    Is there a cheap, reliable tester that someone can recommend that will test multiple USB cable types (A, micro & C)?

    If he hadn't given the authorities the duress pin, and presumably they had seized it, would the encryption/protection GrapheneOS provides have been enough to keep them from accessi…

    Looks like the script itself isn't doing much at all. https://github.com/50YearsPhone/vision-50-years-phone/blob/m...

    Things just keep getting better and better with this war. I love reading the news.

    Great, how about some frontier models like China seems to be doing on a weekly basis at this point. Give us a CoPilot variant that's open source & open weights.

    Thanks for this. This has to be one of the worst websites I've ever tried to use. I couldn't even scroll the page in half the mobile browsers I tried, despite turning off adblockin…

    Ok, great, so Microsoft believes in open weight models. So... uhh, why not release a few?

    I like it. Is the music AI generated though?

    It's an alternative way to cast media to your TV by way of somehow ripping the streaming video off said website or service.

    I did also come across this article on Ergo log detailing a study that a chitosan supplement may reduce microplastics absorption (small stud, caveats of course). Concentration of m…

    Sounds like it's basically dead. The issue with messenger apps is that they're a dime a dozen, there are so many of them and they offer so much variability in security, privacy, bu…

    There are a few editions of this guide, apparently, and the most recent is a 2022 edition, but it contains most information of the older editions but might have a newer foreword. h…

    Sounds like a very cool project. I often use the ElevenLabs app/extension to listen to articles, but I would love to have a local option to do this. I'm on Windows though, so I loo…

    I came here to ask the same question. There's some details here but I still don't fully understand. https://huggingbay.xyz/start EDIT So, I did a very preliminary search and it app…

    I noticed the nytimes just published an article about this. How Terrorist Groups Are Using A.I. to Gain an Edge in Battle https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/us/politics/ai-terroris…

    This seems to be the only way forward from what I can figure. Helium's main selling point is that it's essentially degoogled chromium + a few miscellaneous patches & full uBlock. B…

    How are they going to be adding uBlock Origin to Chromium going forward if manifest v2 gets completely deprecated/removed entirely?

    How did you determine who was a no name drop shipper though? Based on what criteria?

    I think you're going to have to standardize what you consider to be knock offs and what's not, or you're going to end up in continuous quagmires like this trying to make a determin…

    I wonder if this would be useful in OSINT stuff.

    So, how did you come up with the brand names and decide on what is a knock off and what is not? I looked over the Github and really didn't see any specific criteria mentioned.

    How often would you want to run it and do this though? I propose some kind of tool that constantly generates random GDID data and sends it to Windows telemetry. I think we need to …
