Telegram relies on TON for it's blockchain infrastructure, and now they've teamed up with Chainbase and Tencent Cloud (a subsidiary of WeChat's parent company, Tencent), for a super app ecosystem.
It's important to highlight that Chinese apps and companies have faced suspicion in India due to concerns about data security, data theft, and data mining. In fact, Tencent is banned from operating in India. How does this factor into your perspective on the use of Telegram going forward? Share your thoughts!

Bug or Feature: Saved passwords in Edge on Windows 11, iOS, and other devices are now displayed as GUID-like serial key strings.
Reportedly, Microsoft Edge has changed saved passwords into serial key-like strings, rendering it impossible to view or copy the original passwords. For instance, if your saved password for Discord is “&)J?Gr5W5-E=jRX%”, it now appears as “7B8E9D56-3A21-4FEC-8D2C-1C6E3F0B975D” in Microsoft Edge. It is currently unclear whether this change is a bug or an intentional feature.
How to fix the issue? - Resyncing
On your PC, open Microsoft Edge, navigate to Settings > Profiles > Sync, then toggle on ‘Passwords’ and resync.
On iOS or Android, reinstall Microsoft Edge, open the app, click the three dots, go to Settings, select your profile, and open the sync page. Toggle on ‘Passwords’ and resync.
