This was a problem solved by Diffie and Hellman in the 1970s

Last time I tried that, they banned the telegram account.

Unfortunately companies like Telegram see emulators and they get false-positive banned by their fraud systems

Crypto works. Nobody can break good encryption.

You can make an argument for store now, break after quantum leap or whatever. But, no, if the US wants to spy on the communications of their enemies, they can’t do it by breaking encryption.

Telegram desktop doesn’t support e2ee

If its SMS, they dont need access to your desktop because they can either sniff it on the network or social engineer the provider. SMS is less secure than nothing.

Nah, its less secure with SMS as its frequently used a s a backdoor to replace your first factor.

You do have a choice, email their security team and tell them why you’re closing your account.

Kim left. He was dodgy as fuck.

Code is audited. Audits actually published publicly. And their contents is great. Read it. Very transparent.

They’ve expanded to include other services. I really like the video conferencing. There’s almost no VC solution that has client side encryption only. Almost all the other VC companies can downgrade calls to not having e2ee.

They’ve had CVEs before. Everyone does. But they responded to them perfectly: accepted responsibility, quickly patched it, and published very transparent explanation of what the attack was and how they fixed it.

If the source code is open and audited, idk what you’re afraid of. The fact that everything can’t bypass e2ee means its perfect for tech illiterate folks.

Note they’re not encrypted. This is not safe. Dont do it.

Oof, you’re gonna get your account stolen. Never do 2FA over SMS.

You’re gonna want to do this with an app. Phone calls via cell towers are not secure.

Use Wire or Matrix or something.

Seems like theyve become less and less shady over the years, actually

Update the post. There’s a link field in Lemmy.

No, it was chrome crashing. I dont use Windows

Cars are a great example where it really doesn’t matter

Fortunately most applications of semiconductors dont need to be super small and fast. Getting some old tech that’s 10 times the size and 10 times slower than Intel’s bleeding edge is fine for most applications.

Check NovaCustom too

Not just software, but hardware too.

When each country can manufacturer everything they need because the hardware is all licensed openly, tarrifs aren’t so devastating

Again, you have plenty of notice to change the battery. So it’ll only fail if you fail.

Why not? The battery lasts about 2 years, and the LCD numbers slowly (and very noticeably) get darker over a period of weeks before it dies, so you have plenty of notice.

I recommended a watch

Not a smart watch. A regular digital. They work great. Highly reliable. No login necessary.
