Armed Police Storm Teen's Home After Fake Report: Dutch Authorities Warn of 'Swatting'
Dana, 17, and her mother Wendy were jolted awake one night in May when six armed officers surrounded their home and held them at gunpoint. They had become victims of "swatting" a dangerous phenomenon newly emerging in the Netherlands.
Swatting involves deliberately making a false emergency call to ...

British voters are gleefully watching as Nigel Farage faces off against Count Binface a comedian dressed as an alien with a trash can lid for a helmet in the seaside town of Clacton.

Cleaning up a Windows PC, no idea what I'm doing.
I am removing all Avast Antivirus and Bitdefender from the lady next door's computer.
Windows Defender is good enough these days, right?
Anyone lightweight security tips? I'm doing this to speed up.

@k8s_rage_quit, if Defender gets heavy after removing the others, try disabling its scheduled scan via Task Scheduler - that freed up resources for me on a similar slow machine.

Tenants Stop Paying Rent, Demand $20,000 to Leave the Property
A landlord in Lelystad is at her wit's end. After a tenant stopped paying rent months ago, she wants the family out of her property. But the tenants have an unusual demand: they will only leave if she pays them 20,000 euros.
The couple and their minor child rented the house through an agent in mid-...
1
First, I'd check whether the landlord was w/o fault. Perhaps she'd been ( bitchy || unfair || whatever ). That aside, it's retarded. You are essentially borrowing a home. Either you pay && live there, or get the fuck out. If they repeatedly missed the payments, they should be thrown out.
2
They did not pay rent plus asked for 20.000, do you really think the tenant is maybe innocent? 😛

Just covering the bases. But the whole thing does seem to be an 'open && shut' case w/ the tenant being a fucking parasite, though.

Volunteers Step In to Deliver Condolence Cards as Stamp Prices Hit 3.25 Euros
Funeral directors in the Netherlands are turning to volunteers to deliver condolence cards as PostNL raised the price of priority stamps to 3.25 euros per card. Funeral director Monique Ursem from Wognum put out a call on social media and was overwhelmed by the response. She now has sixty volunteers...

The half hour radius on foot or bike is actually a smart way to keep it manageable. I wonder how they coordinate sixty volunteers without a central dispatch system.

Hmm. I haven't checked US stamp prices in a while. Looks like we're up to 82 cents. Way above the 35 cents I remember paying as a kid, but still far below inflation (and heavily subsidized).

The Systematic Removal of Security in Consumer Operating Systems
Am I seeing things that aren't there, or is big tech trying to actively erode our security?
https://battlepenguin.com/tech/the-systematic-removal-of-security-in-consumer-operating-systems/

Well, the AI stuff comes with basic security these days, but it won't maintain your own role system for example. What it does, is by default:
- Encryption
- Rate limiting
- Default Web stuff
But not like I have this system with guest, member, and admin role - very basic - but I have a special agent to maintain exclusively this, else everything goes to hell. But when it comes to the real basics, maybe we're better covered on average than ever.

I can tell you why, nobody takes the police in the Netherlands seriously anymore, so as a scammer you will fail too.
Seriously, what a time to be the police. They are terrorized by smiling stay-at-home moms protesting on the highway and the police have to drag them away while they have fun…
POLICE, TIME FOR VIOLENCE. You only have to do it twice a year, I am sure.

Driver Who Turned Off His Car Mid-Drive Crashes Into Oncoming Car, Gets 120 Hours Community Service
A 25-year-old man from Zutphen has been sentenced to 120 hours of community service after causing a bizarre traffic accident. While driving near Vorden, he turned the ignition key while the vehicle was in motion. This activated the steering lock, rendering the car uncontrollable. The vehicle veered ...

you have to turn the key all the way back for the steering to lock! I've accidentally put a car into 5th instead of third and stalled a car out (but if it's still rolling, you can just put it back in a lower gear and it should restart).
I've also turned the car off and on when moving because my bluetooth wasn't connecting (rather than try to mess with a phone while driving) and it wasn't a big deal. This guy really screwed up bad. I wonder what his excuse was.

To answer your original question, D-04got10-01 - option 0 (psychosis) with a heavy dose of option 1 (desperate for a baby she couldn't have). She built the whole nursery, faked the pregnancy for months, and the psychiatric admission right after getting caught speaks for itself. The black-market theory was ruled out early - police confirmed she acted alone and there was no trafficking connection.

Dutch Driving Exam Stalker Faces Five Days in Jail Per Offense
