It's just sellout and misreporting. Michael Larabel of Phoronix is still in_the_x86/Microsoft_"club" (not seeing what's really happening here). Watch what he has just published: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Phoronix Microsoft News Archives: EEE at the back end, EEE in the kernel (proprietary stuff inside Mesa), EEE at the front end, mass surveillance⦈ WSL is an attack on GNU/Linux and this interference in Mesa seeks to promote Windows [1, 2], not Linux. It's not for security but undermining_users' security. How absurd is this: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3 on Azure confidential virtual machines: What’s new?⦈ They call it "confidential"; outsourcing to Microsoft is a security breach, nothing confidential about it. Also this on the same day: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Enabling hardware-backed confidential computing with a CentOS SIG⦈ This "hardware-backed confidential computing" just means some proprietary hardware design that claims to offer security while in practice it's an obscure monopoly and likely deliberate_back_doors. This scam has been promoted by companies that put NSA back doors in their products and moles_of_theirs that shilled UEFI_"secure"_boot, where security means outsourced to Microsoft for remote control with the NSA on its side. This_past_summer_Richard_Stallman publicly_bemoaned_that_the_term_"security"_had_been_so_badly_distorted. █ ⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⢠⣀⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Via_Wikiquote: We have to think big…‘We have to imagine big, and that’s part of the problem. We’re letting other people imagine and lead us down what paths they want to take us. Sometimes they’re very limited in the way their ideas are constructed. We need to imagine much more broadly. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Alex Ewerlöf ☛ Washing_machine_vs_laundry_room⠀⇛ So, the natural next step for us was to work closely with them to figure out how we can migrate our EC2 workload to their Kubernetes cluster. As far as we knew, this would be a win-win situation: we would outsource the remaining infrastructure work to the central team which specialized in this, and it would free our hands to work more on our application platform. As we got closer to the finish line, the leadership became more against this move. At the time, I didn’t understand the “why?”. It looked like a political move to me, and to some extent it was but not in a malicious way. You see, by running on top of the central infrastructure, we would give away part of our freedom, flexibility, and autonomy: [...] o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Mac ☛ App_downloads_by_teenagers_should_be_Apple’s responsibility,_says_Meta⠀⇛ It’s no coincidence that Meta is putting forward this proposal shortly after losing a bid for the dismissal of hundreds of lawsuits from parents claiming social media companies deliberately seek to get teenagers addicted to their apps. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Insecticides_Help_Drive_Down_Men's_Sperm_Counts, New_Review_Suggests⠀⇛ Several studies indicated that men’s average sperm count has steadily declined over the past half- century, particularly since the early 2000s. Scientists speculated on many possible reasons for this worldwide drop, such as increased rates of obesity or greater exposure to environmental toxins, insecticides included. Researchers at George Washington University, George Mason University, and Italy’s Ramazzini Institute wanted to get a better sense of the data linking insecticides to sperm quantity so they decided to perform a systematic review of relevant studies around the world. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ How_AI_can_detect_diabetes_with_a_10- second_voice_sample⠀⇛ According to a study published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health medical journal, a short voice recording is all it takes to determine with surprising accuracy whether an individual has type 2 diabetes. # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Italy_set_to_be_first-ever_country_to ban_synthetic_food⠀⇛ Italy will ban synthetic foods, said Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida at an event organized by the European Conservatives and Reformists with the participation of EU Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski. A bill banning the production, import and sale of food produced in laboratories will be discussed in the lower house of parliament. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Men's_Drinking_Habits_Can_Have_a_Shocking Effect_on_Their_Unborn_Child⠀⇛ Research clearly shows that sperm carry a vast amount of epigenetic information – meaning heritable shifts in the way genes are expressed that don't result from changes in the DNA sequence – that strongly influences fetal development and child health. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 50_Years_of_Data_Links_Insecticides_to Global_Decline_of_Human_Sperm_Counts⠀⇛ Insecticide exposure has been linked to lower sperm concentration in adult men worldwide, according to a new review of 25 studies spanning almost 50 years. The research team from Italy and the US says it's the most thorough systematic review of the topic so far. These are strong findings as their method takes into account each study's limitations, so their published paper recommends reducing exposure to the two types of insecticides studied to preserve male fertility and increase the changes of parenthood. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Silicon Angle ☛ YouTube_to_require_disclosures_for realistic-looking_computer-generated_videos⠀⇛ Google LLC will require users to disclose if videos they upload to YouTube contain realistic-looking content generated with artificial intelligence tools. YouTube product management executives Jennifer Flannery O’Connor and Emily Moxley detailed the new policy in a blog post published today. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ AI,_arms_control_and_the_new_cold_war⠀⇛ So far, the 2020s have been marked by tectonic shifts in both technology and international security. Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February 2022, which brought the post–Cold War era to a sudden and violent end, is an obvious inflection point. The recent escalation in the Middle East, which may yet lead to a regional war, is another. So too the Covid-19 pandemic, from which the United States and China emerged bruised, distrustful and nearer to conflict than ever before—not least over the vexing issue of Taiwan, a stronghold in the world of advanced technology. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Sam_Altman_Seems_to_Imply_That_OpenAI_Is Building_God⠀⇛ In an interview with The Atlantic earlier this year, Altman painted a rosy and speculative vision an AGI-powered future, describing a utopian society in which "robots that use solar power for energy can go and mine and refine all of the minerals that they need," all without the requiring the input of "human labor." And Altman isn't the only one invoking the language of a God-like AI in the sky. # ⚓ [Old] Vanity Fair ☛ Artificial_Intelligence_May_Be Humanity’s_Most_Ingenious_Invention—And_Its_Last?⠀⇛ We invented wheels and compasses and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and the eames lounge chair and penicillin and e = mc2 and beer that comes in six-packs and guns and dildos and the Pet Rock and Doggles (eyewear for dogs) and square watermelons. “One small step for man.” We came up with the Lindy Hop and musical toothbrushes and mustard gas and glow-in-the-dark Band-Aids and paper and the microscope and bacon—fucking bacon!—and Christmas. “Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa.” We went to the bottom of the ocean and into orbit. We sucked energy from the sun and fertilizer from the air. “Let there be light.” We created the most amazing pink flamingo lawn ornaments that come in packs of two and only cost $9.99! o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ What_does_the_Veterans_Affairs Department_do_when_disaster_strikes_one_of_its_record- storage_facilities?⠀⇛ In July 1973, a fire damaged or destroyed up to 18 million Army and Air Force official military personnel files at the National Archives and Records Administration’s National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. These records are important for veterans who are looking to make claims with the Veterans Affairs Department. So how did the government do in helping those whose records were lost or damaged in the fire? The VA's Office of Inspector General looked to answer that question with a recent audit. To learn what it found, Federal Drive Executive Producer Eric White talked with Brent Arronte, Deputy Assistant Inspector General for Audits and Evaluations with the VA OIG. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ How_.tk_Became_a_TLD_for_Scammers⠀⇛ Sad story of Tokelau, and how its top-level domain “became the unwitting host to the dark underworld by providing a never-ending supply of domain names that could be weaponized against internet users. Scammers began using .tk websites to do everything from harvesting passwords and payment information to displaying pop-up ads or delivering malware.” # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Record ☛ Court_rules_automakers_can_record_and intercept_owner_text_messages⠀⇛ A Seattle-based appellate judge ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors. # ⚓ Video ☛ Judge_rules_it's_legal_for_automakers_to download_&_store_your_text_messages_under_WA_privacy law_-_Invidious⠀⇛ # ⚓ La Quadature Du Net ☛ French_National_Police_Use_of AI-Powered_Video-Surveillance_Subject_to_Criminal_Law⠀⇛ Investigative media Disclose has just revealed that for years, knowing that it was totally illegal, the French National Police force has been using the automated video- surveillance solutions from the Israeli company Briefcam. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Turns_Out_Barbra_Streisand_Is_Aware_Of_The Streisand_Effect,_But_Seems_Confused_About_It⠀⇛ As some folks know, back in 2005, right here on Techdirt, I coined “The Streisand Effect,” as a throwaway line at the end of a post. It was in reference to a story from two years earlier regarding Streisand suing photographer Ken Adelman after he had started the California Coastal Records Project, in which he aimed to photograph the west coast of the United States from a helicopter every few years to document erosion. One of the many, many photos on the site included Streisand’s coastal mansion. Streisand claimed that this was an invasion of privacy and violated California’s anti-paparazzi law. Except that before she filed the lawsuit the photo had a grand total of six views, two of which were by Streisand’s lawyers. Immediately after the lawsuit was filed, nearly half a million people viewed the image. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Unsealed_FTC_Complaint_Shows_Data_Broker Kochava_Hoovered_Up_Oceans_Of_Sensitive_Data_On Millions_Of_Americans⠀⇛ There’s generally been two reasons the U.S. government hasn’t tried to regulate data brokers or pass even a baseline privacy law, and it’s not, contrary to conventional wisdom, because it’s too hard. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ HRW:_Uganda_surveillance_system_threatens rights_to_privacy,_expression_and_association⠀⇛ Human Rights Watch (HRW) raised concerns on Tuesday about a new vehicle tracking system in Uganda. # ⚓ Tutao GmbH ☛ Tuta_Is_An_Independent_Company_And_Not Linked_To_Five_Eyes_Secret_Services⠀⇛ This statement by Cameron Ortis is completely false. The Tutao GbmH is not owned by any secret service, nor is it a "storefront" as claimed by Cameron Ortis. These allegations against Tuta, (formerly Tutanota), are false. Tutanota has never and Tuta will never operate a “storefront” for any intelligence or law enforcement agency. This would completely contradict our mission as a privacy protection organization. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Alleged_RCMP_leaker_says_he_was_tipped_off_that police_targets_had_'moles'_in_law_enforcement⠀⇛ Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence official on trial in Ottawa, says he was tipped off by a counterpart at a "foreign agency" that the people he's accused of leaking secrets to had "moles" inside Canadian police services. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Encrypted_Email_Service_Tuta_Denies_It's_a 'Honeypot'_for_Five_Eyes_Intelligence⠀⇛ “So if targets begin to use that service, the agency that’s collecting that information would be able to feed it back, that information, into the Five Eyes system, and then back into the RCMP,” Ortis claimed, in reference to the Five Eyes intelligence- sharing alliance, of which Canada is a prominent member. Ortis has claimed that some unnamed Five Eyes foreign agent introduced him to the honeypot operation and that he didn’t notify his superiors at the RCMP about it. Follow-up questions about the whole thing have mostly led him to say things like “I don’t recall,” and “that’s something I can’t talk about.” o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Increased_Layoffs_During_the_Festive_Season:_Continued Workforce_Reductions_at_Google,_Amazon,_and_More⠀⇛ Even though the end of 2023 is approaching, layoffs in the tech industry show no indications of abating. The year began with upheaval, as thousands of tech professionals were laid off. So far, in 2023, more than 244,342 IT workers have been laid off, a 50% increase from 2022. There have been significant layoffs at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, as well as at tiny financial firms and apps. While layoffs have decreased in recent months, the dread of job loss persists. The gloom of layoffs persists even over the holiday season, with significant businesses such as Google, Amazon, Snap, and others announcing new employment cuts. The most recent layoffs reportedly hit product management, customer services, and engineering staff, sending global shockwaves. # ⚓ 505_Games_parent_Digital_Bros_lays_off_30%_of_staff_due_to fears_that_players_don't_want_new_IP⠀⇛ 505 Games parent company Digital Bros have announced - you guessed it - a round of mass layoffs. Following in the wake of Microsoft, Epic, CD Projekt, Sony and, well, take your pick, the company aim to cut roughly 30% of their workforce to shore up profits. The specific reasoning here is that Digital Bros think that people aren't interested in playing original new games; they'd rather get to grips with fictions and franchises they know and love already. As such, the company plan to "limit" their big budget projects in future, though no specific cancellations have been announced. # ⚓ Washington's_Worsening_Debt_Problem⠀⇛ Are you in debt? Seems like many are and, unfortunately, many in Washington are and it's getting worse. Consumer debt is over $17 trillion.

Cohan a legal victory, affirming the dismissal of a defamation lawsuit filed against him by the subject of an article published by ProPublica. Ruling with unusual dispatch — the court issued its opinion on Oct. 31, only three weeks after oral arguments — it declared that the article “flatly contradicts the existence of actual malice,” the standard of proof that a public figure must meet to win a libel suit. “The plaintiff failed to show,” the opinion stated, “that his claims had a substantial basis in law.” o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Dutch-Kurdish_director_Dosky:_'I_was_subjected_to strip_search_in_Turkey'⠀⇛ Director Reber Dosky, who was detained in Mardin on November 8, and kept in Urfa Repatriation Center, drew attention to torture here stating that a Moroccan migrant was kept in the refrigerator overnight. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ LA_Residential_Hotels_Got_Inside_Safe Contracts_Despite_Housing_Law_Violations⠀⇛ As part of Mayor Karen Bass’ signature homelessness initiative called Inside Safe, the city of Los Angeles awarded Las Palmas Hotel a contract potentially worth about $2 million to temporarily shelter people living on the streets.

Discovery’s shameless greed. [...] Every time you do it, you’re betting it’s going to make its budget back and perhaps even become profitable. But choosing not to wager at all is no way to run a business, as anyone watching the recent debacle around Coyote vs. Acme can attest. The film, a feature-length take on the classic Road Runner cartoons that integrates live-action elements around the ingenious presence what Wile E. Coyote has finally decided to sue the Acme Corporation for repeatedly selling him defective goods, was unceremoniously dumped from release despite having direct connection to one of the most prominent players on the Warner Bros.

This was obviously a problem that needed solving, so [Matt Venn] decided to change that by making a necklace out of ASICs just in time for Supercon. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Record_Space_Explosion_Was_So_Powerful_It Shook_Earth's_Atmosphere⠀⇛ From 2.4 billion light years away. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ HHS_CIO_Mathias_moving_to engineering_role_at_NASA⠀⇛ Jennifer Wendell, the Department of Health and Human Services deputy CIO, will serve as acting CIO until a permanent one is hired. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Cephalopods_Have_Passed_a_Cognitive_Test Designed_For_Human_Children⠀⇛ We, for one, welcome our new cuttlefish overlords. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Detecting_Neutrinos,_The_Slippery_Ghost Particles_That_Don’t_Want_To_Interact⠀⇛ Neutrinos are some of the most elusive particles that are well-known to science. These tiny subatomic particles have no electric charge and an extremely small mass, making them incredibly difficult to detect. They are produced in abundance by the sun, as well as by nuclear reactions on Earth and in supernovae. Despite their elusive nature, scientists are keen to detect neutrinos as they can provide valuable information about the processes that produce them. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Testing_Various_Properties_Of_LEGO-Compatible Axles⠀⇛ If you ever wondered what’d happen if you were to use LEGO Technic parts, but they were made out of something other than plastic, the [Brick Experiment Channel] has got you covered. Pitting original Lego axles against their (all except steel commercially available) equivalents made out of carbon fiber, aluminium and steel, some of the (destructive) results are very much expected, while some are more surprising. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Balloon_To_Fly_During_Solar_Eclipse⠀⇛ The Great American Eclipse was a solar eclipse that passed nearly the entire continental United States back in 2017. While it might sound like a once-in- a-lifetime event to experience a total solar eclipse, the stars have aligned to bring another total solar eclipse to North America although with a slightly different path stretching from the west coast of Mexico and ending off the cost of Newfoundland in Canada. Plenty of people near the path of totality have already made plans to view the event, but [Stephen] and a team of volunteers have done a little bit of extra preparation and plan to launch a high-altitude balloon during the event. # ⚓ Reason ☛ Alleged_"Psychic_Intuition"_Still_Isn't_Enough_to Make_a_Federal_Claim_"Plausible"_Enough_to_Withstand Dismissal⠀⇛ An allegedly psychic "Internet sleuth" alleged a professor was involved in the University of Idaho student murders; the professor sued; then the "sleuth" countersued. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ School_network_change_plans_cause_concern_among local_governments⠀⇛ Sorting out the school network is an issue where there is traditionally a lot of friction between the Ministry of Education and Science (IZM) and the local governments – school founders. Now, to avoid causing anxiety, the Ministry has decided not to make the proposed school network change map public as usual, but it is known 60 schools could be affected by changes as early as next year, Latvian Television reported on November 14. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Quaint_History_Of_The_Commodore_ChessMate⠀⇛ The Commodore International of the 1970s was a company which dabbled in a bit of everything when it came to consumer electronics, with the Commodore ChessMate being a prime example of the circuitous way that some of its products came to be. Released in 1978, its existence was essentially the result of MOS Technology releasing the KIM-1 single board computer in 1976. In May of that year, [Peter Jennings] traveled all the way from Toronto, Canada to Cleveland, USA to attend the Midwest Regional Computer Conference and acquire a KIM-1 system and box of manuals for a mere $245. On this KIM-1 he’d proceed to develop his own chess game, called MicroChess, implemented fully in 6502 ASM to fit within the 1 kB of RAM. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ u-blox_MAYA-W3_industrial_wireless_module supports_WiFi_6/6E_and_Bluetooth_5.4_with_LE_Audio⠀⇛ We’ve also covered two IoT-focused WiFi 6 and Bluetooth LE chips in the last week with Synaptics SYN43711 chipset and Gigadevice GD32VW553 RISC- V WiSoC, but there’s more and u-blox has recently introduced the MAYA-W3 WiFi 6/6E and Bluetooth 5.4 module with LE Audio support and designed for industrial applications. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ AMD_Ryzen_Embedded_7000_Zen_4_SoC_integrates Radeon_RNDA_2_graphics,_up_to_28_lanes_of_PCIe_5 connectivity⠀⇛ AMD Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series is a new “Zen 4” processor with integrated Radeon RNDA 2 graphics designed for high-performance embedded systems targetting industrial automation, machine vision, robotics, and edge servers. The last two Ryzen Embedded families from AMD, namely the Ryzen Embedded V3000 and Ryzen Embedded 5000, mostly targeted headless networking and storage applications since the processors lacked any 3D GPU. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 1_in_50_Million_Chance:_US_Woman_With_Rare Double_Uterus_Is_Pregnant_in_Both⠀⇛ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ What_Long-Term_Care_Looks_Like_Around_the World⠀⇛ Most countries spend more than the United States on care, but middle class and affluent people still bear a substantial portion of the costs. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 50_Years_of_Data_Links_Insecticides_to Global_Decline_of_Human_Sperm_Counts⠀⇛ “A concern for public health." # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia_short_of_flu_vaccines⠀⇛ There is a significant shortage of influenza vaccines at general practitioners' offices at the moment and they are currently only available to select groups of patients, Aija Graudiņa, board member of the Association of General Practitioners, told Latvian Radio November 14. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Lancet_Countdown_Report_Shows_Climate Change’s_Impact_on_Health⠀⇛ The 8th update to a major international report shows more people are getting sick and dying from extreme heat, drought and other climate problems. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Chinese_health_experts_call_for vigilance_as_peak_flu_season_starts⠀⇛ Health authorities stress improved monitoring as respiratory illnesses spread. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Egg-Laying_Mammal_Recorded_Only_Once_by Scientists_Rediscovered_After_60_Years⠀⇛ Just look at it! o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Is_Argentina_the_First_Hey_Hi_(AI) Election?⠀⇛ The two men jostling to be the country’s next president are using artificial intelligence to create images and videos to promote themselves and attack each other. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ There’s_No_AI_In_A_Markov_Chain,_But_They’re_Fun To_Play_With⠀⇛ Amid all the hype about AI it sometimes seems as though the world has lost sight of the fact that software such as ChatGPT contains no intelligence. Instead it’s an extremely sophisticated system for extracting plausible machine generated content from the corpus on which it is trained. There’s a long history behind machine generated text, and perhaps the simplest example comes in the form of a Markov chain. [Ben Hoyt] takes us through how these work, and provides some Python code so that you can roll your own. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Warner_Music_Partners_With_Edith_Piaf Estate_To_Create_‘Animated_Biopic’_Using_‘Groundbreaking_Hey Hi_(AI)_Technology’⠀⇛ Months after making clear its interest in releasing high-profile artificial intelligence projects, Warner Music Group (WMG) has announced an AI- powered partnership with the estate of French artist Edith Piaf. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ UK_Government_Leaders_Say_Investigatory Powers_Act_Isn’t_Awful_Enough,_Announce_Plans_To_Make It_Worse⠀⇛ The UK government thinks the 2016 Investigatory Powers Act is due for an overhaul.

A statement from NEC said the in-store payments would be effected through the use of NEC's face recognition and liveness verification technologies, and Mastercard's payment enablement and optimised user experience. [Liveness verification refers to the ability to detect that a live face is being presented, and not that of a corpse.] # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Nikki_Haley_proposes_requiring_social control_media_users_to_verify_their_identities_over ‘national_security’_concerns⠀⇛ Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday proposed forcing social control media users to verify their identities before posting, citing “national security” concerns. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ North_Korea_tested_new_solid-fuel engine_for_intermediate_ballistic_missile:_KCNA⠀⇛ November 15, 2023 5:50 AM North Korea has said it has tested its new solid- fuel engines for an intermediate ballistic missile on Nov. 11 and Nov. 14 respectively, according to state media KCNA on Wednesday.

Its location at the confluence of the White and Blue Nile made the tower an eye-catching landmark and a symbol of the country. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ U.S._Says_Hamas_Operates_Out_of_Gaza Hospitals,_Endorsing_Israel’s_Allegations⠀⇛ John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said that intelligence from U.S.-generated sources supported Israel’s claim that Hamas has tunnels under Al-Shifa and other hospitals. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ Unmasking_South_Africa’s_global_crime underworld⠀⇛ Global organised crime is an evolving, profit- driven activity that embraces new markets and new technologies. It refers to a broad spectrum of ever-changing activities that has moved from traditional hierarchies towards more flexible, network-based forms of organisation. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ Violence_on_the_up_in_Darfur⠀⇛ Escalating violence in Sudan’s Darfur has sparked fears of a repeat of atrocities committed two decades ago in the region the United Nations (UN) refugee agency UNHCR said. More than 800 people were reportedly killed by armed groups in Ardamata, West Darfur, an area so far less affected by the conflict that started in April. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Airplane_makes_emergency_landing_after_Egyptian passenger_writes_'I_love_Allah'_on_a_form⠀⇛ A Vueling flight between Paris and Cairo made an emergency landing in Rome on Tuesday, November 7 where an Egyptian passenger was removed from the flight. Videos obtained by FRANCE 24 show the man being arrested by Italian police. The flight crew accused him of writing “I love Allah” on a form. It was a “blood-chilling scene,” says our Observer, who witnessed the whole incident and believes the man was racially profiled. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ “Baby_Steps”_Aren’t_Enough:_UN_Warns_COP28_Must Be_a_Clear_Climate_Turning_Point⠀⇛ # ⚓ France24 ☛ Extreme_heat_will_likely_kill_nearly_five_times more_people_by_2050⠀⇛ Nearly five times more people will likely die due to extreme heat in the coming decades, an international team of experts warned on Wednesday, adding that without action on climate change the "health of humanity is at grave risk". # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Indian_rescuers_hope_bigger_drill will_reach_40_trapped_in_tunnel⠀⇛ It has been three days since the tunnel collapsed, but the labourers are still safe and healthy. # ⚓ H2 View ☛ MoU_signed_between_Asahi,_Gentari,_JGC_to develop_Malaysian_hydrogen_project⠀⇛ A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Asahi Kasei, Gentari Hydrogen and JGC Holdings Corporation to develop a Malaysian green hydrogen project. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ China_fuels_increase_in_global oil_demand,_International_Energy_Agency_report_finds⠀⇛ World oil demand will rise slightly more than expected this year as China’s appetite for the fossil fuel hit a record and the Israel- Hamas war did not hit supply flows, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ An_Off-Grid_EV_Camper_Van⠀⇛ Despite our predilection for creature comforts like electricity, it can be nice to get away from it all from time-to-time.

This is simply because Zimbabweans are earning too little. Meaning whatever price hike, however justified, however tiny, will take a service beyond the reach of many. # ⚓ Zimbabwe ☛ Zimbabwe_unemployment_rate_at_19.7%_but_only 19.9%_of_rural_women_employed⠀⇛ For as long as I can remember, Zimbabwe has always had a high unemployment rate.
