The James Bond franchise faces a big problem: me, the viewer, has been shot at the start of the movie through the barrel of my gun, and I'm dripping blood over my own eye balls (they're in the gun)

Got to love Manchester Airport, where the bus from the plane to the terminal can take as long as the flight did.

It isn't just the USA that has a data broker problem
Scoop: We obtained vast amounts of European mobile phone location data from data brokers. It was allegedly collected for advertising purposes only, but can be used to spy on high-ranking EU officials & NATO staff in Brussels. The Commission is 'concerned' & issued new security guidance to its staff.

While I appreciate the novelty Aer Lingus, using a plane normally used for transatlantic flights for a quick spin to Manchester seems a bit excessive.
Fun watching everyone trying to get the movies to work though!

In Sept. the General Court of the EU rejected a case which sought to strike down the European Commission's approval of the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The dismissal leaves the DPF legally untested in Europe and vulnerable to political shifts in Washington, writes @iainnash.bsky.social.
The European Commission’s Rejection of Latombe
The rejection leaves the DPF politically fragile, legally untested at the Court of Justice, and vulnerable to shifts in Washington.

‘Quiet as a whisper’: German firm launches campaign after lift was used in Louvre heist
‘Quiet as a whisper’: German firm launches campaign after lift was used in Louvre heist
After watching the news about the Paris robbery, managers at Böcker decided to make the most of the publicity
A family run German business unwittingly became wrapped up in the crown jewel heist at the Louvre museum in Paris and is turning the use of one of its furniture lifts into a publicity coup.
“When you need to move fast” is the new tongue-in-cheek advertising tagline for the company Böcker, which is based in the town of Werne near Dortmund, in a campaign on Facebook and Instagram mounted within a day of the brazen thefts. Continue reading...

This latest "barrister meets AI" disaster is something all stage 1 law students should read. It is vital about the key skill of case reading - you mustn't use AI to substitute for the skill of being able to find cases and find key content in cases:

Can't stop watching the guy beside me at the airport who is desperately trying to get ChatGPT to write a 100 page book, with graphics, about French cooking in one prompt. He is getting really frustrated that all it will produce is a guide.
