Facebook/Google have a history of abusing hidden iOS APIs and exploiting weaknesses in the app isolation. It's plausible they found a way to read the output stream of the text-to-speech module from their apps, until Apple was forc

Imagine you work in a three letter agency and discover that a certain guy has a vital role in an issue you are investigating. You don't want to just bug his iPhone from now on, you want to know everything he said over the past two year

At its core it has striking similarities with a freeze response, which is overcome by increasing heart rate (e.g. stimulants, exercise, temperature shock). Big overlap with CPTSD symptoms as well.

Is there even a US-based testosterone supply chain? Or was the idea to inject all their service members with a product from overseas that could have supply problems or subtle strategic "impurities"?

After recent US shenanigans why would you spend effort to migrate to yet another Five Eyes controlled service, especially if they do the full "privacy from Germany" circus. What kind of security threat does a migration to such a s

Some of them are located in Virginia, don't worry they'll be funded forever.

This has been happening since many months.

That's quite a reach. More likely someone merged and deployed their vibe-coded PR and is now figuring out how to bring the service back up. If there's a lot of demand for rollercoaster rides, the rollercoaster will not stop operat

During each forced workflow interruption I look for alternatives. No matter if I can't use the product due to a server outage or due to their weird quota limitations. This can't be good for retention numbers. Old-school VCs would&

I can only see the color visualization and the hex view. Maybe I can't see the curve due to lack of WebGL?

It looks neat but I have no idea how the clustering works or why uniform colors are assigned to large areas, e.g. the color blue in the pdf example.

Rookie mistake - it seems like they didn't follow manufacturers' guidance when installing the 10x engineers. One needs to clearly define which metric should be 10x'd before powering them up.

Other comments tied this report into the cute and nerdy NSA/PRISM scheme of things. That's too easy. If CIA is involved, it's a topic that's actually important for global nobility. CIA scope includes things like Hollywoo

It's not like CIA has some mastermind strategy, it is also a preferred career for old money nepo kids who gain quasi-global legal immunity from these government roles. CIA job is much better than being a honorary consul for some shitho

People talk a lot about metadata collection but not about DNA collection. It is imperative for any intelligence service to know if any politically exposed person has a child, especially if it spawns from an affair. Logically, we have to ass

I'm just thinking that someone who has 100k LinkedIn followers might be happy about any type of engagement, including nerdy rage bait.

It's quite painful to resolve cognitive dissonance, so I understand the downvotes for your comment. People are clever enough to reach high level corporate roles, but at the same time they're are too weak to emotionally process the

I think it's a stretch to call OP doing a "witch-hunt" here. That Android guy is a mini LinkedIn celebrity with 100k followers.

There's this famous line item which is called something like "securities sold but not yet purchased", e.g. with their market maker privilege Citadel can create infinite synthetic shares out of thin air to facilitate that a tr

Are they "trading" or "high-frequency-ripping-off-retail-investors"? It's easy to make paper billions with synthetic shares and infinite deadline extensions for settlement. I'm old and still remember when Ken G

The constitutional monarchies respect each others' land ownership and colonies, but in terms of actual power the British Crown dwarfs everything, especially if one correctly recognizes the USA as their vassal state. Outside of this the

Unfortunately I can't check how traffic flows from France to Switzerland because I'm not in France. My traffic from Germany passes through a British-owned hop on its way to Switzerland. My German ISP is British as well so either w

I'd be surprised if there is a single route from EU to non-EU countries which does not pass through British control.

Same for the origin IP address. The fiber leaving your country is tapped, and those people can inject packets with any origin IP that they want. Your ISP has no way to check if their peer actually received a certain packet from a certain co
