WiFi signals can measure heart rate, no wearables needed The Pulse-F system enables highly accurate, clinical-level heart rate monitoring using ultra-low-cost WiFi devices, making it useful for low-resource settings.The system works with the person in various positions and from up to 10 feet away, demonstrating its versatility and robustness.Heart rate is a crucial health indicator, providing insights into physical activity, stress, anxiety, hydration levels, and more.Traditional heart rate measurement requires wearables, but the Pulse-F system offers a non-intrusive alternative using household WiFi devices.The technology was developed by engineers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and demonstrated using low-cost WiFi devices like ESP32 chips ($5-$10) and Raspberry Pi chips ($30).The system combines WiFi devices with a machine learning algorithm to distinguish even the faintest signal variations caused by a human heartbeat.Experiments with 118 participants showed that after only five seconds of signal processing, heart rate could be measured with clinical-level accuracy.The Pulse-F system performed accurately regardless of the equipment's position in the room or the participant's posture, including sitting, standing, lying down, or walking.The researchers created their own dataset to train the machine learning algorithm, as no existing data for these patterns using an ESP32 device was available.Future research aims to extend the technology to detect breathing rate in addition to heart rate, which can be useful for detecting conditions like sleep apnea. https://news.ucsc.edu/2025/09/pulse-fi-wifi-heart-rate/

Keeping track of companies that "care about your data 🥺" - zenfyrdev/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame

Updated guide, check it before buying a phone Over the past few years, a suspicious number of companies have started to "take care of your data", aka block/strictly limit your ability to unlock the bootloader on your own devices. While this may not affect you directly, it sets a bad precedent. You never know what will get the axe next: Shizuku? ADB? Sideloading? I thought it might be a good idea to keep track of bad companies and workarounds.

All users who have Shizuku Detections or will install Shizuku in future! Use Shizuku from GitHub and not from Playstore! ⚠️ People who have already installed: 1. Goto /data/local/tmp 2. Delete shizuku folder and shizuku_starter file. 3. Uninstall Shizuku. 4. Install from GitHub and grant root permission and provide shizuku perms for apps from Shizuku. Install latest from here:

🧊 Hidden Firefox AI process consuming CPU resources? Firefox browser users have encountered serious performance issues after the release of version 141. Initially, suspicion fell on the new "Smart Tab Grouping" feature using AI, but an official Mozilla investigation (Bug 1982278) showed that the abnormally high CPU load is caused by another component, namely the hidden pilot experiment "Semantic Search in History" (places.semanticHistory). The "Smart Tab Grouping" has nothing to do with this. Everything was fine just yesterday. Today I opened Firefox, and as a result, there were sharp spikes in CPU load and power consumption. My fans shouldn't be this loud if I don't have more than 15 tabs open. After unsuccessfully restarting Firefox, I opened the task manager and found that a process called "Inference" fluctuates from 0.05% to 130% CPU usage, which explains the spikes in CPU load and power consumption. Killing the process solves the fluctuation problem but causes Firefox to crash, requiring a restart. What is going on? This problem never existed until today. — users complain on Reddit. 😱 Official Mozilla representatives have acknowledged the issue. The fix will be included in Firefox 143 (ctodea writes Target Milestone: → 143 Branch). 💡For full control and disabling of all local AI services, advanced users should experiment with some settings: In about:config the parameter browser.ml.enable is set to false. *The browser.ml.enable parameter is the main, kind of master key to all under-the-hood machine learning in Firefox. Setting this value to false completely deactivates the local AI engine (Inference process), making it impossible for any dependent features to work, including smart tab groups and the chatbot. In about:config the parameter browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled is set to false. *Disables only the smart tab grouping feature. This step is not a guaranteed solution to the CPU overload problem, as the main source of the error lies in another component. Meanwhile, the AI engine itself (Inference process) remains active for other potential tasks. In about:config the parameter browser.ml.chat.enabled is set to false. *The browser.ml.chat.enabled parameter is a direct system switch that controls the activation and visibility of the AI chat integrated into Firefox.

Many people have heard of onion routing in Tor and have a rough idea of how it works. However, fewer people know about garlic routing. That's why I decided to write a short note about what it is and how it works in I2P🚥 How is a message sent? ✉️ In I2P, your message travels through a tunnel—a chain of randomly picked computers (nodes) on the network. Each node only knows where to send the data next, not the message content, thanks to garlic encryption🧄. Your message is first encrypted for the recipient using end-to-end encryption. Asymmetric encryption🔐 uses a public key to encrypt and a private key to decrypt. How are encryption layers created?🔒 Now the process of wrapping the message in layers begins. Imagine that you have a tunnel with three nodes: A, B, C. The encrypted message (already protected for the recipient) must be passed through these nodes so that each one knows only the next step. To do this, I2P creates encryption layers one for each node. Each layer is additional encryption with instructions for a specific node, such as “forward to node B” or “send to recipient.” It works like this: you encrypt the message with the public key of node C, adding the instruction “forward to node B.” You encrypt this packet again with the public key of node B with the instruction “forward to node A.” Then the entire packet is encrypted with the public key of node A with the instruction “send to recipient.” When you send the packet, it goes to node A. Node A opens its layer with its secret key, sees the instruction “forward to node B” and forwards the data. The data remains encrypted for other nodes. Node B opens its layer, sees the instruction “forward to node C” and forwards it. Node C opens the last layer, sees that it needs to be sent to the recipient, and does so. Each node only knows its own step and does not see the content of the message, its sender, or its recipient. Why is encryption called garlic?🧄 Now, let's talk about “garlic” encryption in detail. In I2P, your message is packed with others into one encrypted packet🗂, called garlic. This packet may include your message, others’ messages, and network data like tunnel commands⚙️ All these messages are encrypted together, and each layer of encryption (for nodes A, B, C) covers the entire large packet, not each message individually. When node A opens its layer, it sees the instruction for the entire packet, such as “forward to node B,” and sends it on. It does not know how many messages are inside, whose they are, or where they are going. Node B does the same, opening its layer and forwarding the packet to node C. Node C, opening the last layer, can send the entire packet or parts of it (depending on the instruction) to the recipients, but it does not know how many messages are inside and to whom they are addressed. This makes it impossible to determine whose message is where, even when observing the network. Each message in the packet is protected by individual encryption for its recipient🔑 so that no one but the intended person can open it. The messages inside the packet are not explicitly separated they are sort of stuck together into one continuous encrypted piece of data. I2P can also add “garbage” data🗑 fake messages that masquerade as real ones but mean nothing. In addition, I2P mixes♻️ your packet with other data on the network and can add random delays during transmission. This makes it difficult to analyze traffic. Tunnels change every 10 minutes, and the nodes in them are selected again, so it is impossible to track the path. How does garlic encryption differ onion encryption?🧅 In onion encryption, each message is encrypted separately and transmitted through its own chain of nodes. Garlic encryption not only wraps your message in layers of encryption, but also combines it with other messages and fake data into a single encrypted packet.

They thought they'd solved the problem. They were wrong. (1/5) A new Digital Digging investigation, conducted with @ osint77760, has uncovered 110,000 ChatGPT conversations preserved in http://Archive.org's Wayback Machine—a digital time capsule OpenAI can't touch. (2/5) @ osint77760 While OpenAI scrambled to de-index conversations from Google, they forgot the internet's most basic rule—nothing truly disappears.

The intuitive introvert sees too much. This archetype is so rare, even Jung found it challenging to define. In his words: “Lives in a world that is only indirectly accessible to others… immersed in symbolic content, archetypes, and images which may seem foreign or irrational to most.” They don’t just observe life, they decode it. While others look at what is, they feel what’s becoming. This depth is a gift, but it often feels like a burden, because when you see beyond the veil, it’s hard to unsee.

EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1mah79o/eu_age_verification_app_to_ban_any_android_system/ The EU is currently developing a whitelabel app to perform privacy-preserving (at least in theory) age verification to be adopted and personalized in the coming months by member states. The app is open source and available here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui. Problem is, the app is planning to include remote attestation feature to verify the integrity of the app:

GitHub

GitHub - eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui

Contribute to eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui development by creating an account on GitHub.

This is supposed to provide assurance to the age verification service that the app being used is authentic and running on a genuine operating system. Genuine in the case of Android means: • The operating system was licensed by Google • The app was downloaded from the Play Store (thus requiring a Google account) • Device security checks have passed While there is value to verify device security, this strongly ties the app to many Google properties and services, because those checks won't pass on an aftermarket Android OS, even those which increase security significantly like GrapheneOS, because the app plans to use Google "Play Integrity", which only allows Google licensed systems instead of the standard Android attestation feature to verify systems. This also means that even though you can compile the app, you won't be able to use it, because it won't come from the Play Store and thus the age verification service will reject it. The issue has been raised here
