If true, this is very likely manufactured on SMIC’s latest N+3 node.

Israel’s military has intensified its use of explosive-laden robots in northern Gaza, causing widespread destruction, fear and civilian deaths, according to a report on Sunday by The New Arab’s Arabic-language sister outlet, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.

The devices, often modified M113 armoured vehicles carrying around five tonnes of explosives, have been deployed particularly in the towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia. Over the course of one week, five were detonated in Beit Lahia alone.

Unlike conventional strikes, these robots are remotely operated and can remain stationary for hours or days in front of homes, hospitals or residential blocks, creating prolonged periods of dread. Witnesses told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the explosions often result in devastation greater than typical airstrikes, destroying entire buildings and sending debris flying hundreds of metres.

I remember, and I'm gen z. And some higher end laptops had two battery slots so you can hot swap the batteries without turning it off.

Those were the days. Everyone talks about how smartphones nowadays get people addicted to instant gratification and convenience, but IMO the ability to swap out the battery when it died was a level of instant convenience we had decades ago that modern devices are severely lacking. Having to tether your phone to a battery bank while on the go is nowhere near as good as just popping the back cover and replacing the battery.

Microsoft has quietly implemented a policy blocking employee emails containing the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” or “genocide” on its internal Exchange servers, according to No Azure for Apartheid, a group of pro-Palestine Microsoft employees. The automated filter, which silently prevents such emails from reaching recipients was first detected on Wednesday—just after Microsoft’s Build developer conference faced repeated disruptions by the activist group.

Microsoft has been rocked by internal dissent over its collaboration with the Israeli military and government amid the ongoing assault on Gaza. The company has faced disruptions to its events, including protests from employees over its provision of cloud services and other critical infrastructure used by the Israeli military.

Now, the company appears to be tightening its grip on internal discourse. The terms “Israel” and “P4lestine” do not trigger a block, the group said. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.
