The Tor Project and most security experts advise against combining Tor and VPNs because it often reduces anonymity rather than enhancing it, despite some users seeking to hide their Tor usage from their ISP. Why experts recommend stopping Exceptions where it might be useful Recommended Alternatives Combining Tor with a VPN is a commonly discouraged practice
The concept of “making Linux ungovernable” involves using the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) to anonymize and decentralize access to Linux distributions and package management, circumventing potential censorship like age verification laws. By routing downloads of ISOs and packages through I2P’s encrypted, distributed darknet, users can maintain autonomy over their systems without reliance on centralized, potentially regulated internet infrastructure.
USB-less installation tools like ULLI (USB-Less Linux Installer) now allow users to install Linux directly from Windows or another Linux distribution without needing a USB flash drive or external media. This software, currently in alpha, runs a script that downloads the chosen distribution ISO and configures the system to boot into it, effectively bypassing the need for physical installation media.
Chinese AI labs DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax allegedly created 24,000 fake accounts to run over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its reasoning, coding abilities, and chain-of-thought logic to train their own models. Anthropic traced the activity to specific researchers and described the operation as an industrial-scale theft using proxy networks to disguise traffic. Separately, a lone hacker exploited Claude—along with
A hacker with no coding skills leveraged AI tools like Claude and DeepSeek to breach over 600 corporate firewalls across 55 countries in just 39 days. The attack, dubbed an “AI Assembly Line” by Amazon’s security team, used DeepSeek to generate attack scripts and organize stolen data, while Claude produced vulnerability reports during intrusions. The hacker targeted exposed FortiGate firewalls,
The ASML Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine is widely identified as the world’s most important machine, serving as the sole tool capable of printing the cutting-edge microchips that power modern artificial intelligence, smartphones, and supercomputers. Manufactured exclusively by the Dutch company ASML, these 150-tonne colossi are priced between $200 million and $350 million each and are indispensable for producing chips with
Roy Masters emphasized that our energy originates from our source of motivation—either good (aligned with God or inner grace) or evil (rooted in ego, pride, or self-serving desires). He taught that when energy comes from the ego, it leads to conflict, manipulation, and spiritual decay. He warned that “those people kill you with their kindness”—a phrase reflecting his
OpenClaw has become a focal point of controversy, with mounting evidence suggesting that its viral explosion was orchestrated through a recursive astroturfing campaign. The tool itself—a locally hosted AI agent framework—was initially legitimate, built by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger. However, a Reddit user on r/claude provides detailed proof that the sudden surge in popularity, from ~10k to 149k
Microsoft’s Copilot initiative is facing significant challenges, with growing evidence of poor user adoption, internal restructuring, and financial strain. Despite a $50 billion investment in AI infrastructure, Copilot’s commercial performance has fallen short. Only 15 million Copilot seats sold out of 450 million Microsoft 365 users (a 3.3% adoption rate), and leaked data suggests just 8 million active licensed users as
Google has implemented structured processes for reviewing video content across its platforms, particularly YouTube and Google Business Profiles. These reviews are conducted through a combination of automated systems and human experts to ensure compliance with advertiser-friendly guidelines and business verification standards. For YouTube, videos may be flagged as “Not suitable for most advertisers” based on
