The Threat Beneath: Hidden In-Chip Operating Systems

Modern CPUs from Intel and AMD ship with undocumented, embedded operating systems (Intel ME, AMD PSP) that run below your OS—at ring -3—with full system access and zero user control.

The Alternative?

Librem 5 Phone running PureOS, a Debian-based, fully auditable Linux OS, built for security from the silicon up.

✔️ No Intel ME or AMD PSP
✔️ No telemetry, tracking, or backdoors

I had a need to upload a video. A requirement was that the file size be 20MB or less.

The video I took was 50MB. I used this ffmpeg command to keep the same video content and duration, but reduce the file size to about 18MB. Perfect!

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -movflags +faststart -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

📱 Switzerland is thinking about a drastic tightening of its surveillance law! 

With the BÜPF revision, email providers could be forced to supply metadata to authorities in real time. Particularly affected: services that previously advertised strict data protection. End-to-end encryption remains protected, but your IP addresses, recipient data and locations would be monitored.
