🇨🇳 NEW: China has successfully made a satellite call using a standard smartphone, with no hardware modifications required.
The call was completed through the Thousand Sails constellation, which already has around 200 satellites in orbit and aims to reach 1,296 by 2027.
The race to challenge Starlink is accelerating.
In 1997, a British cryptographer named Adam Back was trying to solve something boring: email spam.
His fix was called Hashcash. To send a message, your computer had to burn a tiny bit of real work first. Cheap if you sent a few emails. Ruinously expensive if you wanted to blast out a million. Proof, in math, that effort had actually been spent.
No coin. No company. Just a way to make a digital action cost something real.
Eleven years later a whitepaper appeared with a short citation list. Hashcash was on it. Satoshi had taken Back's anti-spam tool and made it the heartbeat of a monetary network. The same "work" that once filtered junk mail now secures every Bitcoin block, making the ledger astronomically expensive to rewrite or fake.
Here's the lesson. The tools that end up protecting your freedom rarely show up dressed as freedom. They start small, practical, almost dull. Someone solving spam quietly built the engine of sound money.
Adam Back @adam3us wasn't trying to change the world. He was trying to stop junk mail. That's usually how it starts.
@JohlRavinder Yoga is copied from western world it’s called stretching and basic breathing exercises were exists before yoga. Copied it and named it yoga as usual

ग़ुलामी! जानते हैं क्या होती है? इस विडीओ में समझ आएगा।
समस्या भाषा नहीं है, नरेंद्र मोदी अंग्रेज़ी नहीं बोल पाते, इसलिए हिन्दी बोल रहे हैं और अनुवादक अंग्रेज़ी में बोल रहा है, यहाँ तक कोई दिक़्क़त नहीं है।
दिक़्क़त है शब्दों में, दिक़्क़त है बॉडी लैंग्वेज की, दिक़्क़त है राग-दरबारी गाने से। आमतौर पर अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति को 'मिस्टर प्रेसिडेंट' कह कर सम्बोधित किया जाता है। लेकिन यहाँ नरेंद्र मोदी उन्हें बार-बार 'एक्सेलेन्सी' कह रहे हैं। ये है सबसे बड़ी ग़ुलामी की निशानी।
अब आते हैं शब्दों पर। नरेंद्र मोदी, डॉनल्ड ट्रम्प की किस बात के लिए भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा कर रहे हैं? पूरी दुनिया में तहलका मचाने के लिए? पश्चिमी एशिया में कौन सी शांति स्थापित की ट्रम्प ने, जिसकी नरेंद्र मोदी इतनी तारीफ़ किए जा रहे हैं?
हमारे नाविक मारे गए, उसके लिए इतने मीठे शब्दों में अनुनय-विनय? कि उनकी जान की रक्षा महत्वपूर्ण है? माना कि डिप्लोमैटिक बातचीत में आप किसी का कॉलर नहीं पकड़ सकते, लेकिन इतना घिघियाया भी नहीं जाता। आपको बोलना चाहिए था कि भारत शान्ति का पक्षधर ज़रूर है, लेकिन भारत की सेनाओं ने चूड़ियाँ नहीं पहन रखी हैं। अमेरिका की ऐसी कोई भी धृष्टता, हमारे सम्बन्ध हमेशा के लिए चौपट कर सकती है।
आप हाथ में पर्ची लिए एक-एक लाइन डर-डर के बोल रहे हैं, आपका हलक़ सूखा जा रहा है। बुला लीजिए किसी बॉडी लैंग्वेज एक्स्पर्ट को, और पूछिए उससे कि क्या ये विडीओ देख कर ऐसा नहीं लग रहा है कि शहंशाह के दरबार में बैठा एक मुलाज़िम, उस शहंशाह की शान में क़सीदे पढ़ रहा है?
पुराने ज़माने में अगर बादशाह सलामत किसी को चाकू फेंक कर मारें और निशाना चूक जाए तो दरबारी कहते थे कि 'ख़ंजर ने ना-फरमाबरदारी कर दी' मतलब चाकू ने महराज के आदेश की अवहेलना की है। आप भी कुछ वैसा करते नज़र आ रहे हैं।
@narendramodi जी, पूरी दुनिया में एक सनकी ने जीना हराम कर रखा है, और आप उसे 'शान्ति के प्रयासों' के लिए धन्यवाद कर रहे हैं?
बेहद शर्मनाक है ये!

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.
This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.
And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.
You paid $1,000 for a Samsung phone.
Samsung pre-installed dozens of apps you never asked for.
Facebook. Microsoft Office. Netflix. Samsung's own browser. Samsung's own email. Samsung's own calendar. Samsung's own notes. Samsung's own cloud. Samsung's own payment app. Samsung's own voice assistant.
Duplicates of apps you already use. Running in the background. Eating your battery. Using your storage. You cannot delete them. The delete button is greyed out.
You paid for the hardware. They control the software.
Xiaomi is worse. Pre-installed games. Shopping apps. Some serve full-screen ads on your phone.
Carriers add more. T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T each pre-install apps you will never open. Uninstall button? Greyed out.
Someone built a tool that removes every single one. No root needed.
It's called Universal Android Debloater. Written in Rust. Cross-platform GUI. Plug your phone in. Click. Gone.
→ Remove any pre-installed app. Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, Motorola, Nokia.
→ Remove carrier bloatware. T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and carriers worldwide.
→ No root required.
→ Restore anything you removed. One click.
→ Battery life improves immediately.
→ Storage freed. Gigabytes recovered.
→ Privacy improved. Fewer apps tracking you.
→ Community-maintained database of known bloatware.
→ Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Here's the wildest part:
The phone you paid for is not yours. It is a billboard you carry in your pocket. The manufacturer sold you hardware and then sold your attention to their partners.
This tool gives you YOUR phone back.
GPL-3.0. Written in Rust. Community-maintained.
But DO NOT use Universal Android Debloater.
We should all keep running dozens of apps we never installed on the phone we already paid for.
You can buy a six-bedroom country house in the hills of central Argentina for $1,075,000.
691 m² (7,500 ft²) on 10 hectares (25 acres). It sits on its own river, with a beach and a pond to swim in.
It sits near the town of Ascochinga, in the green sierras of central Argentina, on a paved road about 45 minutes from Córdoba airport and an hour from the city of Córdoba itself.
Inside there is a 130 m² living and dining room with two fireplaces, a playroom, and wide covered galleries looking over open country.
Four of the six bedrooms have their own bathroom, with central heating and air conditioning throughout, solar-heated water, security cameras, and fast internet.
Down near the water, there is a barbecue area and fire pit, along with a full football pitch and bocce court, all with power and running water, and a small stone grotto further out on the land.
Nearby this property are horse stables, polo clubs, golf courses, and old colonial towns.
A six-bedroom house, a private river, in the sierras of Argentina, with traditional Argentine culture and communities all around it.
Kenya is one of the most interesting emerging opportunities in Africa right now.
Nairobi is often called the Silicon Savannah for a reason. A growing technology sector, a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, and a position as the economic hub of East Africa. Property prices sit between $1,000 and $2,000 per square meter for apartments, with premium developments higher. Rental yields range from 6% to 9%.
The broader investment thesis is demographic. Kenya has one of the youngest and fastest-growing populations on the continent. Increasing urbanization, expanding technology adoption, and rising consumer spending. These trends are expected to drive housing and infrastructure demand for decades.
This is not a citizenship play. Kenya does not currently offer a citizenship-by-investment route. This is a real estate and economic growth opportunity in a region we believe has substantial long-term potential.
When our clients invest in emerging markets like Kenya, we do not just point them to a country and wish them luck. We are hands-on.
We scout and source properties that align with your specific investment and immigration objectives. We conduct due diligence on developers, titles, and legal structures. We arrange property viewings and coordinate with trusted local partners on the ground. And we provide guidance on property selection based on what matters to you: whether that is capital appreciation, lifestyle, rental yields, or a combination.
With thousands of global connections, we either have the right contact for your case or we find one. So you stay focused on what matters most: running your business, not chasing paperwork in a market you do not know.
Africa's demographic trends are not a secret. But knowing how to get in, what to buy, who to trust, and how it fits your broader international strategy is what separates smart money from lost money.
That is what we do.
