  • Minisforum MS-S1 Max Review - The Best Ryzen AI Max Mini-PC Yet

  • There are lots of comparable models on sale for $1k less than that and I don't see anything to suggest this is the "best" one.

  • Public streaming webcams have been a thing for three decades.

    Most of those public streaming cams are streaming to a private server, and not 40k cameras contributing to the same global database. They're also not being tracked with AI and storing license plate numbers, facial recognition, etc. to be categorized and later searched by law enforcement for, whatever reason they want.

  • I have a e14 Thinkpad...with 8gb soldered ram

    so I put a 16gb stick in

    What?

  • Okay, so I just found out my phone number company got my data exposed.

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, that's a "home phone" or a "landline phone". But these types of phones cannot receive SMS messages so they don't solve the problem.

  • Okay, so I just found out my phone number company got my data exposed.

    Jump

  • I don't know what a "small fix phone" is, but the phone is not the problem. The problem is basic services that require a phone number as part of your registration.

  • Okay, so I just found out my phone number company got my data exposed.

    Jump

  • Yes and no. You can try and go without a phone number but I've found that to be literally impossible. Or you can change your phone # periodically, that's what I do.

  • Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

    Jump

  • Yes but you can't always disconnect. For instance, my healthcare provider requires in order to access your account you:

    1. Get an ID card with Google or Apple Wallet, which I don't have.
    2. Verify over text message, except they refuse my phone # bc it's VoIP.

    I will quite literally die without this so I had to get a new phone and a Google account.

  • Okay, so I just found out my phone number company got my data exposed.

    Jump

  • My point is changing providers is a fruitless endeavour. Your phone number is probably sourced and sold several times/day. Switch carriers and they'll do the same thing. Why? Because no one will stop them, and most people don't know or even care, so why wouldn't they? And your phone number is already out there anyway, there's no taking it back.

  • If you don't know what samurai wallet is then that title would be less informative.

    No.

    Replacing samurai with crypto can only mislead the reader into thinking that the issue was the crypto and not the privacy part.

    No.

    It also doesn't tell you anything about why he's being imprisoned

    Neither does the current title. But at least then we know it's something to do with a crypto wallet instead of a "privacy tool".

    it's implied why (because he built a privacy tool)

    A "privacy tool" could be an infinite number of things. A "crypto wallet" is super specific.

    At this point I think it's pretty clear you're just being disingenuous so I'll bid you good day.

  • What privacy/tech news podcasts/channels do you recommend?

  • He Built a Privacy Tool. Now He’s Going to Prison.

    Jump

  • What details are being withheld? His name, the tool's name, the crime, the sentence? What title would be more informative?

    ...yeah? That's absolutely much more informative

    Samurai wallet dev sentenced to 5 years

    Is that better? Only if you already know what samurai wallet is.

    Correct again. I mean it's infinitely better than the current one where it doesn't matter if you do know what Samourai is. Also replace Samourai with "crypto" and baby you got a stew goin'.

    You can't condense an hour long video into a single sentence beyond the basic premise

    You don't have to. You just try to make it as information dense as possible. That's the entire point of a title. It's not supposed to be just a bunch of random filler words. You've just provided several great examples yourself.

  • Sure, and we've always compromised on the 2 as a society. But we continually trend more and more towards prevention rather than privacy and sovereignty.
