I'm so glad I left the politics groupchat I was in with friends cause I kept getting ganged up on, cause a former member has returned and is apparently a LOT more of a Zionist and centrist fetishist than he used to be. One of the members is telling me horror stories of positions he's taken like that Mamdani is antisemitic. I knew as soon as he disagreed with me there's a genocide going on in a one on one chat I never wanted to hear his opinions on the subject again.

Some AWS services are down in the Middle East. Recovery is unclear as it requires 'careful assessment to ensure the safety of our operators,' according to Amazon.

Amazon Data Centers on Fire After Iranian Missile Strikes on Dubai
Amazon’s cloud services are down in some of the Middle East after “objects” hit data centers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) causing “sparks and fire.” Around 60 services tied to AWS are down in the region, affecting web traffic in the UAE and Bahrain. The outage comes following Iranian attacks on the UAE as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.Customers in Bahrain and the UAE began to report outages tied to the mec1-az2 and mec1-az3 clusters in AWS’ ME-CENTRAL-1 Region on March 1 after Iranian ballistic missiles and drones struck targets in and around Dubai. Amazon did not confirm that AWS was down in the Middle East due to an Iranian attack and instead referred 404 Media to its online dashboard.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
“At around 4:30 AM PST, one of our Availability Zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire,” AWS said on its health dashboard. “The fire department shut off power to the facility and generators as they worked to put out the fire. We are still awaiting permission to turn the power back on, and once we have, we will ensure we restore power and connectivity safely. It will take several hours to restore connectivity to the impacted AZ.”As of this morning at 9:22 AM ET, the damage had spread. “We are expecting recovery to take at least a day, as it requires repair of facilities, cooling and power systems, coordination with local authorities, and careful assessment to ensure the safety of our operators,” AWS said. “We recommend customers enact their disaster recovery plans and recover from remote backups into alternate AWS Regions, ideally in Europe.”
Amazon later shared more information about the attack and confirmed it was the result of drones. “Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, both affected regions have experienced physical impacts to infrastructure as a result of drone strikes. In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure,” it said. “These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage. We are working closely with local authorities and prioritizing the safety of our personnel throughout our recovery efforts.”
On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury and struck targets inside of Iran, killing several political and military leaders including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s Supreme Leader. In retaliation, Iran launched drone and missile attacks against Israel and multiple US-allied targets in the Middle East.
According to the Emirati defense forces, Iran attacked the country with two cruise missiles, 165 ballistic missiles, and more than 540 drones. The UAE and its capital city Dubai are often seen as a safe and stable destination in the Middle East. The country hosts wealthy people from across the region and influencers from across the world. Footage shared on social media showed the neon towers of the UAE backlit by missiles and munitions.
It’s unclear how long it will take for Amazon to restore services to the region or how far the damage will spread. Amazon’s dashboard is promising to bring things back up in “at least a day” but the war is far from over. Iran continues to strike targets in the Middle East and it’s unclear what America’s plan of attack is or how long this war might grind on.
Update 2/2/26: This story has been updated with more specifics about the attack from Amazon.

La Global Initiative è un'organizzazione indipendente della società civile, con sede a Ginevra, Svizzera, con un segretariato distribuito in tutto il mondo e un comitato consultivo di alto livello. I membri della sua rete includono eminenti professionisti delle forze dell'ordine, della governance e dello sviluppo che si dedicano alla ricerca di strategie e risposte nuove e innovative alla criminalità organizzata. Produce ogni anno il “Global Organized Crime Index”, fornendo un giudizio basato su “indicatori” sui livelli di criminalità dei cinque continenti nonché sulla rispettiva resilienza al crimine.
Secondo il Global Organized Crime Index 2025, i livelli di criminalità organizzata sono rimasti stabili in tutta Europa, mentre sono aumentati nella maggior parte delle altre regioni. L'Europa si classifica al secondo posto per criminalità dopo l'Oceania. Tuttavia, questa stabilità complessiva nasconde cambiamenti significativi all'interno dei mercati criminali e tra gli attori criminali. Il punteggio di criminalità in Europa si attesta a 4,74, con un punteggio di resilienza di 6,28, il più alto a livello globale. Nonostante le prestazioni superiori dell'Europa in tutti i 12 indicatori di resilienza, l'attività criminale continua a espandersi ed evolversi, sottolineando l'urgenza di aggiornare le strategie di resilienza per affrontare le minacce emergenti. La criminalità finanziaria rimane il mercato criminale più diffuso in Europa per il secondo anno consecutivo. Questi reati comprendono frodi sempre più sofisticate condotte principalmente online, tra cui frodi sugli investimenti, compromissione delle e-mail aziendali, truffe sentimentali, appropriazione indebita ed evasione fiscale. I reati finanziari trascendono i confini regionali e sono sostanzialmente facilitati dalla corruzione. L'Europa rimane un importante hub globale per i reati informatici, classificandosi al secondo posto a livello continentale. Queste vanno dagli attacchi ransomware e dalla distribuzione di malware alle frodi con criptovalute, che spesso prendono di mira istituzioni governative, grandi aziende e infrastrutture critiche. Gli attori criminali informatici ibridi e tradizionali sono sempre più allineati, con gruppi sponsorizzati dallo Stato che spesso si spacciano per criminali informatici indipendenti. I mercati della droga continuano a rappresentare sfide significative. La cocaina e le droghe sintetiche hanno registrato i maggiori aumenti dal 2023. La cocaina rappresenta la principale fonte di reddito per numerosi gruppi criminali organizzati europei, con il continente che funge da destinazione, via di transito e mercato di consumo. La produzione di droghe sintetiche è sempre più dispersa, in particolare nell'Europa centrale e orientale, che ha registrato la crescita più significativa dal 2021. Il consumo di eroina è in calo, mentre la cannabis rimane la sostanza illecita più consumata. La tratta di esseri umani e il contrabbando rimangono minacce pervasive. Le reti di contrabbando sono saldamente radicate lungo la rotta dei Balcani occidentali, con molte nazioni europee che fungono da destinazioni finali dove le persone trafficate affrontano lavori forzati o sfruttamento sessuale. La presenza di attori criminali è cresciuta costantemente dal 2021. Gli attori stranieri rappresentano la preoccupazione più significativa, registrando l'aumento maggiore dal 2021. Questi gruppi sono sempre più diversificati, multietnici e interconnessi. Gli attori del settore privato svolgono un ruolo sostanziale nel riciclaggio di denaro, mentre gli attori integrati nello Stato, sebbene meno diffusi che altrove, facilitano l'attività criminale in determinati contesti.
I punti di forza della resilienza dell'Europa includono la cooperazione internazionale, politiche e legislazioni nazionali solide e l' integrità territoriale. Al contrario, la trasparenza e la responsabilità del governo si posizionano costantemente agli ultimi posti tra gli indicatori di resilienza, così come la capacità di contrasto al riciclaggio di denaro e di regolamentazione economica. Sebbene l'Europa dimostri una resilienza complessivamente relativamente forte, alcuni mercati e attori criminali continuano a espandersi. Questi risultati evidenziano la necessità critica di meccanismi di risposta più efficaci e personalizzati, man mano che la criminalità organizzata si adatta in tutto il continente.

Historically, moving and pointing a camera while filming was the job of a highly-skilled individual. However, there are machines that can do that, enabling all kinds of fancy movement that is difficult or impossible for a human to recreate. A great example is this pan-tilt build from [immofoto3d.]
The build uses a hefty cradle to mount DSLR-size cameras or similar. It’s controlled in the tilt axis by a chunky NEMA 17 stepper motor hooked up to a belt drive for smooth, accurate movement. Similarly, another stepper motor handles the pan axis, with an option for upgrade if you have a heavier camera rig that needs more torque to spin easily. Named Gantry Bot, it’s an open-source design with source files available, so you can make any necessary tweaks on your own. You will have to bring your own control mechanism, though—telling the stepper motors what to do and how fast to do it is up to you.
It’s a heavy-duty build, this one, and you’ll really want a decent metal-capable CNC to get it done, along with a 3D printer for all the plastic pieces. With that said, we’ve featured some other similar builds that might be more accessible if you don’t have a hardcore machine shop in the basement. If you’ve got your own impressive motion rig in the works, be sure to notify the tipsline!

For the people in the back of the room, this is what is being deployed in America.
Why did Hegseth get angry over the idea that an AI company would refuse to engage in mass civilian surveillance by the military as well as automating killing?
It has already been filled tested in Gaza. That’s how Israel killed journalists in their homes.
Israel spent years hacking Tehran's traffic cameras and monitoring bodyguards before assassinating Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei.

I don't get how software folks don't see the gap between what we make and what the bosses make. Like a company that I worked for that IPOd, the CEO got 1000x what the folks who'd been doing the actual work since the beginning got, and like 10000x what more recent hires like myself got. That ain't right.
