GDPR and privacy

I cannot understand Germany.

You need to have an identification card.

All identification cards contains your photo and your address.

Everything you do with the government is using paper (physical paper).

You have to register where you live, you religion etc.

There are zillions of cameras along the highways (autobahn) recording all single car and its occupants.

The internet traffic is highly monitored by the government.

Everything is recorded.

The government knows everything about you.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, to visit a place we had to write down our names, telephone number and address -- so, basically, our personal data was available for all stores in the entire country for all citizens.

They use paper (physical paper) for almost all communications. Using e-mail is something absolutely out of mind of the average German.

...and Germans complain when you want to install a video camera outside your property because of privacy....

What a bunch of idiots!

ATA Drive Capacity Limitations

ATA interface versions up through ATA-5 suffered from a drive capacity limitation of about 137GB (billion bytes). Depending on the BIOS used, you can further reduce this limitation to 8.4GB, or even as low as 528MB (million bytes). This is due to limitations in both the BIOS and the ATA interface, which when combined create even further limitations. To understand these limits, you have to look at the BIOS (software) and ATA (hardware) interfaces together. NOTE In addition to the BIOS/ATA limitations discussed in this section, various operating system limitations exist. These are described later in this chapter. The limitations when dealing with ATA drives are those of the ATA interface as well as the BIOS interface used to talk to the drive. A summary of the limitations is shown in Table 7.12. Table 7.12.
