Thanks. I don't find anything too surprising in this article and nothing seems to be going against the specific privacy promises of Proton as far as I can see. It's worth questioning whether Swiss authorities should share data with US authorities, but the rest seems pretty much as expected
Everything is doom and gloom in the news & I've been really cynical lately, but a surprising amount of good news came out in tech this week, so for a change I decided to dedicate a whole episode to things I found to be mostly positive!

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

FYI The Friday Checkout is now also on Spotify. I'll see how the platform works, but if you use Spotify, give the show a follow as I need 1000 followers to enable monetization ✌️

I used a MB Air M1 with 8GB of RAM until ~2 years ago and rarely ever felt that it didn't have enough RAM, or power in general. Sure there are use cases where one might need more, but many seem to think 8 gigs is some unusable junk. I think it's not, if the price is right. Which on the Neo it is.

Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper

Fucking depressing
On the plus side with Iran, Russia and to some degree Venezuela now all being basically at war maybe countries around the world will decide that a fossil fuel dependence is not just bad climate policy, but also bad for sovereignty?

Sadly no, but you're not the first one who told me they wanted the video to be longer, so I think the next time I do a travel video I'll make it much longer. I'm not used to long videos, but they seem popular
I spent 3 weeks in India's tech capital, Bangalore, trying out every type of transportation, visiting startups, organizing a meetup and a lot more. Check it out!

It would be so great if it turned out that Donut Labs was the real deal and not a scam. I still lean towards something being fishy, but 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Upon popular request, I'm planning a meetup in Bangalore! If you're around, come by to say hello and have a friendly chat. I don't have any activities planned, just a few hours to nerd out with fellow tech enthusiasts :)

I've spent 5 days without internet. Feels great to tune out the noise even if only briefly 🤿
