@FilmLaddndeed one of the main reasons that Starlink must remain a civilian operation.

It can be used for infrastructure that is military, but it cannot be used for unequivocally offensive strikes that make it fair game to be struck back.

An adversary blowing up Starlink satellites would create a domino effect of destruction that would generate a vast field of debris making space unusable.

This is the last one we’ll experience in our lifetime.

Claude Code found every photo i "permanently deleted" from my iPhone. 3 years of deleted photos and videos sitting in a hidden cache on my device that any app with file access can read.

i plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. had Claude Code doing the security audit lagged something i wasn't even looking for. a directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails with over 147,000 files. photos, videos, screenshots. every single one was something i deleted.

photos from 2023. 2024. 2025. photos i deleted the second after taking them. photos i went into Recently Deleted and manually hit Delete All on. photos i deleted three separate times because i wanted to be absolutely sure they were gone. all still there.

what was sitting in that cache:

a photo of my passport i took for a visa application in 2023
screenshots of my bank app with full account numbers visible
private photos i sent someone and immediately deleted after a breakup
a screenshot of my crypto seed phrase i took "temporarily" in 2022
a photo of my ID and credit card i took to remember the numbers and deleted 5 seconds later
screenshots of my ex's private instagram stories i saved and "permanently deleted" in 2023

147,863 files in total. some of them were full resolution and all of them were organized by date going back to 2021.

when you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and your Recently Deleted folder. but it keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search index cache. this is how your phone finds photos when you type a word in search. Apple never clears it. not after 30 days. not after a year. not ever. they told you it was permanently deleted. it wasn't.

i checked which apps on my phone had Files and Folders access. 23 apps. weather apps. QR code scanners. PDF readers. a flashlight app i downloaded in 2022. any one of them could have been reading every photo i ever "deleted" this entire time.

went from 23 apps to 3 in about two minutes.

the full step by step is below. takes 2 minutes. save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone with an iPhone.

We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech!

Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs.

This is a GPT3 moment for speech.

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.

The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Did Volodymyr Zelensky really spit at the feet of Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf after the King refused to shake his hand?

The look on the King’s face speaks volumes.....

무지성 난민 받은 프랑스 VS 난민 거부한 폴란드

🚨🇵🇱 ÚLTIMA HORA: POLONIA NO JUEGA

El eurodiputado polaco Dominik Tarczyński lanzó una advertencia contundente:

«No se acerquen a la frontera polaca. De lo contrario, estarán muertos. Les dispararán hasta matarlos».

Europa tiene mucho lo que aprender de Polonia.
