Apple accuses former Apple Watch staffer of conspiring to steal trade secrets for Oppo
I wanted to post this yesterday, but my instance was having issues the entire day. Apologies if this is a repost.
Shi allegedly sent a message to Oppo saying that he was working to “collect as much information as possible” before starting his job. And he searched the internet for terms like “how to wipe out macbook” and “Can somebody see if I’ve opened a file on a shared drive?” from his Apple-issued MacBook before leaving the company.
For someone who is presumably pretty intelligent, this is pretty dumb.

China's Heihe Rural Commercial Bank has stopped accepting payments from Russia after falling under European Union sanctions, Russian pro-government media outlet Vedomosti reported on Sept. 1.
kyivindependent.com/key-chines…
Key Chinese bank reportedly halts Russia payments after EU sanctions
Heihe, a small rural lender, was one of the last Chinese banks willing to process transactions for Russian non-sanctioned credit organizations after larger Chinese banks cut off such services.Tim Zadorozhnyy (The Kyiv Independent)
Sanctioning individual businesses, esp. banks, will have zero impact if it's in the regime's interests to bypass such sanctions.
The CCP can either carousel countless existing banks to take over the sanction-busting operation, or they can just spin up a new token address every week for channelling the money. Ultimately they can, and already probably do, just barter goods over the shared border in Siberia like in the good old days of communism.
The only thing that *might* deter the CCP from aiding russia (and all the other despots globally) is if the sanctions cover the entire party-state and threaten its ability to maintain the dictatorship.
And the only effective way of achieving *that* would be a near-DPRK (North Korea) level *embargo* imposed by *all democracies globally*.
With the USA-turned-Murica now being consumed from within by the pro-despot MAGA & Network State clique along with previously pro-democratic nations like India, Brazil and South-Africa now allied with the despot-operated and anti-liberal democratic BRICS and SCO organizations, what is left of the global democratic camp?
We should have circled the democratic wagons back in 1990 when we had all the momentum and leverage.
Now 35 years later when the barbarians are already scaling the walls a few thinktankers are pondering what baby steps we could take... 🤷♂️

I prossimi telescopi potrebbero avere una forma totalmente nuova. Perchè? Perché la geometria classica circolare ha raggiunto i suoi limiti quando si tratta di scovare pianeti come il nostro nella loro zona abitabile. Un design rettangolare da 1x20 metri potrebbe trovare 30 mondi simili alla Terra in soli tre anni, superando ostacoli tecnici che bloccano i telescopi tradizionali. La soluzione è più semplice di quanto sembri: stesso risultato, tecnologia diversa.

"Paper maps" is bullshit. Although they may have some on board, all airlines use digital maps on their EFBs.
#LakeSuperior facts
There is enough water in Lake Superior alone to cover the entire land mass of North and South America in 12in (30cm) of water.
The temperature of the lake water below 200m (110 fathoms) is an almost constant 4 degrees Celsius. The water above varies seasonally but twice per year the entire water column will be a constant 4 degrees (Celsius) and allows the waters to mix. This property makes it a dimictic lake.
Waves as high as 9m (30ft) have been recorded. 6m (20ft) waves are common during storms.
At some of the deepest parts, water can get as cold as 1.1 degrees Celsius. This has some interesting side-effects.
I'll go over some in a reply with an appropriate spoiler

Ukraine shoots down Russian Orlan 'mother drone' carrying FPVs for first time, military says
Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners shot down a Russian Orlan drone carrying two first-person-view (FPV) drones under its wings for the first time, the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade reported on Aug. 22.
This marks the first time the Ukrainian military has destroyed a so-called "mother drone" carrying other UAVs, the brigade claimed.
"Anti-aircraft gunners from the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed an enemy Orlan drone carrying two FPV drones under its wings," the unit said in a Facebook post.
"Prior to this, the pilots of the pursuit platoon had already shot down dozens of enemy reconnaissance drones — Orlan, Zala, and Supercam — but this was the first time they had managed to destroy a mother drone."
The Orlan is a Russian-developed reconnaissance drone widely used by Russia in Ukraine. Feared by Ukrainian soldiers, it often serves to target Russian artillery attacks. It can travel 600 kilometers and climb to an altitude of 5,000 meters.

European postal services suspend shipment of packages to US over tariffs
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The end of an exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages coming into the United States is causing multiple international postal services to pause shipping as they await more clarity on the rule.
The exemption, known as the “ de minimis” exemption, allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency.
It is set to expire on Friday. On Saturday, postal services around Europe announced that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid confusion over new import duties.

I made it to episode 14 of Season 1 before deciding that the level of violence and vengeance exceeded my tolerance levels. It was similar for me with Vincenzo. There's amazing acting and production, and a lot of interesting story elements in both shows, but I don't want to dwell on that level of anger and hate.
I LOVE #LeeJeHoon, but I doubt that I'll return to that series.

Common wind, il titolo inglese originale che riprende un sonetto del poeta William Wordsworth dedicato al rivoluzionario Toussaint Louverture, è anche il titolo della tesi di dottorato di Scott, considerata “la tesi di laurea in scienze umane e sociali in lingua inglese più letta, ricercata e discussa del XX secolo”. Copie pirata di quella tesi sono circolate tra gli storici come un “mixtape underground” per più di trent’anni attraversando due generazioni di accademici e contribuendo a definire l’emergente campo della Storia dell’Atlantico. La ricerca innovativa di Scott troverà il giusto riconoscimento solo molti anni dopo quando sarà pubblicata in forma di libro dall'editore anglo-americano Verso nel 2018 ricevendo infine tutta l'attenzione che meritava.

Apple legal will most certainly make extreme accusations and throw the book at individuals as a deterrent to other staff who may be considering bringing “trade secret” knowledge with them as they leave. Which is basically turns any kind of creative solution to a tech problem into a “trade secret” 🍆in this reality of patents and intellectual property.
I suspect that this person thought they were getting away with something minor and it’s being spun into mustache-twirling supervillains as a warning to staff.
