Yeah, it could be. No, it's actually an ad read aimed at all the nine year olds in Australia. Our show today brought to you by ExpressVPN. This is the VPN I use. The VPN I recommend if you have ever gone online. I mean, last time I used it, I think I was at the airport and it said free airport WI fi. And I was right about to join it. And then I thought, wait a minute, hold on there. Fortunately, I realized, oh, I have ExpressVPN on my tablet. I'll just launch that and then use the free wi fi. See, ExpressVPN protects you, protects your privacy, protects your security. If you've ever. Privacy is really a big part of this. If you've ever browsed in incognito mode, I gotta tell you, it's not as incognito as you might think. Google just settled a $5 billion lawsuit. It was accused of secretly tracking users in incognito mode. Google's defense. Well, your honor, incognito does not mean invisible. Actually said that. In fact, incognito definitely doesn't mean invisible. All your online activity is still 100% visible to Google and to third parties. Unless you use ExpressVPN. This is the one I use, the only VPN I use, the only one I trust when I go online. Especially, like I said, when I'm traveling in airports, coffee shops. When I'm out of the country, ExpressVPN is my go to. Actually, when I'm in the country. ExpressVPN is a great way to avoid geographic restrictions because ExpressVPN invests in their infrastructure. And this is very, very important. You've probably seen ads for free VPNs. Ask any security expert, they'll say, no, no, no, no, no. Because if you're not paying for it, they need to pay for their infrastructure somehow. They're selling your information, not ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN goes the extra mile. To make sure they don't know anything about you, they, they, they created their own. And it's been verified by third party audits. Trusted server runs in ram, cannot write to the hard drive. When you start the server, it spins it up in ram. When you close the server, it's gone. And there is no trace of your visit. That would be enough for anybody else, but if ExpressVPN says no, no, we got to do more. They're using a custom Debian distro on all their servers that every morning they reboot, wipes, the drive, starts fresh, so those hard drives are empty. Even if it could write to the hard drive, there's no trace of your visit. This is why everyone needs ExpressVPN. Without ExpressVPN, third parties can still see every website you visit. Even if you're using incognito mode, your Internet service provider could see it. Your mobile network provider, the admins of your Wi Fi network. ExpressVPN routes 100% of your traffic through secure encrypted servers, so third parties cannot see your browsing. But ExpressVPN is the best VPN because not only does it hide your IP address, you know you're going to merge on the public Internet with an IP address they provide you. So that makes it really hard to track you because it's different every time. But they also invest again in rotating their IP addresses so they're not obviously from a vpn. And they even have a new technology, which is really cool. Zero knowledge. This is an optional technology. Zero knowledge that even they don't know what IP address you're using. I don't. These guys could really rest in their laurels, but they don't. They keep making it better. And the beauty of ExpressVPN? It's easy to use. You fire up the app, you click one button, you're protected. It works on every device. You've got your phone, your laptop, your tablet. They even offer it for routers. In fact, they sell routers if you want, but you can also add it to your router or some models, and then your whole house is protected. You could stay private on the go. You can stay private when you're home. ExpressVPN's rated number one by Top Tech reviewers like CNET and the Verge. Secure your online data today.

I love ExpressVPN. Here's a story. I don't want to mock them, but. So the International association of Cryptologic Research, iacr, that's one of the world's premier security organizations, had its annual leadership election, which they had to cancel because they lost the encryption key needed to unlock the results, they said Friday. The votes were submitted and tallied using Helios, which is an open source voting system that uses peer reviewed crypto to cast and count votes in a verifiable, confidential and privacy pervert preserving way. I mean, this is good. This is better than locking you up in a conclave and burning the votes afterwards. This is even better than putting on the blockchain, unfortunately. And the. This is the way they do it. There's. This is. They're cryptographers. They have three members of an election committee that act as independent trustees. To prevent two of them from colluding, each trustee holds a mere one third of the cryptographic key material. This is kind of like how ICANN rotates the keys, right? They've got like multiple holders. Unfortunately. This is from the IACR's press release. One of the three trustees has irretrievably lost their private key. An honest but unfortunate human mistake. Therefore cannot compute their decryption share. As a result, Helios is unable to complete the decryption process. It is technically impossible for us to obtain or verify the final outcome of this election.
