i love this Human agency cannot be taken away Freedom needs room to breathe. People must be able to think, associate, doubt and change their minds without having every hesitation recorded and turned into leverage. We build encryption, private credentials and ways to prove what is necessary without revealing everything. We demand honesty about whom we are dealing with. A machine must not counterfeit a human identity, a relationship of care or spiritual authority. Consent must mean something. It must be understandable, freely given and possible to withdraw. A buried clause cannot authorise unlimited power.

“shrink it and pink it” approach: That’s the default mentality of many executives, which became painfully evident when, a decade ago, Nike Inc. tested its revolutionary carbon-plated Zoom Vaporfly 4% marathon shoes on 18 men with similar-size feet, only to market them to women as a “unisex” product. “The world has almost magically just woken up to the fact that women aren’t just small men,” — Moolah Kicks is part of a growing cadre of high-performance footwear brands developed specifically for female athletes. These startups are analyzing the unique biomechanics of women, investing in factory infrastructure to expand production and educating female athletes about the importance of fit when it comes to both performance and injury reduction.

Wondering if an EMF meter would detect unexpected LTE signals coming from the tampered devices 🤔
The teams and I are focused on the CryptoBilis incident. If you bought a Ledger signer from CryptoBilis and have not set it up, do not set it up. If you have set it up, transfer your assets promptly to a new signer with a new recovery phrase. Ledger will never call you, message you directly or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. If you have a tampered signer, contact Ledger Support before sending it anywhere. We want to examine tampered signers, and Support will give shipping instructions. If you lost funds, file a report with local law enforcement first and coordinate with them before opening or sending the signer. Ledger is reviewing its reseller controls and anti-tamper protections. We invite researchers and other vendors to work with us on tamper-detection and chain-of-custody practices. If you did not buy from CryptoBilis and want to inspect the inside of your signer, the guide is at support.ledger.com/article/4…. Use caution and make sure your recovery phrase is backed up first, because opening a signer can damage it. Some claims and figures circulating online are unverified. Scammers often try to take advantage of incidents like this. Rely only on official Ledger channels for updates.
