I always wanted an Indian Wired mag. @SwarajyaMag is maybe not there yet (or may not want to be) but have been publishing long form investigative technical pieces that are genuinely insightful. The best in India right now.

That evangelist, came, preached and went back too. How are such people granted visa, be allowed to lead evangelical congregations and boast about it in social media?!! Really depressing

If Tukaram Omble had not sacrificed his life to capture Kasab, the RSS would have faced a witch-hunt.

The AI bubble that’s about to burst is going to be devastating and the only tech company that will survive unscathed is Apple.

OH HOW THE TABLES TURN

The way SD cards fail is…gross. Anyone that does heavy photography or video work knows they’ll gradually get slow; often without outright failing. I blame the SD association. The storage controller isn't required to report *any* health information to the host!

Amazed at how many people are surprised by this fact

60 crores on working Monday. Narayana Murthy's worst nightmare 😭😭

@AadeshRawal 🚨 Fact-Check : As you can see in the letter you posted, the date is 2019. The BJP stamp is receipt acknowledgement stamp by BJP Kerala office. This was well documented and reported then. Kindly do not spread fake news.

Swarajya focussing on Indigenisation rather than Aravindan Neekandan slop is a good sign

@mchellap @amargov @astrokaran Let me tell you a secret. My suggestion is that you see who all the middle managers at Indian Automotive Giants were and are, then check if their kids are studying in European Colleges or have studied there or work for Euro Companies. 😂 This will explain everything.

My piece at Swarajya on who actually owns the brains behind India's Automotive industry. This is blowing up, and I am learning from the responses as well! Keep 'em coming. @amargov @astrokaran

Now compare the characters in hello bachchon w/ the black kid in blood diamond. Former are much more privileged than the latter. Keep digging and you’d find even worse. What’s your point even..

The latest MacBook is way more secure than the latest Framework laptop and it’s not even close. MacBook Neo starts at $599 and runs the A18 Pro with a full Secure Enclave (the same Secure Enclave architecture as M-series Macs). The $599 model ships with a Lock Key instead of Touch ID. The $699 model adds Touch ID - which unlocks biometric authentication through the Secure Enclave. The Framework Laptop 13 starts at $899 for the DIY edition and $1,099 pre-built. You are paying $300 to $500 more for a device that ships with a weaker default security posture and requires more user effort to harden. On Apple silicon - the Secure Enclave is a dedicated secure subsystem isolated from the main processor (with its own secure boot process, encrypted memory with anti-replay, and a hardware root of trust). Apple silicon Macs use Apple’s own boot chain (rather than the conventional PC UEFI Secure Boot stack). FileVault key handling occurs in the Secure Enclave, and encryption keys are never directly exposed to the CPU. The key-encryption key is protected by the user’s password + the device’s hardware UID, making storage effectively hardware-bound (in a way ordinary TPM-backed disk encryption is not). Framework uses the standard PC security model: TPM 2.0-backed platform protections + Insyde UEFI firmware. That gap showed up in the October 2025 BombShell disclosure. Eclypsium found that Framework-signed UEFI shells exposed memory-modification functionality that could bypass Secure Boot, load unsigned pre-OS code, and still leave the machine appearing to have Secure Boot enabled. Roughly 200,000 devices were affected. Apple silicon has its own hardware-level problems. The GoFetch vulnerability affects M1, M2, and M3 chips. It exploits the Data Memory-Dependent Prefetcher to leak cryptographic key material through cache timing side channels. That flaw is in the silicon itself and cannot be removed through software updates. macOS ships with a dense default defense stack: secure boot on Apple silicon, Secure Enclave-backed FileVault, System Integrity Protection, hardware-based Kernel Integrity Protection, Gatekeeper plus notarization, XProtect, sandboxing, and TCC privacy controls. A Framework laptop can be hardened well - but the outcome depends on which OS you chose and how carefully you configured it. [you can run Qubes OS - which uses the Xen hypervisor with hardware virtualization support to isolate workloads into separate VMs. macOS has no equivalent compartmentalization model.] Framework ships hardware privacy switches that electrically disconnect the webcam and microphone. When OFF - the devices have no power and no data bus connection. MacBooks have a hardware mic disconnect that triggers when the lid closes. Framework’s weakness remains firmware update maturity. Its 12th-gen Intel BIOS vulnerability was disclosed publicly on September 2022, and the first beta with fixes arrived about 92 days later. For default security at this price point, nothing else is close.

Full credit to young @upamanyu95 who has doggedly pursued the issue. TMC Government’s nose was rubbed in the dust today.

there was a major air crash in NYC but there’s barely any discussion/outrage on it... a fire truck crossing a jet landing at full speed at one of the busiest airports in the world is an unbelievable lapse and it’s not even trending here.
