Obligatory "Patreon Link in the 'Listen to this as a podcast' section is still wrong" 
And the title says July 3? You did say 4th and Tuesday is the 4th 
Also, no Uber story, again? What the hell?
Guess that Fine for Google in the EU came too late for these news, would have fit into the first story a bit.
Regarding the Petya story, wasn't it basically the same with WannaCry, even if you paid you couldn't recover your system in most cases?
Hm... I kinda thought you already covered the SNES Mini... can't find it, welp, whatever.
So the Christian-Democratic party in Germany that pretty much fucked up the European south (and its own citizens for that matter) to save its banks and big business investors, follows and pushes a fully neo-liberal Reagan and Thatcher-like economic program of deregulation all around the EU is ¨left¨ in the global political spectrum.
I love you Ryan but you really need to refresh your political economy.

On the CIA vending machine thefts... The contractors unplugged the ethernet cord and swiped their cards for free snacks, which sounds pretty funny. But the reason no cia agents were caught up in that is there was probably no attempt at fraud. The real agents just tilt the vending machines and shake them a couple times for free snacks.
The thing that worries me about this... why does the vending machine even accept the cards when it has no way of communicating with wherever the credit is stored...

Might be an internal network. Probably just a way for the cia to get back some money it pays it's employees, like walmart:)
Yeah probably, but the point is it should just deny service when it has no connection.

True. I would also think if someone is working to defend our country, they might want them to have all the coffee, soda, or snacks they want to keep them sharp. It would be criminal to let our national security be compromised over a simple lack of skittles and mountain dew.
Yeah in other words, why isn't it for goddamn free...
But maybe it is. Maybe the "real" agents (aka non-contractors) have the magic black credit cards or something, just the contractors that have to pay... who knows.
But the result is still the same, shouldn't work unless it can check your credit

Guess what my company got hit with Petya and all we did was scan with symantec. The server clients were using was wiped and restored.
We had several users who were local admins because of the amount of updates for java coming from one of the local Ukranian banks.
Oh and this week hit with phishing emails and affected 735 people. Took 70 plus calls last night.
Our business users are fighting security measures to a scary degree.
I love you Ryan but you really need to refresh your political economy.
Yeah, hearing that part (particularly since it followed a long apology about being nationalistic) I felt a bit like Buzz Aldrin next to Trump (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2017/jul/03/buzz-aldrin-faces-trump-speech-space-video).
Ryan has a point about looking at the world as a spectrum. But when doing that it doesn't really make sense to have the US as the center point (or chose whatever center you want, but realize that you do and don't dismiss other people afterwards). Europe in general leans a lot further left than the US, here in Sweden arguably all political parties are on the "left" of the Democrats in the US.
There is a case to be made to have a more global scale. But with no disrespect, I wouldn't go to Level1Tech to get that.
Yeah the bit about Germany currently being under the solid control of the left was a coffee spitting out of the nose event considering the German SPD is possibly one of the few western 'center-left' parties that could be argued to give the U.S. Democrats a run for their money when it comes to electoral incompetence. The point may have been that on the legal restriction of extremist rhetoric and parties there is some kind of 'left wing' cultural consensus in Germany, but then again Francisco Franco banned the Fascist Party after it was no longer convenient for him to have them around...

2. No Religious or Political Content
Religious and political discussions frequently become divisive arguments and are outside the scope of this forum. Discussion of tech policy or tech law is acceptable.

Be genuine. You are meaning to stop it with that statement. At least be genuine.
What have they been deregulating in the last decade over in EU? Google search of deregulation in Europe turns up a lot of older deregulation issues.
