Very clickbait headline. Proton Mail was forced to hand over payment data to Swiss authorities due to a legally binding order, which was then shared to the FBI via MLAT. At no point did they β€œhelp” the FBI.

Anyone with a mild degree of privacy awareness knows payment data is not E2E encrypted.

The problem with mobile security is it’s all about perimeter security. Once that fails, there is little remedy. Everything else shifted towards continuous monitoring due to compromise mentality being; not if, but when.

Beyond Apple notifying you, there is a gap in detections that is hard to fill.

We need more marine sanctuaries. They regenerate reefs, recover fish colonies, and improve fishing conditions in the surrounding areas, benefiting local economies.

240 million PCs recently forced to be obsolete due to the Win10 end of life and absurd RAM prices driving new PC costs up don’t seem like a good mix

So Apple blocks logging into iCloud if you use Ubuntu + FireFox. You have to spoof the user agent to get around it. Random.

Microsoft has a hidden talent of making people never want to upgrade their Windows OS. Sadly only two months left of Win10 support.

Anyone with a smartwatch that tracks HR and sleep quality can immediately tell how much impact a single drink has on the body.

I think most always knew it to be unhealthy, it’s more that we now have the tech to see the individual impact in real-time.

Delta using AI to determine the price you pay for plane tickets Delta Airlines is facing criticism for its use of artificial intelligence to determine ticket prices, a practice known as surveillance pricing.

Wouldn’t this effectively drive traffic away from delta.com to third party booking sites? The only time you need to book on the carrier website is when you are redeeming points

I don’t see MS introducing something that would enable people to flag and potentially scrutinize the main technology they are forcing into almost every one of their products.

A photo of a TV where a woman dressed as a ghost for the Eras Tour is interviewed by local news. The caption reads β€œWoman hides identity because she called in sick to work.”

Really hope this doesn’t mess with my budgeting app. It’s hard enough trying to keep track of things to then have my own bank paywall me out of organizing my money.

What is the obsession for power banks and chargers these days? There is such heavy competition to make them look β€œcool” too, people it’s a plastic cube that sits in a wall outlet.

Not complaining about Anker. They do make solid products. I just don’t get people’s desire to get the β€œbest” charger.

Creative idea by @xeiaso.net to have a visitor’s local browser run cryptographic math in JS to identify and block AI bot scrapers.

Every DJI drone is out of stock on the company's online store If you’re looking to purchase a drone from DJI, visiting the company’s online store might not be the best option,...

Appears all DJI shipments are being seized at the US border, resulting in most products to be out of stock indefinitely on their website and partner retailers.

A real shame because they arguably make the best drones. I really like their handheld cameras and was hoping to buy one.

A prolific hacking group that's shutdown retailers and insurance companies turns to aviation A cyberattack on WestJet last week is likely tied to the Scattered Spider gang, a source tells Axios.

Mandiant is now aware of multiple incidents in the airline sector that resemble Scattered Spider. The industry should button up its call centers where this actor has had a lot of success with social engineering. www.axios.com/2025/06/27/a...

I’ve never seen anything like that before, very interesting to see it have the contextual awareness to address you in the second person.
