"Der Ausnahmezustand aber liegt außerhalb der Norm: Ob er besteht, ist eine politische, keine juristische Entscheidung. »Notlagen an Grenzen«, »Überforderung des Systems«, eine vermeintliche Bedrohung durch »Kriminalität und Terror« – all das sind keine juristischen Kategorien.

Un team di ricercatori coreani ha sviluppato una finestra che riduce la temperatura interna fino a 27 gradi senza compromettere la trasparenza. Il sistema RECM combina 3 modalità operative: può restare trasparente, colorarsi di blu per bloccare calore e luce, o diventare riflettente eliminando anche l'abbagliamento urbano. Durante i test su modelli abitativi, la temperatura è passata da 58,7°C con vetri normali a 31,5°C con la nuova tecnologia. Ne sentiremo parlare.

Samsung's profits plummet, Nvidia-related woes continue
Samsung Electronics is a leading supplier of system memory. However, it would like to supply High Bandwidth Memory to Nvidia for the biggest profits, but it is losing the competitive battle in this area. Due to the lack of demand for memory for AI chips, the South Korean company’s profits fell by 39 percent this quarter.

Today in Bergen, Norway, I actually encountered a fascist on a hike along sandviken.
He confronted me, saying my appearance didn’t fit the Nordic race and called me a disgrace for not dressing “appropriately,” and claimed that the Nordic Resistance Movement is winning big.
I told him “Em, actually, I’m an anarchist, and I don't give a shit about your opinion”, and then told him to “fuck off”, and he did.
Fascism doesn’t belong here, or anywhere, ever!
