In a surprising turn, the libarchive talk became relevant to @Ange interests.

Täuscht das eigentlich, oder ist es in #CCHSaalZ (derzeit wegen #38C3 aka #38C3ZigZag) deutlich kühler, als im Rest des CCH (von der zugigen Eingangshalle mal abgesehen)? 🥶

@drwhax In 2021, a member of the German federal government asked the federal administration about usage of Candiru / Saito Tech spyware. The government declined to answer because of a purported danger to state security.
Did Amnesty find out if Candiru was ever used by German police or intelligence services? #38C3zigzag

Questions round in #38C3zigzag - I'd like to add book recommendations, "Focus" by Hijink and "Chip War" by Miller. (From memory)

Presents the technical processes required to manufacture state-of-the-art computer chips w particular emphasis will be placed on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.

More astounding facts: most complicated machine ever build, seen in #38C3zigzag #semiconductor talk: 350M give or take per machine. Now imagine building a fab for those, and you're in the 10-20bn range per site. #38C3 has you covered

Fantastic slides there in #38C3zigzag #semiconductor talk!

Excellent introduction there at #38C3zigzag I dig the succinctness :)

some crackling in #38C3ZigZag audio too…

not really sure what to think about the #claypcb project showcased in #38c3zigzag just now – i don't really see the point? it seems kind of performative? why should you try to get silver scraps from goldsmiths and fire a clay tablet? if recycling is the concern there surely are more practical ways (get _electrical_ wire scraps for example)??

There's a lot of crackling when using mics for questions in #38C3ZigZag btw… #38C3
