Aha! For some reason ublock or switched off. Thanks.

Can only see a bit of it due to ads. Can’t scroll past. There is nowhere to turn them off.

The US uses its operations to test out kit as well. Desert Storm was especially useful in that regard as there was plenty of time in the build up. Could it be the pesky Chinese and Russians are doing the same. Uncle Sam may come away with a bloody nose unless this is resolved quickly.

That web page is a nightmare.

In other news. Military people do military things.

Well yes, so the taxpayer will subsidise everyone’s electric bill to pay the extortionate rate that was agreed upon.

The way China is going it could soon be so cheap that people will only pay a standing charge, and the electricity could actually be free. Like they promised with nuclear in the 60s.

How does this affect those nuclear deals where the price has been guaranteed for many years? We have a couple in UK. One of which isn’t even open yet. The price per KWh was set before it was built.

It would be deliciously ironic if solar ended up subsidising mothballed nuclear plants.

Get an external drive. You can then have as much as you want. And more importantly you’ll have backups.

I keep seeing things like this, then an item on the news that says sales in Spain are up.

It’s not all good news.

I know people don’t like Windows 11, but that’s a bit much.

From the article:

'The aircraft’s most notable capability is its ability to deploy large-scale drone swarms mid-flight, potentially overwhelming enemy defenses by sheer volume and unpredictability. State-released video footage simulated the dramatic visual of a synchronized UAV launch sequence.

Drone swarms offer strategic advantages in surveillance, intelligence gathering, and real-time reconnaissance, particularly in contested regions such as the Taiwan Strait. Analysts warn that such a capability could play a central role in a future conflict scenario between China and Taiwan.

In addition to drone launches, the Jiu Tan can also be equipped with cruise missiles and air-to-air weapons like the PL-12E, further expanding its offensive potential.’

A big difference.

So leave it then. Find an alternative.

Try Pixelfed. No ads there.

We’ll build our own Linux, with blackjack and hookers!

Ha! We have a similar brush. Daisy used to hate it and run away. Her being a long haired cat, we perseveredand now she demands a daily brush. Sometimes more. And the tummy rub is an evening thing. I have to sit on the floor, she’ll pick left or right side of me and then about 20 mins of tummy rubs.

Not a bad life is it?

Got recommended it from the other site a few years ago when I couldn’t justify the expense of Lightroom anymore. Agree when you say you prefer it to Lightroom. But I don’t use it nearly as much as I ought to. It is very good though isn’t it?

One of the programmes where I am happy to drop a few quid towards the developer, even if I don’t have to.

People that do this need to be locked up for a whole life sentence of hard labour. No appeals. No parole. Literally throw away the key.
