Authoritarian regimes thrive by systematically dividing their opposition and silencing the populace, creating a crisis where citizens feel isolated and powerless. This paper proposes a technological solution: a new, secure feature within Telegram to bridge these divisions and forge a genuine national consensus. Executive Summary "The protocol is remarkably efficient, capable of distilling the views of a population of 100 million participants down to a core group of 100 in as few as six weeks.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Sonos Era 100 is a $249 smart speaker that I recommend to most people, audiophile or not.

In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values.

Not again: Sony’s WH-1000XM6 hinge shows signs of cracking

TL;DR A WH-1000XM6 user has reported a broken hinge, even after using the headphones “carefully.” While there has only been this one report so far, Sony supposedly redesigned the XM6 hinge to prevent this. The problem echoes an issue that plagued the previous XM5 model. The flagship Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are barely two months old, but a new report is raising concerns about their durability. Specifically, it’s an issue from the predecessor device we had hoped was in the past. A Reddit po
