Trump fumes at Japanese refusal to send Godzilla to Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump has hit out at Japan after it refused his demands to send the fictitious monster Godzilla to the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump hosted Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the White House where he criticised the US ally for their refusal to send the giant monster to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

“We didn’t refuse anything, Gojira is a fictional character,” said Prime Minister Takaichi, not quite believing she actually had to say those words out loud.

Sorry but it is Friday! ;-)

They call the unwarranted war on Iran "Epic Fury"

I call it "Epstein Fury"

The orphan-crushing machine is just a tool. You can also use it to mulch puppies and purée kittens.

Why are you angry? You can use it for harmless tasks like making mashed potatoes. You eat mashed potatoes don't you? Yes, admittedly it leaks machine oil into the potatoes, but they're working on that. It leaks so much less oil than it did when you tried it three months ago. In a year from now it's going to be a Michelin-starred chef.

Well, that’s typical, gatekeeping by telling people they should have to learn to cook. You don’t think people who can’t cook deserve good food?

So what if the machine is powered by slave labor? That's innovation. You're just scared you're going to be one of them. Besides, it's inevitable. Nobody is going to crush orphans by hand any more. You're going to get left behind.

Oh, well there you go with your ridiculous purity culture again.

A friendly reminder to never trust manufacturers privacy protections.

I was recently attempting to get an external camera functioning, so I started polling various video devices sequentially to find out where it appeared and stumbled across a previously unknown (to me at least) camera device, right next to the regular camera that is not affected by the intentional privacy flap or "camera active" LED that comes built in.

I had always assumed this was just a light sensor and didn't think any further about it.

The bandwidth seems to drop dramatically when the other camera is activated by opening the privacy flap, causing more flickering.
This was visible IRL and wasn't just an artifact of recording it on my phone.
I deliberately put my finger over each camera one at a time to confirm the sources being projected.

A friend of mine suggested this may be related to Windows Hello functionality at a guess but still seems weird to not be affected by the privacy flap when its clearly capable of recording video.

dmidecode tells me this is a LENOVO Yoga 9 2-in-1 14ILL10 (P/N:83LC)

Command I used for anyone to replicate the finding. (I was on bog standard Kali, but I'm sure you'll figure out your device names if they change under other distros):
