    Google will only back up your texts to Google Drive (which is not encrypted).
    So in essence you are taking your end to end encrypted chats, and backing them up to an un-encrypted state, where google (and anyone else who manages to get access to your google drive) can read all of them

  4. "Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: Analyzing their SSD activity"
    arstechnica.com/security/2026/

    Writing 1 gigabyte of data via browser"s javascript to a SSD to fingerprint users? Meh.

    "Unlike previous contention side-channel attacks on SSDs, FROST runs exclusively in the browser. It uses JavaScript that interacts with the OPFS (origin private file system), an allocated storage space that’s reserved for a specific site to run code needed to complete a given task. Websites can create one with no interaction required by the visitor." #frost #websec #fingerprint #Security #opfs

  5. Telling people they are being stupid for using app X over your preferred app Y, or OS A instead of OS B (OS B being Linux, let's be real) in the name of #safety, #activism, #privacy, #security or any other reason is actively harmful, you're not helping anybody, and nobody deserves to be called stupid. There's dozens of reasons why people can't, or won't switch, #accessibility being one of them, and if you have the energy to bitch and moan on social media platform ABC about these so-called stupid people, you clearly have enough energy to go lower those entry barriers so please just go do that instead and let people be who they need to be. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. jesus f***ing Christ people.

    If you don’t want these features, here are some ways to turn them off:

    Method 1: wp-config constant

    You can add the WP_AI_SUPPORT constant to your wp-config.php file:

  17. Hey folks,

    Someone is running a spear phishing attack against my tiny business, which feels unexpected given the size of my organization (just me).

    Could you recommend some simple ways I can stop the attack? It involves extremely well-designed emails from various compromised email addresses that impersonate the SendGrid system and use very plausible messages.

    My main concern is that this could evolve into something more sinister. I don't mind blocking all emails containing "SendGrid," but I would rather do something that could make those people move on and not come back.

    Thanks so much!

  29. Japan Supports Oil Diversification In Southeast Asia

    For a few months now, the economies of Southeast Asian nations have been affected by the higher costs of imported oil from the Middle East and there is no telling what evil the terrorist state of Iran could do with regards to the critical Strait of Hormuz. As such, the need for Southeast Asian nations to diversify their crude oil procurement sources is clear and Japan confirmed it will help them, according to a news article by Jiji Press with additional content from Manila Bulletin.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of Jiji Press. Some parts in boldface…

    The Japanese government plans to help Southeast Asian countries diversify their crude oil procurement sources, in order to stabilize petrochemical supply chains amid the ongoing Middle East tensions.

    Faced with recent energy shocks following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Southeast Asian nations, which depend heavily on imported crude oil, are working to reduce their reliance on Middle East oil.

    The Philippines has depended on the Middle East for more than 90 pct of its crude oil imports. In March, the Philippines declared a national energy emergency due to soaring crude oil prices.

    The Southeast Asian nation recently started importing crude oil from Russia, even while some countries have reduced or halted imports from Russia as part of sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine. The Philippines has also shown a willingness to pursue joint oil and gas exploration with China in the South China Sea, where the two countries have territorial disputes.

    Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in a recent interview, “I don’t think that we will go back to the old system where the majority of the petroleum products that are coming out of the Strait of Hormuz are going to Asia.”

    Marcos expressed expectations that Asian countries will further advance the diversification of their crude oil supply sources in the coming years.

    Other member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, such as Thailand and Vietnam, are also seeking to diversify their procurement of crude oil by increasing imports from the United States and African countries, in addition to Russia.

    At an ASEAN summit in Cebu in the Philippines earlier this month, leaders reaffirmed in a joint statement their commitment to diversifying crude oil procurement sources and promoting energy trade in the region. They also exchanged views on the idea of establishing joint oil and gas reserves.

    Meanwhile, the Japanese government is wary of the potential impact on domestic supply chains if supply chains in Southeast Asia, a petrochemical manufacturing hub, are disrupted.

    Supporting supply chains in Asian countries will directly contribute to strengthening the Japanese economy,” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said, indicating her intention to support ASEAN.

    In April, the Japanese government announced a framework to provide financial support of 10 billion dollars, or around 1.6 trillion yen, to help stabilize energy supplies in Asian countries.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think Japan’s support for oil diversification in Southeast Asia is crucial for both itself and the region? Do you think Japan’s $10 billion plan will succeed in stabilizing the energy supplies of Asian nations? Do you think the Philippines will fall into an economic recession this year if the oil prices remained high? Do you think it is a wise idea for the Philippines to pursue a joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea with Communist China?

  33. Japanese Business Leaders Pledge $3.4 Billion Worth Of Investments For The Philippines

    The Philippines, which is already struggling with weak economic growth, high fuel prices and rapid inflation, got a boost thanks to Japanese business leaders who pledged investments worth $3.4 billion for the country, according to a news report by GMA News.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

    President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday secured stronger commitments for deeper economic integration during a high-level roundtable meeting with top Japanese business executives at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

    In his meeting with leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions, Marcos bagged an aggregate investment commitment of $3.4 billion (approximately P210 billion) from participating Japanese corporations.

    In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said these combined capital inflows are “projected to catalyze substantive macroeconomic benefits, expanding domestic industrial capacity and directly generating thousands of high-quality, specialized jobs for Filipinos.”

    The PCO added that the infusion “underscores the resilience of the Philippine market, promising long-term economic dividends by fortifying local supply chains, upgrading tourism infrastructure, and accelerating technology transfers across critical growth sectors.”

    The President is in Tokyo for a four-day state visit upon the invitation of the Japanese government.

    In his remarks, Marcos said a robust Philippine-Japan economic corridor is critical and that laying the groundwork for an enhanced, unified partnership is essential to navigate global difficulties, build resilience, and sustain momentum.

    “As we mark 70 years of the normalization of our diplomatic relations, we are no longer simply commemorating history. We are entering a new chapter – a chapter defined not only by friendship, but by deeper integration, shared growth, and a common belief in the future,” the President told the leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions.

    He outlined a unified government approach spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).

    “The Philippines is pursuing a clear national direction: building an economy where infrastructure, industry, finance, human capital, and connectivity move together as one system of growth,” Marcos said.

    “Increasingly, we recognize that trade and tourism will be among the most important engines of that growth.”

    He underscored the importance of stronger trade and tourism linkages, saying these are not supporting sectors but “core drivers of economic expansion in the Philippines moving forward.”

    “This is a philosophy our two countries understand deeply,” the President said.

    He also acknowledged the foundational contributions of several Japanese firms operating in the Philippines, such as All Nippon Airways, Toyota, Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni, Panasonic, and Fast Retailing.

    He thanked these Japanese investors for their continued confidence in the Philippine economy and for helping create high-quality opportunities for Filipino workers and industries.

    You are no longer just investors in our economy. You are builders of it,” Marcos told the Japanese business leaders.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the $3.4 billion investment pledge by Japanese corporations will be a huge boost for the Philippines’ economy? Do you consider the ties of Japan and the Philippines healthy today?
