π¨ THIS IS VERY STRONG
A content creator used Claude Code to discover that his Android phone had stored over 14,219 images captured by the front camera without him knowing.
And the most disturbing part is where they were stored.
They weren't screenshots or photos from the gallery.
They were real images taken by the front camera at different times of the day.
At home, at work, in the car, and even when he simply unlocked the phone.
How did he discover it?
He connected his Android to the computer and used Claude Code to investigate the device's hidden files.
He found images in system directories that normally don't appear in the gallery:
β /data/system/users/0/faceunlock/cache
β Directories associated with Google Play Services.
β Over 10,000 files between normal photographs and infrared images used for facial recognition.
The most concerning thing?
Many of these images included date, time, and GPS location information.
The manufacturer and Google explain that facial recognition uses images to generate depth models and that they are then deleted.
But in this case, he found original files stored on the device.
He also discovered that some system services and apps with special permissions could have access to certain directories.
What did he do next?
β Disabled diagnostic data.
β Removed unnecessary camera permissions.
β Cleared the caches he found.
But there's something you should keep in mind:
Not all images stored in these directories mean that someone has accessed them or that there's a data leak.
Even so, it's worth investigating what your own device is storing.
Want to check it?
You can connect your Android to the computer, make a backup, and ask Claude Code to search for front camera image files outside the gallery.
The AI can help you investigate system files that would normally go completely unnoticed.

A user discovered a hidden chip in an off-brand power bank purchased in Guangzhou using Claude Code.
Every time it charged an iPhone, it secretly copied the entire phone's data. It also read Wi-Fi passwords, connected to the home network, and sent all the information to a remote server.
This power bank was bought at the airport three weeks ago for $19, labeled as 30,000 mAh, hefty with no brand name.
When first plugged in, the screen prompted "Trust This Computer," and the user clicked trust without thinking, granting it one-click access to read all data.
This morning, after setting up Claude Code to monitor file reads, the screen flashed yellow and red warnings just 10 seconds into chargingβdata was being transmitted.
The power bank was identified as a mini-computer with built-in 64 GB storage and network connectivity.
Regular charging cables only use power lines, but this one uses both power and data lines, and it has already copied:
β Device info, 1,206 contacts
β All apps including 2 banking apps
β 3,912 photos including passport
β Wi-Fi network names and keys
β Wife's iPhone photos
Every charge, it uses the key to go online and send new dataβ19 uploads over 3 weeks, last one at 2:14 AM last night.
The user immediately unplugged it, used Claude Code to block that IP, and changed the Wi-Fi password and banking app logins.

what the f*ck. Grok Bot just helped me win in court against my ex-wife
mid-divorce. her lawyer shows up with photos of me at every bar I went to that month. and tells the judge I'M the one stalking HER
custody hearing in 3 weeks
Grok Bot said someone's following me. let's prove it
it set up an open-source tool called Chasing Your Tail. a Raspberry Pi in my glovebox that logs every phone around you and flags the ones that keep showing up
github.com/azmatt/chasing_yoβ¦
8 days later: one phone, 23 times, 9 places
my house. my kids' school. my office. my gym. the bar
then it checked which Wi-Fi networks that phone remembers:
"Hartley_Investigations"
"Jenna_Home_5G"
a private investigator. who's been inside my ex-wife's house
she hired a PI to follow me and told the court I was following her
the logs went to my lawyer as Exhibit C
her stalking claim got thrown out. 50/50 custody
lawyers don't win custody battles anymore. Grok Bot does

π« THE BINANCE HACKER WAS SMARTER THAN EXPECTED
The Binance hacker pulled off one of the smartest moves I've seen in crypto so far.
First, Tether freezes 1.77 billion USDT.
Then Circle freezes 825 million USDC.
At that moment, it looked like he was sitting on dead money.
But that's exactly what he'd planned for.
He didn't even leave part of the USDT in the wallet. He deposited 60 million as collateral on Aave and borrowed 19,762 Ether against it.
Then he was gone.
And now things get really wild.
Tether can freeze USDT in a wallet. No one can freeze borrowed Ether.
Aave has frozen the markets, the 60 million USDT is stuck as collateral. The hacker is sitting on a good 44 million dollars in Ether.
He's never going to repay that loan. Why would he.
If you do the math, he sold his USDT for around 3,030 dollars per Ether. Ether is at 2,240. A lousy rate.
But 44 million is more than zero. And zero is what it would've been if the USDT had stayed in the wallet.
Two companies froze billions in minutes. One guy who understood DeFi still walked away with a chunk.
And that was just the small potatoes. Over half a million Ether and 18,270 #Bitcoinβno one could freeze those anyway.

X AI ALGORITHM UPDATE π¨
X updated their open source algorithm yesterday and the early likes matter even more now. Small accounts should focus on: writing posts people hit like on and read till the end (so write to be read)
tl;dr:
- X's open source code got new scores on Nov 5, the first change in 3 weeks
- likes: 0.66 β 0.708 (highest yet)
- time spent on a post: 0.006 β 0.0075
- tapping into a post: 0.3 β 0.274
- opening a video: 0.02 β 0
- new rule: AI replies may get flagged under big accounts as "llm slop" and may not reach the person's notifications
lesson learned: a tap isn't the win anymore. Someone staying and liking is.
full details:
- The new numbers
Up: likes 0.66 β 0.708, time spent on a post 0.006 β 0.0075, shares 2 β 2.118.
Down: tapping into a post 0.3 β 0.274, staying 10+ seconds after a tap 0.4 β 0.385, opening a video 0.02 β 0.
"Not interested" got a bit harsher, -52.27 β -53.07.
Copy link, replies, quotes, DM shares and follows didn't move.
X didn't explain any of this. It's just what the code says now.
(I check the open source algo daily with Claude and share updates with you)
- Look at where this has gone in a month
In early October a like was worth 0.5. Now it's 0.708.
Time spent was 0.004. Now it's 0.0075, nearly double.
A tap was 0.3 and it's going down.
Every change points the same way. X keeps paying more for people who stay.
- Why that matters if you're small
My read: you can't win on big numbers, but you can win on the people who do see your post. If they stay and like it, that counts for more today than it did last week. And those early likes also decide which new post gets the extra push.
- Video and your profile
X also switched on two new guesses in its ranking: how long someone keeps watching after they open a video, and how long they spend on a profile after tapping it.
I can't tell you what those are worth. The only file that lists them is out of date, so I won't guess a number.
My read: opening a video dropped to 0 the same day because X cares more about people who keep watching. So make the first seconds count, and make your profile worth sticking around on.
- A new rule for replies under big accounts
X runs an AI check on replies under accounts with over 250K followers. Flagged replies can get a label that lasts 14 to 30 days. One of the flags is literally called "llm slop" (AI slop, as I read it).
That part isn't new. This is: X's rules now say a labeled reply or mention doesn't reach the person's notifications unless they follow you.
Grey badge accounts and accounts X rates as highly credible skip this label. Small accounts get no such pass.
I can see the rule, I can't see if every notification goes through it yet. Either way, write your own replies.
- What didn't change
Your new posts still get their extra push in the first 2 hours and first 200 views, and they still don't get cut first.
Here's a recap of what you should be doing:
- likes just hit 0.708, the most they've ever been worth
- each second someone spends on your post is worth 25% more than last week
- staying 10+ seconds after a tap earns 0.385 on top of the tap
- reply in your own words, under big accounts especially
- make your profile worth a visit, X now guesses how long people spend there
- for video, hold attention early, just getting the open now scores 0
- being read to the end also helps X find you new readers
- originals from accounts below 50K can jump to around spot 16
- early viewers liking it is what wins that lift
- your first 2 hours and 200 views are the window, so publish when your people are online
- the biggest single number is still 20, for someone copying your link
- quotes, DM shares and replies earn 5 apiece
- back and forth between mutuals is worth 20, so follow back your regulars
- strangers only get shown your originals...π

Wouldnβt it be nice if there was at least one actually pure website? One without the usual gotchas.
No asking for your email. No parts paywalled. No ads. No data collection.
I think so, which is why I created teddyrookbook.com
Homeschool families get every Kβ12 course free (with teaching guides and practice that checks answers), plus a lesson planner that builds a week-by-week plan. Science labs. Languages. Music. Etiquette. Logic. Meal planning. Trades and farming. And much more!
Iβm building this for my family to use and sharing with others because Iβm open to feedback on how it can be better.
