This was not the year 2025 that we had ordered. 2025 was a good year for exploits, not a good year for freedom, and an outstanding year for bad ideas. Governments continued to fight for mass surveillance, of course with AI support™. Wars have been further "digitized", chat control has been sold as
Our stationary probes measure the local dose rate at a specific location around the clock. So we always know how much it is radiating at that place. But in order to determine what is radiating there - i.e. which substances - we need a different kind of measurement. We carry them out at regular inter
We operate a nationwide monitoring network for radioactivity in Germany. It is used for the constant monitoring of artificial and natural environmental radioactivity. If the values were to go up, our experts would notice it very quickly. The video shows how the measurement network works. More detail
With the monitoring network for the monitoring of the local dose rate (ODL), the BfS monitors the natural radiation exposure in Germany at around 1,800 measuring points. In the video, Frank Weiler explains how the measuring network works, how it automatically triggers an alarm in an emergency and wh
1,700 probes are distributed throughout Germany and permanently monitor the #Umweltradioaktivität. In this video we show you where the probes are, what the measurement results depend on and what can happen in the life of a probe ... You can see the exact measurement results here: https://odlinfo.bf
Around 1,700 probes measure environmental radioactivity in Germany around the clock – and all of them have to be maintained regularly. In a new video from the series "50 Years of the Radioactivity Measurement Network", we show you what is in the probes and what tests they have to undergo again and a
The probes of our radioactivity monitoring network are regularly maintained. There are many different points to consider. We were present at a maintenance mission with the camera. #radioaktivität #strahlung #strahlenschutz Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All
The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is one of, if not arguably the most advanced Internet censorship systems in the world. Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurem
The citizen's allowance is history. In its place is a basic security that relies on a calculated breach of the constitution. Total sanctions, placement priority, square meter caps, every move means more comprehensive state surveillance. In Hamburg, the payment card is to be extended to social welfar
How do we ensure that facial recognition technology is developed responsibly and ethically? Risk Bites dives into the rather serious risks and ethical problems presented by face recognition. Because this such an important issue, we can only scratch the surface in 4 minutes – so please do check out
Today, medicine is seen as an authority and a sacred institution. But like any institution, it has a dark past. The story of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis shows how medicine was terribly wrong and how the poor judgment of the doctors cost many women their lives. In 19th-century Vienna, the young doctor was r
