Afghanistan was the world’s biggest opium producer and a major source of heroin in Europe and Asia when the Taliban seized power in August 2021. They pledged to wipe out the country’s drug cultivation industry and imposed a formal ban in April 2022, dealing a heavy blow to hundreds of thousands of farmers and day laborers who relied on proceeds from the crop to survive.

The U.N. agency said cultivation was up 330% and production rose by 400% compared to last year. Cultivation rose to more than 43,000 hectares (106,000 acres) in 2026 from 10,000 hectares (24,700 acres) a year earlier, it said.

Farmers were concealing small poppy plots within cereal fields or inside walled compounds to evade detection, the report said.

 

The AI industry continues to gobble up manufacturing resources that were once dedicated to serving PC, smart device, and gadget makers. We’ve seen huge demand/supply driven price rises in RAM, GPUs, SSDs, and more through 2026. Now that most basic and unglamorous electronics necessity, the PCB, looks set to join them. A news report published by Nikkei Asia quotes several leading PC and PCB industry managers, making it clear we are going to see PCB (and PCB subcomponent) shortages and price rises in the coming months.

 

In a world where werewolves live among humans in secret, Ji-u Han, a detective agency owner and a powerful werewolf, crosses paths with Yuseung Cheon, a famous actor, when he “accidentally” hits her with his car. And when they run into each other again “by chance,” one thing becomes clear to Ji-u: She must have him —whatever that may entail. Ji-u wants Yuseung’s rare ability to make werewolves stronger through touch. Yuseung, on the other hand, wants information on key figures in the werewolf world to eliminate them. Will they each get what they’re after? Or more importantly—will they fall in love?

    as a coder myself, I admit that sometimes coders are the dumbest people in the world because they live in their own bubble. they only see LLM as mere tools that would greatly help with development.

    do they know how many resources are wasted by data centers? do they care when the people suffer from data center pollution? or do they realised LLM trained by stealing people works? etc

    In many cases, there's no file system can withstand from power outages.

    While the risk of data loss can be mitigated by disabling or limiting amount of write cache. Still there's no guarantee that will prevent corruption of the file system.

    I think many of us feel stuck, because the choices for smartphone operating systems are indeed limited.

    As for me, it’s clear that Google is making it harder for people to develop and install Android apps. Google wants to ensure that it remains in control and that no one can escape from GApps and Gemini.

    The only way to stop this is to break up Google. Or to fund smartphone OS project other than Android, however, that would take years.
