RIP Giorgio Armani... a towering figure in fashion who is one of he few designers who we ca safely say revolutionised the fashion industry.

While I have (in retirement) got rid of a lot of my suits (unlike most academics I liked to wear a suit to work - baffled students who they found out I was bit left of centre, I can tell you) - I have retained a classic Armani but of soft tailoring because more than twenty years after buying it, it still is great to wear & has a timeless look.

Ah, but is it from 'Giorgio Armani' or from 'Emporio Armani' 🤔

The clothes snobs will rail about the difference, just like my late brother used to!

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Heh. Good work. I'm knocking on toward 70 now, and I think almost in honour of my brother, my next (and very likely last ever) suit will be one of Armani's!

Ventes d’armes: le boom des exportations françaises, y compris vers Israël

Mediapart s’est procuré le rapport 2025 sur les exportations d’armement de la France. Avec 21,6 milliards de prises de commandes, l’industrie militaire a connu sa deuxième meilleure année. Dans le même temps, les exportations vers #Israël ont atteint un montant inégalé depuis huit ans. Et ce malgré le génocide en cours.

iPhone 17: Apple prepara un aumento de RAM en varios modelos

Según un nuevo informe de TrendForce, Apple está lista para mejorar el rendimiento de la próxima generación de iPhone con un incremento en la memoria RAM.

¿Qué cambiará?

• iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro y 17 Pro Max → subirán a 12 GB de RAM.

• Modelo base → se mantendrá con los 8 GB actuales.

¿Por qué es importante?

El aumento de memoria RAM no solo permite manejar más aplicaciones en segundo plano, sino que también mejora el desempeño en tareas exigentes como:

• Procesamiento de imágenes y video.

• Funciones de inteligencia artificial en iOS.

• Experiencia más fluida en multitarea y juegos.

Una estrategia clara

Apple parece estar reforzando los modelos de gama alta y media con más potencia, mientras que mantiene al modelo base como una opción más accesible. Esta diferenciación podría marcar aún más la distancia entre el iPhone de entrada y las versiones Pro.

“Window with Wrought Iron” — Wroght iron casts a shadow below a window in Casals de Loivos, Portugal.

I photographed this window on the morning we departed Casals de Loivos on the final day of our one-week walk in the hills and vineyards of Portugal’s Douro Valley region.

Report: Campaigners challenging Palestine Action ban face 42 terrorism charges

Defend Our Juries (DOJ) said six key spokespeople were rounded up in dawn raids, hours before a scheduled news conference announcing that a mass action to challenge the ban would be going ahead this Saturday.

A judge rejected the Crown Prosecutor's request to remand them in prison & instead granted them bail.

"Yemen has escalated its operations against Israel and Israeli interests since Tel Aviv launched an attack killing the Sanaa government’s prime minister, along with nearly his entire cabinet"
"Yemen announced the entry of a “new phase” in the war after the officials were killed"
"The Yemeni army has launched three ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv and Haifa in the last 24 hours"

Found a compromised site last night that had a very well faked Cloudflare CAPTCHA. It then copies a Base64-encoded Powershell line that opens a URL. I decoded and tried it in a sandboxed browser, but I guess it's not what it wants as it gives a 406 error.
