This is insane: TeleGuard, a 'secure' chat app downloaded more than a million times, uploads users' private keys, meaning the company can decrypt messages. And anyone can get anyone else's private key by just sending the user ID to the API. Possibly worst ever www.404media.co/a-secure-cha...

A Secure Chat App’s Encryption Is So Bad It Is ‘Meaningless’
TeleGuard is an app downloaded more a million times that markets itself as a secure way to chat. The app uploads users’ private keys to the company’s server, and makes decryption of messages trivial.
![There Is Only 5GW of Global Data Center Capacity Actually Under Construction, And Every Huge, Multi-Gigawatt Project You Read Is Going To Take 2 to 4 Years Or More To Complete — And Wood Mackenzie Believes Capex Growth Will Slow In 2026
Before we go any further, I want to be clear how difficult it is to answer the question “how long does a data center take to build?”. You can’t really say “[time] per megawatt” because things become ever-more complicated with every 100MW or so. As I’ll get into, it’s taken Stargate Abilene two years to hit 200MW of power.
Not IT load. Power.
Anyway, the question of “how much data center capacity came online?” is pretty annoying too.
Sightline’s research — which estimated that “almost 6GW of [global data center power] capacity came online last year” — found that while 16GW of capacity was slated to come online in 2026 across 140 projects, only 5GW is currently under construction, and somehow doesn’t say that “maybe everybody is lying about timelines.”
Sightline believes that half of 2026’s supposed data center pipeline may never materialize, with 11GW of capacity in the “announced” stage with “...no visible construction progress despite typical build timelines of 12-18 months.” “Under construction” also can mean anything from “a single steel beam” to “nearly finished.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreiaiaavhgyokqvfjqgadqaucvc5atypvh3ya3x4bvkrryll4nbu3ly)
