Tech

Honestly, it's beyond me why people aren't up in arms, charging the ramparts! We need a revolution to free ourselves from the chains of SSL certificates. If anyone has a plan on how to make this happen, count me in!

Why do Lenovo ThinkPad E and T series consistently come with such poor screens, all maxing out at just 300 nits? They're essentially the go-to choice for quality laptops with an Ethernet port. If only they had included a better display, these laptops would be excellent.

Haha, they sure did! But the competition is definitely welcome!

Ha ha! Big Tech just LOST their monopoly over AI.

Has anyone tried the new chinese AI DeepSeek?

perhaps marshall acton 3. Looks like a fine speaker with that works with just plain jack and bluetooth

Totally is there even any no phone verification email providers left?

Can anyone recommend a portable speaker that doesn't have voice control and can be used without a google home setup? It should just plug in or connect via standard bluetooth.

Probably government-run harassment campaigns once again, fucking glow niggers did the same to Lavabit email service.

I heard they’re facing legal issues and are in the process of shutting down.

If the Mimblewimble system (including grin) isn't suitable, then Monero appears to be the only alternative. However, the mathematical theory behind Monery is so convoluted that there's definitely room for a better solution to emerge.

Briefly looked into it. Seems like every transaction needs participation from sender and receiver. This means you cannot post a public address people can send to independently. This is problematic.

Just stumbled upon "Grin", a new (at least to me) crypto currency focused on privacy and simplicity. Looks really promising

Give us a rundown on some of these file sharing softwares.

Very true. SSL certs have entangled the web to the point I don't know how we can rid of them again

Think he is using Wise although I'm no sure

He uses stripe for accepting payments , but do you know what banking setup he is using behind?

I stumbled across this lex fridman interview with Pieter Levels, a nomad developer. Surprisingly interesting, check it out.

Scary situation. I believe they attempts to gain control of access to www by controlling browsers. Another gatekeeper if you will. Especially since browsers could block targeted sites and eavesdrop on anything filled in forms, such as passwords and post content.

Wise choice indeed

Some websites refuse to run on alternative web browsers. I notice this when it comes to the corporate world. I'm sure it will continue to "break the web" long into the future. I notice how many companies only want consumers, employees and clients using the mainstream big tech web browsers. What I do to get around it is I have a seperate isolated computer just for legit buisness and email. I do everything else on my other computer which I do not associate myself with on any personal level. This offers me better privacy as well.

Welcome, you are at the right place already. Before tech understanding comes curiosity. What type of tech are you interested in?

i want to be a tech nerd, where and how do i start

Pavel Durov (from telegram) said in his interview with Tucker Carlson that the american authorities were interested in knowing which open source crypto libraries Telegram used. Possibly also wanting to advocate telegram to use specific libs. Anyone heard anything about open source crypto libraries being compromised?
