defraudbahon The Rapper 50 Cent, Adjusted for Inflation

awesome website!

looking forward to see websites for $uicideboy$, C-Note, 2 Chainz, maybe Lil $1

mac mini is amazing, even though happy to hear people play games on macbooks

it says "up to 14 hours more than intel based mpro", which means intel was designed to last 10 hours which matches what was advertised https://web.archive.org/web/20201109092341/https://www.apple...

we went from 10 hours to 24 hours in 5 years - impressive

i wonder why they advertise gaming on the laptop, anyone plays anything Meaningful on macbooks?

defraudbahon Subverting Telegram's end-to-end encryption (2023)

went through it again, you are right, network access alone isn't enough. It's more about installing a third party app (like telegram desktop or modified version from the store if intervened by the government or any other 3d party)

but the protocol itself does not look reliable, since encoding 85% of messages is quite easy once you change your message padding a bit according to the paper unlike what's used in signal

defraudbahon Subverting Telegram's end-to-end encryption (2023)

in short, you don't need access to the device, only to the same network

if you are on the same network and manage either intercept key to bruteforce it or guess encryption key with emoji it's possible to decrypt the whole chat. It works because telegram random generator uses time and some device information which is predictable

the study managed to decrypt 500 messages out of 500 on emulator devices. Brutewforcing takes like a few $100 worth of computing power

Honestly, durovs are exceptional people and enterpreneurs, however their encryption and what they say isn't always what it presented as
