That's also a good point, electricity prices are much lower in China than in the US and Europe. See the article: "China’s Overlooked AI Energy Edge Over the US: Cheaper Energy"

The H100 is sold around 25k USD, with a production cost of only around $3k USD according to estimates. Also it is heavily export controlled meaning many countries can't get their hand on it. So even with the 910C consuming more electri

The ones that don't end up shut down, in legal trouble or in jail. See Lavabit, Tor Mail, Telegram, EncroChat, Sky ECC and others.

As I pointed out they also route all of their traffic through Cloudflare. They also have been caught red-handed logging the IP of an activist despite having previously advertised that they didn't keep any logs. Now they are using misle

This is pretty much the 101 on how to get "caught". It is laughable that they recommend using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and that there is not a single mention of things such as TOR. Regarding Proton specifically: - Proton has been

I tried it on a VM, it did work. [WIN + R] opens the run app down left in the left corner. [CRTL + V] pastes a small code snippet in the run app and once [ENTER] is pressed it closes the run app and in the background downloads and executes

There is also a technique where they ask you to press: [Win + R] + [CRTL + V] + [ENTER] to verify that you are human. This will install malware code that was put in the clipboard by using javascript.

When they receive a DMCA they will contact you and give you 24hours to reply and fix it. If you do not comply they will turn off your IP. However this is more related to EU regulation rather than Hetzner itself. Hosting things within the EU

Regarding the pricing here is what I would do: - Unlimited and free but basic metrics are public for everyone to see (similar to what Github did before) - Paid but priced at page view consumption, for example: 12,000 page views a month will

They don't need a warrant if OVH just hands it out to them which they do. But what really matters is that intelligence agencies are sniffing in your data at OVH and that the company wants you to think otherwise.

The key aspect here is that both Sky ECC and Encrochat got F. over by the modern day equivalent of Crypto AG which is the french hosting provider OVH. While intelligence agencies were pumping in real-time all the data from Encrochat's

In a sense the surveillance in the "west" and in particular in the EU is worse than what you have in China. At least the Chinese they know that all their conversations are being monitored and read by the government. In the EU many

True, probably the NSA wanted to smear the Chinese when in fact they are the ones implanting bugs in hardware.

If the mossad was able to plant explosives without being caught, I wouldn't be surprised if they also planted bugs (indiscriminately) in many electronic devices delivered to Lebanon such as TVs, computers, phones etc... Similar to the

In my case they did it at the store where I came to pick it up. That's how I got aware of it. The espionage agency in question was the french DGSI.

I guess it is better to weigh it just after the purchase from a random store and from there the weight should never change.

Intelligence agencies put their bugs within the hardware of electronic devices you order online. If you believe being the target of an intelligence agency never order anything online. They will put the bug inside, especially if it is an ele

I can really recommend HelloTalk which is a language learning app. Meetup.com also used to be a good option but not so much anymore.

He will likely be very careful with what he says given that he is out on bond and could be put in jail anytime.

The title is not correct IMO, it is not "end-to-end encrypted" by default. But the traffic between you and the Telegram server is always encrypted and the "end-to-end encryption" can be enabled.

The reason is clear. He wasn't sharing any personal and message data from its users with intelligence agencies and law enforcement. Even ProtonMail which wrongly claims to be a privacy safe heaven does so!

His mistake was to host content in the US. "Megaupload is based in Hong Kong, but some of the alleged pirated content was hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Va., which gave federal authorities jurisdiction, the indictment said."

Funny at first, but this could have been exploited maliciously by let's displaying a message telling the user he has been disconnected and redirecting him to a phishing page.
