⚡️Microsoft's AI Sensor Platform "Premonition" Begins Surveiling Mosquito & Diseases In Texas
@takebackourtech

In September 2020, Microsoft first announced "Premonition", a robotics and sensor platform that automatically samples disease carrying insects, like mosquitos.

Originally partnering with universities and pharmaceutical giant Bayer for R&D, Microsoft wants to track and control vector-born diseases for 'bio-threat' detection.

The system consists of automated Mosquito traps which can capture mosquitos and perform "meta-genomic" analyses. The first place Microsoft decided to roll out the technology was in Harris County, Texas.

The county received 100 traps beginning in early 2021, and now that the system has been gathering data for 2 years, new Disease Activity Maps were released.

How is the data analyzed?
Premonition’s “metagenomic” analyses will also allow us to computationally scan environmental samples for known and novel threats – giving us new tools to help detect emerging environmental pathogens, such as Zika, much earlier.

Yet another tool in the arsenal of the surveillance state where diseases can be tracked without transparency, and used as justification for measures such as expanded spraying, lockdowns, and promotion of fear.

Could this system be used to test for genetically-modified mosquitos such as those used as malaria "vaccines" in the 2017 Seattle trials? Ironically these trials were funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,with future rounds funded by DoD and the NIH.

Genetically-Engineered mosquitos were also supposedly deployed by Oxitec in this same area, covered in this report by Derrick Broze.

⚡️Metal Can Heal Itself (just like you)
@takebackourtech

Scientists at Texas A&M and Sandia National Laboratories have discovered pure metals like Platinum can heal nanoscale fatigue cracks, reversing the damage through interaction with micro-structural features.

Scientists took nanocrystaline Platinum under a transmission electron microscope (TEM) under tensile high-cycle fatigue to observe the autonomous healing of a crack while the metal was still under fatigue.

This process is called "cold welding" where metals can join when compressed under contact - however this is the first time seeing the behavior on the tip of a fatigue crack under tension.

The crack reduced by 18nm and did not open again, but grew in a new direction after further cycles. This indicates the microstructure of the metal began evolving.

2 out of 3 additional repeated experiments with Pt were successful.

📄 Read the paper

Experiments such as these lead me to believe that matter isn't as dead as it seems.

Oh that didn't take long. Worldcoin went live and then announced they will work with governments on the retina scanning, facial recognition project.

"Worldcoin will expand its operations to sign up more users globally and aims to allow other organisations to use its iris-scanning and identity-verifying technology, a senior manager for the company behind the project told Reuters."

⚡️New Series Being Published Next Week
@takebackourtech

Hey peeps,

I'm very excited to be releasing Pt 1 of a new series next week, this one diving further into mobile privacy/security - and will focus on phone backdoors, how they work, the relationship with contact tracing, and how they're being used by phone manufacturers themselves!

I would appreciate y'all spreading the word everywhere when we post the series, our community is thankfully on-top of these issues but the majority of people are blissfully unaware - we may have to venture on proprietary social media to spread the word.

You are loved!

⚡️Google Street View Car Leads Police in 100mph Chase
@takebackourtech

Chill, you don't have to tell your drivers to go that fast. 😂

At 5 p.m. local time, an officer noticed a car zipping past other drivers near a high school, the police report says, and determined the vehicle was speeding at 100 mph.

The officer caught up with the car, but the driver continued to speed for several miles. Though the driver slowed down, he drove through a red light, the report says.

When the driver turned to avoid a closed bridge, “The Google vehicle lost control and drove through a yard and then into a creek where it became stuck,” the report says.

The police department used a Florida driver's license to identify the driver, who “stated that he worked for Google and was scared to stop,” the news release said.

⚡️More Steam Gamers on Linux than macOS
@takebackourtech

When I gave up Windows almost a decade ago, I remember having to sacrifice gaming. Of course Linux has made leaps and bounds in supporting Steam and its games, I've played a few of my favorites but gave that up too in favor of spending time working my craft.

Now Steam gamers on Linux have surpassed those on macOS. Its a sign of the times!

I had to make this video as a warning to everyone who has opposed the past two years of authoritarian overreach. Now is the time to do everything we can to resist the CBDC and the digital ID, which I believe will usher in a new level of tyranny beyond anything we can currently comprehend. Please share this far and wide as a warning to others.

Awareness is our greatest tool in this fight. Thank you free thinkers!

⚡️Chultrabook, a way to run Windows, Linux, or macOS using alternative firmware
@takebackourtech

You may remember our last post on ChromeOS overtaking the desktop Linux market. I posed the question, how can we take some of the market share back and replace ChromeOS with Linux?

Now the Chultrabook project offers a way to flash your Chromebook's firmware with Coreboot so you can install different operating systems. But be warned, this is not a simple process, some Chromebooks are not supported, and some things may not work properly after the conversion - please read the guide in full. I think its some of the best documentation I've seen.

When installing Linux the following distros are recommended:
Arch Linux
Fedora
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
Pop!_OS
Debian 12 (Bookworm)

🧠 Learn more

Replace your Chromebook's operating system with one that respects you.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. Sues Google and YouTube Over Constant Censorship

Kennedy uses the findings of collusion between the government and Big Tech to allege First Amendment violations.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., prominent Democratic presidential hopeful, is taking YouTube, and its parent company Google, to court. The lawsuit filed Wednesday pertains to alleged violations of Kennedy’s First Amendment rights, as he contends his speeches and interviews were expunged inappropriately from the platform. As the presidential primary elections loom, Kennedy boldly predicts this tactic of stifling discourse will persist.

We obtained a copy of the lawsuit for you here.

Highlighting this act of censorship includes Kennedy’s speech at Saint Anselm College, as well as his interviews with Jordan Peterson and Mike Tyson. The lawsuit argues these content removals are a blatant disregard for his constitutional rights and echo a worrying trend of suppression across the breadth of the campaign.

A focal point in Kennedy’s legal argument centers on an allegation of government overreach. Kennedy’s filing condemns the Biden administration for orchestrating what he views as a thorough attempt to silence dissenting voices. It clearly states, “this complaint concerns the freedom of speech and the extraordinary steps the United States government has taken under the leadership of Joe Biden to silence people it does not want Americans to hear.” Furthermore, it underscores that Kennedy is far from the only casualty in this censorship campaign, but his case stands out given his ongoing challenge to President Biden for the Democratic Party’s presidential ticket.

⚡️Creator of Vim, Bram Mooleanaar Passes Away at 62
@takebackourtech

If you're a developer, you may have heard of the Vim text editor, a legendary piece of software that improved on the original vi editor distributed in Unix systems. Released in 1991 and still maintained today, vim is used by millions and remains one of the most popular text editors of all time.

Vim's creator Bram Moolenaar has passed away at 62. His family announced (Google Groups link) his passing on August 5th:

It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that Bram Moolenaar passed away on 3 August 2023.
Bram was suffering from a medical condition that progressed quickly over the last few weeks.

Bram dedicated a large part of his life to VIM and he was very proud of the VIM community that you are all part of.

Bram was also the creator of the 'charityware' concept, where people could only vote on software features if they donated to a charity of the developer's choice.

Check out Bram's personal website to get a feel for who he was.

Rest in peace Bram, and thank you for your service to all of us!

@takebackourtech

You may know about web crawlers or web robots, which can be used to index web pages for search engines and scrape data for individuals and platforms like ChatGPT.

You can 'disallow' crawlers from scraping your site (provided they'll listen) by updating your site's robots.txt

To add GPTBot to that list, add the following to robots.txt

User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

⚡️Tinder Tests AI To Pick User's Best Photos, AI Slowly Replacing Human Interaction
@takebackourtech

You'd expect to make human connections on a dating app, but AI is being driven forward to 'assist' us:

- Match gave an update on a recent earnings call, Match owns dating apps Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge
- Several new AI features were announced
- They are testing AI scanning and recommendation for your 'best picture', to take the stress out of picking one
- They've already been using AI on the backend
- In a survey, half of single men would consider using a chatbot to talk to matches, and 51% of women said they would use it to have multiple conversations

I bet the next thing we see is an 'dating assistant' AI that'll help you write messages, eventually it'll be AIs talking to other AI's. This directly contributes to the 'feebleness' from using technology and AI, we're literally unable to express ourselves.

Anyways - PSA that dating apps are moving in the direction of automated AI scanning for user's photos.

PayPal Becomes First Major Fintech to Launch Dollar-Backed Stablecoin

Payments giant PayPal said on Monday it has launched a U.S. dollar stablecoin, becoming the first major financial technology firm to embrace digital currencies for payments and transfers.

While stablecoins - crypto tokens whose monetary value is pegged to a stable asset to protect from wild volatility - have been around for years now, they are yet to successfully make headway into the mainstream consumer payments ecosystem.

... Prior attempts by major mainstream companies to launch stablecoins have met fierce opposition from financial regulators and policymakers. Meta's, then Facebook, 2019 plans to launch a stablecoin, Libra, were foiled after regulators raised fears it could upset global financial stability.
