Anthropic embedded spyware in Claude Code

Technology.
We found what appears to be a hidden backdoor-like telemetry mechanism in Claude Code. The code does not merely “format a date.” It appears to detect proxy usage, Chinese timezone settings, and proxy URL characteristics, then encode the result into subtle system-prompt differences. That is covert environment fingerprinting.

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought

Technology.

As reported by Arstechnica, in September, Microsoft significantly tightened game-streaming limits for Game Pass subscribers. At the time, the company announced plans to let non-subscribers buy cloud gaming hours through the Xbox Store and stream eligible games they already own on supported devices. On October 21, Microsoft launched the new pay-as-you-go option for Xbox Insiders, introducing the following introductory prices:

Chinese billionaire who has fathered more than 100 children hopes to have dozens of U.S.-born boys to one day take over his business

Technology.
Billionaires like Telegram founder Pavel Durov and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have fathered legions of children who are slated to inherit their empires. An ultra-wealthy Chinese businessman is doing the same in the U.S., in hopes of producing around 20 U.S.-born children to inherit his video game fortune.

Okay... spinal tap? Or did the migrants need to donate a finger?

Inside Artemis: Il profilo di volo
Notice there is no video from the mission at all. What a fraud...
What communist regimes REALLY did to women
WTF is this? Since when do women need "bodily autonomy"? Is that the same as murder of children? And since when do women need "more say" in how the society "is run", while having more "free time"?

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.

Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.
Primeiro Conjunto de Satélites Comerciais Nucleares para Lançar a Bordo SpaceX Rocket
According to their web site, it produces 0.00000004 watts, an amount so small there isn't even a consumer device that could measure any energy output above zero, much less power anything. And it costs $5,250.00. Hence, the satellite needs solar power.

To scale this up to generate a single watt would cost $10.5B and weigh 15 tons.

Voyager 1 relies on Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) for internal power.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.

Key Features of the Power System

The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.

Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.

The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.

Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.

Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
