Steak n Shake is the affordable, high-quality choice. Competitors like Five Guys are way overpriced — about double our prices — and their quality is often lower.
People sometimes think higher prices mean higher quality. With Steak n Shake, we choose to keep our prices low because we know our loyalty to you will be returned in kind over the long term.
Steak n Shake is a brand for everyone. We have taken fast food to a new frontier with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef — at affordable prices.
We have used the power of Bitcoin and increased customer traffic to reinvest in quality, playing the long game while competitors using seed oils race to the bottom.
🇺🇸MAHA🇺🇸

The system is rigged.
They lie to you.
Constantly.
Everything is designed to keep you trusting a game you were never meant to win.
This is why we Bitcoin.
Day #18 of advocating for no taxes on bitcoin.
also, If bitcoin is going to function as money, spending it shouldn’t create a capital-gains calculation every time.

Running AI locally, owning the hardware, and configuring everything yourself is a challenge.
But it's a huge win to break free from frontier model paywalls, get your hands dirty, and try to reclaim the control you've surrendered in exchange for convenience.

BREAKING: Claude Code found 12,847 photos of my face on my iPhone that I never took.
It looked like the phone was taking them every time I picked it up. From the club. From home. At a red light while I was driving. Almost every time I took the phone in my hands there was a frame.
They were sitting in a system cache with timestamps and location data. None of them were in Photos.
I plugged the phone into my MacBook and asked Claude Code to scan for any front-camera files that weren’t in my Photos library or Recently Deleted. It flagged Private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.faceid. Over 12,000 files. Mix of infrared frames and regular front-camera images. Each one had a timestamp and GPS coordinates attached.
I started scrolling. Most were from the last 14 months. Then I saw one from four seconds ago. I was still looking at the folder.
Apple says the TrueDepth system turns the capture into a mathematical model inside the Secure Enclave and discards the image. On this phone the raw frames were still in the cache. Several of the processes that wrote to the folder belonged to system diagnostics. A couple of old apps with camera permission also had access to the same directory.
I turned off diagnostics sharing and revoked camera access from every app that didn’t need it.
If you want to check your own phone, plug it in, run a backup, and ask Claude Code to look for front-camera files outside the Photos library. The folder path above is where mine were.
Claude Code found 145,763 photos I permanently deleted from my iPhone.
Three years of deleted photos and videos still sitting in a hidden cache. Any app with file access can read them.
I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. Claude Code was doing the security audit from my last post and flagged a directory I wasn't even looking for.
PhotoData/Thumbnails. Over 146,000 files. Photos, videos, screenshots. Every single one was something I deleted.
Photos from 2023, 2024 and 2025. The ones I deleted the second after taking them. The ones I cleared from Recently Deleted. The ones I deleted three separate times because I wanted to be sure they were gone. All still there.
Passport photo I took for a visa application in 2023.
Screenshots of my bank app with full account numbers visible.
Private photos I sent someone and immediately deleted after a breakup.
Screenshot of my crypto seed phrase I took temporarily in 2022.
Photo of my ID and credit card I took to remember the numbers and deleted 5 seconds later.
Screenshots of my ex's private Instagram stories I saved and permanently deleted in 2023.
Some were full resolution. All organized by date going back to 2021.
When you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and Recently Deleted. It keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search index cache so your phone can find things when you search. Apple never clears it. Not after 30 days. Not after a year. Never.
They told you it was permanently deleted. It wasn't.
I checked which apps on my phone had Files and Folders access. 23 apps. Weather apps. QR code scanners. PDF readers. A flashlight app I downloaded in 2022. Any one of them could have been reading every photo I ever deleted this entire time.
Went from 23 apps to 3 in about two minutes.
Full step by step below. Takes 2 minutes. Save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone with an iPhone.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video is an old, misappropriated clip from 2023, and the accompanying claims are fabricated.

Few people speak up about how dangerous KYC is in the AI age. Leaks are almost an inevitability in this day and age. We need to fundamentally rethink of what information is collected. Governments and regulators need to relax on collection requirements to protect people.

Millions of IoT devices, Docker containers, forgotten Linux machines, unmaintained CLI tools, etc. are all going to be relentlessly hacked via safely signed malware for the next several years or maybe indefinitely.
eMudhra hack might be the most important event of the year.

Not sure what the member count is at this point, somewhere in the 40k range. Every month @crowdhealth is close to these numbers. 100% payment on claims -
Not insurance. Better.

Why I prefer picking words directly for creating your own bitcoin seeds over dice rolls:
- it’s more direct, no derivation step = smaller trusted base
- You can verify a seed you picked word by word without a second tool
- Exact entropy accounting. Each word carries log2(2048) = 11 bits. For 12 words: 11 × 11 + 7 free bits in the last word = 128 bits
Just make sure to shake things up really well between each pick and put picked words back after you’ve written them down.
Use a tool like @SeedSigner to calculate the final word.
Simple

PSA the ledger incident isn't limited to Asia
This is a device purchased in store from an official reseller in Europe (a legitimate device doesn't have any of these cables as can be seen in picture 2)
This even seems to be an old version of the 'spy implant' even though the device was purchased a couple of weeks ago. The newer versions usually hide the implant by the screen so it's easier to miss
What's interesting is that this compromised ledger never transfered funds to an exploiter. Either the device didn't work or they were waiting for a more widespread usage of the comprised devices?
If you own a ledger that didn't directly come from the ledger online store make sure to not just rely on the software genuinely check by ledger but to actually open up the ledger yourself to make sure its original, again there are reported cases in Asia, south America and now Europe as well.
@MagicalTux made some useful videos on how to open the ledger and what to look for.

oh my god this is worse than we thought
here's @Ledger $86M exploits explained
> cryptobilis was a reputable and authorized Ledger/Trezor/OneKey dealer for over 4 years
> they decided to sell the company to a Chinese guy (most likely patsy for DPRK) from northern China in MARCH 2026
> the "Chinese guy" modded the devices within the supply chain itself (physical), namely Nano X devices, to contain an implant module
> ledger validity/genuineness check CANNOT detect this because hw wasn't actually tampered with, just spied on
> quoting @MagicalTux:
" implant just monitors what's shown on the screen, will take note of the seed as it's shown to you, then transmits it to 3rd party"
> former owner chimes in on X (pic below) to say that "they were under a NDA" to not mention anything to anyone for 6 months
> they obviously didn't alert any of their partners that they were authorized to sell devices of... because NDA, duh!! its in the name!
> conveniently, funds start getting siphoned a few weeks before this magical NDA due date, and being laundered across all blockchains

191 years ago today, Mexican troops rode into Gonzales to take back a small cannon. The settlers refused, raised a flag with that cannon and four words on it, and fired. The Texas Revolution started that morning. The four words have not needed updating since.

🚨URGENT: I believe the IRS has significantly increased the number of Letter 6174 notices being sent to crypto traders.
Based on what we’re seeing, I estimate the IRS could now be sending around 10,000 of these letters per month.
Last week alone, 5 clients came to us with 6174 letters. That is unusually high.
Letter 6174 is a voluntary compliance letter. It essentially tells you the IRS believes you may not have correctly reported past cryptocurrency activity and wants you to review your filings.
The IRS itself confirms that 6174/6174-A letters are part of its voluntary compliance program and are not themselves an audit.
In my view, these letters are being used as an intimidation tactic to pressure crypto taxpayers into taking action before they fully understand their position. I’ve warned about these letters before.
DO NOT SIGN OR SEND ANYTHING TO THE IRS WITHOUT GETTING PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FIRST.
Some versions, including Letter 6174-A, specifically state that you do not need to respond, although the IRS may contact you later about enforcement activity.
If you’ve received one, upload your IRS letter to us for review and get advice on how to handle it before you act.
Please spread the word. Crypto traders need to know these letters are going out.
