Poisonous fish in Germany: That’s why you should go straight to the doctor if you get bitten

In the vernacular, the cute-sounding weever is also known as adder of the sea designated. The animal stays in the shallow waters of the North and Baltic Seas and buries itself in the sand – but the poisonous spikes on its dorsal fin often stick out above it.

This makes it impossible for people playing in the water to see the poisonous fish. Per year so between 30 and 40 people stung. This is extremely painful and can lead to swelling and joint pain. The venom contains 5-hydroxytryptamine, which is responsible for the severe pain.

The good news: The sting itself is only life-threatening in the rarest of cases, for example in the case of previous illnesses. However, if a person is stung in deeper water, there is a risk that they will no longer be able to stay afloat due to the pain.

Deepfake videos: scam with TV presenters – CHIP

Deepfakes are manipulated videos created by artificial intelligence that can put people in false situations or statements. People’s faces and voices are changed so that they say or do something that they did not actually say or do.

In his tweet, Sievers warns about the scam and the spread of deepfakes on social media. He writes: “The guy looks like me, sounds (almost) like me. But it’s not really me… Not really.” He calls for caution and criticizes Facebook’s shrugging of the shoulders when it comes to deepfakes.

Free VPN from Switzerland: This provider gives you 10 GB per month for free

PrivadoVPN approaches security and privacy with the right mindset. The selection of VPN protocols is good, WireGuard is also included and is now available on all platforms. If you want, you can also set OpenVPN or IKEv2 permanently.

According to the provider, it does not collect log files of IP addresses or usage data. However, this has not yet been verified by an independent audit. Only the amount of data used is kept in mind; in the free version, each user has 10 GB available, after which the provider throttles the speed to 1 MBit/s. Only an email address is required to register.

Split tunneling is behind the Smart Route function. There you can select programs that should not travel through the protected tunnel when the VPN is switched on, or vice versa if only certain programs should use the VPN.

PrivadoVPN does not leak DNS, IP or WebRTC data; a kill switch can be activated that cuts off the Internet connection if the VPN is not available. So far, the data protection declaration is only available in English; upon request, the provider announced a German translation.
