Tipp for people wanting to get into rechargeable AA and AAAs: get IKEA Ladda batteries and their charger. They are cheap and japanese made. Some people argue that they are just relabeled Panasonic eneloops!

Edit: Oh also if you used rechargeable batteries in the past and you remember them sucking that’s probably true. But the battery chemistry is better now and it’s possible that your batteries degraded quickly because of “dumb” chargers. Modern chargers like the gray 4 battery Ikea charger detect how and for how long to charge and thus will not ruin the batteries.

Maybe it’s a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?

No telegram is definitely worse. Their cryptography is amateurish at best and wrong on purpose at worst. Attacks again telegram are regularly found (https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/506353) and telegram chats aren’t even end-to-end encrypted by default.

They are ignoring a lot of cryptographic best practices in their protocol to the degree where anyone taking a basic cryptography class will laught at it. The paper above shows that some cryptographic properties can be proven for telegram but those look more accidental than actually planed.

So yeah I’d say telegram is way more sketchy. The signal protocol is significantly better. Telegram’s still probably better than WhatsApp tho.
