Bye Bye Paywall - Remove Paywalls

💸 Bitcoin taking off #Bitcoin has recently seen its price in dollars increase by 18.7% in the last week Everyone assumes that following the results of the US elections It could be, but remember that whoever has bought Bitcoin has not been able to lose. The asset that makes you sovereign over your money, that you can transfer without borders or asking for permission, that you don't need permission to use... It's stronger than ever and everything indicates that it will be like that

Living sane in an insane society is not easy. It’s a daily battle between your ego and your mind. The mind drags you to the old settings, while your ego wants to remain in the new settings, where it seeks pleasure in discovering truths that would eventually shake many minds.

📱 Apple rewards for privacy failures In order to defend the security and privacy of its new "Apple Intelligence" system (Private Cloud Computing), those from Cupertino are offering from $50,000 to $1,000,000 for those who find privacy flaws. "Because we care deeply about any compromise to user privacy or security, we will consider any security issue that has a significant impact to PCC for an Apple Security Bounty reward, even if it doesn't fit into a published category." A good way to encourage the search for gaps in the system that may end up being more than just a mistake

Let me analyze the potential impact on #Bitcoin 's price if USDT fails: Immediate Impact: - Severe downward pressure, likely causing a sharp crash - Historical precedent: When smaller stablecoins like UST failed, #BTC dropped ~40% - USDT's failure would be far more impactful as it represents the largest stablecoin market cap - Massive forced liquidations of leveraged positions would amplify the crash - Potential for cascading margin calls across exchanges Short-term Effects: - Trading volume would drop significantly as USDT pairs account for major BTC liquidity - Panic selling as traders try to exit positions - Reduced ability to arbitrage between exchanges - Price discovery becomes more difficult - Wider bid-ask spreads due to reduced liquidity Medium-term Recovery Factors: - Bitcoin could actually benefit long-term as a "flight to quality" - Some USDT holders might rush to convert to BTC as a safe haven - Market could shift to alternative trading pairs (USD, USDC, EUR) - Historical resilience: BTC has recovered from previous market shocks The severity would largely depend on: 1. How suddenly USDT fails 2. Whether the failure is partial or complete 3. The state of broader market conditions 4. How quickly alternative trading pairs can absorb volume

🏦 The European Central Bank doesn't like Bitcoin New ECB paper claims early adopters of #bitcoin policies steal economic value from later adopters This could "facilitate" the excuse for new taxes on Bitcoin or even bans (something that in some cases would be impossible to do). In addition, there is a constant demand for regulation: "to prevent Bitcoin prices from rising or to see Bitcoin disappear completely" or even claim that it could lead to "the division of society." It is also said that there will be few left for newcomers (Is it the only asset that can be revalued because there are limited units? xd) Tuur Demeester, who has spoken about this, says the following:

And no, this will not be a war between the haves and the have-nots. Rather, it will be a historic clash between those who defend the natural rights of the individual and those who cling to the failed ideologies of collectivism and central planning.

6 Headphones with AI Technologies🎶 Currently, neural networks are mainly trusted to improve hearing, but other interesting options are already appearing. 🔔 The Buds N1 from Realme uses AI to suppress noise during calls using the DNN algorithm for clear sound. 🔔 The microphone system in Huawei's FreeClip also works in tandem with a DNN algorithm that distinguishes voice from ambient noise. 🔔 The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro features both AI noise cancellation and direct translation for real-time foreign language conversations, all powered by Galaxy AI. 🔔 Google designed its Pixel Buds Pro 2 specifically for Gemini. The model here is in the form of an AI assistant for all jacks of all trades: find the way, remind you about your plans, recommend music. With Gemini Live, you can simply talk about any topic. 🔔 Sony offers its INZONE “ears” for gamers. AI ensures that the player’s voice is clearly audible here. 🔔 Optimal voice capture for maximum speech intelligibility is provided by ML algorithms in Beats Studio Buds

You should also avoid buying phones preloaded with /e/ OS (sometimes branded as the Murena phones). /e/ OS in itself is extremely insecure, engaging in security bad practices that include, but are not limited to, not supporting verified boot; shipping userdebug build; shipping months-old version of Chromium; and bundling years-old version of Orbot into their operating system, then marketing it as “Advanced Privacy”. There was also a recent incident where their cloud service mishandled session keys and gave users access to other’s files, then proceeded to mislead users that the server cannot see their files, despite there being no end-to-end encryption. You should also be very wary of low quality privacy branded phones like the Freedom Phone, BraX2 Phone, Volta Phone, and the like. These are cheap Chinese phones with the Mediatek Helio P60 from 2018, which has already reached or is near end-of-life. Needless to say, you should also avoid any vendor...

📱 Android 15 is starting to roll out and these are its main privacy and security improvements: 🔴 Screen Recording: You can now record a specific app, making it so that other things like notifications appear in the recording. 🫣 Private Space : You can hide applications and access them that require authentication, for example by biometrics ✋ Pause recording : Applications will know if they are being recorded and for example display warnings and/or hide information 🧑‍💻 Type-C Connection : When you connect your phone to a computer you can choose whether you just want to charge it, transfer files... Now to change modes you will have to identify yourself by biometrics, pin, pattern etc... It is already being rolled out for Pixels and some other devices, it is expected to be available for GrapheneOS in a few hours and it is just a matter of time before other manufacturers adapt the update so that it begins to be implemented on other devices.

📱 Goodbye uBlock Origin in Google Chrome If you still use Google's browser, Chrome, you have even more problems Google has removed uBlock Origin from its extension store, the Chrome Web Store This is due to Manifest V3, the new specification for Chrome extensions that Google has released. If for some reason you need to use Chrome, you should know that you can use the Lite version of uBlock Origin: "uBlock Origin Lite", it is not as effective as it must adapt to Manivest V3 Other Chromium-based browsers are not affected if they do not adopt this. Brave for example says the following in X: Can't use your favorite ad blocker on Chrome anymore? Switch to Brave. Our browser's built-in ad blocker is completely unaffected by Google's latest changes to extensions. In others like Mullvad Browser or LibreWolf it will work without problems too.
