once notified in email that someone had successfully entered both my username and password, since the password was trivial and/or reused from some other account I had. Since the account was still protected by MFA, I chose to take no action at all. But I believe that the perpetrator had some sort of Russian connection, IPv4 geolocation or something. But it was clearly an instance of: https://m.xkcd.com/2176/
