It might not seem like the major issue, but the historical illiteracy of an American administration complaining that freeloading Europeans haven't done enough to militarily control the Suez Canal is quite the thing, eh?

T-Mobile to swap 800MHz spectrum for more 600MHz. It's unusual to dispose of low band because MHz quantity tends to be smaller than on high bands & low is ideal for in-building & rural. But 600Mhz has been a T-Mo superpower asset enabling high quality 5G everywhere

In NYC today for an event with Amazon. Very little said ahead of time in terms of agenda, but expecting to hear a lot about the future of Alexa - something that Amazon have been fairly quiet about during all of the AI hype of recent years

“You kind of need these encrypted services …l from the people that are making the (operating system) on your phone,” EFF’s @jmullin.bsky.social told @cnn.com. “That’s why so much of the encryption conversation is around what Google and Apple are doing.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Question — Is the cloud data of any UK Apple users hosted in the US? If so, without Advanced Data Protection that data is accessible to US authorities. I'm unsure if that is a super good idea right now.

Removing Advanced Data Protection from UK users, simply means that the the data of UK residents, including government officials and politicians, will be accessible to foreign governments via cloud backdoors... "not ideal" given recent events

If you use Signal and your threat model includes Russian state actors, make sure your version of Signal is up to date in order to harden your account against these attacks: cloud.google.com/blog/topics/...

Interesting to see momentum around passive, or ambient, IoT with the launch of the Ambient IoT Alliance. For those not tracking, the idea is to have very small devices that are powered solely by environmental EM fields, more:
