Not exactly. SpaceX requires that there be no annoying “portal” to use Starlink. Starlink WiFi must just work effortlessly every time, as though you were at home. Delta wanted to make it painful, difficult and expensive for their customers. Hard to see how that is a winning strategy.

Dear Dogecoin, not immediately crypto related, but: take care of your online data. And keep it offline whenever you can. I have worked for nearly 30 years with communities and internet forums, mostly providing maintenance and support. Over the past few weeks, due to a security bug in cPanel - one of the most popular pieces of software used to host hundreds of thousands of websites - thousands and thousands of websites have been defaced, hacked, and had data either destroyed or stolen. One thing I noticed compared to the past: I have never seen this level of maliciousness and carelessness on such a scale. The "hackers" often completely destroyed the data while asking for a ransom, but in reality, in most cases they did not even hold a copy of that data anymore. In some cases, they even targeted and managed to destroy all backup copies attached to the main server. I spent the past week helping old friends recover their sites from the brink of oblivion. These are communities into which people poured a lot of passion and effort, and script kids using AI tools to automate the hack, trying to extort some BTC, had no qualms about completely destroying them. And here is the segue to crypto and your data: make multiple copies of your important data, including your crypto keys, and ALWAYS store them completely offline. Unless you want to lose it all. Not to be an alarmist, but times have changed, and the risks are higher than they have ever been. Right now there is a dangerous asymmetry (in costs, too): AI makes it much easier to probe and break into systems, while defending them still means protecting countless points of entry, including vulnerabilities that have not yet been discovered in widely used libraries and software. And the practice devs have had for a (too) long time to blindly include third party libraries into their software make it almost a certainty you are currently using software and websites that are no longer safe for your data.



NOW - King Charles: "My ministers will also proceed with the introduction of Digital ID."
