In his latest post, Durov reminded us why Telegram exists — and why he’d rather leave the market than sell out🔒🧨
France almost passed a law requiring messaging apps to install backdoors for police access. The National Assembly shut it down just in time — but yeah, that was a serious red flag.
Durov’s response was clear:
He pointed out that in 12 years, Telegram has never handed over a single byte of private messages. Even under EU laws, they only provide IPs and phone numbers with a valid court order — never messages.
And the key takeaway:
Now the EU is working on a new law to push backdoors again. The fight for privacy is far from over.

Durov’s response was clear:
“Telegram would rather leave the market than undermine encryption with backdoors and violate human rights.”

And the key takeaway:
“Encryption doesn’t protect criminals — it protects ordinary people.”

Can sound save EVs from boredom? BMW thinks so — meet HypersonX ⚡🔊
EVs are fast, sleek, and clean — but for many drivers, they feel… soulless. No roar, no vibe. BMW’s answer? HypersonX, a custom-built sound system with 43 dynamic tones that shift with your driving style.
Instead of mimicking gas engines, HypersonX crafts a cinematic, spatial soundscape — inspired by nature, art, and science. Even the welcome sound is a blend of BMW staff voices in their native languages.
BMW's not alone. Mercedes-AMG (with will.i.am), Hyundai, Dodge, and Nissan are also cooking up synthetic growls, rev-matching effects, and custom sound identities.
Bottom line: the future of driving might be silent — but brands are making damn sure it doesn’t sound boring. 🎵⚙️

Copilot turns itself on in Windows 11 like it owns the place 🧠💻💥
A dev from REKT Wallet found Copilot suddenly active in all VS Code windows, snooping around his private files, API keys, and developer certs like it’s auditioning for Mr. Robot.
Reddit users are raging too — even after disabling it, Copilot came back, probably whispering “you forgot about me” in binary. Looks like Microsoft “accidentally” reset privacy settings and slid it into your startup like a sneaky app update.
Yes, you can remove it with PowerShell… but don’t get comfy — it’ll be back.
Bottom line: Clippy walked so Copilot could stalk. 👀🤖

Every “please” to ChatGPT is costing OpenAI millions — literally 💰🤖💧
Sam Altman says polite users are draining company resources — thanks to the power, water, and emotional support needed to process your charming “thank you”s.
They even tried optimizing responses to cut costs, but turns out — politeness is expensive. Still, Altman says they’ll manage.
What he doesn’t realize is this: You’re not saying “please” for Sam. You’re saying it so the AI overlords remember your kindness.
Bottom line: manners might not be free — but they could save your life in 2049. 🫡🤖

Hennessey unveils Venom F5 Evolution — the priciest “bottle” with 2,031 hp and zero chill 🐍🏁
This beast rockets from 0 to 200 mph in just 10 seconds. Meet Venom F5 Evolution, a hypercar so extra it probably comes with a personal pit crew.
Built with Ilmor Engineering, the 6.6L twin-turbo V8 “Fury” has beefed-up turbos, titanium guts, and runs on eco-friendly Shell E85 (because sustainability, right?). There’s adaptive suspension, F1-level aero tweaks, and even a carbon cupholder for the gentleman racer.
The Evolution package costs $285K — on top of the $2.1M–$3M car itself. Only 99 units worldwide. If you’re driving one, congrats: your garage just became a launchpad.
Bottom line: this isn’t a car — it’s a heat-seeking flex missile. 🔥💰

No, Airbus won’t have a hydrogen plane by 2035 — and maybe never ✈️💸🥴
Back in 2020, Airbus promised a zero-emission future with three hydrogen-powered planes by 2035. Fast forward — €1.7B burned, and the dream just didn’t lift off.
Turns out, clean engines are hard. But hydrogen? Even harder — making it, storing it, moving it safely… and relying on partners who’ve since lost interest in the hydrogen hype.
In Feb, Airbus CEO admitted: no commercially viable plane in sight. By March, he compared it to the Concorde — fast, flashy, but doomed by costs.
Bottom line: the future’s green, but hydrogen air travel? Still grounded. 🌍✈️❌
