Volkswagen newspeak: „IT-Sicherheitsforschern sei das nur durch die Umgehung mehrerer Sicherheitsmechanismen gelungen, die ein hohes Maß an Fachwissen & einen erheblichen Zeitaufwand erforderten, sowie durch die Kombination verschiedener Datensätze.“ #38C3 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/volksw…
Volkswagen-Konzern - Datenleck: Wir wissen, wo dein Auto steht
VW hat mit einer neuen Blamage zu kämpfen. Bewegungsdaten von 800.000 E-Autos sowie Kontaktinformationen zu den Besitzern standen ungeschützt im Netz. Sichtbar war, wer wann zu Hause parkt, beim BND…

🌍 My map reveals the devastating impact of Syria’s war on its population. Over 500,000 lives were lost, and millions were displaced, making it one of the largest refugee crises in history.

I had so much fun giving this vintage map of Europe a fresh twist by adding exaggerated relief! The original map comes from the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection. Want to learn how to bring old maps back to life? Check out my tutorial here: youtu.be/0HFEQU-ELKk

So apparently there is a web-based, collaborative #GIS 🤯. Might be a game changer considering how extensive development of a GIS is and how little & cumbersome options there are especially on macOS & Linux.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 15: My data
Quick fun project: I was curious if the spare coins I had would tell much about me - where i'm from, where i live, and where I’ve traveled... So I stacked all the coins on my table and overlaid a European map, here's what it showed!
