I love that @signal.org is using Microsoft's own DRM copyright API to block Windows from its own stupid new "feature" which takes screenshots of, well, everything and saves them. It's like an intellectual property Jedi mind trick.

Good article about the new AI processing features being added to WhatsApp soon. www.wired.com/story/whatsa...

They dream big, but iterate small.

The people at CBECI were kind enough to send me a copy of their updated Bitcoin power consumption data

At the end of 2024, Bitcoin's total consumption for 2024 *did* end up matching that of Pakistan. 2024 saw the biggest jump in power consumption ever. Absolutely wild stuff ->
