End-to-end encryption (E2EE) ensures that messages cannot be read by third parties while in transit between devices. Currently, RCS messages on iPhone are not end-to-end encrypted, meaning they lack this protection. With E2EE for RCS, cross-platform messaging between iPhone and Android users will have the same security level as iMessage, which has supported end-to-end encryption since 2011. This is significant because it closes a security gap in Android-to-iPhone communication that has existed since Apple added RCS support to iOS 18.1.

The iOS 26.4 beta is testing RCS encryption only between iPhones (specifically between iPhone users who have disabled iMessage) because Apple is still in the early testing phase. This preliminary implementation does not yet include the capability to encrypt messages between iPhones and Android devices. Apple has confirmed that end-to-end encryption for RCS will not be included in the iOS 26.4 release itself, and the full cross-platform feature is expected in a future iOS 26 software update. Additionally, carriers must add support for encryption before the feature can roll out broadly to all users.

Jikipedia is an AI-generated encyclopedia resembling Wikipedia, launched by the creators of JMail (Riley Walz and Luke Igel), that uses data from Jeffrey Epstein's emails to create detailed profiles of his associates, including their connections, visits to properties, and business dealings.

ANC stands for Active Noise Cancellation, a technology in the Sony WH-CH720N that uses Dual Noise Sensor technology and the Integrated Processor V1 to detect and reduce ambient noise, such as low-frequency rumbles and midrange chatter, across a wide frequency range for immersive listening.

The phrase 'in secret' refers to a limited-time, possibly unadvertised or hidden discount on Amazon where the ANC-powered Sony WH-CH720N headphones have dropped below $100, urging savvy shoppers to act quickly before prices rise.

A license from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) means a crypto trading platform has met strict regulatory requirements and is authorized to operate legally in Hong Kong. Licensed platforms must comply with investor protection measures covering onboarding, governance, disclosure, and due diligence procedures. They can provide services to both retail and professional investors and may engage in additional activities such as custody services, distribution of investment products with virtual asset exposure, and tokenized securities trading, subject to SFC approval. As of late 2025, 11 crypto trading platforms had received SFC approval, including OSL, HashKey, and Bullish.

Hong Kong's licensing approvals signal the city's commitment to becoming a global digital finance hub with a comprehensive regulatory framework comparable to traditional financial markets. Each new licensed platform represents Hong Kong's shift from policy design to active enforcement and oversight. The approvals also enable platforms to access global liquidity, expand product offerings including margin financing and perpetual contracts for professional investors, and provide stablecoin services once stablecoin issuer licenses roll out. This regulatory clarity and infrastructure development attracts institutional participation and increases market depth, positioning Hong Kong as a competitive jurisdiction for digital asset trading amid competition from other financial centers.

Rope camera straps are primarily made from strong, braided materials like nylon, paracord, or high-quality climbing/sailing rope, often combined with vegetable-tanned leather ends and stainless steel rings for attachments, providing durability, waterproofing, and comfort.

While rope camera straps are lightweight, stylish, and durable, the catch may involve selecting the right thickness (e.g., 8-12mm) for your camera's weight to balance strength and comfort, ensuring compatibility with your setup, and adjusting for optimal fit without compromising security.
