  • Not that, but I just feel weird to do anything but non-stop work during work time, so I’ll drink less water to not have to use a toilet during the 6 hours till break/end (just a part-time job).
    Once I was told to wait for something without being officially put on waiting time, and I just felt weird standing there doing nothing, because officially I was supposed to be working.
    When I was told that I am too slow (based on statistics for the day) and once that I did something wrong I took that quite personally. And fearing a negative point basically flooded my mind, meaning I couldn’t quite concentrate, meaning I was more prone to further mistakes, which just made me fear more… positive feedback loop of fear.

    I don’t know, I’ve been there for over a year. I just kind of have a dog-like “pleasing the owner” mentality. As such, getting an email saying I got a positive point feels pretty good.





  • I just realized I sound way too paranoid but it’s an interesting question

    Nope. Not paranoid enough. If school/work requires such software, that goes onto a separate device only for those purposes, which will then be considered untrustworthy environment like any public computer.

    Although perhaps in a sense it is paranoid compared to what others do. Recently I’ve had to get something printed without having own printer. I’ve found out people have no problem logging into their Google or Microsoft account on public PCs.
    I brought the PDF on a CD.
    There’s a certain small chance that something malicious could be written to a USB, and I don’t know about all the possible vulnerabilities. If mounted, perhaps the automatic media thumbnail generator could be exploited. That is probably paranoid, worrying about random software installed on your own computer is certainly not.











  • I think we just have to accept that no solution is 100%. You just need some balance between success and side effects.

    As long as people can communicate, it will to some extent spread. So really, the only truly 100% solution would be a couple of nuclear bombs all around the world. Look at that, crime rates went to 0!

    I am not really intelligent or knowledgeable enough to provide best-balance solutions.

    Anyway, as far as limiting access to porn, perhaps it could be done privately. You could have some trusted verification platform, perhaps even government provided, deal with it with cryptographic signature, maybe as I said, I am too dumb for solutions.
    My idea is, the website that wants to verify your age knows the public key of the government provided service used for this purpose (who already has your data anyway), and generates some random data in base64. You copy that, paste it into the verification website, they sign it, and give you the base64-encoded response. You then paste the response into website that wants to verify your age, it verifies the signature and then that you’re 18+.

    Basically just trusted authority saying “verified being 18+”. The website doesn’t know who you are, verification system doesn’t know what you wanted that verification for.

    Of course, you could verify that for anyone else, but I can also walk into a shop, buy cigarettes, alcohol and give them to a kid. Not 100%, but good enough.






  • I think the eID should be unique and gets transmitted.

    That’s probably the ID that forbids me from installing (another) speedtest eSIM, though “ID” could also refer to IMEI perhaps. I’d have to try another phone.

    Error code: ES10B_ERROR_REASON_UNDEFINED
    
    Last HTTP response (from server):
    
    {
    	"header": {
    		"functionExecutionStatus": {
    			"status": "Failed",
    			"statusCodeData": {
    				"subjectCode": "8.2.6",
    				"reasonCode": "3.8",
    				"subjectIdentifier": "Matching ID",
    				"message": "Refused"
    			}
    		}
    	},
    	"transactionId": "[You don't need this]"
    }
    
    Last APDU response (from SIM) is successful
    

    Based on this, it is a part of the transmitted information, if I understand it right: https://www.sharetechnote.com/html/Handbook_LTE_eSIM.html
