A most likely outcome now is that a deal will be made to avoid jail time and he'll let EU do the backdoors or whatever they were asking politely first. Telegram has also tried to distance itself from TON crypto token, but it is so obvi

Musk doesn't have to answer to those investors. They must be passive investors, as everybody else. Their ownership is unlikely to have any influence. It also seems to be just a "status" investment. They are not getting much b

yeah, sounds like a "weird" vulnerability assuming it comes from a malicious text payload someone must deliberately insert into the own chat. Hard to fathom $20k prize for that, to us old-schoolers, used to at least expect explo

Is there a conspiracy? Why everyone is talking about heatpumps these days? Including in the UK. In Europe air conditioners come with heat-pumping functions since ages ago.. all installed aircons can heat or cool. But I personally found such
