There are a few makers of wifi routers that are based in the US, but regarding the actual manufacturing of the consumer-grade wifi routers themselves… I haven't been able to find a single one that's actually made in the US. There are many lists of claimed-to-be-made-in-the-US routers, but they have all been lies upon closer inspection.
Pretty inconvenient to have a bank that only offers phone support from 1am to 6am my time

Her er et virkelig tankevækkende og gennemtænkt indlæg, som måske er bag betalingsmur. Men hvis bare de følgende få sætninger sidder fast hos folk, så har er det gået _rigtig_ godt i dag.

"Vi står over for et politisk valg. Enten køber vi løsninger, der virker her og nu, men som i praksis flytter metodemagt og gennemsigtighed ud af direkte demokratisk kontrol. Eller også insisterer vi på at bygge selv – med risiko for, at det aldrig fungerer tilfredsstillende, fordi staten historisk har haft svært ved at levere kompleks IT i tide. Begge veje er politiske. Begge veje er problematiske. Men kun den ene vej ændrer selve spillereglerne. Dårlig IT kan rettes. En stat, der har vænnet sig til at se sine borgere gennem en algoritme, hun ikke forstår, kan ikke."

Morten Kromann, der er tidligere ansat ved den omdiskuterede techvirksomhed Palantir, er stærkt kritisk over for ideen om, at Danmark via PET vil tillade masseprofilering af uskyldige danskere via kunstig intelligens. Han vil give Dataetisk Råd flere muskler.

To be fair, their coverage and analysis is superior to basically all mainstream media here.
Wife has been getting her news from a streamer that talks a bit a guy sitting at a bar ranting about politics while you eat peanuts, so we call him the peanut guy. She’s now following three of these channels, so i guess that makes it a whole peanut gallery.

I am dying laughing… If if were not sad…

> The entire F-35 doctrine, the single most expensive weapons programme in human history, rests on the assumption that the aircraft is invisible to radar. Someone forgot to tell the Iranians the planes were invisible.

600 files changed. Thousands of lines changed. And the build is still not happy. Making Netty use the java platform module system is not easy. https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/16381
Use real Java modules by chrisvest · Pull Request #16381 · netty/netty

Motivation: Netty 5 will require Java 25 at a minimum, so we can declare real java platform modules instead of relying on the module-info maven plugin. Modification: Remove the module-info plugin ...

JavaOne is over. I accomplished my goal of bringing problems to the project panama people, though I went home with no solutions.

In January when Trump was about to invade Greenland, a considerable force of Danish Dragoons, special forces soldiers of the Jaeger corp, and french Alpine Hunters, were deployed, alongside Danish F-35 fighter jets, and French Navy vessels.

Blood supplies were flown in, and airstrips were rigged with explosives to prevent insertion of American forces.

The Kingdom has prepared for war two times in 100 years: Against Hitler in 1940, and Trump in 2026.

Danmark forberedte sig på muligt angreb fra USA: Fløj poser med blod til Grønland og gjorde klar til at sprænge landingsbaner i luften

Nøglekilder i Danmark og Europa fortæller nu for første gang, hvad der skete i de mest kritiske dage, hvor Donald Trump truede med at tage Grønland "på den hårde måde".

Every pro-renewables politician should be working at 100% capacity to flip the "the greens are making your life more expensive" narrative into "the fossil fuel lobbyists are making your life more expensive" right now, but I fear our side is too nice to effectively exploit a situation like this
