I remember reading an article about this years ago - a non-transferable FPGA configuration which had some logic that should be unreachable but didn't work without it. Very faschinating but I've not been able to find it since.
I still have a similar 'battery bomb' sitting in my closet because I had the same plans some years ago. Perhaps I should dispose of it before it goes up in smoke
I agree, but so does the article; I quote:
"Still, few things last forever, and the market for written tech journalism is not what it once was – nor will it ever be again."
Absolutely not. This stuff happens in a lot of technology groups, custom ROM groups, even a small (but public) board game group got overrun with it once; multiple accounts posting dozens of CSAM videos/images in a minute after joining - kept going for a few weeks.
Because we saw the same accounts pop up in other groups sometimes weeks later, so we started to keep track of the usernames after banning them. If you check their profile it's easy to see that they are active months later.
Telegram is not E2EE (with the exception of phone-only 1-on-1 Secret Chats, which are also questionable security-wise). Telegram has access to everything ever shared on their services, even if users delete it.
Signal by design can't moderate their service.
Telegram by design has full access, but doesn't act on it.
To be fair, anyone that has used Telegram for a while know that this is just a mock option to fool regulators. You can report all you want; zero action is taken. There are dozens of accounts that joined groups I'm in to spam CSAM. We've reported them, kicked/banned them from the group. Months later you can look them up and they're still there and still active. They even post CSAM in their public (visible for everyone on their profile) stories.
Ah, excuse the double post - it seems we posted in the same minute. I'm not sure what is etiquette here (first time I post) so let me know if I should delete it.

I was wondering the same. In my corner of IT, everyone is ditching SAML as 'outdated' over OIDC2 (usually against Azure). It's pretty painless in comparison and seems to require less maintenance - even tho I know the SAML2 spec well.
