NEW Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 is a proper leap for anyone running a Pi 5 at home. You get a Hailo-10H NPU plus 8GB onboard RAM, so you can run small LLMs and vision language models locally, without punting your prompts or camera feeds to the cloud. That’s the kind of “your data stays with you” upgrade I love. Short: What would you build: a private voice assistant, local CCTV captioning, offline translations, or something weirder? #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi5 #LocalAI #EdgeAI #SelfHosting #Homelab #OpenSource #Privacy #DigitalSovereignty

Greenland gets talked about like it's the magic "rare earths fix", but this video lays out why it's probably not: brutal Arctic logistics, tiny infrastructure, huge costs, and messy processing (often with environmental and radioactive headaches). Worth a watch if you've been seeing the headlines and wondering what's real vs hype: What do you think is the smarter play: new mines, recycling, or building processing capacity outside China? #Greenland #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #Geopolitics #Mining #SupplyChains #EnergyTransition

Is Japan sleepwalking into a debt crisis, or is this another round of “Japan is doomed” headlines? TLDR News Global digs into what changes when ultra-low rates end, bond yields rise, and a country with huge public debt tries to look “normal” again. Watch it here: What do you think is the real pressure point: higher interest costs, a weaker yen, or demographics? #Japan #BOJ #Debt #Bonds #Yen #Economics #Macro #FinancialStability #SelfSovereignty

VPN bans are the quiet end of online privacy. If governments can pressure ISPs, app stores, and payment rails to choke off VPN access, you don't just "lose a tool". You lose the ability to browse, speak, and organise without being profiled by default. I've broken it down in this video: What worries you most here, the bans themselves, or the knock-on effects (age gates, data retention, platform filtering)? #Privacy #VPN #DigitalRights #FreedomOfSpeech #SelfSovereignty #OnlineSafety #Encryption #OpenInternet

Stablecoins are exploding, and it’s not just “crypto nerd stuff” anymore. New CoinGecko vid breaks down the issuers, chains, and rails worth watching: USDT, USDC, PYUSD, plus the networks they ride on. Watch: What do you actually use stablecoins for: trading, saving, paying, remittances? #Stablecoins #Crypto #Web3 #DeFi #Payments #SelfCustody #DigitalFreedom #CoinGecko #USDT #USDC #PYUSD

Coin Bureau just dropped a video: "Crypto And AI Will CONVERGE In 2026!!" The tags alone tell you where the conversation is going: USDC, Circle, AI, "AI crypto". Here's what I'm watching in 2026: Stablecoins and tokenisation are becoming the boring, unstoppable plumbing for payments. AI agents that can do work and also move value raise big trust questions. The fight over compute and data, which makes decentralised infrastructure way more interesting. The sovereignty angle matters. If the future is “genetic", do you own your keys, your Identity, and your data? Or do you rent it all from a dashboard? What's your read? #Crypto #AI #USDC #Circle #Tokenisation #SelfCustody #SelfSovereignty #Privacy #Decentralisation

900k+ installs: two fake Chrome "AI sidebar" extensions were quietly grabbing ChatGPT and DeepSeek chats, plus your open tab URLs, then sending it all to a command and control server (roughly every 30 minutes). Names to watch for: • "Chat GPT for Chrome with GPT-5, Claude Sonnet & DeepSeek AI" • "AI Sidebar with Deepseek, ChatGPT, Claude and more" If you've tried random "ChatGPT for Chrome" style add-ons lately, go check your extensions, remove anything you do not 100% trust, and rotate passwords or tokens if you've pasted anything sensitive.

Feels like the UK is becoming an international laughing stock. Reports say Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek had her UK ETA revoked, meaning she can't travel visa-free and must apply for a visa. At the same time, the Home Office is still using hotels to house people seeking asylum while the backlog grinds on. If the state can block entry on a "public good", the public deserves clear rules and consistent enforcement. What do you think?

Russia is moving towards treating crypto like “everyday Finance”: regulated trading venues, retail access with limits, and a bigger push for cross-border settlement rails. Normalisation can mean clarity or control. Your keys still matter. Watch: What do you think this is really about? #Bitcoin #Crypto #Russia #Regulation #SelfCustody #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy

Coinbase withdrew its support for the CLARITY Act draft right before the Senate markup, which delayed the whole process. This is not "regulation bad, numbers go up". It's about what's actually in the text: tokenised equities, DeFi, privacy, and whether stablecoins get treated like banks' products.
