  • According to the linked article, a restored wallet is toast as well, because anything displayed by the screen can get grabbed and sent to the bad guys:

    […]they have installed an additional chip that intercepts the transmission from the Secure Element to the built-in screen and recognizes the displayed letters of the seed phrase […]Recognizing the characters alone doesn’t help the perpetrators yet, because the wallets fundamentally work offline. So the perpetrators have also installed an LTE modem, a tiny eSIM module, and a small antenna, all powered by the accumulator already built into the hardware wallet. Thus, the seed phrase is transmitted via mobile phone to the perpetrators, who thus gain control over the cryptocurrency assets secured by the seed phrase.




  • I’m the lucky person that drinks around 1 litre coffee per day, which is in terms of the study >3 cups.

    Funny enough the study calculates

    1 cup = 283.5 g

    I’d call that mug instead of cup to make clear it’s not really a cup.
    Although it’s quite close to a US cup (236,588 ml) and even closer to the cup sizes leaning on the metric system (250 ml). That is assuming coffee is close to 1 g per ml, which should be a valid assumption.

    Still an odd number for a cup…
    …studies!










  • That’s still worse than abandoning flying by and large.
    While on the surface being CO₂ neutral, SAF contributes to climate change, because the airliner emissions are in a part of the atmosphere (several km above ground) where the CO₂ has a bigger effect on climate than the CO₂ would have where it was captured (~ground level).
    That is if I remember correctly what I read about it some time ago and given the source was reliable. It made sense to me when I read it…

    edit:
    I don’t intend to let “perfect be the enemy of good”.
    It’s more like we got used to a lot of things and sometimes don’t question them radically enough.
    A bit of greenwashing here and there just isn’t good enough, if we want to save what’s left of the climate we knew.
