Little wins.
By the way, EFF accepts crypto if you want to support their amazing work. I try to donate at least once a year if I can.

Google wants your phone to remember every "important conversation" that happens throughout your day. Going to start making visitors to my house drop their phones in a sound proof faraday bag at the door.

Age verification is a precursor to identity attribution where governments link digital accounts to physical identities.
By tying speech to real-life personas, authorities bypass the investigative burden of identifying anonymous users like PickleDog52.
These age verification laws create an automated system for tracking and prosecuting individuals for inconvenient speech.
The primary goal is the state's desire to simplify law enforcement by forcing users to sacrifice anonymity and privacy.

The KIDS Act, a new U.S. bill, would force online platforms to verify users ages, potentially requiring identity checks like driver's licenses.
It targets minors under 17 by imposing legal risks on platforms if they "know or should have known" a user is underage.
To avoid liability, platforms might adopt broad age-checking systems, which could harm privacy and disproportionately affect marginalized groups.
The bill also pressures platforms to police lawful speech and regulate private and encrypted messaging, raising concerns about censorship and weakened security.
Critics argue it threatens free expression, privacy, and internet accessibility for all users.

Surveillance of your headphones, car, mobile phone, all at once by cameras that read license plates
The proposal comes from Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions, the American division of the Leonardo company specializing in cybersecurity and security solutions for law enforcement agencies.
https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/06/24/cops-will-soon-upgrade-to-license-plate-readers-that-can-track-your-iphone-and-airpods-in-public
What they are offering is an improvement for the cameras that already read vehicle license plates. This update adds the ability to also capture the wireless signals emitted by personal devices (Bluetooth, WiFi, and RFID) from mobile phones like iPhones, AirPods headphones, smartwatches, and other similar devices.

Even if you're a boring guy like me it's important to be able to know if someone is following you.
I drove around this black truck earlier today that was stopped in the middle of the road on a small street, sharing a friendly waive. Afterwards something seemed strange how close they were following so I decided to keep driving past my destination making turns on streets I know well as to not get stuck in a dead end.
The black truck followed me through 1 stop sign, 1 right turn, 1 left turn, and 1 more left turn into a parking lot where they rolled down the window to yell at me for driving around them. I apologized to de-escalate the situation and they continued to not let me speak by screaming. Next time I'm not stopping in a parking lot.
Potentially aggressive, reckless driving, and|or harassment based on the laws in the current state I'm in.
Great camera work by me on getting the perfect license plate shot. 🤳🏻

• ≤14 biz days for battery replacement (If possible due to "vintage" 2019 MBP status)
• Prep process of removing personal info before handing over device with Firmware password disabled
password disabled
1. Disable Find My Mac so support can run diagnostics
2. Back up offline locally stored Proton Drive files
3. Disconnect Proton Drive syncing, uninstall app, and then delete local files
4. Back up Mac apps and config with Time Machine
5. Clear Brave cache and cookies to sign out of everything (Also on Firefox and Chrome)
6. Sign out of desktop apps
7. Remove camera privacy cover
8. Remove Velcro strips for privacy screen spacer
9. Re set up all of the above if|once fixed
I will be impressed and thankful if Apple is able to fix the MBP with 7 years of coverage.

I kinda tuned out of the Solana ecosystem for awhile now, and while I wasn't looking apparently people have been building all kinds of privacy tech over there.
Nice to see that the little privacy szn we had recently, combined with AI coding tools, has led to a Cambrian explosion in privacy focused projects.
Not just on Solana of course, everywhere! It gives me a little hope when I see counter surveillance freedom tech exploding as fast or faster than surveillance tech is being adopted. A few years ago, very few people were building privacy tech in crypto. Now it's cool again.
Be careful though half of it is vaporware scammy shit, but there is definitely legitimate building happening. I will check out some of these and report on them in the next edition of TCTH
