People are using Claude Code and Codex to strip the spyware out of their smart TVs, and it's beautiful.
Jake Stevens removed all of Samsung's tracking from his TV with Codex.
His list of what he switched off reads like a confession the TV makers never meant to give: screenshots of your screen a few times a second to fingerprint what you're streaming, reading your HDMI inputs to do the same thing while you have a game console plugged in, and Bixby wake-word detectors.
He says the TV runs three times faster with the junk gone.
The tracking at the center of this is called automatic content recognition, or ACR. Texas AG Ken Paxton sued Sony, Samsung, LG, Hisense and TCL last December, alleging the software can capture screenshots of your TV display every 500 milliseconds and transmit that data back without your knowledge or consent. The companies then sell it to target ads.
A 2024 study found ACR works even when the smart TV is used as a dumb external display, meaning the game console or laptop you plug in over HDMI gets tracked too. You paid for a screen, and they shipped you a sensor that reports what you watch in your own living room.
Now AI is handing regular people the tools to rip it out. Own your stuff, verify it yourself, and don't trust anyone who profits from watching you.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

MiCA just locked millions of EU users out of exchanges.
@CoinCodex explains why self-custody and DEXs are no longer optional, and why THORChain is part of the answer.

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.
A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.
This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.
In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.
But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”
British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?
We genuinely do not understand this.

VERCEL just got breached.
They’re selling internal DB + employee accounts + GitHub/NPM tokens for $2M on BreachForums.
looks like someone got early access to Claude Mythos 💀
We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers. Please see our security bulletin:

Most tokens are not transparent. There's no standard for disclosure. Most protocols have multiple entities (Labs, DAO, Foundation, etc) and it's rarely clear how value flows between them.
We're building a framework for Token Rights at DefiLlama. Our goal is to clearly define what rights tokens confer to investors.
We want to show investors the most important things they need to know about tokens, so they can easily understand what they might be buying.
We have three core categories:
- Governance Rights (who controls what)
- Economic Rights (where does value accrue and how)
- Ownership Rights (who owns what)
Within these categories we track whether governance rights include treasury / revenue rights, buybacks, burns, main value accrual mechanism, fundraising structures, utility, and more.
The hard part: information is scattered, fundraises aren't clear, governance =/= ownership, and often downright conflicting information.
But it can be better. As token design & economics improve, we can provide more transparency through clear definitions and design to help investors understand exactly what a token does & doesn't do.
75+ protocol token rights are currently live. To find them, look for the Token Rights tab on a protocol's page.

👨🦯Hardware devices like @Ledger and @Trezor will allow for 'Blind Signing' and thus showing you conditions that look like random jarbled non-sense on your HWD screens.
🤯You could sign a malicious transaction without even knowing it, until it's too late.😡
➡️These companies, dev researchers, and industry titans should all DO BETTER. You can't expect this to carry on and gain the acceptance of 'the next 100 million' crypto users.
‼️Get real. Sort it out. NO MORE BLIND SIGNING.
On October 16, 2024, Radiant Capital experienced a highly sophisticated security breach that resulted in the loss of $50 million USD. The attackers exploited multiple developers' hardware wallets through a highly advanced malware injection.
The devices were compromised in such a way that the front-end of @safe{Wallet} (f.k.a. Gnosis Safe) displayed legitimate transaction data while poisoned transactions were signed and executed in the background. This breach occurred during a routine multi-signature emissions adjustment process, which takes place periodically to adapt to market conditions and utilization rates.
The DAO contributors strictly adhered to many industry standard operating procedures throughout the process. Each transaction was simulated for accuracy on Tenderly and individually reviewed by multiple developers at each signature stage. Front-end checks in both Tenderly and Safe showed no anomalies during these reviews.
To underscore the significance of this point, the compromise was completely undetectable during the manual review of the Gnosis Safe UI and Tenderly simulation stages of the routine transaction. This has been confirmed by external security teams, including @_SEAL_Org and @HypernativeLabs.
Radiant Capital has been working very closely with Seal911 and Hypernative and has since implemented stronger multisig controls. The U.S. law enforcement and @zeroshadow_io are fully informed of the breach and are actively working to freeze all stolen assets. The DAO is deeply devastated by this attack and will continue to work tirelessly with the respective agencies to identify the exploiter and recover the stolen funds as quickly as possible.

The friendliest reminder: You are reading the Epstein files, and watching prominent people resign for their connections to Epstein because four brave Republicans broke rank.
No regrets. Never looking back.

The issue with crypto today is that most people fully lost trust in altcoins.
They no longer want to hold anything long-term, after seeing countless teams launch tokens only to get exit liquidity.
The legitimate projects out there are drowned out by bad actors.
