They can barely manage to type addresses correctly.

most casino machines aren't required to be as random as possible, they're instead designed to meet standards of payback rates if applicable, and standards of "the user can't literally just push some hidden key combo and always win" at all times. sometimes ensuring that say slot machines meet a state's "minimum 95% money in is returned to a customer" laws might require the machine to periodically cheat in the favor of whoever's standing in front of it when it notices that its payout rate over an audit term is too low. having it come up in a known prng state might even have been handy for being able to perform tests showing that it was in compliance.

in actual practice existing laws like these tend to be used to cover up when some rich/powerful/connected guy gets caught in a massive scandal or something and they want to try to hide as much related documentation as possible. or depending on country, just regular people who are mad about some embarrassing thing they did still being spread. but since people already know about the embarassing thing, newspapers have already been printed, etc etc its not really effective about hiding the thing, though it tends to cause things to rise to get more embroidered. a particular aspect is that, say, if you search on google.de for a certain person you'll get a message about hidden search results, but if you just go on google.com you can see the thing they wanted hidden just fine. this particular set of legislation is basically being written and passed in response to several different court rulings along those issues in recent years, for example there was a 2014 ECJ case that led to this http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/files/factsheets/factsheet_data_protection_en.pdf

what are you even talking about at this point. fact is the embarrassing thing people attempt to use these rulings to hide from are likely to be made more notorious by the attempt to hide them. not to mention that current EU jurisprudence is that most attempted instances of invoking "right to be forgotten" probably won't be approved by legal force, but would instead need to be basically a voluntary thing by the companies involved. your apparent idea of an expansive right everyone already has that is being taken away is not backed by law or courts or sense. fishmech fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jul 28, 2017 |

i'm just baffled by the whole decision as it's designed to like work when you're quite a few feet away by design. and probably can't handle something like "the user looks angry so we know we shouldn't unlock" it's almost like it's designed so a hostile actor has plenty of ability to get you to unlock the phone unwillingly
