An investigation has uncovered a sprawling network of hidden cameras in Chinese hotel rooms that livestream guests -- including couples having sex -- to paying subscribers on Telegram. Over 18 months, the BBC identified six websites and apps on the messaging platform that claimed to operate more than 180 spy cams across Chinese hotels, not just recording but broadcasting live.
One site, monitored for seven months, cycled through 54 different cameras, roughly half active at any given time. Subscribers pay 450 yuan (~$65) per month for access to multiple live feeds, archived clips, and a library of more than 6,000 edited videos dating back to 2017.
The BBC traced one camera to a hotel room in Zhengzhou, where researchers found it hidden inside a wall ventilation unit and hardwired into the building's electricity supply. A commercially available hidden-camera detector failed to flag it. China introduced regulations last April requiring hotel owners to check for hidden cameras, but the BBC found the livestreaming sites still operational.

Kris Marszalek, the co-founder and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com, has paid $70 million for the domain AI.com -- the highest price ever publicly disclosed for a website name, according to the deal's broker Larry Fischer of GetYourDomain.com.
The entire sum was paid in cryptocurrency to an undisclosed seller. Marszalek plans to debut the site during a Super Bowl ad this weekend, offering a personal "AI agent" that lets consumers send messages, use apps and trade stocks. The previous domain sale record was nearly $50 million for Carinsurance.com, per GoDaddy.

I’m not sure Peter Oh has high hopes for this evening’s footballing fare judging from this email.
He says: “Given the various endearing nicknames that have garlanded these two clubs, could tonight be the Nasty/Dirty/Tricky derby?”

Bewindsman Abbas Araghchi zei dat de besprekingen in Oman in een "zeer positieve sfeer" verliepen. "De muur van wantrouwen moet worden overwonnen." Hij had voor het overleg nog gewaarschuwd voor "buitensporige eisen of avonturisme".
Teheran stelt keer op keer dat zijn nucleaire activiteiten vreedzaam zijn. Washington ziet dat anders en wil voorkomen dat het Iraanse regime kernwapens in handen krijgt. Om de druk op te voeren stuurde de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump oorlogsschepen naar de regio.
De Amerikanen onder leiding van gezant Steve Witkoff wilden ook praten over de ballistische raketten van Iran, de Iraanse steun voor gewapende groeperingen en de behandeling van tegenstanders van het regime. Dat heeft Iran volgens Araghchi geweigerd.
