Players from the USA are annoyed to the new part of The Witcher for being Woke and DEI… You are talking about a Polish studio from games, because the fucking CD Project Red is the fuck from Poland

Ciri literally looks like a typical Slavic woman from that time

"CD Projekt SA (until July 25, 2011 Optimus SA) - Polish joint -stock company dealing in the production and distribution of computer games through its subsidiaries. The dominant entity of the CD Projekt capital group.

The company existed under its original name in 1988–2011. In the 90s She was one of the largest manufacturers of PCs in Poland, then expanded its activity to the production of cash registers, providing integrated IT solutions for offices and large enterprises, and created one of the leading Polish online portals onet.pl. After the division and subsequent transformations of the capital structure, Optimus took over CDP Investment and focused almost exclusively on the production, location and distribution of computer games [3] [4] [5].

In 2020, CD Projekt was placed first in the ranking of the 100 largest Polish private companies [6]"

"The company was founded in 1988 as a private company Romana Kluski. From 1994 Optimus was listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The company was the largest manufacturer of computers in Poland. In 1996, it began publishing, under which the "Education and Entertainment" group was created,, focusing Optiums Bis (distributor of Ubisoft games, Activision, Axall, Condor, Merit, MindScape, SSI, ID Software, SCI and Warner), Optimus Nexus (producer of games and multimedia) and Optimus Pascal (producer of spolkin) and Optimus himself was a representative of Disney Interactive. [10] [11]. On October 13, 1999, the company expanded the offer of products with game consoles, becoming one of the two official Nintendo distributors in Poland [12]. In the years 2000–2002, the company's legal transformations took place, as a result of which it was finally divided into two separate business entities - Optimus and the Onet Group. On August 28, 2006, the Securities and Stock Exchange Commission decided to withdraw the company from the WSE. The reason was improper performance of information duties by the Company. However, the decision did not enter into force and Optimus remained on the stock exchange.

At the beginning of 2006, the headquarters of Optimus was moved from Nowy Sącz to Warsaw, And the installation of computers on the principle of outsourcing to the ABC Data plant. In the same year, the company also filed a claim for compensation in the amount of PLN 35 million for unlawful decisions of tax authorities of 2002, which, according to Optimus, led to the loss of reputation by the company, losses PLN 27 million and direct costs of tax proceedings in the amount of PLN 8 million [1].

On October 31, 2007, members of the management of Optimus, Piotr Lewandowski and Michał Lorenc, were detained by CBŚ regarding the controversial increase in capital in the company. On April 16, 2008, Lewandowski was again detained by the CBA on charges of removing money from the company [13].

On January 22, 2008, the Company submitted a bankruptcy application to the court with the possibility of concluding an agreement, but it was withdrawn after the public broadcast of the shares, of which some of the revenues (13, PLN 5 million) was allocated to cover the obligations. Another bankruptcy application was submitted by the company West, but the courts of both instances dismissed him [14].

Optimus is the creator of the largest Polish internet portal - Onet.pl. After the sale of shares in the company by its founder Roman Kluska, the website was transferred to the Onet daughter company, which was then taken over by the ITI group, and in 2012 it hit the hands of the Axel Springer Polska Group. The name Onet.pl comes from the word Optimusnet"

Suddenly Poland became too progressive for fucking Americans?

Seamless Transitions: How Blockchain is Revolutionizing Employee Onboarding and Offboarding

The journey of an employee, from their first day to their last, is filled with a myriad of administrative tasks, data exchanges, and critical touchpoints. Traditionally, onboarding is a paperwork-heavy, often fragmented process, while offboarding can be equally cumbersome, involving access revocation, final pay calculations, and knowledge transfer. Both phases are prone to inefficiencies, security risks, and compliance headaches.

Enter blockchain technology – a decentralized, immutable ledger system with the potential to fundamentally transform how HR handles the entire employee lifecycle, particularly the crucial entry and exit points. By leveraging blockchain's inherent security, transparency, and automation capabilities, HR can create a more efficient, secure, and employee-centric experience.

Here are five key ways blockchain is poised to revolutionize employee onboarding and offboarding:

1. Streamlined and Verifiable Credential Verification

One of the most time-consuming and fraud-prone aspects of onboarding is verifying a new hire's credentials: educational degrees, professional certifications, and previous employment history. Blockchain offers a solution by creating immutable, verifiable digital credentials. Universities, professional bodies, and past employers can issue secure digital certificates (often called "verifiable credentials") directly onto a blockchain. During onboarding, HR can instantly and securely verify these credentials with cryptographic certainty, eliminating the need for lengthy background checks, reducing the risk of fraudulent claims, and significantly speeding up the hiring process. This not only saves time and cost but also builds immediate trust.

2. Secure and Immutable Employee Records Management

Employee records contain highly sensitive personal, professional, and financial data. Storing these records on a centralized database makes them vulnerable to data breaches and tampering. Blockchain provides a robust alternative. By storing employee contracts, performance reviews, benefits enrollment forms, tax documents, and intellectual property agreements as encrypted records on a distributed ledger, organizations can ensure unparalleled security, integrity, and immutability. Each update creates a new, time-stamped block in the chain, making it impossible to alter past records without detection. This enhances data security, simplifies audits, and ensures a single source of truth for all employee information throughout their tenure.

3. Automated Compliance and Smart Contracts for Workflow

Smart contracts, self-executing agreements coded onto the blockchain, can automate complex HR workflows with unprecedented efficiency and compliance. During onboarding, smart contracts can automatically trigger actions once conditions are met: for instance, issuing a welcome email, setting up payroll deductions after contract signing, granting system access upon completion of mandatory training, or even automatically enrolling an employee in benefits plans after their probation period. Similarly, during offboarding, smart contracts can ensure a seamless and compliant exit: automatically processing final paychecks, revoking system access, notifying relevant departments, and confirming the return of company assets once specified conditions are met. This automation reduces human error, speeds up processes, and ensures consistent adherence to policies.

4. Enhanced Data Privacy and Employee Control (Self-Sovereign Identity)

Blockchain introduces the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), giving employees greater control over their own personal and professional data. Instead of organizations holding all their information, employees can store their verifiable credentials (e.g., identity proofs, qualifications, work history) in a secure digital wallet on their device. When an employer or a third party needs to verify specific information, the employee can selectively disclose only the necessary data with their explicit consent, rather than sharing their entire profile. This enhances privacy, reduces data sprawl across multiple systems, and shifts data ownership towards the individual, building a more trust-based relationship between employee and employer.

5. Seamless Offboarding and Future Re-engagement

Offboarding, while marking an end, is also an opportunity. Blockchain can streamline the process, ensuring all necessary steps are completed securely and efficiently. Access revocations become instant and verifiable. Knowledge transfer assets can be securely linked to the employee's immutable record. Furthermore, for alumni engagement or potential re-hires, the blockchain-based verifiable credentials mean that past performance, skills, and employment history can be instantly re-verified, making future re-onboarding significantly faster and smoother. This maintains a positive relationship and can even facilitate an "alumni network" where former employees' skills remain accessible for future projects or referrals, built on a foundation of secure, verified data.

In conclusion, blockchain technology is not just for cryptocurrencies; its core principles of decentralization, immutability, and transparency offer compelling solutions to long-standing challenges in HR. By integrating blockchain into employee onboarding and offboarding processes, organizations can unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, security, and trust. This shift promises to create a more streamlined, compliant, and ultimately, a more human-centric employee experience from the moment they join to long after they depart.

The Evolution of ID Verifications: A Digital Revolution

ID verifications have become essential in a time of critical digital security. As technology transforms ID verification, companies must employ modern verification systems that ensure high security while remaining user-friendly. This article examines the development of ID verifications, looking at established practices, technological advancements, and emerging technologies that will influence the future.

The Limitations of Traditional ID Verifications

For many years, physical documents, including driver's licences, passports, and national identity cards, were used for ID verifications. Although these conventional techniques offered a feeling of security, they were vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, and forgeries. Security precautions were breached because manual verification procedures were laborious and prone to mistakes.

As fraudulent activities increased, the need for trustworthy ID verifications increased across a few industries, including banking, healthcare, and e-commerce. Organisations realised they needed to implement digital solutions that might improve the security and accuracy of ID verifications, considering the growing threat of cyberattacks.

The Digital Transformation of ID Verifications

An important turning point in identity security was the switch from paper-based ID verifications to digital authentication techniques. Identity authentication was revolutionised by online ID verifications that combined biometric technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Biometric ID verifications—which include iris scanning, facial recognition, and fingerprint scanning—have become a more secure option than conventional techniques. These technologies provided users with a smooth authentication process while lowering the possibility of identity fraud. Similarly, by instantly identifying suspicious activity and fraudulent trends, AI-powered ID verifications improved security safeguards.

Furthermore, decentralised ID verifications have been made possible by blockchain technology, which guarantees data integrity and reduces the hazards connected with centralised databases. People have more control over their data when their digital identities are encrypted, which promotes a privacy-focused approach to ID verifications.

The Role of ID Verifications in Cybersecurity

ID verifications are essential for protecting online interactions, digital transactions, and access control systems as cybersecurity threats increase. Multi-factor authentication (MFA), which combines one-time passcodes or biometric ID verifications with conventional passwords, has become commonplace. The risks posed by fraudsters trying to get around authentication systems are reduced by this tiered security strategy.

ID verifications are used by government organisations, social media companies, and financial organisations to stop identity theft, unauthorised access, and data breaches. Strict ID checks in the e-commerce industry shield customers from fraudulent transactions and guarantee safe online purchases. Due to both regulatory restrictions and technical advancements, the efficacy of ID verifications in cybersecurity keeps changing.

Future Innovations in ID Verifications

Developments in decentralised identity management, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence are all entwined with the future of ID verifications. AI-powered ID verifications will improve authentication precision by more accurately detecting synthetic identity fraud and deepfake technology.

Encryption techniques will be transformed by quantum-secure ID verifications, strengthening security systems against new cyberthreats. Self-sovereign identification (SSI)-powered decentralised digital IDs will provide people complete control over their identity credentials, doing away with the need for centralised authority.

ID verifications will continue to change as the digital security landscape changes, producing a more secure and effective authentication procedure across industries.

Conclusion

As technology advances and risks arise, ID verifications are at the forefront of digital security. The shift from conventional techniques to AI-powered verification systems highlights the need for strong security. Identity authentication will be redefined as ID verification technology develops, offering both individuals and businesses a safe, streamlined, and effective verification process.

2. Azure Integration Runtime and Region Impact

ADF uses Integration Runtimes (IRs) to perform activities. Costs vary by:

Type (Azure, Self-hosted, or SSIS)

Region deployed

Compute tier (for Data Flow

3. Example Cost Estimation

Let’s say you run a daily pipeline with:

3 orchestrated step

1 copy activity moving 5 GB of data

1 mapping data flow with 4 vCores for 10 minutes

Estimated monthly cost:

Pipeline runs: (3 x 30) = 90 activity runs ≈ $0.09

Copy activity: 5 GB/day = 150 GB/month = ~$0.50 (depending on region)

DIU usage: Minimal for this size

Data flow: (4 vCores x 0.167 hrs x $0.193) x 30 ≈ $3.87

✅ Total Monthly Estimate: ~$4.50

4. Tools for Cost Estimation

Use these tools to get a more precise estimate:

Azure Pricing Calculator: Customize based on region, DIUs, vCores, etc.

Cost Management in Azure Portal: Analyze actual usage and forecast future costs

ADF Monitoring: Track activity and performance per pipeline.

5. Tips to Optimize ADF Costs

Use data partitioning to reduce data movement time.

Consolidate activities to limit pipeline runs.

Scale Integration Runtime compute only as needed.

Schedule pipelines during off-peak hours (if using other Azure services).

Keep an eye on debug sessions and idle IRs.

Final Thoughts

Azure Data Factory offers powerful data integration capabilities, but smart cost management starts with understanding how pricing works. By estimating activity volumes, compute usage, and leveraging the right tools, you can build efficient and budget-conscious data pipelines.
