It’s not even being collected at the source (natural gas deposits) because it’s too cheap to be worth the extraction. This is because of the US liquidating its strategic reserve that it had been holding since the age of Zeppelins.

Also for unmanned aircraft, using helium instead of hydrogen is just crazy

First the NYPD is a sophisticated military and intelligence organization more than capable and engaged in the daily labour of neutralizing humans on the daily. Just because they also have lots of fat ticket maids doesn’t mean they’re not full of competent vicious persons that will stop at nothing to imagine crimes and find them.

As for the compromised secret police, their motives are quite similar but on top of that they have an even more corrupt leadership let loose on mongering fear and paranoia for its own prestige and establishing causes for intervention by their benefactor, the Trump administration.

Absolutely nothing, no information at all coming from these organizations can be assumed to be true or straight, even statement is a piece of propaganda craft designed to empower AI driven power and electoral narratives.

“100’000 SIM cards” wow that’s really a big lot of nothing. A SIM card has not transmitter, you literally cannot do anything with it unless it were accepted by the network to begin with.

What they have is basically nothing more than 100’000 invalid login and passwords. And with eSIMs later are they going to claim to have stop a “potentially infinite” cyber attack ?

Their claims shouldn’t be evaluates on their merits but on what manipulation are their lies trying to accomplish. What narrative they are trying to craft.

Why wouldn’t the local police discover local criminal activity but a washington secret police would ?

Trump’s Secret Police probably put the jammers or whatever they were, just to claim to have found them and therefore justify their ability to enter places like this and spy and infiltrate households, organizations, factories and everywhere else that Dear Leader pleases.

iPhone Goes Fully Cellular with Seamless, Always-On 5G

Cupertino, California, September 23, 2025

Today, Apple announced the next chapter in iPhone’s evolution by advancing the industry beyond legacy wireless standards. The new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max eliminate Wi-Fi connectivity entirely, setting a new benchmark for simplicity, performance, and reliability.

“Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything,” said Steve Jobs in 2007. “Today, we’re doing it again — by removing what no longer needs to be there.”

For over two decades, Wi-Fi has served as a foundational technology for mobile devices. But with the emergence of advanced 5G and private cellular networks, the need for separate Wi-Fi radios has diminished, both in practice and in performance.

Apple’s proprietary connectivity architecture now delivers ultra-low latency, higher bandwidth, and seamless handoff across global 5G networks, supported by strategic partnerships with carriers and next-generation eSIM provisioning.

#Why Remove Wi-Fi?

In 99.9% of real-world user testing, cellular connectivity via 5G outperformed local Wi-Fi networks in speed, reliability, and latency. Removing the Wi-Fi module enables:

• A lighter, more power-efficient design
• Increased internal space for battery capacity
• Fewer components susceptible to wear or failure
• A streamlined, always-connected user experience

#Designed for the Future

The new iPhone is designed around the principle that users shouldn’t have to think about how they’re connected. There’s no more toggling between networks, managing passwords, or dealing with unreliable public Wi-Fi. Just uninterrupted access, anywhere.

To support this shift, Apple has introduced AppleConnect, a seamless global data experience available through iCloud+, integrating with over 270 carrier networks worldwide. For enterprises, AppleEdge offers private, secure, carrier-independent cellular environments replacing traditional Wi-Fi infrastructure.

“We’re not interested in being first, we’re interested in being right,” said Tim Cook, Apple CEO. “Removing Wi-Fi is a step toward a simpler, smarter, more connected future. This is where the industry is headed, we’re just getting there first.”

Transition and Compatibility

Apple understands that some workflows and environments may still depend on legacy Wi-Fi protocols. iPad, Mac, and other devices continue to support Wi-Fi, and developers are encouraged to adopt new APIs supporting AppleConnect for peer-to-peer and local communication.

Secret service ? Not the cops ?
Is this some cover for the administration to further infiltrate communication systems ?
We know them and how they operate…
So most likely, what they’ve already done just now is installed selective communication blackout system
so they can shut down cellphone and internet at particular location,
so their crimes are easier to sanitize after they’ve black bagged and disappeared the witnesses.

They will be mass culling from the population whoever can see through their schemes and hasn’t become quiet already.
If you have political conviction the message is clear, stop running your mouth or you will be neutralized from interfering

This will be illegal in the future, and dangerous not to have received the latest cultural infections.
The police will have ways to know if you have not performed your memetic inoculation
By flashing certain patterns at you and observing your reaction with an AI facial expression analyzer
They will know you have not upheld your democractic duty to remain an informed citizen
You will be sanctionned for you dereliction of duty
and subjected to a memetic reification inoculation
which is a kick and painless procedure where you are simply made to look at a screen for a certain period of time while restrained

Can they stop democracy getting in the way of profits for important people who buy their products ?

The FQDN is only a translation lookup between a human readable name and an IP address, it doesn’t say anything about the trustworthiness of the content or its operators, it’s just a name. DNS exists for convenience not establishing trust.

Such trashy boyband slop how does it sell at all, do koreans have no taste at all or are they that brainwashed ?

TL;DR (Summary)
zr0 is expressing a flat rejection of Ubuntu as a valid Linux choice, likely due to Canonical’s decisions around Snap and other user-hostile defaults. They see no redeeming reason for anyone to run Ubuntu — especially with better alternatives like Debian or Arch available.

List all said “decisions and defaults” that would incur such an unfavorable verdict from a seasonned linux user ?

1. Snap Package System (snapd)
   This feels to many like vendor lock-in — a betrayal of open-source ideals.
2. Data Collection (“Ubuntu Phone Home”)
   Though anonymized, the default opt-in raised privacy concerns
3. Amazon Search Integration in Dash (Ubuntu 12.10–16.04)
   Eventually removed, but left a lasting stain on Canonical’s reputation.
4. Abandoning MIR and Unity — Then Reversing
5. Bundling Bloat / Non-Free Software by Default
6. Canonical’s Commercial Focus
7. LTS-Only Philosophy in Flavors and PPAs
8. Centralized Development Model
   Ubuntu is technically “open source,” but most decisions come top-down from Canonical.
   Snap is developed behind closed doors, then pushed downstream.
9. System Resource Usage
   Ubuntu’s GNOME desktop and background services (like Snap, Tracker, etc.) are heavy on RAM and CPU.
10. Difficulty Removing Canonical Components
    Removing Snap, cloud-init, or motd-news (system message ads) often takes manual, repeated effort.
    System update may reintroduce unwanted packages.
    This gives a feeling of a system that’s working against the user.

Do you agree with that assessment user “zr0” ?

My surprise would be something like “what’s snap didn’t I remove whatever that was”.

I got two of those for 100$ USD for the purpose of hosting openwrt in proxmox LXC containers. One thing I noticed is they have no cooling. I put a 10 GBe mellanox card in it plus a very low end radeon gpu and it gets quite hot in there. My recommendation, instead of trying to embiggen it as much as possible, by putting 2 more sticks of ram and the biggest cpu, I would recommend just buying another. The performance boost per dollar isn’t as much as the performance capacity of a second, third or 4th machine.

The 20 foot container stores 10 MWh.
Compared with competitors CATL stores 9 MWh in two stacked 20 foot containers
Tesla sells Megapack 3 which is one container of 5 MWh each
Sungrow sells a 20 foot that contains 6.9MHh

However I imagine that the BYD container is more than 36 ton per container ?

Still sound like a really bad idea for that list to exist at all.
We’ve had more than enough persecuting the bath tub users
we must stop this vicious anti-privacy movement

I’m a visionary director, I have visions like all of the time !

This used to be funded by academic and research outfits, functional releases justified their funding and that was enough. But some unethical entities have started paying big money for exploits as weapons, profiting from their put into profitable use. So the academics now just sell them on gray and black market to the highest bidder.

That’s the spirit, not only they’re not Spaniard subjects under a made up Spanish state, they’re not even REALLY “Spanish speakers”, because that’s another made up Westphallian myth, they’re 3 languages in a trench coat and just by realizing it they would dispel the nasty Spaniard Police State

Well, that should be easy, it’s obviously true !

Imagine if didn’t make things that sucked.
Where I live we had little cheapass gas station cake company called Vachon
Say what you will, they were a staple and “our beloved trash cakes”
Some company came in, bought it, and made them suck hard.
Replaced animal fat and sugar with seed oil and HFCS.
Nearly all the better cakes are getting cancelled and the company is probably on the verge of bankruptcy.
I haven’t bought those shitty cakes in years.

Imagine if we had a trend of doing not-that.

It should display what is inside the fridge, without the energy loss of a window.
It should have a bar code scanner and a complete food inventory system.
It should be the “kitchen’s tablet” able to show recipes, watch cooking instruction videos, have a high quality curated knowledge compedium in a convenient and easy to access way.
It should be able to stream outside cameras and answer door bells.
It should be able to take video calls from Mom on XMPP.
It should have high precision control and diagnostic systems.
It should run ENTIRELY on open source software, not damn blob drivers, the display panel should connect internally with an HDMI cable.
Run Proxmox and all my menagerie of LXC containers, don’t cheap out LG!! I want 64 GB RAM and 2tb ssd and a slot to add an HDD.
It should auto-doomscroll for me while I peel potatoes.
It should be able to run a smart voice assistance running Mistral 8x70B medium, locally and OFFLINE but networked and answer my agentic commands with a posh british accent.

ok, good enough, send it
