US Supreme Court just blew up EU-US Data Transfers

💥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: The EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Since 1995, the EU generally prohibits the export of personal data to third countries in order to prevent EU privacy rules from being circumvented by simply sending data abroad. While there are exceptions for necessary transfers, ranging from anything like booking a hotel to complex transactions, many EU companies simply outsourced the processing of personal data to US cloud providers. Since 2000, the European Commission has repeatedly accepted that the US is an “adequate” country when it comes to the protection…

A native graphical shell for SSH

✨ Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: With the web browser, we have really figured out a good flow for how one device (the “server”) can provide an experience on another device (the “client”). This raises a fun idea: imagine if servers and edge devices could serve up a browser-based graphical “shell” so they can be used from other devices. The shell would provide a home screen of apps.
