China vermutet versteckte Kill-Switches in #Nvidia KI-Chips. Der Grafikkarten-Riese wehrt sich vehement: "Keine Backdoors, keine Spyware" - und verweist auf das gescheiterte Clipper-Chip-Projekt der #NSA. https://winfuture.de/news,152749.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
This is beyond crazy....consider that the largest employer of mathematicians in the US and perhaps in the world is...#NSA

Den 
regering har fyret #NSA øverste jurist, April Falcon Doss
Doss blev fyret på samme måde som sin tidligere chef, NSA-direktør Timothy Haugh, efter klager fra højreorienterede konspirationsteoretikere Laura Loomer og The Daily Wire

Tom Lehrer, genialer Mathematiker und scharfsinniger Satiriker, ist im Alter von 97 Jahren verstorben. Bekannt für bissige Songs wie „Vatican Rag“ und „So Long, Mom“, trollte er einst sogar die NSA mit versteckter Ironie in seinen Werken. Sein Werk ist jetzt gemeinfrei!

That Time Tom Lehrer Pranked the NSA
Bluesky thread. Here’s the paper, from 1957. Note... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/07/that-time-tom-lehrer-pranked-the-nsa.html
Rivendichiamo la nostra privacy
In 2021 I bought a small Chinese ultrabook, the One Netbook A1. You can find a review at https://liliputing.com/one-netbook-a1-handheld-computer-preview/ and the official site for the company appears to be http://1netbook.com. I wanted a small computer with USB ports so I could teach a hybrid course with a USB webcam pointed at the blackboard.
It was a bit hard to get the One Netbook A1. Despite positive Western reviews, no American company was selling it anymore, and I couldn't order it directly from the the PRC. I had to use a European intermediary in order to obtain it. I would joke that the ultrabook had the PRC's version of our NSA's spyware built in, so I wasn't supposed to have it. In any case, it worked well for my purposes and I had fun using it over the next couple years.
I was letting the machine collect dust for a while, and I finally decided to give it new life by switching it from Linux Mint to Linux Mint Debian Edition. When I did so, I found that (again) the screen wanted to be in tablet mode and I couldn't get it to switch through the Display menu. I had an applet that solved this before, but it was no longer available. I ended up writing my own script for switching screen layouts quickly. In the process, I found https://www.reddit.com/r/GPDPocket/comments/krgijw/linux_on_the_one_netbook_a1/ which says that the Reddit One Netbook community is «banned». Maybe my joke was more right than I thought?
IDK how much traffic the Tom Lehrer 
@mjb refers to has had here, but it's been circulating on Bsky:

I recommend both the thread and Michael's history of math context:

per quali ragioni la leadership EU è così supina agli #USA?
a) è debole,servile:sta lì solo perché dice sì?
Oppure
b) perché gli USA hanno in mano informazioni ottenute dallo spionaggio #NSA,in particolare dallo #SpecialCollectionService e possono ricattare l'intero pianeta?

The short thread is a must read for mathematicians, cryptographers, and other forms of NSA-adjacent nerd:
