Iirc, the crazy dictator they've got is already a result of foreign interference in the first place. I might be thinking of Pakistan, or maybe it's both.
Dude of all the things I hate about modern tech, I think the most obnoxious one is that it STILL takes multiple seconds for a simple text-based menu to load. On my one TV, sometimes it takes so long to load that I actually forget that I've opened it and am annoyed when it finally shows up. Gotta save all that precious compute power to load ads and shit, I guess.
Well shit. I've been going off the now long-outdated memory, pun partially intended, of HBM2e being positioned as a potential replacement for DDR. Maybe we'll see more manufacturers doing something like Apple and jamming the RAM into the CPU die directly. That seems to be working out well for them so far, at least performance-wise.
I do still use it, but if you're after privacy I'd only trust it if you use GPG. If I remember correctly, they do run a key exchange server for it, and I never saw a way to use that to read encrypted email, but be aware that you're completely in the clear if you don't. The email mask feature is most of the reason I'm still there though.
I used to work for them, and unless you use GPG on all your emails, they can read everything you send (or could as of 2020). As for the rest of their apps, I'm fairly certain those are encrypted at rest, though I do recall having to comply with an Aussie government investigation notice. They're also downright scornful of people who point out the issues with their privacy practices.
I dunno, it's very innocuous-looking from a traffic inspection standpoint, while also being a resilient way of storing an equally-innocuous-looking CSV. Kinda clever, if you ask me.
You're not invited to my birthday party anymore
