About 5UNZOO

Welcome to 5UNZOO—a platform dedicated to questioning the default narratives of the tech world. In an era where "innovation" is often a buzzword for marketing, 5UNZOO explores the hidden environmental, economic, and human realities behind today’s most significant technological breakthroughs. 

We don't just cover the news; we investigate the layers beneath. From the massive physical infrastructure of undersea cables to the invisible carbon footprint of Artificial Intelligence, our goal is to provide a deeper understanding of the digital world we live in.

The Story Behind the Name 5UNZOO is a digital "decoding" of my own name, Sanju. It is built on the logic of the digital age:

🔹 5 represents the S
🔹 5un sounds like San
🔹 zoo represents ju

This name reflects our mission: translating complex, "coded" technology back into human-centric stories and realities. 

Our Focus

At 5UNZOO, we focus on three core pillars:

Hidden Realities: Uncovering the secrets tech companies don't usually talk about.
Sustainable Tech: Analyzing the environmental impact of our "weightless" digital life.
Open Systems: Promoting transparency through the lens of Linux, AI ethics, and digital privacy.

Meet the Founder

I am Sanju Sapkota, a tech analyst and writer based in Nepal. I founded 5UNZOO because I believe that tech journalism needs more skepticism and more heart. With a passion for uncovering the "unseen architecture" of our world, I spend my time researching how technology truly functions once you strip away the marketing hype.

What it mean by Hidden realities and Dark secrets?

"At 5UNZOO, all 'Hidden Realities' are based on public patents, corporate privacy policies, and technical documentation. We prioritize factual analysis over speculation."

Technology and its hidden truths: You won't believe it!

  By Sanju Sapkota | sanjusapkota.com.np Most tech blogs recycle the same topics—AI, smartphones, and crypto. But behind the scenes, there are shocking, lesser-known truths about how technology really works. Here are 10 realities you won’t find in mainstream tech coverage. 1. Your “Deleted” Cloud Files Are Never Really Gone When you delete files from Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud , they don’t vanish immediately. Tech companies keep them for years —sometimes indefinitely—for “legal compliance.” Proof : Google’s privacy policy admits they retain data “as required by law.” Why No One Talks About It : Cloud providers don’t want users to know their data is still stored. 2. Smart TVs Spy on You—Even When Voice Control Is Off   Many Samsung, LG, and Sony TVs analyze conversations for targeted ads, even if you disable voice assistants. Proof : Samsung’s privacy policy states: “Voice data may be collected to improve services.” What You Can Do : Disable automatic content recogn...

TOP 10 Another lists of hidden tech realities By Sanju Sapkota | sanjusapkota.com.np The tech industry thrives on secrecy, and many companies deliberately obscure how their products really work. While most blogs recycle the same privacy warnings, here are 10 truly hidden tech realities —backed by patents, insider leaks, and under reported studies—that no major outlet has exposed yet. "What about Part 1?" You say - Here it is - Top 10 Hidden Tech Realities Part 1 - 2025    1. Your ISP Knows When You Sleep (Thanks to Your Router) Most people assume turning off "remote management" stops their ISP from spying. Wrong. Hidden Reality : Modern routers send usage pattern reports —even in "privacy mode"—detecting: When you wake up (based on first device connection). When you go to bed (last device disconnection). Household occupancy (via device density tracking). Proof : Comcast’s patent ( US11477683B2 ) describes "household activity detection" via Wi-F...

Beyond the Recall: Why 2026 is the Year of the Linux Desktop Migration

 2026 is the year of Linux Desktop                     By Sanju Sapkota | sanjusapkota.com.np For decades, switching to Linux was a choice made by hobbyists, sysadmins, and "digital hermits." It was a badge of technical honor—a way to prove you could handle a command line. But as we move into 2026, the narrative has shifted. Switching to Linux is no longer a niche hobby; it is becoming a necessity for digital survival. The "Zero-UI" and Ambient AI revolution we've discussed previously has a darker sibling: OS-level surveillance. With the introduction of features like Windows "Recall" and deep AI telemetry in macOS, your operating system is no longer just a platform for your apps—it is a witness to your life. Hidden Realities: 1. USA controls the global social media 2. You don't own hardware, Forever phone is a myth  Here is why 2026 is the definitive tipping point for the Linux migration. 1. The Death of the "Private" Offline ...

The Silent Leak of Your Private Conversations - Tech Realities 2025

AI Doesn't Forget: The Silent Leak of Your Private Conversations By Sanju Sapkota | sanjusapkota.com.np  We click “New Chat” with a sense of disposable privacy, as if opening a temporary notepad. We ask our awkward questions, voice work frustrations, and feed it our most sensitive raw materials—unpublished business ideas, confidential code snippets, private drafts. The interface feels like a conversation, a transient exchange. But this is the central illusion of modern AI: Chatbots don't converse; they memorize. And as we’re learning, that memory is far from private. It’s a silent, persistent leak we’ve all agreed to, often without knowing. The 2023 Wake-Up Call: When Memories Became Public The comforting myth of the ephemeral chat was shattered in March 2023. A significant bug in ChatGPT’s systems briefly allowed some users to see the titles of conversations from other active users' histories. For a few hours, the private labels of strangers' chats appeared...

Is Your Tech Designed to Break? The Truth About Planned Obsolescence

Your New Phone is Already Old: The Obsolescence Machine and You   By Sanju Sapkota | sanjusapkota.com.np We buy the latest phone, feeling modern and connected. The screen is brighter, the camera sharper. It feels like progress. But that feeling has a dark twin: the nagging suspicion that your old device, which worked perfectly fine, is now suddenly too slow, too outdated, too uncool . That's not an accident. It's the work of what I call the Obsolescence Machine . This isn't just about gadgets gathering dust in a drawer. The Obsolescence Machine is a system—part design, part marketing, part pure pace—that creates waste on three fronts: the devices in our hands, the skills in our brains, and the attention in our daily lives. Let's break down how it works, because the first step to fighting a machine is understanding its gears. The Repair That Isn't: When You Don't Really Own Your Stuff Remember when you could pop open the back of a phone and swap the ba...
