If a nation state is after you you're going to need a lot more opsec than telegram can offer you.

Nice tool. I wish it would incorporate something like iodine though for really restrictive networks or ones with login portals. DNS almost always gets through.

Fairphone is only one example. There are many repairable designs that are waterproof. For example Samsung's XCover series can be opened, have removable batteries and are waterproof. It's a matter of priorities, waterproofing just

The pc CD-Rom version also had beautiful cutscenes, a movie clip and music. I liked it much more than Dune II thigh the replay value of the latter was much better. But I feel much more love for Dune I.

The underlying idea of the right to repair program is for companies to start designing their stuff with self-repair in mind. It's not only about making spare parts available. So that you don't need hundreds of dollars of equipme

This is a problem with Hetzner yes. Last time they wanted a copy of my ID. I blacked out my social security number as this is considered private for Dutch citizens (even the police advises people to black this part out) and it took some arg

In Europe the automated face scan is optional. You can also choose to go to a real customs agent. And the fact that privacy is currently a gone thing in air travel doesn't mean we should keep adding tech that cements the status quo, we

Here in Europe kubii does preorders for list price. I got my 400 with 3 or so weeks waiting. But yeah they really have to start solving this issue otherwise raspberry is just going to become obsolete.

We do, I've not come across a locked device in recent years. Only the cheapest prepaid ones still are. Most people I know don't buy them with a contract anyway, they just buy the device outright. Obviously it's always unlocke

Samsung isn't actually that bad. They augment parts of Android's security model under the 'knox' branding (which is mostly marketing, yes, but they do improve a few things, especially because their Enterprise users ask f

Wake on network in macOS settings is actually not what this is for. It's for listening to wake on LAN packets. Linus got this wrong in his video. The "modern standby" feature on macs is called power nap: https://su

What I do on my work Thinkpad is disabling standby altogether. I just let it hibernate. Windows 10 and 11 are very quick at restoring. Not instant but good enough.

But you're not accounting for the latency added by the many satellite hops needed to get there :) Every sat will need to do queueing and signal processing.

Even if they're defensive weapons only? I think Reagan's star wars program was cancelled only because the Russian threat was not as big anymore. Not because of weapons in space concerns. FWIW only WMDs are really banned in space.

Basically like Iridium V1. It went bankrupt and only when the network was bought for dimes on the dollar did it become profitable. Eventually it did find a sustainable business model though even for its new satellites.

One of the things I really hate about the macOS login UX is that it doesn't give any information about what's going on. For example when an AD account is locked or your account is valid but you don't have access to log in to
