1-in-40,000 is still better than the chance for the average Slashdot reader!

The app of my bank has a button that you can click to check if the bank is currently calling you. You can put in your phone number, so that you can do this check on a different phone than the one you are using for the call.

And the bank constantly reminds me of the existence of this function.

Good thing then, that this is run by government, and that no sensitive information is shared with any private company.

The point of the "app" is that a website can send a signed verification request "is this person over 18", and the app will, if the user approves the request, give a signed response of "yes" or "no".
The website never sees the actual age of the user, nor any identifying information.

I think there is also E} I'm currently not looking for the product, but may be in the future (even though I may not know that yet) so the company wants to make sure you know they sell the product too.

It least in Europe it's used a lot in Smart City applications for sensors. Things like environmental sensors (weather, water levels, etc), parking sensors, smart metering... It works very well for that.

Would you mind sharing which ones you tried and which one you settled on in the end? I think quite a few people may be looking for alternatives now, and someone sharing their experience may save them a lot of time.

My password can't be stolen. If someone copies my password, I still have it, so it's not stolen, merely copied.

My finger, however, can be stolen...

max acceleration of 22,000 mm/s

mm/s is a speed, not an acceleration. That should probably be mm/(s*s).
But this time it's not the editors fault, TFA already has the units wrong. I guess Tomshardware also can't do UTF-8? (superscript 2: Â)

Only after three years? Nah, Fairphones are never locked to start with. As it should be.

If you buy a Fairphone, it's your phone, to do with as you see fit. You can also get replacement parts for it.

Scientists Manufacture Material in a Lab That Doesn't Exist on Earth

So, where is this lab located, if it doesn't exist on earth?
  In orbit? On the moon? On Mars?

The ambiguity of the English language is fun, especially when combined with dyslexia.

Exactly. And then bookmark www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
It's the only youtube URL you need.
It contains all videos from your subscribed channels, in chronological order. And only the videos from your subscribed channels. No AI, No broken logic.

Get a FairPhone. They support their devices a long time.
If they're not available in your region yet, just wait until they are.

It wasn't banned in the Netherlands. The text at the end of the AD is Dutch and I remember seeing it on TV :)

Because the car is extracting more energy from the wind than the wheels put into the fan. In the end, moving air is being slowed down. That releases energy.

You may know about it, but you are doing a terrible job of explaining it :)

The keel of a boat has nothing to do with it. The keel has no effect when going straight in the direction of the wind. No "ordinary" boat can go faster than the wind, going straight in the direction of the wind. (One could, in theory, make a Blackbird-like boat that can do it, though I think the friction/drag of the water would be too much of a problem to make it work)

The wheels of Blackbird power the fan, not the other way around.
The fan of Blackbird actively pushes against the wind, just like the propeller of an aircraft. This slows down that wind, which is where the energy comes from. But this is nothing like a windmill, where the wind makes the blades move. Blackbirds wheels make the blades move, while the air tries to slow down the blades.
In your pickup truck example you do not make clear what makes what move, and a pickup truck has an engine, so the example makes no sense any way.
