news.ycombinator.com Bruce Schneier 2025-12-30 16:32:50

How Solid Protocol Restores Digital Agency The current state of digital identity is a mess. Your personal information is scattered across hundreds of locations: social media companies, IoT companies, government agencies, websites you have accounts on, and data brokers you’ve never heard of.

You have hundreds, maybe thousands, of fragmented digital profiles that ofte

The Oura ring was my favorite smart ring because its app was easy to understand and I liked some of the newer features from its latest software update. At the steep price of $299, this smart ring is made up of aerospace-grade titanium – one of the strongest materials on earth -- according to the site. Before I received my Oura ring, I was sent a ring sizer to figure out my ring size. Other smart rings did the same since sizing varies per brand. Once I received the Oura ring, I downloaded the Ou

The ‘Predator’ Dropped In San Diego For a Surprise ‘Badlands’ Experience
