Flooding in Udesti (Suceava)

These images have been captured by a friend of mine next to his parents house in Udesti, a small village in the north-east of Romania. The flooding was so quick that no one was prepared for it.

Despre contestarea amenzilor RATB

In cele ce urmeaza va fi prezentata modalitatea in care se rezolva in prezent contestatiile amenziilor RATB. Noul regulament RATB prevede ca in cazul in care unui calator i se solicita prezentarea actelor la control si acesta nu le are la indemana, i se va intocmi un proces verbal de amenda, care poate fi contestat numai la judecatoria sectorului din raza zonei in care a avut loc evenimentul. Asta inseamna ca daca esti prins fara abonament, desi ai unul valid pe care l-ai uitat insa acasa (din motive variate si absolut normale), primesti un proces verbal de constatare, cu antet din partea RATB - Serviciul Comercial-Marketing (asta e chiar funny, tinand cont ca e completat si inmanat de agentul de control). In cazul in care amenda nu este platita pe loc, in termen de 15 zile se primeste Instiintarea de plata din partea aceluiasi RATB - Serviciu Comercial-Marketing. Impotriva acestei instiintari se poate face apoi plangere la judecatoria pe raza careia s-a savarsit contraventia. Urmeaza ...

Apple Mac Mini M4 Base Model

After many back and forth trial an error attempts between various configurations, I remained with the base Mac Mini M4 model as it proved to be more than enough for my daily use.   Today I was surprised to discover I no longer needed a DAC for my old Sennheiser HD 650. Such a beautiful experience. Happy customer. Well done Apple.  Reference article from Apple for those in doubt:  https://support.apple.com/en-us/108351 P.S. I have my own thoughts about a possible future XDR 2 Monitor to pair this beautiful machine, if anyone from Apple would read this.. I have spent many years testing configurations, a 6k 32" tandem display would be a nice pair. Alernatively a retina 6k 32-inch frameless display would do just fine as well.

Contactless Payment Card - A big security risk

Have you ever used a contactless card to pay for goods up to 20 gbp at a local store? Well, this is very convenient, let's face it, that's because you're simply touching the screen and make the payment, is that easy. But because you're not using a PIN (in a form of biometrics) or similar, there's a big security risk involved. And you know what several banks have done to avoid any dispute on that, they don't issue any receipt for the transaction, therefore no proof. In my opinion this is BAD, really BAD, I've heard they are going to lift this limit as soon as it will become generally available. Since banks are now sending contactless cards by default, the risk is there, and rather than update the security on the system or come up with other ways of securing the POS's and the cards (like fingerprint in Apple Pay), they would rather prefer current approach which is not great, I don't even understand how it got approved by Government or Financial Con...
