  • Eben. Sollte Latschenkiefer mit der Vermutung recht haben, ist der Bruder einer derjenigen, die dich gerne tot sehen würden. Sollte man so jemandem wirklich den Rücken stärken? Nur weil er ein Familienmitglied ist? Und dabei die eigenen Überzeugungen verraten, für eine auf Hass beruhende Ideologie? Wohl kaum. Zumal es ja Nudels Bruder selbst ist, der den Kontakt abgebrochen hat.












  • I always cringe with the 7th book, where the trio is hiding and searching for horkruxes, and for some weird reason they don’t have enough food and are constantly hungry. From the reading perspective I understand, that the hunger is a device to generate conflict and make their time hard to endure, but it always baffles me.

    • It is mentioned, that Hermione pulled out all her muggle savings, so why didn’t she think about going to a supermarket and buying all the conserved food (cans and such) she can before they got on the run? She even mentions, that food can be multiplicated, just not created out of nothing.
    • When they are hiding they sometimes get to a store or supermarket. But that only brings food for like a few days max. Why not more?
    • And when there where too many dementors in an area to get more food, why not going really far away. We know Hermione was at least one time in France with her parents. Why not going there? Probably the war-like situation was not spread over the complete world that seriously. At least we are not hearing any of that in the books (JKR probably didn’t even thing much about international things when writing this)


  • To be fair: With Dumbledoors measures with the mirror of erised they had kind of a trap. The philosophers stone obviously hidden behind some challenges, that are not really that strong, so an attacker would think the last one would also be easy. But there you only got the stonen if you didn’t want to use itn ruling out people with nefarious intentions (Dumbledoor didn’t know about Voldy in Quirrel at that time). To bad some first graders thought they needed to safe the stone. Quirrel would have been still thereuwhen Dumbledoor arrived, but Harry gave him and Voldy the opportunity to get the stone from him instead from the mirror. A bit of captain hindsight here. He maybe should have thought of that. Or maybe it is understandable that he didn’t foresee Harry fucking Potter


  • This would be easily mitigated by the keyfob using a rolling code. The attacker can record the signal, so the car will also have received it. A replay of that specific code won’t work again. That is a principle used in cheap garage door fobs for many years. So I guess keyless fobs would have at least that level of security.

    Better would be a cryptographic encryption using public/private key (already done in chip cards, so common technology). Though - looking at the dumb things car manufacturers did - I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t use private/public keys for this.
