๐Ÿƒ Solar-Powered Artificial Leaf Harvests Water To Create Hydrogen Fuel
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

A device that can harvest water from the air and provide hydrogen fuelโ€”entirely powered by solar energyโ€”has been a dream for researchers for decades. Now, EPFL chemical engineer Kevin Sivula and his team have made a significant step towards bringing this vision closer to reality.

They have developed an ingenious yet simple system that combines semiconductor-based technology with novel electrodes that have two key characteristics: they are porous, to maximize contact with water in the air; and transparent, to maximize sunlight exposure of the semiconductor coating. When the device is simply exposed to sunlight, it takes water from the air and produces hydrogen gas. The results are published on 4 January 2023 in
Advanced Materials.

๐Ÿ“ฃ CALLING TELEGRAM ADMINS: End Spam In Your Group By Hiding Your Member's List
@takebackourtech | ADVISORY

As spam attacks have ramped up over the past few months, admins of Telegram groups have a new protection in their arsenal.

Thanks to the good folks at @takebackourtech_chat for bringing this to my attention! We've now enabled it in our groups!

Now groups with 100 members or more can hide their member list, this will prevent spam bots from contacting everyone (in the future, they may have saved old lists)

First - make sure you're using the latest version of Telegram.

You can enable this protection in your group by:
Manage Group > Members > Hide Members

I wasn't able to see this option in Telegram FOSS, but I did find it in Telegram Desktop.

Apparently it has also been released in ForkGram, an alternative Telegram client.

Score one for us!

Privacy Watchdog: ATF Uses Stingrays To Track Americans

The Project for Privacy & Surveillance Accountability announced this week that it has obtained records about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosivesโ€™ use of stingrays to track Americans.

Stingrays are a relatively new technology that simulate cell towers and collect signals from devices nearby.

PPSA filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the ATF in February 2021, and announced on Wednesday that it had received a batch of documents. According to PPSA, those documents show that the agency uses stingrays.

โ€œThe information released by the ATF confirms the agency is indeed utilizing stingray technology,โ€ PPSA said. โ€œAlthough the agency attempted to minimize the usage of stingrays, it is clear they are being widely used against Americans.โ€

PPSA has not published the documents it received, but described some of their contents.

โ€œThe ATF stressed that stingrays are not precise location trackers like GPS, despite the plethora of information stingrays can still provide,โ€ the organization said. โ€œAnswers to questions from the Senate Appropriations Committee about the ATFโ€™s usage of stingrays and license plate reader technology are entirely blacked out in the ATF documents we received.โ€

PPSA added that ATF policy conceals the use of these devices from their targets, even when relevant to their legal defense.

PPSA said thereโ€™s an example of this in the documents it received.

โ€œWhen an ATF agent interviewed by a defense attorney revealed the use of the equipment, a large group email was sent out saying: โ€˜This was obviously a mistake and is being handled,โ€™โ€ the privacy watchdog said.

PPSA said it will continue to track stingray usage and report the responses it receives to its FOIA requests with various federal agencies.

Civil liberties activists have noted that the use of stingrays by law enforcement dramatically increased after the U.S. Supreme Courtโ€™s ruling in Carpenter v. U.S., which found that law enforcementโ€™s warrantless collection of cell phone geolocation data violated the Fourth Amendment. Instead of obtaining warrants, police agencies have used stingrays as a workaround.

Apple Is Collecting Your Photos on macOS
@takebackourtech | SOURCE

#crapple #leaptolinux

One of my favorite security researchers Jeffrey Paul is back with another expose on Apple - this time he discovered his macOS computer connecting to Apple when he was browsing his photos.

Today, Apple scanned my local files and those scanning programs attempted to talk to Apple APIs, even though I donโ€™t use iCloud, Apple Photos, or an Apple ID. This would have happened without my knoweldge or consent if I were not running third-party network monitoring software.

He makes the case that scanning of photos is connected to Apple's desires for scanning all photos for 'CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material)', while Apple's marketing tells you that 'privacy is a human right'.

Who knows what types of media governments will legally require Apple to scan for in the future? Today itโ€™s CP, tomorrow itโ€™s cartoons of the prophet (PBUH please donโ€™t decapitate me). One thing you can be sure of is that this database of images for which your hardware will now be used to scan will regularly be amended and updated by people who are not you and are not accountable to you.

This is your first and only warning: Stock macOS now invades your privacy via the Internet when browing local files, taking actions that no reasonable person would expect to touch the network, with iCloud and all analytics turned off, no Apple apps launched (this happened in the Finder, via spacebar preview), and no Apple ID input. You have been notified of this new reality. You will receive no further warnings on the topic.

This is just going to accelerate the popularity of Linux! Cant wait to share the Above Book with yall.

Little-Known Surveillance Program Captures Money Transfers Between U.S. and More Than 20 Countries

Hundreds of federal, state and local U.S. law-enforcement agencies have access without court oversight to a database of more than 150 million money transfers between people in the U.S. and in more than 20 countries, according to internal program documents and an investigation by Sen. Ron Wyden.

The database, housed at a little-known nonprofit called the Transaction Record Analysis Center, or TRAC, was set up by the Arizona state attorney generalโ€™s office in 2014 as part of a settlement reached with Western Union to combat cross-border trafficking of drugs and people from Mexico.

It has since expanded to allow officials of more than 600 law-enforcement entitiesโ€”from federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to small-town police departments in nearly every stateโ€”to monitor the flow of funds through money services between the U.S. and countries around the world.

Friends,

Thanks for supporting the Greater Reset this week! It's been an amazing 5 days providing solutions in the areas of health, decentralized tech, building parallel networks, building community, and permaculture!

Thanks to everyone who supports mine and Miriam's efforts to bring people together in Mexico. And shout out to John, Rebecca, and the Texas team.

Over the last 5 days I have met people from a dozen countries, sharing their stories of terror during COVID1984, and then finding The Freedom Cell Network and The Greater Reset, and realizing there is hope!

The hope is not false solutions - politics, violence, apathy - but in each of us coming together, taking personal responsibility, and building new systems for the coming generations!

Also, thanks to everyone who is supporting the effort of The Conscious Agora! We have raised just over 6k so far for our project AND we need much more support to make this vision a reality!

I am calling on all those who support my efforts - if you have never donated to my work in any way before, I am asking you to do so now! This is the time I truly need the support of my community out there in the real world and online.

Please watch our video for The Conscious Agora in this link and support if you can! Share with your friends and family!

Much love.

Has 5G Reached Your Town?

Today while I was running an internet speed test I came across Ookla's map of 5G deployments. I was thinking that 5G wouldn't have reached many of the suburbs in America and especially towns in Mexico - but I was wrong, its sneakily been deployed everywhere.
