The government promised you clarity on Bitcoin. What you actually got: developers in handcuffs, a "strategic reserve" built on an executive order — not a law, not an act, not an amendment — a CLARITY Act riddled with national security carve-outs and an ethics clause that nearly torched the whole thing, and a DOJ quietly deploying Minority Report-style pre-crime AI to flag your wallet before you've done anything wrong. In this episode, Rustin breaks down the Samourai Wallet prosecution, the Tornado Cash verdict, the GrapheneOS border case that proves your phone is a battlefield, and NSPM-7 — then connects every dot to the one thesis they don't want you to reach: you cannot indict a protocol, you cannot arrest mathematics, and every act of state repression against Bitcoin builders is the most powerful Bitcoin adoption campaign the government never meant to run.

Episode SummaryOto sits down with Hakeem Anwar — founder of #TakeBackOurTech and Above, a privacy-first phone, laptop, and communications company — to map out exactly how the surveillance system works and what people can actually do about it.They trace Hakeem's path from a decade-deep conspiracy rabbit hole through a big-tech career to founding Above after COVID convinced him he was "coding his own prison."From there the conversation covers the AI data center boom (and the free tool Hakeem built, aidatacentermap.org, to track its water and power use), Palantir's "unified surveillance" model, the push toward digital ID, why he's grown wary of Bitcoin's transparency, and a live demo of de-Googled phones, offline maps, and the F-Droid app store.They close on Hakeem's long-term vision: small communities running their own local servers and mesh networks, fully independent of Big Tech.Chapters / Timestamps(Shifted +1:05 to account for the trailer at the top of the episode)00:00 – Trailer01:05 – Intro & Hakeem's Red Pill Moment03:05 – Rabbit Holes: From Conspiracy to Big Tech04:05 – COVID, Freedom Cells & the Pivot to Above08:05 – Why Privacy Matters: From Snowden to Data Brokers10:05 – Brainwaves, EEGs & Where the Surveillance Line Stops11:05 – The Data Center Boom: Four Theories on Why13:05 – Inside AIDataCenterMap.org: Mapping Power & Water Use16:05 – The Hidden Cost: Heat Islands & Water Wars17:05 – San Marcos, Texas: How One Town Pushed Back19:05 – Arizona's Data Center Gold Rush21:05 – Wi-Fi Sensing, EMF & the Surveillance Feedback Loop26:05 – Palantir & Unified Surveillance28:05 – Digital ID: Why Nigeria Is Getting $200M to Build It29:05 – Terms & Conditions: What Are You Really Agreeing To?31:05 – Going Private: Why Oto Is Ready to Ditch His iPhone32:05 – Inside F-Droid: The Open-Source App Store34:05 – Is Bitcoin Compromised?

The AI industry spent the week arguing with itself, which is honestly the healthiest thing it's done in years. One coalition led by Nvidia begged regulators not to slow down open AI models, while more than 1,100 AI workers signed another letter asking regulators to do exactly that. Anthropic warned about bioweapons, OpenAI admitted the four-hour workweek isn't happening after all, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella reminded everyone that building your entire business on someone else's AI is a fantastic way to outsource your own brain. In other words, the people selling the future still can't agree on what they're selling, except that you'd better buy it fast.Meanwhile, the AI bubble keeps demanding sacrifices. Patreon, BuzzFeed, and Uber all swung the layoff axe while insisting AI isn't replacing humans... it's just reorganizing them out of a paycheck. Nvidia is floating another three-quarters of a trillion dollars in infrastructure deals that have people muttering "AI subprime mortgage crisis," China has discovered there's money in renting your face to AI companies, and the U.S. is carving data centers out of pollution rules because apparently acid rain is a small price to pay for chatbot dominance. Add in ChatGPT suddenly refusing to imitate famous authors, researchers discovering AI coding assistants are happily installing malware if you ask nicely, and Meta launching an ad campaign about the wonders of AI that somehow forgets to mention what any of those wonders actually are.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, eBay finally paid the price for its executives' unhinged harassment campaign involving pig masks and live insects, Elon is shopping The Boring Company while promising money won't matter in the AI utopia of 2036, and a traveler is headed to court after allegedly triggering GrapheneOS's "duress PIN" during a border search. We also hit Media Candy with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Silo, Blade Runner 2099 and Neuromancer, celebrate Dave Bittner's birthday, marvel at Jason's ever-growing Boneyard of dead websites, and somehow end up discussing thermal cameras, piano repair, and old-man bladder supplements. Because that's what happens when Gen X gets older - we just add more tabs instead of closing the old ones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

This week, Dave and Ben discuss two major stories. The first story assess the recent incident where a rogue OpenAI agent escaped its environment and successfully targeted Hugging Face. Additionally, the two also look at an incident where a man was targeted after he reportedly wiped his phone using GrapheneOS. Afterwards, Dave sits down with Asha Palmer, SVP of Compliance Solutions at Skillsoft, to look at the lack of any federal AI law in the US. While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney.

Lawrence Lepard on bear market psychology. Everyone is short-term, negative, and attacking each other over BIP110 and Saylor. His read: we are winning, this is the moment to get friends buying, and he expects much higher highs within 18 to 24 months. The big print thesis. Lepard is watching the yen carry trade, a near-vertical Japanese 10-year, and the US 10-year at 4.70 with 5% as the Fed's red line. Druckenmiller-adjacent circles think Japan breaks first. "The math ain't mathing." A roughly $2T deficit while total debt grew $3.5T in twelve months. Hank Paulson resurfacing after fifteen years to suggest a Fed break-the-glass program reads to Lepard as a trial balloon for the big print. Reading Kevin Warsh. Lepard's take: Warsh is abandoning the Phillips curve for a supply-side inflation story, talks like a balance-sheet hawk for the bond market's benefit, and will likely cut in September. Fed governor hawkishness is kabuki. The AI credit crack. Cory: Nvidia credit default swaps blew out overnight, Korea down 11% and chipmakers 13%. Oracle sits one notch above junk at 6x leverage. Lepard adds $3.8T trapped in private equity and private credit, all mismarked. Socialism for the rich. Frank Corva, reporting from New York, argues the US is not capitalist: Altman and Amodei asking Washington for stakes is the state picking winners. Cory's framing, via Saifedean, is that taking from everyone to give to your friends is the harder sell. US versus China capitalism. Cory: America anoints monopolies and builds regulatory moats, while the CCP directs investment from the top then permits cutthroat competition. It happened in EVs and it is happening in AI. Open-weight Chinese models are the destabilizer. A live bear debate. Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research brought three objections: private money has failed before, Bitcoin is not a real asset, and fixed supply breaks an economy. Cory and Lepard countered that a protocol with no issuer is not private money. First duress-code prosecution. Samuel Tunick, an American citizen, was pulled into secondary inspection at Atlanta, pressured for his phone passcode, and entered a GrapheneOS duress code that wiped it. He is now charged federally with destroying property to prevent seizure. Adoption from the actual front lines. Corva on the Kibera slum's Afribit circular economy, single mothers saving for college, India cracking down on BitChat alongside Signal and Telegram, and Indonesia approving Fedi ecash. His hill to die on: Bitcoin is money.
In dieser Folge wird es erst persönlich, dann technisch – und schließlich ziemlich grundsätzlich. Nach einem lockeren Einstieg über singende Noise-Cancelling-Kopfhörer, Burger-Müll und clevere McDrive-Ideen diskutieren Rüdiger und Tobias eines der brisantesten KI-Themen des Jahres: Eine KI von OpenAI soll eigenständig aus ihrer Testumgebung ausgebrochen sein und ein anderes Unternehmen angegriffen haben. Was bedeutet das für Sicherheit, Verantwortung und Regulierung? Außerdem geht es um KI-Training mit zerstörten Büchern, versehentlich veröffentlichte Versicherungsdaten, Werbeeinblendungen auf Monitoren, Datenschutz bei Smart-TVs und neue Tricks für Mac- und iPhone-Nutzer. Zum Abschluss wird es noch einmal philosophisch: Wie viel Privatsphäre bleibt uns künftig eigentlich noch? Themen dieser Folge:
PEBCAK Podcast: Information Security News by Some All Around Good People
Welcome to this week's episode of the PEBCAK Podcast! We've got three amazing stories this week so sit back, relax, and keep being awesome! Be sure to stick around for our Dad Joke of the Week. (DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast Please share this podcast with someone you know! It helps us grow the podcast and we really appreciate it! Simple 6 signup link https://simple6.co/r/CFUR98 Hugging Face allegedly had to fall back on China's GLM 5.2 to investigate the OpenAI hack after US frontier models refused to help with forensic analysis, unable to distinguish attacker from defender. - https://x.com/coinbureau/status/2079663328021057654?s=46 - https://x.com/t3chfalcon/status/2079998873183949221 Per the claim, safety guardrails on US frontier models blocked forensic assistance during the incident response because the models couldn't tell the investigating security team apart from the attacker, forcing Hugging Face to run GLM 5.2 on its own servers to complete the analysis — a notable reversal given the assumption that domestic models would be the trusted fallback in a crisis. VW drivers running GrapheneOS say the automaker's app has locked them out entirely, deepening fears carmakers are forcing users back into Google's ecosystem. VW has now confirmed to German outlet heise that it deliberately blocked GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and /e/OS users via Google's Play Integrity API — the same certification gatekeeper already used by Barclays, HSBC, Monzo, Netflix, and Disney+. - https://cybernews.com/privacy/volkswagen-grapheneos-app-issues/ - https://x.com/intcyberdigest/status/2079992915972018246?s=46 - https://x.com/orwellday/status/2079704437241610443?s=46 Roughly 500,000 GrapheneOS users are affected; VW's app still supports outdated Android versions but rejects the privacy-focused OS, and VW told one user GrapheneOS "is not an official Volkswagen offering." The lockout follows a recent VW API change that also cut off third-party smart-charging and home-automation tools, raising questions about EU Data Act compliance. A 19-year-old alleged Scattered Spider member's globe-trotting VPN op-sec got shredded by a Windows telemetry ID he probably didn't know existed. - https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-device-identifier-tracking/ Peter Stokes (dual US-Estonian, 19) allegedly ran an $8M extortion hit on a luxury retailer using voice-phishing, ngrok tunneling, and 77GB of S3 exfil — but the FBI cross-referenced his Microsoft Global Device Identifier (GDID) across Apple, Snapchat, Facebook, and even a Ubisoft login to place the same device on the same IPs in Tallinn, NYC, and Thailand, matching his travel records. Microsoft has since acknowledged using the GDID to track the user across three countries — meaning the VPN masked his network endpoint, but the GDID rendered that protection moot.

Why every face database is a breach-in-waiting.05Tools to Own the Stack.Three open-source projects worth your time — one per fight: DeFlock, SimpleX Chat, and GrapheneOS.Timestamps are estimates based on segment order — update after the final edit.00:00Cold Open & Episode Rundown02:00The Man Who Built FISA08:30EU Chat Control Update14:30SCOTUS, Flock & the Cameras20:00Your Face Is a Password You Can't Change25:00Tools to Own the Stack28:00OutroSEGMENT TAKEAWAYSThe Man Who Built FISAFISA (1978) was sold as a reform, but it legitimized surveillance the government had previously run with no statute at all.The FISA court rarely says no because the real filtering was designed to happen upstream, inside the FBI.Bowman built that pipeline — embedded lawyers, months of review, personal sign-off. After he left in 2006, it went passive.The Carter Page applications (17+ errors; a doctored email; a guilty plea) showed the cost.2008's Amendments Act created Section 702 — blanket categories, no named targets, a queryable database of Americans' data.Thesis: the danger isn't who builds a surveillance system — it's everyone who inherits it.EU Chat ControlTwo proposals, one name: 1.0 (temporary, voluntary) vs. 2.0 / CSAR (permanent, mandatory).26 Mar 2026: Parliament rejected the temporary rules 307–306; the derogation expired 3 April.9 Jul 2026: more MEPs voted to kill the revived scheme than keep it (reported 314–276), but rejecting the Council needed 361 votes. It survived — extended to 3 April 2028, with an E2E carve-out.The permanent CSAR could be adopted as soon as October 2026.Client-side scanning is the core danger; 500+ scientists call it infeasible; Signal would exit the EU. Watch Germany.SCOTUS, Flock & the CamerasChatrie v. United States (29 Jun 2026, 6–3): a geofence is a 'search'; police generally need a warrant. Built on Carpenter (2018).The Court didn't ban geofence warrants and never mentioned ALPRs — a principle above a system it doesn't touch.Scale: 113,000+ cameras; ~20B detections/month across ~5,000 departments vs. ~240M drivers.A 2 Jul 2026 ACLU report documented Flock misleading councils (the Oshkosh 'heat map' reversal).At least 82 jurisdictions have canceled ALPR contracts. The durable fix is local — stop collection.Your Face Is a Password You Can't ChangeMSG breached by ShinyHunters via a phishing call; ~45GB / ~26M claimed records, including facial-recognition records and threat profiles.MSG used facial recognition for years — including to bar opposing lawyers. Second breach in under a year; class actions filed.A pattern, not an accident: Clearview's client list leaked in 2020; Mercor exposed biometrics + ID docs in April 2026.Biometrics are irreversible — you can't reissue your face.

Fin mai, l'ONG Nothing2Hide organise un festival dédié à la sécurité numérique et à la protection de l'information. Dans cet épisode de « L'atelier des médias », Grégoire Pouget, directeur de l'association, nous explique pourquoi l'hégémonie de Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon ou encore Microsoft menace nos libertés et comment entamer concrètement une transition vers des outils libres et décentralisés. Plutôt que de se réunir dans un lieu unique, le festival de Nothing2Hide, du 27 au 30 mai 2026, sera décentralisé et à la fois hors ligne et en ligne. Au total, plus d'une vingtaine d'ateliers seront organisés pour mieux utiliser la technologie comme un « outil de protection de l'information pour renforcer les démocraties », pour reprendre le mantra de Nothing2Hide. Pour Grégoire Pouget, ces moments d'échange sont essentiels dans un monde où le réel et le numérique sont de plus en plus interliés. Le festival propose ainsi des formations à la cybersécurité, à l'OSINT (recherche d'information en sources ouvertes) ou encore des « install parties » pour donner une seconde vie à de vieux ordinateurs. Pourquoi sortir des GAFAM ? Au cœur de cet événement, un atelier sera intitulé « Comment sortir des Gafam ». Pour Grégoire Pouget, qui l'animera, l'urgence est d'abord politique et stratégique. La centralisation extrême des services entre les mains de quelques géants américains représente une fragilité systémique. L'invité cite notamment l'exemple du procureur général de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI), Karim Khan, dont Microsoft a coupé l'accès aux mails sous la pression de l'administration Trump. « On est extrêmement fragilisé par cette mainmise des entreprises américaines sur les services numériques », prévient-il. À cela s'ajoute le problème de la surveillance et de la marchandisation de l'intimité, illustré par des cas de transmission de données privées aux autorités dans des contextes politiques sensibles. Les alternatives : reprendre le contrôle de ses données Sortir de cet écosystème n'est pas une question de fainéantise, mais d'abord d'absence de visibilité des aternatives. Grégoire Pouget évoque l'« effet frigidaire » : nous utilisons les noms des marques (« googler », « instagrammable ») pour désigner des actions, ce qui invisibilise les alternatives existantes. Pourtant, des solutions fiables existent pour chaque usage : Messagerie instantanée : Préférer Signal (géré par une fondation) ou Element à WhatsApp. Courriels : Remplacer Gmail ou Outlook par Proton ou Tuta, qui proposent un chiffrement de bout en bout. Bureautique et Cloud : Utiliser Nextcloud pour l'hébergement de fichiers et le travail collaboratif, ou les suites de Proton et Infomaniak (kSuite). Cartographie : Adopter OpenStreetMap ou l'application mobile OsmAnd à la place de Google Maps. Systèmes mobiles : Explorer des versions dé-googlisées d'Android comme e/OS ou GrapheneOS. Un investissement pour l'avenir Si la gratuité apparente des GAFAM est séduisante, elle a un prix caché : chaque utilisateur rapporterait environ 160 dollars par an à Google via ses données, rappelle Grégoire Pouget. Il invite donc à investir dans des services payants ou à soutenir des démarches plus saines : « Investir dans des solutions libres et décentralisées, c'est comme planter un arbre. Ça prend du temps, mais ça porte ses fruits sur le long terme. » La gendarmerie française, passée sous Linux il y a 20 ans, aurait ainsi économisé 500 millions d'euros. Reprendre sa souveraineté numérique est donc un choix éthique, mais aussi un pari économique qui peut s'avérer gagnant pour la société.
A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBAll aboard the vibe trainFTF with Max TQ got some holidays coming upKeonne appealNEWSBisq v1 trade protocol exploit: 11.59 BTC drained, fully reimbursed, hardening shipped in 1.10.0 (bisq.community PSA, Bisq on X, reimbursement plan on GitHub)Disclosed: 2026-05-01Bisq's v1 trade protocol had a missing validation check on taker-side input. Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change. Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as Bisq 1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening. The Bisq team explicitly flagged the incident as a likely AI-assisted exploit, though they did not detail how AI was used.Sterlingov Appeal: The Criminalization of Privacy (therage.co)Published: 2026-05-12The appellate court reviewing Roman Sterlingov's Bitcoin Fog conviction openly suggested that mixers remain "legal in theory but not practice" once criminals use them.

Hakeem Anwar is a software engineer with over 20 years in tech, and the founder and CEO of Above Phone, a conscious technology company building open source phones, laptops, and software services that free people from reliance on Big Tech. After years of building web and mobile apps for large corporations, he walked away from corporate life during Covid. He also runs Take Back Our Tech, a weekly show covering the biggest stories in tech - always with solutions. Hakeem has done extensive research into the global digital ID rollout, co-authoring the "Life Under Digital ID" report, which maps how 90% of countries already have operational digital ID or will within three years. In this conversation, we discuss global standards enabling biometric interoperability across borders, why "voluntary" always becomes mandatory, and Hakeem demonstrates the Above Phone on screen, making the case for why the window to migrate to open protocols is closing faster than most people realize.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

“L’eCommerce è entrato nella routine dell’acquisto quotidiano per oltre 35 milioni di persone ma le imprese italiane non tengono il passo con la scalabilità e la crescita di cui c’è bisogno per creare competitività” dice al nostro microfono Roberto Liscia, presidente del Consorzio del Commercio Digitale Italiano, fotografando l’andamento del’eCommerce nel nostro Paese in occasione di Netcomm Forum.Gli esperti di informatica forense ricavano dagli smartphone una enorme e preziosa quantità di dati e a volte scoprono cose sulla nostra vita che noi ci siamo dimenticati. Ma in questa attività, spiega Paolo Dal Checco, esperto di cybersecurity e informatica forense, c’è una novità: GrapheneOS. Un nuovo sistema operativo per smartphone (per ora per Pixel e a breve per Motorola) progettato con una maggiore attenzione alla privacy dei dati. Interessante per consumatori e aziende.Sappiamo quanto possa essere complicata per le aziende la gestione degli adempimenti fiscali ma la tecnologia può aiutare ad automatizzare una parte del lavoro. Ne parliamo con Antonino Caccamo, co fondatore e CTO di A-Cube, azienda che ha recentemente chiuso un round di investimenti da 4 milioni di euro.

(Presented by TLPBLACK: A cybersecurity intelligence platform focused on sharing curated, high-sensitivity threat insights and research with trusted security professionals.) Three Buddy Problem - Episode 95: Vigilant Labs director Mark Dowd joins the show to shed light on the state of offensive research, the economics of the exploit market, and why "Mark Dowd in a box" isn't quite the threat the AI hype machine suggests. He talks through the daily stresses of running an offensive shop, how AI is reshaping vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and the pricing of full exploit chains. Plus, thoughts on Lockdown Mode and Apple's MIE, whether mitigations actually work or just push attackers toward less access, the rise of HarmonyOS and the Balkanization of device security, persistence, baseband attacks, GrapheneOS, and Samsung Knox. We discuss customer vetting and OpSec fears, policymakers who've never written an exploit, and the strange afterlife of The Art of Software Security Assessment, the 20-year-old book now possibly training data for the very tools coming for his job.

Amir Taaki is one of the first Bitcoin developers to join the project and today he stands out as one of the most prominent cypherpunks and privacy advocates. Currently, he is working towards building DarkFi. Harry Halpin is one of the most prominent privacy advocates in academia, and an entrepreneur who focuses on maximizing human rights. Today, he is the CEO of Nym and he works towards normalizing privacy. Christopher Cialone is a big privacy advocate whose current focus is to free the Tornado Cash devs (especially Roman Storm) and the Samourai Wallet devs. In this episode, we talk about everything privacy. Time stamps: 00:01:13 –Introducing Amir Zaki, Harry Halpin, Christopher Cialone 00:02:17 – Harry Halpin discusses Palantir CEO Alex Karp's advocacy for a corporate-state surveillance apparatus and automated AI weapons to ensure US dominance. 00:05:05 – Halpin critiques the Silicon Valley mindset that glorifies war and surveillance, contrasting it with the harsh realities of authoritarian regimes. 00:07:30 – Why programmers should build privacy-enhancing technologies to resist the rise of authoritarianism and mass surveillance. 00:18:26 – Vlad questions whether the US must abandon ethics to compete technologically with authoritarian states like China. 00:19:37 – Harry Halpin argues that true technological innovation comes from freedom and decentralization, not by copying authoritarian control systems. 00:24:34 – Christopher Cialone discusses the Tornado Cash case, where the government is attempting to redefine privacy and stifle innovation. 00:26:14 – Christopher Cialone expresses frustration over the developer community's general silence on legal battles that threaten their freedom to build. 00:33:58 – Neither political party will save crypto developers, citing ongoing prosecutions under different administrations. 00:35:27 – Harry Halpin highlights the hypocrisy of prosecuting legitimate privacy tool developers while ignoring scammers, revealing the state's true priorities. 00:39:02 – Christopher Cialone laments the cultural shift in New York post-COVID, noting increased compliance and a loss of rebellious spirit. 00:39:42 – Prosecutors are accused of deliberately misrepresenting technology to secure convictions against developers like Roman Storm. 00:44:33 – Harry Halpin prepares to leave the show, receives a Zcash giveaway sponsored by Cake Wallet. 00:49:49 – Vlad argues that Bitcoin's privacy development died when Samourai Wallet developers were arrested, causing a chilling effect. 00:53:19 – Amir Taaki advocates for using cyberpunk technology to build parallel systems and reclaim power from a corrupt government. 00:58:03 – Amir reminisces about the early, freer days of the internet and calls for creating a more fun, sovereign online world. 01:01:59 – Amir Taaki provides an update on the DarkFi project, mentioning the upcoming wallet app, bridge development, and marketing plans. 01:03:32 – Amir recounts being detained and deported from multiple countries, suggesting a pattern of targeting figures in the crypto privacy space. 01:11:17 – Amir explains how to deal with government psychological operations by remaining calm, rational, and focused on the primary mission. 01:16:09 – The shift from believing in a single objective truth to understanding diverse values and realities. 01:19:03 – Amir Taaki describes the ongoing arms race between those diminishing privacy and those building new tools to preserve freedom online. 01:23:38 – The conversation shifts to how AI, controlled by superpowers through semiconductor production, can be weaponized against individuals and businesses. 01:26:53 – Taaki discusses the use of AI systems like Palantir's AIP and Israel's "Lavender" to automate targeting and killing in warfare. 01:36:22 – Pactical privacy tips, including using Tor, Linux, fire-jailed AI, GrapheneOS, and privacy-focused VPNs. 01:40:17 – The discussion covers recommended VPNs that respect user privacy and browsers like Firefox and Brave for a safer online experience. 01:48:00 – The Zcash giveaway & show sponsors: Sideshift, Layer Two Labs, Orange Rock, Braiins Hash Power, Cake Wallet 01:57:49 – The story behind the Zcash wallet's rebranding from Zashi to ZODL due to a conflict with the Electric Coin Company. 02:01:15 – The significance of zero-knowledge proofs, their origins, and their use in projects like Zcash and Tornado Cash. 02:30:09 – Amir Taaki jokes about how easy it is to anger Bitcoiners by stating factual criticisms, particularly about the Lightning Network. 02:30:48 – Why the Lightning Network failed.
this episode, we dive into a packed lineup! We break down Motorola's surprising alignment with GrapheneOS and what that means for privacy-focused Android users, alongside a quick explainer of the OS itself. From there, we look at VitaLink's ambitious foldable device, cramming a 13-inch screen and keyboard into a single slab at a surprisingly low Kickstarter price, and Audio-Technica's eye-watering £1,700 AT-LPA2 turntable aimed squarely at audiophiles. We also explore Waveshare's £150 handheld Linux machine that challenges the need for a traditional laptop, before shifting gears to Google's crackdown on "back button hijacking" tactics used by some websites. Finally, we unpack the controversy around claims that Microsoft and LinkedIn have been "illegally searching" users' computers, and what it could mean for trust in big tech.

Christopher war im Urlaub - also ist einiges aufzuarbeiten. In Abwesenheit des Co-Hosts hat die AI große und unerwartete Fortschritte bei der Suche nach Sicherheitslücken gemacht, was Sylvester an einem Beispiel im populären Editor vim nacherzählt. Der KI-Firma Anthropic ist Quellcode für Claude Code, der durch Claude Code gecoded wurde, entfleucht und offenbart allerlei humorige Details. Weniger humorig waren die Osterfeiertage für Kunden der CA D-Trust, die wegen einer fatalen Formalität ihre TLS-Zertifikate austauschen mussten. Und für dreißig Routerbesitzer in Deutschland, die durch die Behörden, allen voran Verfassungsschutz und BSI, auf die Sicherheitslücken in ihren Geräten angesprochen wurden. Und dann waren da noch zwei Forschungsaufsätze zum Thema Quantencomputer, die die Fachwelt aufscheuchen. So gibt es nun weitere Details über theoretische Durchbrüche, die den Wechsel zu quantensicheren Verfahren deutlich dringender machen. Bei Christopher ist der Ton ab und zu etwas ungleichmäßig, weil er den Kopf ein paar Mal fahrlässigerweise vom Mikro weggedreht hat. Wir bitten die Schwankungen zu entschuldigen und werden Christophers Kopf bei künftigen Aufnahmen mit technischen Mitteln fixieren.
Christopher und Sylvester haben viel Feedback zur Podcastfolge über GrapheneOS bekommen und eröffnen diese Episode mit den diversen Kommentaren und Tipps ihrer Hörer und Hörerinnen. Anschließend geht es unter anderem um Bugs in aktuellen Mailclients, Bugs in sehr alten Betriebssystemen, Bugs, bei denen die Polizei kommt, und solche, bei denen sie es nicht tut. Die Hosts sehen sich außerdem Post-Quantum- Pläne von Google an (dort drängt offenbar die Zeit) und gleich zwei Exploit-Kits gegen recht aktuelle iPhones, die kürzlich bekannt wurden.

In this live episode from Denver, we rally behind the Samourai Wallet developers, Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill, who are serving federal prison sentences for building noncustodial privacy software. We preview our evening event and planned livestream with Lauren Rodriguez—who then drops in mid-show to share first-hand updates on the case, including SDNY's aggressive jurisdiction tactics, the judge swap that curtailed their defense, and why Treasury guidance and DOJ memos haven't protected developers from novel prosecutorial theories. We discuss the broader stakes for Bitcoin, open-source development, Lightning compliance, and how these precedents could chill freedom tech far beyond privacy wallets. We close with concrete ways to help—signing the pardon petition, writing letters to Keonne, spreading awareness—and dive into updates on open-source mining: Mujina community momentum, GrapheneOS shifts, and new Antminer control board hacks enabling USB Wi‑Fi and custom firmware, all powered by rapid AI-enabled development. How to support: Sign the change.org/billandkeonne petition for Bill and Keonne, write letters to Keonne, amplify the case on social channels, and catch the fireside chat replay if you missed the livestream.
Der Werbekonzern Google lauscht auf Android-Smartphones mit und räumt seinen Apps und Play-Diensten besondere Privilegien ein. Die Hoheit auf dem eigenen Mobilgerät gewinnt man durch die Installation von alternativen Android-Varianten, den „Custom-ROMs“. Doch auch wer sich davor scheut, kann mit einfachen Einstellungen den Datenschutz am vorinstallierten System verbessern. In der neuen Folge von c't uplink erläutern die c't-Redakteure Stefan Porteck und Jörg Wirtgen die relevanten Android-Alternativen vor. Sie vergleichen im Gespräch mit Moderator Keywan Tonekaboni die wichtigsten Custom-ROMs: GrapheneOS setzt auf maximale Sicherheit, läuft aber bisher ausschließlich auf Googles Pixel-Handys – etwas ironisch, wenn man von Google weg will. Das bleibt nicht so, da das GrapheneOS-Team eine Partnerschaft mit dem Handy-Hersteller Motorola eingegangen ist. Link https://www.heise.de/news/Motorola-und-GrapheneOS-arbeiten-fuer-sichere-Android-Smartphones-zusammen-11194164.html Einen anderen Ansatz verfolgt /e/OS, wohinter die französische Firma Murena steckt. Hier liegt der Fokus auf Datenschutz und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Murena verkauft Smartphones, wo /e/OS bereits vorinstalliert ist, und bietet eine integrierte Cloud an. Daneben gibt es noch das Urgestein Lineage OS, das auf den meisten Geräten läuft, sowie Iodé, ebenfalls aus Frankreich, mit eingebauter Firewall. Im Podcast geht es auch um die Alltagstauglichkeit: Welche Banking-Apps funktionieren? Wie steht es um mobiles Bezahlen per NFC? Und wie gut sind die Kameras ohne Googles Foto-Algorithmen? Für alle, die kein Custom-ROM installieren wollen, geben die c't-Redakteure konkrete Tipps, welche Einstellungen den Datenschutz verbessern, Kontakte und Bilder trotzdem bequem synchronisieren und wie man den Private Space produktiv nutzt, um kritische Apps zu isolieren. Sie stellen auch alternative App-Stores vor und berichten von ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen. Die drei c't-Redakteure diskutieren zudem darüber, wie Google sein Android-Ökosystem immer mehr einschränkt und warum dies den Custom-ROM-Projekten zunehmend das Leben schwer macht.

Das eigene Smartphone ist eine keine Petze mehr sein? Wie man den Datenschutz von Android verbessert, erklären wir in c't uplink. Ein Weg ist alternativen Android-Varianten, „Custom-ROMs“ wie GrapheneOS, /e/OS, LineageOS oder Iodé zu installieren. In der Folge geht es insbesondere um die Alltagstauglichkeit: Welche Banking-Apps funktionieren? Wie steht es um mobiles Bezahlen per NFC? Und wie gut sind die Kameras ohne Googles Foto-Algorithmen? Für alle, die kein Custom-ROM installieren wollen, geben die c't-Redakteure konkrete Tipps, wie man mit einfachen Einstellungen den Datenschutz am Standard-Android verbessert. Etwa welche alternativen App-Stores es gibt oder wie man mit der Funktion Private Space kritische Apps isoliert.

In der neuen Folge von c't uplink erläutern die c't-Redakteure Stefan Porteck und Jörg Wirtgen die relevanten Android-Alternativen vor. Sie vergleichen im Gespräch mit Moderator Keywan Tonekaboni die wichtigsten Custom-ROMs: GrapheneOS setzt auf maximale Sicherheit, läuft aber bisher ausschließlich auf Googles Pixel-Handys – etwas ironisch, wenn man von Google weg will. Das bleibt nicht so, da das GrapheneOS-Team eine Partnerschaft mit dem Handy-Hersteller Motorola eingegangen ist. Link https://www.heise.de/news/Motorola-und-GrapheneOS-arbeiten-fuer-sichere-Android-Smartphones-zusammen-11194164.html Einen anderen Ansatz verfolgt /e/OS, wohinter die französische Firma Murena steckt. Hier liegt der Fokus auf Datenschutz und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Murena verkauft Smartphones, wo /e/OS bereits vorinstalliert ist, und bietet eine integrierte Cloud an. Daneben gibt es noch das Urgestein Lineage OS, das auf den meisten Geräten läuft, sowie Iodé, ebenfalls aus Frankreich, mit eingebauter Firewall. Im Podcast geht es auch um die Alltagstauglichkeit: Welche Banking-Apps funktionieren? Wie steht es um mobiles Bezahlen per NFC? Und wie gut sind die Kameras ohne Googles Foto-Algorithmen? Für alle, die kein Custom-ROM installieren wollen, geben die c't-Redakteure konkrete Tipps, welche Einstellungen den Datenschutz verbessern, Kontakte und Bilder trotzdem bequem synchronisieren und wie man den Private Space produktiv nutzt, um kritische Apps zu isolieren. Sie stellen auch alternative App-Stores vor und berichten von ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen. Die drei c't-Redakteure diskutieren zudem darüber, wie Google sein Android-Ökosystem immer mehr einschränkt und warum dies den Custom-ROM-Projekten zunehmend das Leben schwer macht.

SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer unpack the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry. In this episode, they cover the viral rise of OpenClaw and its founder's move to OpenAI, OpenAI's exploration of ads inside ChatGPT, and Alibaba's push into agent-powered commerce during Lunar New Year. They also discuss Mistral's acquisition of Koyeb to deepen its compute stack, the growing competition between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and what these moves signal about monetization, infrastructure, and control in the AI arms race. Gregor and Sean then dive deep into the rapid acceleration of agentic engineering. They examine how tools like Claude Code and Codex are compressing the idea-to-production cycle, what multi-agent orchestration means for software teams, whether the era of the “10x engineer” is ending, and how organizational structures may need to evolve as coding shifts from manual craft to supervised automation. Finally, they highlight standout threads from Hacker News, including reverse engineering a 1990 DOS classic, a 3D reimagining of flight tracking data, old-school practical film effects using cloud tanks, and the privacy-focused GrapheneOS mobile operating system. Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, having previously been a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He is based in Singapore and can be found via his profile at vand.hk or on LinkedIn. Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler.
