Rip every radio out of your phone. It will still leak your inputs.

Capacitive touchscreens scan sequentially. Your finger touching the screen affects the local impedance and modulates the emissions.

Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone.

People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands.

I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years.

Obama White House account got hit.

These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised.

The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page).

Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie.

They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof.

And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face
.
Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did.

Point is even locked down accounts went down.

Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help.

You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call.

The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop.

One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it.

Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute.

Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

This chart should terrify policymakers. Indonesia’s middle class did not merely slow down. It went into reverse.

After two decades of expansion, the middle-class population peaked at 61.5 million people in 2018, representing 23% of the population. By 2026, that figure had fallen to just 46.6 million people, or 16.6%. That is not a cyclical slowdown. That is structural deterioration.

For years, policymakers celebrated GDP growth, infrastructure projects, commodity booms, and headline investment numbers. But the ultimate scorecard of an economy is whether ordinary people become wealthier over time. This chart suggests millions of Indonesians are moving in the opposite direction.

The middle class is the economic engine of every successful country. They buy homes, cars, insurance, consumer goods, education, travel, financial products, and healthcare. They generate tax revenue. They create small businesses. They drive domestic demand. When the middle class shrinks, the economy loses its most important customer.

The uncomfortable question is simple: where did the gains go? If GDP is growing, if conglomerates continue expanding, if commodity exports remain large, then why are fewer Indonesians qualifying as middle class than eight years ago?

More importantly, if you are born poor in Indonesia today, what ladder exactly are you supposed to climb?

If you are exceptionally good looking, perhaps you can monetize attention through social media. If you are academically gifted, perhaps you can break into an ultra-competitive institution like MBB, survive years of brutal expectations, and eventually use that platform to do something bigger. If you are entrepreneurial, maybe you build a business against overwhelming odds. If you are lucky, perhaps you benefit from family connections, inheritance, or access to opportunities unavailable to most people.

But an economy cannot rely on exceptionalism. A healthy economy creates millions of pathways upward, not a handful of lottery tickets.

The situation becomes even more concerning when you consider that well-paying white-collar jobs are becoming increasingly scarce. Many multinational companies that once established regional operations, technology centers, shared-service hubs, and professional offices in Indonesia have either downsized, relocated, or shifted future expansion elsewhere.

Those jobs were not valuable merely because of the salaries they paid. They were valuable because they transferred knowledge, management expertise, technical skills, global best practices, and professional networks into the local workforce. Over time, they helped develop intellectual capital that could later be recycled into entrepreneurship, leadership positions, startups, and domestic businesses.

When those opportunities disappear, the loss is not limited to employment. The country also loses a training ground for future managers, engineers, consultants, analysts, and business leaders. Human capital compounds just like financial capital. Once that pipeline weakens, rebuilding it can take years or even decades.

The bigger risk is that social mobility slows. When people stop believing hard work leads to a better life, trust in institutions weakens. Aspirations decline. Consumption slows. Talent leaves. The country’s most productive people increasingly look elsewhere for opportunity.

This is why Indonesia’s biggest economic challenge is no longer growth. It is upward mobility. A country cannot thrive without a growing middle class, a steady pipeline of high-quality jobs, and a clear path for ordinary people to join it. And right now, all three appear to be moving in the wrong direction.

@happylucky247 @dhanyindraswara biasanya cuma perusahaan yang punya hr/compben team jelek yg gak bisa lanjut offering tanpa share slip gaji. kalo mnc harusnya tim hrnya bagus dan gk mempermasalahkan kalo cand gk mau share payslip

[Wow @superglasses]

@alwaysthasame @HelloSystemD @karirfess Sah kalo diminta tapi sah juga kalo ditolak. Kalo sampe HRnya maksa karyawan untuk melanggar perjanjiannya, maka itu jelas tidak sah. Kalo valuasi karyawan masih ngandelin gaji sblmnya maka itu tanda HRnya gak canggih.

Hot takes:

Pelayanan publik harusnya emang gak libur weekend. Hanya libur saat hari libur nasional + cuti bersama.

Melayani cuma saat weekdays mah beban buat ekonomi. Ada orang yang kerja feenya harian kalau cuti buat ngurus gini artinya pelayanan publik lagi ngerem ekonomi.

Adik-adik, kakak-kakak semuanya. Kali ini gw mau bicara tentang sesuatu yang sudah menyiksa rakyat Indonesia selama bertahun-tahun. Bukan korupsi. Bukan inflasi. Tapi sesuatu yang lo rasain setiap kali mau mudik atau liburan dan buka aplikasi Traveloka, lalu langsung menutup aplikasinya lagi karena tidak sanggup melihat angkanya.

Yes. Tiket pesawat domestik Indonesia. Yang harganya bisa lebih mahal dari tiket ke luar negeri. Yang bikin relawan bencana harus muter lewat Malaysia dulu baru bisa ke Aceh. Yang udah dikeluhkan jutaan orang tapi tidak pernah beneran berubah.

Gw udah baca risetnya. Gw udah cek datanya. Dan sekarang gw mau cerita ke lo semua, pelan-pelan, dengan bahasa yang bisa dimengerti semua orang, kenapa ini terjadi dan siapa yang sebetulnya diuntungkan dari penderitaan kita bersama. 🧵

JUST IN: Indonesia is moving to cut ride-hailing platform commissions.

President Prabowo said drivers should get at least 92% of revenue, compared with the current 80%, implying platform cuts could drop from around 20% to below 10%.

Separately, the President said the government has signed Perpres No. 27/2026 on online transport worker protection.

The ride-hailing business model may be about to change significantly.

Presiden Prabowo resmi menandatangani Perpres No. 27 Tahun 2026 (1 Mei 2026), yang menjamin pengemudi ojol (ojek online) mendapatkan BPJS Kesehatan dan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (JKK/JKM), serta potongan tarif aplikator turun menjadi hanya 8%.
