This can't be more true. Christians are one of the shadiest group of people in the world. Many such cases:

The fastest way to become an atheist is to read the Bible, but the fastest way to become a Christian is to catch a criminal charge.

Holy sh*t. Claude Code just found a hidden chip inside my Chinese power bank from Guangzhou. Every time I charged my iPhone, it quietly copied the whole phone…
It also read our saved Wi-Fi password off my iPhone, got onto our home network and sent everything to a server.
I bought it for $19 at an airport kiosk there 3 weeks ago. No brand, 30,000 mAh on the label, and it felt heavy.
The first time I plugged in, the screen asked "Trust This Computer?". I tapped Trust without thinking and went on with my day. That one tap gave it access to everything.
This morning I finally set up Claude Code to warn me when any device starts reading my files. An hour later, 10 seconds into charging, the screen filled with yellow warnings, then red ones: data was moving when it should only be charging.
I asked Claude Code what was going on. My phone saw the power bank as a small computer with 64 GB of storage and its own internet connection.
A USB cable has wires for power and wires for data, and a normal charger only uses the power ones. This one used both, and it had already copied all of this:
→ /device → IMEI and serial number
→ /contacts → 1,206 numbers
→ /apps → every app I have, including my 2 bank apps
→ /photos → 3,912 pictures, my passport among them
→ /wifi → our network name and its key
→ /wife's iPhone → her photos too, she charged from it twice and tapped Trust too
Each time we plugged in, it used that key to get online and send out the new files:
sends to → 47.***.***.12
uploads → 19 in 3 weeks
last one → last night at 2:14, while we slept
I pulled the cable right away. Then Claude Code blocked that address on our router and walked me through changing the Wi-Fi password and the logins for my bank apps.
I had it opened at a repair shop, and what was inside is in the first comment. A 30-second check for your own is in the second one. Save this and test every power bank in your house today.

JUST IN: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 Chinese businesswoman with close ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang identified as spy secretly passing information to China's government.
Day 4 of self-sustained ETH DCA experiment.
Initial balance:
ETH: 3.6455
wstETH: 0.1177
AAVE: 40.96
Current balance:
ETH: 3.8551
wstETH: 0.1177
AAVE: 40.96
Current debt:
USDT: 400.05
Just to clarify:
1. This account started with other tokens. They will continue to be there, but I will not buy tokens that aren't ETH.
2. I might buy wstETH instead of raw ETH for higher APY.
3. Other funds may enter this account, but they will not affect the experiment. Just in case someone found the address and see other funds enter.
4. Future updates will be under this post unless we hit huge milestones.
Doing an experiment
Starting from 3.64 ETH
Put them in AAVE as collateral
Borrow $100 usdt every day
Use that $100 to buy ETH
Add those ETH to the collateral
Will I be able to do this indefinitely without external funding or selling ETH?

Day 217 of "borrow $100 everyday to buy ETH to borrow more money" experiment.
Total debt: $21,946
ETH acquired: 10.6806
Avg buy price: $2,055
PnL: $6,059
Disclosure:
I sold some ETH when CLARITY failed to pass, expecting a price drop. I immediately bought back the next day at almost the same price.
Given that if I made money in that trade, I would have sent it to my other account, not counting it as profits of this experiment, the loss shouldn't be count as part of this exepriment either.
The loss was 0.0013 ETH, so I've added 0.0013 ETH to this account to undo the "unrelated to this experiment" loss.
I did not undo the gas paid in those actions. "Gas fees are absorbed as rounding error" is the rule I set since the beginning. This makes the result look slightly worse than it actually is, not better.
Someone should tell Trump, if you are on the same side as Hasan Piker, you are probably on the wrong side.
Hasan Piker just uploaded a new YouTube Short: ''UKRAINE IS TRYING TO START WORLD WAR 3.''
He blasts Ukraine for attacking an Iranian ship while ignoring the fact that Iran has spent years bombing Ukrainian cities with Shahed drones.
Absolutely disgusting communist SCUM.

Vitalik presented mathematical evidence that lattice based cryptography is weak.
Charles:
Charles Hoskinson just accused Vitalik Buterin of bag-holding outdated crypto research.
Hoskinson claims $ETH is locked into an algebraic dead end with hash-based tools, arguing that Vitalik is talking down lattice encryption simply to protect Ethereum's roadmap.
While Vitalik points to hypothetical AI threats, Hoskinson notes that lattice math has already survived 40 years of rigorous cryptanalysis and earned NIST standardization.

I have been critical about cold wallet for years. A chrome extension is easy to audit and set up strict file and memory access control. A cold wallet is just running on whatever code the buffoon companies came up with.

Hey, @TeamYouTube, I wonder if you could help me understand something. A viewer in France sent me this screenshot. She searched for ‘China Uncensored’ and got “no results found”.
So then I did an incognito YouTube search this morning for “China.” I scrolled through 663 videos. Not one of them was from China Uncensored. I scrolled until it ran out of results. I got suggestions for videos with 4 views. I got channels with 2 subscribers. I got videos repeated two or three times.
And I got video after video of people gushing about how great China is. But no China Uncensored, despite having over 2 million subscribers and publishing four episodes a week.
So while YouTube's search is promoting pro-CCP content, China Uncensored has lost a third of our views compared to last year. Maybe this is also something the @ChinaSelect would like to know about?

In Africa they smash road drainage structures with concrete blocks to extract the iron and resell it as scrap.
BREAKING: Instantaneous frequency based algorithm no longer think Bitcoin has a 4-year cycle.
The largest cycle switched from 4 years to 20 years. It means a 20-year cycle fits the data better than a 4-year cycle.
The second largest cycle (2 years) is disappearing. The strongest non-decades cycle remaing is a 1-year cycle. That fits the seasonality in recent years.

Blocking me after losing a debate is one thing.
Unblock to say some bullshit and immediately block again so I can't reply is a new low.
Christians, what's wrong with your people?

This is what the empty right vs. left spectrum is meant to hide.
🤖 Made with AI
The political ideological spectrum is not right vs. left, but statism/collectivism vs. individualism.
Socialism, Communism, and Fascism are all forms of statism/collectivism.
This is what the empty right vs. left spectrum is meant to hide.
Only individualism results in Capitalism: the social system of freedom, based on the recognition of individual rights.

The cryptographic world computer:

My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties.
FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.
