The deadbolt-style hotel locks *can* be unlocked from the outside, with an appropriate override key, but will not unlock with a regular key card. They protect you against front desk accidentally programming a key for your room while checking another guest in.

fill out and sign this form, attach to your foia request: www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...
maybe add "A signed certification of identity is attached" to the request. do not attach copies of any other ID documents, they will only confuse them.

Direct File on GitHub Personal blog of Chris Given, government technologist. These words are always written by a human; I have no one to blame but myself.

Direct File is now open source. Finally.

A short, personal post about why: chrisgiven.com/2025/05/dire...

Massive kudos to the Direct File team for pulling this off and showing their commitment to transparency and earning trust.

ohh, say more about that last bit! does the cross-device flow create a permanent link between phone and browser that you need to remember to revoke? or i guess it doesn't matter since requests need to be approved on the phone anyway. i think you've convinced me, this is great.

neither works very well for sharing accounts or signing into low-stakes stuff on machines you don't otherwise trust, which imo is unfortunate even if ultimately not enough to outweigh the massive benefits of not having passwords

> Both iOS and Android support adding virtual Suica and PASMO cards, ...

Is that true of any Android phones sold outside Japan? Afaict Pixels only support this in the Japanese market models, and I thought the other manufacturers did the same

Website of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, with a cookie banner.

Website of the Latvian Data State Inspectorate, with a cookie banner.

Website of the European Council, with a cookie banner.

I'm told that annoying cookie banners are caused not by bad law, but by malicious compliance on the part of tech companies. What a tragic example of regulation being subverted by bad-faith corporate actors, like the DE Min of Interior, the LV data protection authority, or the EU Council.
