The UN is a diplomatic organization. It is a forum to discuss things and literally has no actual means to enforce anything. Its goal is not enforcement, it’s to discuss.

They did that to Hezbollah in Lebanon, not to Palestinians.
Apparently they actually installed explosives into the pagers themselves.
According to the article:
But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.
I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.
Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.
Because the insurance company already paid them way more than it’s really worth. And if the insurance company has agreed to pay that much, it’s because they’re making more than enough profit off their “service” to everyone that they can afford to pay it.
If your medicine used to cost $60 and now costs $5000 thst’s because the insurance company knows they can get that money from its customers.
According to your own link, the USA is not even in the top 10, which are actually all in Europe.
I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.
Cubic warming is getting out of hand, I swear! I’m sweating my blocks off.
Fast boot is just Windows logging you out of your session, then hibernating.
Sleep is keeping the computer in a low-power state with RAM powered on…
Both of these have been known to result in laptops powering on unbeknownst to their owners to perform updates and remain powered on afterward.
I live nowhere near the tropics. In fact, I live in a place where I could actually see polar bears and arctic foxes if I was so inclined. I like that they exist, but I don’t want them anywhere near me, as specist as that may sound.
How much you wanna bet that if this was an artic fox, or polar bear attack, the words inner city would never have appeared in this article…
Ok, that’s fair, but polar bears and arctic foxes aren’t known to frequent the tropics.
Windows by default doesn’t fully power off when you tell it to shut down. It goes into hibernation and keeps the network open for updates and will sometimes power back on to complete these updates.
If you want to fully power off, hold the left shift key when you click shut down. Or turn the power off elsewhere (eg. psu or power bar.) I’m sure there’s another way to do it, or to prevent the behavior entirely.
IIRC Doom didn’t have a skybox per se, just parallax ceiling textures. You could put that texture on floors or ceilings and it would show the sky texture that would not be attached to the walls.
Alton John, a famous musician who sings about food.
650,000 centuries, yes.
There are exclusions to copyrights accepted under fair use which could easily be tightened if major copyright holders (like Disney) have their way.
We’re not soaking in the cesspool, just gently dipping our toes in it.
It does. If the AI firms lose, the laws around copyrights tighten and major copyright holders profit. If they win, they get to do what they please and nobody can stop them. Either way, the public loses.
I was talking about Appx. I haven’t used Windows in a while, but that was how I got rid of Cortana. The key part was the read-only file named after the folder that couldn’t be replaced.
Windows does have its own command-line package manager. I don’t know if it can remove Recall, but last I checked it could remove Cortana. It would just get reinstalled soon after, but that could be prevented with some file-naming trickery. If you give a file the same name as the folder used to have and make it read-only, it couldn’t remake the folder and wouldn’t reinstall.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you can still do that now.
When it comes to Israel, they have very little incentive in changing their ways when the US refuses to join the rest of the world in condemning them.
Still, there are 124 countries that made it clear that they think what Israel is doing is wrong.
