To keep up with Elon Musk’s Starlink and the U.S., China plans to launch thousands of broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit. Of the roughly 8,000 functioning satellites in orbit, about 55% belong to SpaceX’s Starlink. China is making strides as more satellite companies like SatNet are getting more funding and making advancements. WSJ explores how broadband satellites work and whether China can secure its spot in a crowded stretch of space.
Ralph Langner provides the most detailed presentation of the Stuxnet S7 code. He goes through the key Function Codes and Data Blocks in detail and shows how it matches to the Natanz facility. You see Ralph's teams comments throughout the Stuxnet code, and the level of detailed analysis. This performance from S4x12 is a great example of the technical detail we look for in a Stage 2: Technical Deep Dive Session. The beauty of Ralph's presentation

Around the world, craftspeople have devoted themselves to the pursuit of perfection — like a historical enthusiast in Tunisia who painstakingly revived an extinct purple dye, or a master iron forger in Japan who runs a 100-year-old workshop. The highest level of mastery is only achieved through an artisan's lifelong dedication to their craft.

In the ‘PFAS Cover-up’ Zembla uncovers what PFAS-producers Dupont and 3M knew of the dangers of their chemicals. Based on hundreds of internal company documents, Zembla reveals that Dupont knew for decades that the PFAS they used were dangerous and were spreading throughout the environment. Confidential memo’s, meeting reports and handwritten notes show that, going back as far as the early 60’s, the industry was well aware of the risks its invention posed for human health and the environment. Shockingly, the primary concern voiced in Dupont's files was the firm's own wellbeing: maintaining profits and avoiding legal liability.

At its height, Skype – a telecommunications app founded by Scandinavian entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, and Estonian engineers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, Jaan Tallinn and Toivo Annus – had 560 million registered users. In 2005, just two years after its launch, the app was acquired by eBay. Later, a majority stake was sold to private equity firm Silver Lake. Microsoft then acquired Skype in 2011 for $8.5 billion. While it was revolutionary in its time, Skype’s journey has been full of ups and downs. Now that Microsoft has rival Teams, the future of Skype is uncertain. CNBC explores the company’s past, present and what’s next for the company.

Amsterdam is trialing its most ambitious traffic project yet. They are cutting off car traffic on a major 4-lane arterial road through the city. This has got the right-wingers panties in a bunch, but the trial is still underway. Will this lead to a utopian city or carmageddon?
Here we go again...6 months later after my investigation into CryptoZoo, the victims have not been refunded, or updated on their refund. For context, after threatening to sue me, Logan Paul promised $1.8 million dollars to the affected victims, saying "In the meantime, I have committed more than $1.8M for those who do not want to wait for CryptoZoo to be completed." However, despite bragging about making millions with Prime, there have been no updates about the status of these updates.
New revelations could signal the start of a purge at the top of Russia's military establishment. The Moscow Times and Financial Times report that General Sergei Surovikin has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner group's failed rebellion. The New York Times also says Surovikin had advance knowledge of Prigozhin’s plans. Josep Borrell, the EU's top diplomat, has warned that, a 'weaker Putin is a greater danger.'
Jordan Belfort responded to my request for comment claiming what I alleged was "Wildly Misleading" so I thought I'd clear the air by reading his full response. It's pretty amusing.

For one long June night and a day, Russia's notorious Wagner mercenary leader and key player in the Ukraine war, Yevgeny Prigozhin, staged an apparent insurrection. He sent an armoured convoy towards Moscow and raised questions about Vladimir Putin's grip on power. The Russian president even accused his former ally of treason, embarking on an armed rebellion and "a stab in the back of our country". But by the end of Saturday, Prigozhin had called the whole thing off and ordered his men back to base.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) urged Wagner fighters not to follow their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin's orders and also implored fighters to take measures to detain him, in a statement shared by the Russian state media TASS on Friday. CNN's Oren Liebermann and Ben Wedeman break down the major development, and CNN's Alex Marquardt discusses with CNN military analyst Ret. Col. Cedric Leighton and Russia expert Dmitri Alperovitch. #CNN #News

Where humans move out, wildlife moves in… What would happen if the world were suddenly without people – if humans vanished off the face of the earth? How would nature react - and how swiftly? On the edge of Europe, a deserted location reveals the surprising answer. An abandoned village can change in a very short time into a sanctuary for plants, birds and animals. Shy and rare species, some thought to be on the brink of extinction are found in robust good health. This is Chernobyl, deserted by people after the worst nuclear disaster in history and now reclaimed by a remarkable collection of wildlife and the descendents of pets that were left in the city when the people went away. This film unmasks the surprising faces of the new inhabitants. In houses where people once lived and laughed, unexpected wildlife is making itself at home. The adventures of a likeable cast of non-human characters give viewers a rare glimpse into an alternative world. Here wild animals face challenges in an environment totally outside their experience, while once-domestic species must rediscover their wild natures within. Where is this place of abandonment and sanctuary? The location is well known and draws a cloud of uncertainty over the future for these animal characters.
They share a common ideology and vision of totalitarian power yet reportedly, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko hate each other. As popular opposition in Belarus and the war in Ukraine force them closer and closer together, we examine the relationship between these two men. We also look back at Lukashenko’s rise to power and hear from some of the protestors brave enough to oppose him. Filmed undercover in Belarus in the weeks up to and just after the invasion of Ukraine. From her exile in Lithuania, a mother recounts how the KGB came looking for her four-year-old son. When a video of Victor attending a protest was seen on social media, the KGB sent photos of him to every kindergarten in Minsk asking the teachers to identify him. They escaped in time but Victor’s father was arrested and imprisoned for attending the same protest. Also in prison is Daria’s husband, Igor, an independent journalist who ran an information channel on the internet. Although he never overtly criticised the regime, he was still given a 15 year prison sentence. It was the grounding of a Ryan Air flight to arrest journalist Roman Protasevich that provoked stiff sanctions from Europe. In retaliation, Lukashenko lured tens of thousand of refugees from the Middle East and sent them towards Poland. When people started dying in the sub zero temperatures, he blamed Europe and went to play ice hockey with Vladimir Putin. It was a public sign of support from the Kremlin for a man they are bound to support. Without Russia’s aid, the 2020 popular protests would probably have ended Lukashenko’s regime. In return, Lukashenko has not only allowed Russia to station troops in Belarus, a recently held referendum also links the consolidation of his power with military support for Russia. It enables Lukashenko to stay in power until 2035 and Belarus to host Russian nuclear weapons. The Kremlin knows that any replacement would likely be pro-Western. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Belarus’ President-in-Exile, has promised to cut the links with the Kremlin and denounced the invasion of Ukraine. From her base in Vilnius, she tells how she is trying to prevent her country becoming a Russian proxy and how opposition figures abroad are constantly targeted. In Belarus, everyone knows they live under constant surveillance, ruled by a government that has lost its legitimacy and governs through force. The fear is that if Ukraine loses the war, its fate could be the same. Director: Pierre Chabert & Emilie Lob
When Chinese tech giant Huawei learned it was set to lose a $200 million contract, a run-of-the-mill equipment deal spiraled into a saga of hidden microphones, drone encounters and covert surveillance, according to investigators for a Danish telecoms firm. Bloomberg reporters crisscrossed Copenhagen for the tale of TDC’s 5G showdown, in which technology, business and national security collide.

It is finished. Traders Domain is closed for business, having run out of money and unable to pay creditors. The owner, Ted Safranko jumps on a call with Coffeezilla to argue that he has no responsibility, and is confronted with paperwork that suggests otherwise. Coffeezilla discovers even more evidence from the Traders Domain backend provider B2Broker including support chats that show fraudulent record keeping, and finally Coffeezilla puts together 9000+ daily account statements in order to map out the scheme. And finally somehow Jordan Belfort the "Wolf of Wall St" makes an appearance.

I was sent a magnetic guitar pick to review, so I reviewed it. Does it work? How? Why? What's the physics of electric guitar strings and pickups? Are magnets useful? Do they affect the strings? The pickups? Thanks to Pete B. for loaning me the guitar.
