Why do so many people think the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia?

It’s a popular example of the “Mandela effect,” or a collective false memory. And while some people may laugh and move on, others spend years searching for an explanation.

Der Internationale Strafgerichtshof (IStGH) trennt sich von Microsoft und setzt künftig auf die OpenDesk-Software des deutschen Zentrums für Digitale Souveränität (Zendis). Grund sind US-Sanktionen und Repressalien gegen Mitarbeiter wie Chefankläger Karim Khan, deren Microsoft-Konten gesperrt wurden. Ziel ist mehr digitale Unabhängigkeit von US-Konzernen. Diesem Beispiel sollten sich viele Unternehmen und Institutionen anschließen! 👇

How AGI became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time

The idea that machines will be as smart as—or smarter than—humans has hijacked an entire industry. But look closely and you’ll see it’s a myth reminiscent of more explicitly outlandish and fantastical schemes.

All Eyes on Sudan

Sudan is facing the world’s largest humanitarian and displacement crisis and yet, the world looks away.

More than 12 million people have been displaced since war broke out in April 2023 between the army of Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF militia led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. Over 150,000 people have been killed.

Now, the city of #Al-Fasher has fallen to the #RSF. Civilians are being targeted, hospitals looted, and entire neighbourhoods destroyed. Half of those displaced are children.

But Sudan’s collapse is not an isolated tragedy; it's the result of decades of colonial destabilisation, exploitation, and the continous influence of other states such as #Egypt, #Russia, #China, The United Arab Emirates and #SaudiArabia. The latter directly receiving weaponry from European states such as #UK, #France and #Germany, as well as the #USA.

The same system that is selling weapons in already war-torn areas, is then sending more weapons to build a border regime to prevent people fleeing from this violence.

We need to stop this madness of endless militarisation. Politics for people, not for profit, and human rights for all.

All eyes on Sudan.

I submitted an abstract to #IPEC2026 #ECCEAsia on lowering the transistor switching losses in a standard TO247 package.

We have already maxed out silicon performance and we almost maxed out SiC on a semiconductor level. But we still can influence their performance by changing how we package and drive them.

We propose to add a a bit of positive feedback to the gate so that the transistor switches faster. Jet fighters use similar trick to be more manoeuvrable.
