Item for your Bug-Out Bag...


Stumbled across this the other day........"The PowerPot"...

This clever item gives double-duty as a camp/field cook pot and as a power generator for small items such as cellphones, radios and GPS devices.

The Insecurity of "Push Notifications" and What to Do About It

Image
 By now it has been widely circulated that the US government (and their 5 Eyes friends) has been secretly snooping on phone user's messaging in the form of Push Notifications. Not only are they snooping, but they applied a legal gag order to Apple and Google to prevent them from alerting you the customer of this fact. What's that you say? You are using an end-to-end encrypted messenger such as Signal and therefore are safe from said intrusion? Not so fast...
