"Add LEGO to the list of hobbies that Trump has made more expensive and worse with his tariff policy. Thanks to America’s ever shifting trade policies, LEGO has stopped shipping more than 2,500 pieces from its Pick a Brick program to both the United States and Canada.

Pick a Brick allows LEGO fans to buy individual bricks, which is important in the fandom because certain pieces are hard to come by or are crucial to build specific types of creations. LEGO, a Danish company, says that program will no longer be available to Americans and Canadians.

LEGO fansite New Elementary first noticed the change on August 25, four days ahead of the August 29 elimination of the de minimis trade exemption in the US. Many of the individual LEGO bricks in the Pick a Brick collection cost less than a dollar and it’s likely that the the elimination of the de minimis rule, which waived import fees on goods valued less than $800, made the Pick a Brick program untenable."

Pick a Brick allows LEGO fans to buy individual bricks, which is important in the fandom because certain pieces are hard to come by or are crucial to build specific types of creations. LEGO, a Danish company, says that program will no longer be available to Americans and Canadians.

LEGO fansite New Elementary first noticed the change on August 25, four days ahead of the August 29 elimination of the de minimis trade exemption in the US. Many of the individual LEGO bricks in the Pick a Brick collection cost less than a dollar and it’s likely that the the elimination of the de minimis rule, which waived import fees on goods valued less than $800, made the Pick a Brick program untenable.

Some LEGO sets are simple boxes of a few pieces and others are vast and complicated reconstructions of pop culture icons that use thousands of individual bricks. The LEGO Millenium Falcon, for example, uses more than 7,000 individual pieces. When a specific piece goes missing it can be hard to replace. To service that need, third party services like BrickLink sell allow people to purchase individual pieces. LEGO’s in-house version of this is its Pick a Brick store, a place where enthusiasts could choose from thousands of different individual LEGOs and buy them piece by piece, usually for less than a dollar each.

A small subset of the Pick a Brick pieces, around 1,500 of them the store calls its bestsellers, are shipped to the United States from a warehouse in America. But the “standard” collection of less popular pieces ship from Denmark, where LEGO is headquartered. Those pieces, more than 2,000 of them according to fans, are no longer available in the United States and Canada.

The Pick a Brick website called this a service pause. “In the US & Canada, Standard pieces are temporarily unavailable. You can still shop our Bestseller range which includes thousands of the most popular bricks and pieces ready to order,” said a message at the top of the site.

LEGO fans online said that they saw their shopping carts emptied in the middle of building projects. “This is annoying. I just set up a big PAB order and then saved it. I just looked and 18 of my items are no longer available,” a comment in the r/LEGO community said.

“My whole Standard cart was wiped out... regret not ordering now. Had a lot of dual molded legs in there for Star Wars figure boot upgrades, looks like they're all gone now,” said another.

Others were upset that Canada was lumped in with the United States. “Why are we being caught up in Trump’s tariff shitstorm??? Ship the [Pick a Brick] orders straight to Toronto or something! We’re practically neighbours. We even share a land border with Denmark now,” one commenter said.“This is inherently unfair to Canadian buyers like myself. I primarily stick to lego trains, so now if I want to do any more custom builds, I need to search harder to get what I used to on PAB. Glad I got my last order in before this happened, it sucks that there's no Canadian warehouses,” said another.

The de minimis rule officially ended Friday, and we’re only just beginning to understand the ripple effects that change will have on the American economy. The only thing that is certain is that everything is getting more expensive and complicated. Some national mail carriers have stopped shipping to the U.S. entirely. Companies that move electronics, board games, and other small items on eBay are worried about the future.

The de minimis rule waived fees on more than 4 million packages every year, some of those were small amounts of plastic LEGO pieces. For now, LEGO fans in the US will have to find workarounds.

LEGO did not respond to 404 Media’s request for comment.

The image shows a computer screen with three distinct sections. On the left, there is a YouTube video player window displaying a scene from a movie or TV show, featuring a man in a patterned shirt and backpack. The video is titled "Grown-ish" and is playing on the YouTube platform. To the right of the video player, there is a smaller window showing a landscape with a sunset sky, featuring pink and purple hues, and a silhouette of a person near a body of water. The background of the screen is a solid dark blue color. On the right side of the screen, there is a terminal window with a black background and white text, displaying a command-line interface with various commands and output. The terminal window also shows a color test pattern at the bottom. The overall layout suggests a multitasking environment with video playback and command-line operations occurring simultaneously.

Das Video zeigt eine malerische Küstenlandschaft mit einem klaren, blauen Himmel und türkisfarbenem Meer. Es beginnt mit einer Ansicht von einem erhöhten Standpunkt, der einen Parkplatz mit mehreren Autos, ein weißes Gebäude mit einem roten Dach und Palmen zeigt. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich das Meer bis zum Horizont, und man kann Boote auf der Wasseroberfläche erkennen. Die Szene ist ruhig und friedlich, mit wenigen Menschen, die entlang des Promenadenwegs spazieren gehen.

Die Kamera bewegt sich langsam nach rechts, um den Strand und die umliegenden Strukturen zu zeigen. Der Strand ist mit Sonnenschirmen und Liegestühlen bedeckt, und einige Menschen sind zu sehen, die sich am Strand entspannen. Einige Boote sind auf dem Meer zu sehen, und die Palmen und Bäume am Strand schaffen eine einladende Atmosphäre. Die Kamera fokussiert sich auf die Küstenlinie, wo das Meer sanft an den Strand schwappt.

Im weiteren Verlauf des Videos bleibt die Kamera auf dem Strand und dem Meer gerichtet, wobei die ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre erhalten bleibt. Die Sonnenschirme und Liegestühle sind gut sichtbar, und die Menschen am Strand genießen die Sonne und die Umgebung. Die Palmen und Bäume am Strand sind ein weiteres Element, das die einladende Atmosphäre unterstreicht. Die Kamera bewegt sich nicht, sondern bleibt auf der Szene konzentriert, die eine idyllische Küstenlandschaft mit klarem Himmel und türkisfarbenem Meer zeigt.

"At launch, GPT-4 was widely seen as a step-change over GPT-3, demonstrating the high returns to scaling up training compute. GPT-5 arguably drew a more mixed reception. Yet GPT-5 does far better than GPT-4 in some notable capability benchmarks, similar to how GPT-4 advanced on GPT-3 on the widely-cited benchmarks of its day. While these improvements are not directly comparable, they do suggest that GPT-5 and GPT-4 were both large advances from the previous generation."

Da qualche giorno/settimana ho la netta sensazione di non essere più nell'internet libero e felice di 10 anni fa (o 20 anni fa).

Voi direte "grazie al c..., l'evoluzione di internet è velocissima. È naturale". Si, in 10 anni è cambiato moltissimo, ma ho questa sensazione sgradevole e disgusto.

Non vorrei che sia il classico discorso de "era meglio quando c'era lui", ma forse perché internet sta portando fuori e amplificando il peggio di tutti noi.

in reply to El Salvador

Qualche volta ho lo stesso pensiero, più che altro io sento che c'è una poca "personalizzazione" dell'internet in generale.

Nel senso, mi ricordo quando su Youtube o su altri social avevi la possibilità di personalizzare il proprio profilo/homepage con temi e decorazioni di vario tipo per dare un tocco di personalità alla tua pagina. E molti utenti si mettevano li a decorare e a impostare il proprio spazio virtuale come più gli piaceva, per poi condividerlo nel mondo.

in reply to El Salvador

uso web da prima dell avvento di you tube facebook..ci ritrovavamo sulle chat del Mirc😀 . Voglio dire...si è sempre cercato l interazione con altri, l aspetto social in pratica. La differenza è che oggi è tutto molto ingigantito e smaliziato non solo nelle info nelle possibilità o nei guadagni ma anche nelle reazioni ahimè esagerate. Io forse per età più semplicemente non mi precludo nulla abituato forse dalla nascita al classico on/off analogico lo applico al digitale

L'immagine è una collana di pubblicità Coca-Cola con il slogan "TASTE THE FEELING" (Assaggia il sentimento). Mostra diverse scene con donne che bevono Coca-Cola in vari contesti, come in un'auto, a casa, in spiaggia e in città. Ogni scena è colorata e vivace, con un'atmosfera rilassata e gioiosa. In ciascuna immagine, la Coca-Cola è il prodotto centrale, con bottiglie e bicchieri visibili. La parte inferiore dell'immagine contrappone queste scene idealizzate a una realtà più comune, mostrando donne che bevono Coca-Cola mentre mangiano una pizza, in un ambiente domestico.

My Battlestar Galactica books (now with the Mission Galactica annual that I found yesterday). I had all these as a boy along with models of the viper, a cyclon ship and the figures - all now sadly lost. The souvenir programme was sold at the cinema which was common with movies shown in the 1970s. I used to have an issue of Starlog with an episode guide to Galactica - but that's lost, too.

Una exploit Zero-Click per WhatsApp consentiva la sorveglianza remota. Meta avvisa le vittime


Una falla di sicurezza nelle app di messaggistica di WhatsApp per Apple iOS e macOS è stata sanata, come riferito dalla stessa società, dopo essere stata probabilmente sfruttata su larga scala insieme ad una vulnerabilità Apple recentemente individuata in attacchi mirati di tipo zero-day.

Un caso di autorizzazione insufficiente per i messaggi di sincronizzazione dei dispositivi collegati è alla base della vulnerabilità, identificata come CVE-2025-55177, con un punteggio CVSS di 8,0 che è stata utilizzata da software per sorveglianza (spyware). La scoperta e la successiva rivalutazione del bug sono attribuibili ai ricercatori del team di sicurezza di WhatsApp.

Donncha Ó Cearbhaill, responsabile del Security Lab di Amnesty International, ha affermato che WhatsApp ha avvisato un numero imprecisato di individui che ritiene siano stati presi di mira da una campagna di spyware avanzata negli ultimi 90 giorni che ha utilizzato l’exploit per il codice CVE-2025-55177.

Un messaggio inviato ai possibili bersagli ha suggerito, come misura di sicurezza, di resettare completamente il dispositivo alle impostazioni originali e di assicurarsi di avere sempre aggiornato il sistema operativo e l’applicazione WhatsApp per garantirsi una protezione ottimale. L’identità del responsabile, o dell’azienda produttrice del software spia utilizzato, rimane per ora sconosciuta.

Il difetto riguarda le versioni WhatsApp per iOS precedente alla versione 2.25.21.73, WhatsApp Business per iOS versione 2.25.21.78 e WhatsApp per Mac versione 2.25.21.78. La vulnerabilità in questione è una vulnerabilità di scrittura fuori dai limiti nel framework ImageIO che potrebbe causare il danneggiamento della memoria durante l’elaborazione di un’immagine dannosa.

La settimana scorsa è stato reso noto cheCVE-2025-43300 come strumento in un’agguerrita offensiva informatica mirata a colpire singoli obiettivi con tecniche estremamente raffinate. La società di proprietà di Meta ha affermato che il problema “avrebbe potuto consentire a un utente non correlato di attivare l’elaborazione di contenuti da un URL arbitrario sul dispositivo di un bersaglio”.

È stato inoltre valutato che la falla potrebbe essere stata collegata alla vulnerabilità CVE-2025-43300, che colpisce iOS, iPadOS e macOS, nell’ambito di un attacco sofisticato contro specifici utenti.

Wie viele Bücher kennst du von denen man das Gleiche sagen kann?
Ich beginne heute mit diesem dystopischen Roman: Octavia Butler - Die Parabel vom Sämann.

Wenn Dystopie zur Realität wird, müssen Buchläden umsortieren.

Das Bild zeigt ein Schaufenster einer Buchhandlung mit einem humorvollen Schild, das an der Fensterscheibe befestigt ist. Das Schild lautet: "Bitte beachten: Die Post-Apokalyptische-Fiction-Sektion wurde in die Gegenwartliche Politik umgezogen." Unter dem Schild sind verschiedene Bücher sichtbar, darunter Titel wie "Journey into China," "Murder in Paul's," "Tideland" und "Cornwall." Die Buchhandlung scheint in einem englischsprachigen Land zu liegen, da die Beschriftungen auf Englisch sind. Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil eines Gebäudes mit einem Schild "Cornish Bakery" zu sehen, was auf eine Küstenregion in England hinweist.

Footage shows a soldier of Russia’s 95th Separate Rifle Regiment shooting an unarmed elderly civilian outside his home in Pokrovsk district. The victim was clearly in civilian clothing and unarmed.



Hi ha qui tem les pitjors previsions en cas que prengui el poder el PP amb VOX a Espanya i que ens quedem sense l'estat del benestar i els serveis públics.

Quan fa que aquest estat del benestar i tots aquests serveis públics van pel pedregar i privatitzant-se més i més, fins i tot, amb els governs més progressistes de la història?

Per cert, armats, estarem ben armats i pelats, ben pelats.

Amb foc o amb brases però rostits de totes maneres.

Ara, podeu triar el camí de l'autoengany.

Das Bild zeigt zwei Motorräder auf einer asphaltierten Straße, die sich durch eine steinige Landschaft schlängelt. Auf der linken Seite steht ein BMW Motorrad mit einem silbernen Tank und goldenen Vorknäufen, mit einem Helm auf dem Tank. Auf der rechten Seite steht ein BMW Adventure Motorrad mit einem braunen Tank und einem Vordach, mit einem Helm auf dem Vordach. Zwischen den Motorrädern steht ein Mann in einem hellblauen T-Shirt und einer dunklen Hose, der lächelt und die Hände in den Hüften hat. Die Straße führt in die Ferne, umgeben von steinigen Felswänden und grünen Büschen.
