@georgepickett They just needed to create a paper trail to "prove" they didn't just steal Claude Code's recently leaked code.

what an unhinged way to make this announcement

@weezerOSINT OK -- are we to believe these are unintentional?

I just reverse engineered the YellowKey BitLocker bypass Microsoft shipped code that checks for a flag called "FailRelock" in every Windows 11 recovery image. When it's set to 1, after recovery unlocks your BitLocker drive, it never relocks it. All you need is a USB stick. This code only exists in the recovery environment. Not in normal Windows. They left an entire debug testing framework in production.

@jackfriks I already switched everything over to OpenAI. I didn't want to believe it, but 5.3 is better than Opus 4.6 in coding.

anthropic was my favorite ai company 2 weeks ago and now i still love claude but man…

He's got a 512gb ram mac studio with another on the way. he is likely planning to cluster the two via thunderbolt 5 using Exo (github.com/exo-explore/exo) so they effectively operate as one giant 1TB unified memory server. That's likely costing him 20,000, which is many tens of thousands less than it would cost to buy 1TB in NVIDIA cards. It's all very interesting.

@AlexFinn @bernhard_me Which decently capable local model can run efficiently and fast enough on a Mac mini ?

Genuine question @AlexFinn, Your MacStudio still runs Opus via API as the brain, right? You said yourself Henry uses "Opus as its brain and local models as employees." So the $10K MacStudio doesn't replace the $300-750/month API bill. It adds to it without adding value. Doesn't it? A $599 Mac Mini or even a $5/month VPS runs the OpenClaw gateway just fine. The intelligence comes from the API, not the hardware. The local models on you MacStudio handle what exactly basic triage tasks that a 13B model on a Mac Mini could do equally well? What am I missing? What other use case is there. I get the content angle: A Mac Studio "data center" makes a great video. But from a pure architecture standpoint, you're spending $10K on a machine whose main job is forwarding messages to Anthropic's servers. Apologies and please correct me if I'm wrong here. That is the understanding I got from your last post. If there's anything on features and functionality that I don't see yet here. I love your post and your insights.

@T3chFalcon iCloud ADP doesnt encrypt mail, calendar, contacts

Yh it's pretty good for anti tracking and stuff but Apple’s official documentation states that iCloud Mail does not use end-to-end encryption, even with ADP enabled. E2EE will break functionality.

@AutismCapital release everything unredacted

A user on Reddit managed to log into Epstein's Outlook account using the information he found in the officially released files. Epstein's Outlook password was "#1Island" 😂

@WorldMadeOne @TaraBull The animal is innocent. It's behaving exactly as it was wired to. I'll refrain from saying "she deserved it".... but...you know..

@TaraBull This is terrible. That beautiful snow leopard will be destroyed because of her stupidity.

Dude. Come on. "ongoing reading" is not the issue. Services only need to read the same message ONCE -- when it arrives. Then they have the complete contents and metadata. Those saying "Proton is open source" - only the clients are open source. Their server software and configurations are not.

"Proton reads incoming mail in transit" NO, Proton Mail does not inspect your incoming emails while they are in transit. Breakdown: In transit: Inbound emails arrive over TLS encryption (STARTTLS/SMTPS) from the sender's server to Proton's. The server-to-server connection is encrypted, so Proton cannot decrypt or read the content mid-transit. On arrival at Proton servers: - Proton-to-Proton: Full end-to-end zero-knowledge encryption from the start (Proton never sees content). - Non-Proton inbound (e.g. Gmail): TLS delivers plaintext to Proton's edge there's a brief in-memory scan for spam/viruses/malware (temporary server access) then immediately encrypted with zero-access storage using your key. Per Proton's privacy policy: "Such inbound messages are scanned for spam in memory, and then encrypted and written to disk. We do not possess the technical ability to scan the content of the messages after they have been encrypted." So there's no ongoing reading or post-encryption access, but a brief plaintext window for filtering on non-E2E inbound emails.

@BleepinComputer I think by now we can all agree Fortinet is doing this on purpose, right?

Fortinet admins are seeing attackers exploiting a patch bypass for a previously fixed FortiGate authentication bypass (CVE-2025-59718) to hack patched firewalls. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

@T3chFalcon VPN-Tor-VPN. Hides tor use from ISP, hides tor exits node from destination. Must use two vpn accounts (from highly trusted services) acquired/paid anonymously.

Tor through VPN or VPN through Tor? If you had to pick one, which setup makes more sense and why?

@iAnonPatriot UK citizens are already at war....in their own country. And the UK Gov is shackling their hands and feet to ensure they lose.

Keir Starmer says that UK citizens need to prepare for “war-fighting readiness”.. They’re going to ship out all the white men remaining.

I do this today, and let me tell you, it's not even in the same universe as Grok, Claude, or ChatGPT. These models have have 1 trillion+ parameters. What you can reasonably run on a single Mac, or even a cluster of them, won't touch that. On a fully loaded Mac mini, you can run a 35 billion parameter model acceptably fast. But the context windows are unusably low for any serious work. The only real use here is to run a fully uncensored model (Qwen 2.5 35B is the best I've found thus far) for some basic chat, but don't expect to do anything useful.

Before you pay $200/month for another month of Claude code... What about just allocating that $200/month to Apple with a 0% APR? Running a local model in a local agentic coding thing like CC Ironic that the most souped-up m4 Mac Mini comes out to almost exactly $200/month, which is the same price as the Unlimited (Limited) Claude Code. The only questions pending are, what model would you run, and what Agentic coding thing comes close to Claude Code?

@TrumpsHurricane Notice how they all move to white, English speaking locations. Why not go to one of the shitholes they’re constantly defending/promoting?

Amy Schumer Comedian and Niece to Chuck Schumer is moving to London because of Trump. What advice would you give her ??

@0hour1 This is the only Polk county football star that matters.

@BowTiedOffSec @T3chFalcon Well. Tails doesn't have a registry as it isn't Windows. And it's ephemeral, as you've stated. A reboot removes all traces, unless you've configured a persistent partition on the flash drive you're booting off.

@T3chFalcon Interesting, Ive never looked into that. Do you know if this applies to an ephemeral OS like tails?

You think running "Portable Chrome" or "Hacker Tools" from a USB drive keeps you invisible. It doesn't. The second you plug that drive in, Windows logs the Volume Serial Number to the Registry. When the Forensice analyst (or Feds) audit that machine, they see: Device "KingstonDT" connected at 14:00. Prefetch shows "Mimikatz.exe" ran at 14:01. Unplugging the drive didn't scrub the Registry. 💀

@SecDef @PeteHegseth Please hire this woman,@keibenet, as Pentagon press secretary immediately.

She just won the internet — hands down the best reporting on the current Iran situation.😂😭😂

@RonSeverson7 @joewantsadrink Absolutely not. Password protection from files like PDFs or Office files can absolutely be stripped off. In no way encrypted.

@ConstantHawk @joewantsadrink Let’s say the native iOS password protection for a locked pdf file.

PSA from your tired public defender: Please turn Face ID off on your phone and leave it off

@RonSeverson7 @joewantsadrink Like everyday pdf and docx files? What kind of encryption are we talking about?

@ConstantHawk @joewantsadrink Can encrypted password protected files be read via common software?

@Enstrayed @joewantsadrink Will not. You cannot force BFU state in any way other than a shutdown or reboot. "Police mode" (SOS screen, disabling biometrics) does NOT force device into BFU.
