Every year (when its possible) the Chaos Communication Congress is part of my last week of the year. I never had the chance to attend in person but some presentation are truly great. This year the 37 edition under the name 37C3 with the claim “unlocked” will take place over the course of 4 days.
ℹ This post will be updated multiple times over the next few days.
Here are some links for remote viewers like me.

Breaking “DRM” in Polish trains
Impressive revelation of the unlocking of trains and the demonstration of how companies abuse their power. In my opinion, it bears a striking similarity to the trickery of Volkswagen and their Dieselgate.

The lack of transparency in government and their efforts to hide their tracks is concerning. The presentation was good, but there’s more to the story. They are due to go to court in September 2024.
