The Guardian | MacBook Neo review: the budget Apple laptop powered by an iPhone chip by Samuel Gibbs Consumer technology editor

Snappy performance, high-quality screen, best-in-class keyboard and trackpad show cheaper can still be great

Apple’s brand new entry-level laptop is powered by the chip from an iPhone and offers more than just the essential MacBook experience for a great price, putting the PC industry on notice.

The MacBook Neo is the first of its kind from Apple. A 13in laptop that runs on an A18 Pro chip and brings the starting price for a brand new MacBook down to £599 (€699/$599/A$899) – £500 or the equivalent less than the MacBook Air.

An old saying from my grandparents that went, "Not all that glitters is gold," can be perfectly applied to technology, especially the internet and social media. In fact, I'd say that nowadays almost everything is shit Especially digital activism, which from afar smells of business dealings as dirty as all the others out there. And I say this because of the fundamentalism and fanaticism with which more and more people are advocating for their preferred software or against the one they don't like.
I don't let anyone tell me what device I'm going to use, what operating system, or what application, nor am I going to tell anyone what to do.
Do you like Macbooks or iPhones? Do you use Windows? Do you like Linux? Are you an Ubuntu or Fedora user? Do you prefer Android?
In my previous jobs I learned that if a government wants to find and spy on you, it will do so anyway, no matter what the hell you use. If they can remove a president from his own country they'll find you however they want, and they'll grease your ass with oil if they want to.
Use whatever you want or whatever works well for you. For the past 36 years I've owned many computers and phones, and they're all pretty much the same.What matters is what you do with them.
I have one laptop and one desktop, both running Arch. But if I had more computers I would install Debian, Fedora, etc. on them. I work and have fun with the machines. I think it's great that there are many Linux desktops and many distros, that there are iPhones and Android, Windows, BSD, Unix, and there should be more different things.

Apple markets itself as the most secure consumer platform. That reputation makes its users the easiest targets.

Most people trust the ecosystem blindly. They never configure FileVault properly, never think about what Pegasus-level spyware can do to a fully updated iPhone, and never question whether their iCloud backup undoes their encryption entirely.

"Comprehensive Guide to iOS and Mac Security" covers what Apple does not tell you. Biometric security, encryption, spyware defense, hardware-level protections introduced by Apple Silicon, startup process monitoring with tools like KnockKnock and BlockBlock, firewall management, and application hygiene — with hands-on exercises and real-world threat analysis, not just theory.

Whether you are a casual user wanting better privacy or a professional hardening your own devices, this is the resource that fills the gap.

Pi5 Raspberry SBC

This is the standard config of cooling on the Pi5. I wanted more so I got myself a much better cooling system. Instead of one Al cooling arry, all of my IC's, not just the SOC are cooled making contact with a full cooling block of solid Al, on top of the block this is a high performace fan with ball bearings, not sleeve bearings which have a longer MTBF. The block alone with the contacts on the IC's is so effecient that on light loads the fan can even stop running.

Since the machine is running in the tropics that is a great achievement

The cooling system has space for m.2 2080 SSD controllers with multiple SSD's, which one other reason why I bought it. I want m.2 SSD speed instead of microSD speed (which is nice)

Introducing PH4NTXM Lone Wolf Firewall Guard.

A runtime integrity loop for lonewolf mode that continuously verifies the nftables ruleset and restores it instantly if any deviation is detected.

On tamper, change, addition, or even a single drift on rules:
• ruleset is reloaded
• connection tracking is flushed
• all existing flows are terminated

No persistence. No drift. No second chances.

Designed under one assumption:
compromise is inevitable — enforcement must be continuous.

Die nahe Zukunft erscheint als Cyberpunk-Dystopie, nur ohne die coole Ästhetik sondern im Grauen Überwachungskapitalismus des Spätanthropozäns.

Überlegen wir uns lieber bessere Ideen wie wir leben wollen und wie wir diese Ideen umsetzen können, anstatt so etwas abzuwarten.

"Forscher:innen aus Italien ist es gelungen, Menschen in WLAN-Feldern biometrisch zu identifizieren – und das auch, wenn diese keine Gadgets wie ein Smartphone bei sich hatten. Das eigens entwickelte System Whofi hat eine Trefferquote von 95,5 Prozent.

Die feinen Veränderungen, die menschliche Körper verursachen, wenn sie WLAN-Signale durchqueren erwiesen sich laut den Forscher:innen als so individuell, dass damit einzelne Personen identifiziert werden konnten. Ein neuronales Netzwerk war dann in der Lage, ein personenspezifisches Profil aus den vorhandenen Daten zu erstellen – und die Signaturen mit vorhandenen Personenprofilen zu vergleichen.

[...]

Ob und wann Whofi in entsprechenden Sicherheits- oder Smarthome-Anwendungen zum Einsatz kommt, ist unklar. Klar ist derweil, dass künftig ein Verzicht auf Smartphone und Co nicht mehr vor der Erstellung eines Bewegungsprofils schützen dürfte."

These guys were the wrong CEOs not because they're not ready to manage "the next wave" (powered by AI) but because they believe all the hype about AI improving business productivity.

Based on chip production, water availability, electric grid capacity, and local political pushback, all current projections for the growth trend of AI (specifically measured in terms of data center lives) estimate a Peak Data Center/Peak AI point will be reached sometime in the early 2030s.

That's not a great trend line on which to anchor a company's financial future.

Völlig vorhersehbar versucht die autoritäre EU-Kommission die "digitalen Identitäten" in das Überwachungswerkzeug zu verwandeln, dass sie wohl auch von Anfang an sein sollten.

Vermeintliche Eingrenzungen der Überwachungspotenziale, die bei der Einführung von #eIDAS vom EU-Parlament beschlossen wurden, stellen sich ganz offensichtlich als lächerliche Farce heraus, die die Kommission leicht umgehen kann, um ein Kontrollwerkzeug ganz im Sinne von Konzernen und staatlicher Repression zu erhalten.

The Enclosure of Information: Alternative Data, Bossware, and the Societies of Control

Auszug:
"If the enclosure of land led to peasant revolts, what forms of resistance might emerge against the enclosure of data? The answer is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the commodification of information serves only to reinforce class hierarchies. As financial elites manipulate alternative data for speculative gain and employers use bossware to extract ever more surplus-value, the question we must ask is not merely how to regulate these practices, but how to dismantle the very system that enables them. A society built on the enclosure of knowledge is not a free society. It is a society of control, and it is time to resist."

PH4NTXM RAM Seeding Engine Update:

We’ve been refining how synthetic memory artifacts behave under analysis.

Earlier versions produced clean, easily identifiable markers (e.g. ELF, HTTP, SSH) with visible padding — useful, but unrealistic under scrutiny.

Now:
• Injected patterns are entropy-blended
• Boundaries between data and noise are broken
• Strings are partially preserved, partially corrupted
• Memory dumps resemble organic process residue rather than structured inserts

Result:
Traditional tools like strings and pattern-based grepping become significantly less reliable — output is fragmented, inconsistent, and closer to real-world memory conditions.

We’re not trying to hide data — we’re trying to make synthetic memory indistinguishable from naturally occurring noise.

Reading about cybersecurity and doing cybersecurity are two completely different things.

You can memorize every concept and still freeze when faced with a real system. Knowledge without practice is just theory.

Vulnerable VMs fix that. Platforms like VulnHub and VulNyx put you in controlled environments where you can break things, fail, and learn why without consequences.

Observer | Sam Altman Resets OpenAI and Personal Priorities Ahead of High-Stakes IPO by Victor Dey

Sam Altman in a black tuxedo." width="970" height="647" data-caption='Altman is reshaping OpenAI’s structure and priorities ahead of a highly anticipated IPO. &lt;span class="lazyload media-credit"&gt;Taylor Hill/FilmMagic&lt;/span&gt;'&gt;
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently made two moves that say more about the company’s future than any product launch could. On March 23, he stepped down as chairman of Helion Energy, the fusion startup he has backed for more than a decade, as OpenAI explores a large-scale power deal with the company. A day later, OpenAI pulled the plug on its popular video-generating model, Sora, saying it would reallocate resources to its next major large language model, codenamed “Spud,” as well as a growing suite of coding agents and enterprise tools.

Together, the decisions point to a CEO stripping away distractions, tightening control and preparing for a highly anticipated IPO. OpenAI has reinforced that shift by strengthening its financial leadership, including appointing former DocuSign CFO Cynthia Gaylor to oversee investor relations.

According to The Information, Altman has also relinquished direct oversight of OpenAI’s safety and security teams to focus on “capital, supply chains, and building data centers at unprecedented scale.” The company has folded its safety team into the research organization led by chief research officer Mark Chen, while moving security under the “scaling” division run by co-founder and president Greg Brockman. At the same time, OpenAI has renamed its product organization—led by Fidji Simo, CEO of applications—to “A.G.I. Deployment.”

Observer | Bret Taylor Leads OpenAI Foundation’s $1B Drive for A.I. Safety and Health by Alexandra Tremayne-Pengelly

OpenAI, founded in 2015 as a nonprofit devoted to ensuring A.I. benefits all of humanity, drew criticism after creating a capped‑profit subsidiary in 2019 and was accused by figures such as co‑founder Elon Musk of drifting from its mission. That chapter effectively closed last year when OpenAI converted to a public benefit corporation and granted the nonprofit a 26 percent equity stake as part of the recapitalization. With that stake now valued at around $130 billion, the foundation plans to back projects that both expand A.I.’s upside and tackle its risks, according to Bret Taylor, chair of the OpenAI Foundation, now one of the world’s largest charities.

Taylor said in a March 24 update that the foundation will invest at least $1 billion this year in areas including life sciences, jobs and community programs, marking a major ramp‑up in giving and accompanied by a wave of new hires.

Taylor became OpenAI’s chair in 2023 in the wake of CEO Sam Altman’s brief ouster and reinstatement. Taylor’s resume spans chief technology officer at Facebook (now Meta), co‑CEO of Salesforce and chair of Twitter (now X), in addition to launching multiple startups, including the A.I. company Sierra.

The Guardian | Google warns quantum computers could hack encrypted systems by 2029 by Aisha Down

Banks, governments and tech providers urged to upgrade security because current systems will soon be obsolete

Banks, governments and technology providers need to be prepared for quantum computer hackers capable of breaking most existing encryption systems by 2029, Google has warned.

The tech company said in a blogpost that quantum computers would pose a “significant threat to current cryptographic standards” before the end of the decade and urged other companies to follow its lead.

Last night I was invited to go on the @BBCNews channel with presenter Christian Fraser to react to the breaking news that #Meta & #Google had been found liable in a social media addiction trial in Los Angeles, brought by a young woman who claims she became addicted to social media as a child.

I had less than 15 minutes to get ready and I had to listen to the press conference and react to it immediately - so please excuse the messy hair 😅

Here are the main points of what I said:

📌This is a civil case. We need robust legislation, otherwise there is no precise US federal or state law that the tech giants have broken and they can keep appealing. You need to have a law in order to determine someone broke that law.

📌Right now, although we know there *is* definitely harm, the studies are inconclusive & only self-reporting. We need more studies and proven psychological analysis of harm to our young people.

📌We need our governments to stop being lenient with the tech giants and make it clear what specifically we expect from them, what tools and features we want to see, and we need to base that off specific, stated, measured harms.

The Guardian | Muskism by Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff review – how Elon Musk is reshaping the world by Christopher Webb

Henry Ford changed the face of industry forever – what kind of economic model do Musk’s methods presage?

Genius industrialist or clownish conman, humanity’s saviour from a rapidly crumbling planet or rabid social media troll – the verdicts on the world’s richest person vary in flavour, but most share something in common: they focus on Musk as an individual. In their study, Quinn Slobodian, a historian at Boston University, and Ben Tarnoff, a tech writer, wish to reframe the conversation. The most important question, they argue, is not “who is Musk?” but “what is Musk a symptom of?”

As the title suggests, their answer is “Muskism”, the coinage a deliberate nod to Fordism, the shorthand for 20th-century capitalism built on the pairing of mass production with mass consumption. If Fordism was the last century’s operating system, Slobodian and Tarnoff contend that Muskism is this century’s.

#EpsteinClass #Fascism #Technology

Here's a problem I've been struggling with for a while: how to break my dependence on my Smartphone (specifically Android).

So far, so normal, everyone is addicted, but that's not my problem. My smartphone is mostly a tool, with some entertainment uses bolted on the side.

With the changes going on in the mobile ecosystem (enforced app signing, oncoming age verification, etc.), I don't think it's tenable to stay on Android.

1/?

#Linux #Android #smartphones #tech #technology

The smartphone really has become a techno-socio-economic Gordian knot, that I can't see a way to unravel.

We've pushed everything into this one place (UNIX philosophy RIP) to the extent that it's impossible to even define all the use cases you have, let alone start replacing them.

And that's even before you get to the random system you might encounter demands immediate internet access or use of their app.

2/?

#Linux #Android #smartphones #tech #technology

I don't think that Linux phones, or alternative Android ROMs solve the problems, because the hardware is invariably expensive, pushing out a large portion of the population (i.e. everyone who doesn't buy a flagship phone every 2 years).

That's even leaving aside the fact that most Linux phones still don't work for everyday use (no blame assigned here, this is just a fact).

While the West argued about age verification, Iran built something far darker: an Internet it can shut off to silence dissent, hide violence, and isolate millions.

This isn't resilience. It's repression, engineered.

GSM and 5G data

We often take for granted the access we have to data & VOIP networks, esp. when we have 'unlimited access'

Unlimited data access is a farce

• My ISP still delivers ancient xDSL connections maxed a 10MBit/s (1MBit = 1024kBit!)
• The connection is capped at speed meaning 30days per bandwidth pool
• * 10MBit/s = 36000Mbit/hr
• * 36000Mbit/hr = 36864000 MBit/day (x24)
• * 36864000MBit/day = 1105920000 MBit/month (x 30 days)
• * 1105920000MBit /1024 = 1080000 MByte/month
• * 1080000MByte /1024 = 1054.6875 GByte/month
• * 1054.6875 /1024 = 1.02996826172 TByte theoretical bandwidth.

You get only 1.0299 TByte/month at max!

Subtract from that number 10% for protocol overhead ping delays retries and what not.

• * 1.0299 TByte - 0.10299TByte = 0.9269TByte
• * 0.9269 TByte = 949.1456 GByte max in practice

The practical cap is at 949.15GB per month

Similar calculations can be made for unlimited post paid POTS phone connections

• The cap is at time. No one talks 24hrs and can pay the phone bill, so the cap is also economical
• No unlimited services exist. All are capped by time*
• Subscriptions can be a way out to good deals
• One of my GSM providers gives 100 minute prepaid subsciptions for 6 months a year and two years
• The difference is startling in comparision with the regular price
• 100min = 4.5 USD per month subscribed prepaid 6 months
• 100min = 25 USD month prepaid!

Don't take your connections for granted.

• Many people (me included) drop permanent services due to economical & technical reasons
• * I dropped my xDSL connection because I need fibre connections to work. My ISP has the fibre optic cables & FAT terminals (fibre acces terminals) in the first part of the street.
• * * My ISP even made the power company change the poles in the whole street
• * * The EBS changed the poles in 40% of the project time, a record for them.
• * * My ISP betrayed us by still giving us FTTC instead of FTTH as promised in the whole street.
• * * My ISP has massive corruption problems, since they abused the grand for FTTH to give us obsolete FTTC equipment with xDSL
• * * Only areas without POTS cables got FTTH first, the rest was shoved on obsolete ancient FTTC equipment you cant buy new anymore globally
• * * The ISP makes double money since they cant charge more for FTTC minimal, but have to give 50MBit/s minimal because there are no lower caps allowed in the contract grand
• * * The FTTH connection als0 gets your POTS phone connected to it
• * * when a pole is ripped off due to a car hitting it, you are SOL without a seperate GSM / smart phone, because your POTS phone is now on a SPF (single point of failure).
• • * On xDSL the lines are buried so POTS lines are safer
• • I also dropped the xDSL service because the ammount of data I can download is pitiful on xDSL
• • I can use the cash literally for food since they charge a massive USD 20/month for the ancient connection

Your kid's £1000 iPhone, on your WiFi, on your credit card, with parental controls you never turned on, despite the fact of being available to you by all major providers for decade. And your solution is to build Iran-lite infrastructure for the rest of us.

Incredible failed parenting. Truly.

🚨 The Conservatives (EPP) are attempting to force a new vote on Thursday (26th), seeking to *reverse* Parliament's NO on indiscriminate scanning.

This is a direct attack on democracy and blatant disregard for your right to privacy. No means no.

Boot Configuration Data (BCD) is the firmware-independent database that stores boot-time configuration settings for Windows 11.

During the boot process:

1. Firmware (BIOS/UEFI) loads the Windows Boot Manager (BOOTMGR).

2. The Windows Boot Manager reads the BCD store to determine which operating system loader to execute and what boot parameters to use.

3. The BCD store contains entries with unique GUIDs, specifying the device location (partition), path to the OS loader (winload.exe), and boot options (like safe mode or debugging flags).

4. If multiple boot entries exist, the Boot Manager presents a menu for the user to select.

5. The selected entry launches winload.exe, which continues the startup process

For UEFI systems, the BCD store is typically located in the EFI System Partition (ESP) at \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD. The Boot Manager uses standard UEFI APIs to locate it, falling back to the hardcoded path if needed. For BIOS systems, the BCD is located on the system partition at \Boot\BCD

To fix boot errors, boot from a Windows installation USB/DVD, select "Repair your computer," then use Command Prompt to run
Following commands, pressing Enter after each.

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Once the operations are complete successfully, remove the USB/DVD and restart the computer.
