  • Matter of perspective. Earlier today, I told a coworker how happy I am to have been born in the late 1980’s, because it spared me from the internet culture of today: shallow, exploitative, otherizing and it encourages short term dopamine kicks. It’s a breeding ground for media illiteracy, bigotry, xenophobia and narrow mindedness in general - which is ironic, since it also makes the culminated knowledge of human kind easily accessible, which has the potential to open your mind if you have internet access and if you use the internet wisely. Anyway, in a way, the internet of today is a crystalization of everything that’s making me have a gloomy outlook on the future and keeping me from wanting to have children.




  • One could cool down system memory before power is cut to a point where it retains in-use plaintext encryption keys. One basically renders the otherwise volatile system memory temporarily nonvolatile. And if one manages to keep the temperatures low for long enough, one could swap those memory modules into one’s own computer/motherboard and print the keys. As you can imagine, the resources needed for this type of attack makes the proposition of it infeasible. Then again, if your adversary is a nation state… Fingers crossed?
