Imagine if something at work comes up that you don’t like and don’t want to work on, so you just cancel work for a few months and go home. But you still get paid. That’s congress.
This is a huge milestone for @FoundationHQ, for self-custody, and the industry.

WHAT THE BIDEN CREW DID to Silvergate was wrong. And **nothing** has been done to change the levers pulled by the Biden crew to assassinate a liquid, solvent bank it didn't like. The GOP had the chance to fix it but didn't. Sadly, this abuse of power will happen again...
Important retrospective from former Silvergate CEO Alan Lane on the liquidation of the bank

What the TV does by design:
— scans your entire home network continuously. in their test: one TV identified 38 unrelated devices including phones, smartwatches, printers, and thermostats belonging to people not involved in the test.
— collects the names and signal strengths of every nearby WiFi network, plus location data. all sent to LG Ad Solutions.
— runs ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) on everything displayed on screen. including HDMI inputs. your laptop, gaming console, or work monitor connected to the TV is being fingerprinted.
— one TV exchanged roughly 4GB of ACR-related data per month.
What the TV does that LG says it doesn't:
LG publicly stated their TVs "do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations."
Gamers Nexus found:
— the TV converts speech to plain text and stores it in on-device logs
— the microphone window stays open 10 to 15 seconds after talking stops, capturing bystanders who never addressed the TV
— the TV recorded room audio while the screen appeared off and the Ethernet cable was unplugged, then exfiltrated the file the moment it reconnected
The security vulnerabilities on top:
Beyond the designed behavior, researchers found remote code execution vulnerabilities in webOS that could allow a compromised TV to be weaponized as a covert listening device.
these sets are in hospitals. waiting rooms. boardrooms. hotels.
a surgeon asked Gamers Nexus where that leaves patient confidentiality.
Gamers Nexus has no answer. neither does LG.
What to do right now:
— disconnect your LG TV from your network entirely. route streaming through an Apple TV, Roku, or Fire Stick instead.
— if you must keep it connected: put it on a separate IoT VLAN or guest network so it cannot reach your other devices.
— disable the built-in microphone in settings.
— check your privacy dashboard and opt out of ACR and ad personalization.
— after every firmware update: recheck all of the above.

The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.

3/ The interesting stack is becoming: simulation → real-world validation → verifiable inference.
Generate more scenarios, test against reality, then preserve evidence of what the deployed model actually produced.
That loop is where Sertn fits.

The man who helped build the FBI’s FISA process told me the safeguards he created to prevent abuse are gone.
One by one, they’ve been stripped away.
The FISA oversight we’re promised? He says it’s a myth.

1/ Every serious market participant keeps its order flow and positions confidential. A central bank has more reason to do so than anyone.
@utila_io x @bermudabayzk just demoed what that looks like on-chain — a confidential repo operation, live. Thread 🧵

.@RyanNavi , CIO of Forward Industries, on how we built the treasury's RWA strategy:
"We looked at the landscape of investible RWA platforms that can drive sustainable, non-correlated yields. Reinsurance was number one on the list."

researchers created a fake defi startup, hired lazarus it workers, put them into a sandbox and recorded their tooling, workflows, and faces from inside the operation

Flock takes their privacy very seriously.
But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.
Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

Passport Prime gives you 50GB of encrypted storage for your most important files.
So how do you get a file from your computer onto the device without exposing everything already there?
Normally, plugging in a drive works both ways: the computer can read everything and write anything to it. So can any malware on that computer.
Plug in Passport Prime, and the computer sees only one small, separate area: the Airlock. Your 50GB never appears. The computer can't open it, scan it, or tell what's inside.
Drop your file into the Airlock folder on your desktop, like you would with any drive. Then unplug.
Only now, on Passport Prime's screen, do you move the file from the Airlock into your encrypted storage. The last step happens after the computer is out of the picture.
Nothing travels straight from a computer into your vault. Everything passes through an airlock first.
That's why it's called Airlock🔐
