This song from @Adam_Freeland sums up all that got me into #cryptocurrency and #bitcoin . We aren't there yet, it's not all perfect, but it's a monumental step into the right direction. Give it a listen :) https://t.co/X3cwFZpjhR

@NetworkChuck comp to M3 ultra. Stop this BS. Why don't you compare it to a C64 for even more impressive numbers?

@Pirat_Nation @screenrant These look like someone at Amazon played too much with that last Dragon Age game :D

@Pirat_Nation @screenrant Ah, my fav series that I pretend does not exist.

@AndroidAuth Google had one last chance every time a new chip came out since the G3 :D

@ReikoMarangon You never went to the beach but are posting AI pictures from your mother's basement.

Recently, OpenAI shipped a plugin that lets ChatGPT read your Mac's Messages app, search it, and draft and send replies.

However, this feature essentially renders Apple's end-to-end encryption obsolete, because your messages are now sitting on OpenAI's servers in plaintext. The plugin needs Full Disk Access, Contacts and Automation. If you have Messages in iCloud switched on, that's potentially years of history, attachments and identities, plus every SMS 2FA code your iPhone forwards to your Mac.

OpenAI says it runs locally and doesn't build an index. Local execution isn't the same as local processing. The moment ChatGPT summarises a thread or drafts a reply using a hosted model, that content leaves the machine.

In 2025 a US court ordered OpenAI to preserve ChatGPT conversations for the NYT case, including ones people had deleted. Under the CLOUD Act, data in OpenAI's control is reachable by US legal process wherever it's stored, and they can be barred from telling you it happened.

Governments have spent a decade demanding a backdoor into iMessage and getting refused. This one installs itself, for free, with a toggle.

If you've enabled it, everyone who has ever texted you is in it, and none of them know.

@kapilansh_twt Just take a look at the founders/leaders of these *free services*. Somehow those dudes buy a new yacht every few years and then castles in Ireland.
Then just keep thinking until you say somehing along the lines of "Aw fuck!"

@Sans_Google Sorry for the ugly markups. Censored the apps that I didn't rename :D
This is O launcher. Quite like it.
Gestures to start apps:
Swipe left: phone, right: messages, up: apps, down: settings. Tap date: calendar. Tap time: clock. 44m: my screentime. Tapping it launches custom app.

@GadgetHuntDaily ., here. Take this dot. It's yours now.

@Pirat_Nation Glad that at least cinemas/film studios can do something, even if we people can't.

@vonderleyen I think this war would be long over, plenty of people still alive if you just wouldn't finance it.
