Another day, another supply chain attack, this time Axios: https://t.co/hAHfJuv148
Makes me glad I'm lazy and intentional about dependency updates. But it's a worrying trend. Soon we'll be tracking these things by the hour.
Microsoft / GitHub injecting ads into CoPilot generated PRs: welcome to the future! https://t.co/AAydAyTYJU
(yes, this was a confirmed "feature" from someone on the CoPilot team; apparently they are disabling it after backlash)
When you stream Spotify to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, the audio comes over the network lossily compressed with Vorbis or AAC codecs, is then decoded on your device to 48 Khz raw samples, then the Bluetooth stack lossily re-compresses it with SBC or AAC codecs before sending it over the airwaves to the speakers.
I don’t have “golden ears” to pick apart audio quality like I can with, say, missing gamma correction on texture filtering, but that still hurts my system optimization soul. It is likely over-optimization, but It would be cleaner if there were a way to send bluetooth-ready, compressed audio directly.
I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.
These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
Do NOT install any agentic browsers like OpenAI Atlas that just launched.
Prompt injection attacks (malicious hidden prompts on websites) can easily hijack your computer, all your files and even log into your brokerage or banking using your credentials.
Don’t be a guinea pig.
if you’re an EE, CS, or cryptography student
write your thesis on public key cryptography at the image sensor level
Proof of Physical capture will become a backbone of society soon.
It has begun: AI tools are being used to perform OSINT to determine which orgs and people to target in a hack, write infostealer malware, determine the right ransom amount per victim, organize stolen documents, and write the emails.
AI doesn’t change the attack, it SCALES it.
Defcon = Fedcon
How far the hacker culture has fallen. And while both the UN and WEF have a 2030 global agenda (literally on their websites go look) to force digital id, digital wallets, forced biometrics, internet id verification, backdoored e2e encryption, clientside scanning, algorithm + narrative control online, speech censorship laws, en masse biometrics cameras and license plate reader deployments, etc.
Hacker's literally welcoming global all encompassing surveillance with open arms....
Everybody knows about E2EE Messengers, Private Browsers and VPNs...
But when you need something else, sometimes it's almost impossible to find an alternative to closed source software.
So here are 12 Open Source apps I use daily on my phone👇
