And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

Trump is a grotesque thug. He's trying to have a new Navy ship named after him rather than the Black war hero it was slated to be named after. Want to name it after Trump? Call it the "USS Bone Spur." www.cnn.com/2026/08/20/p...
Exclusive: Navy weighs renaming carrier slated to honor Black war hero, potentially switching it to Trump | CNN Politics

Rump may strip the name of a black Pearl Harbor hero from an aircraft carrier and renaming it after himself. I'm all in favor of this, but only after any Rump family member spends at least one day in combat.
The Miller should be the only aircraft carrier named for a person. Only destroyers or nuclear missile subs should be considered for naming after presidents, and even then only presidents who served in the Navy or USMC. CVN names should be virtues or battles or national symbols.

About 7% of the world speak Spanish. They really could not find a real Spanish speaker to do the audiobook?
William Gibson@greatdismal.bsky.social · 5d agoHave just learned, to my great disappointment, that the Spanish audiobook of Burning Chrome is voiced by AI. Reviews, I’m told, are already complaining.
What @elittlechild.bsky.social says in the first third and what @seanferrick.bsky.social says in the second third of this alligns pretty much exactly with what I felt about the latest episode of #SNW www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rj4...

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.
For journalists covering policy, regulations are basically the equivalent of murders for police and crime reporters. Fortunately, it's much less unseemly to revel in what great copy they can make. Top work here from @sgclark92.bsky.social!
Ice cream makers as ‘critical infrastructure’? EU’s new cybersecurity law suffers wobbly rollout
What merits extra EU protection from cyber attacks is turning into a confusing question for bureaucrats and businesses alike.

I didn’t know this happened. Did you know this happened. This is some BS for sure.
@medus4.com I am trying to avoid spending money right now, so visiting your website was a BIG mistake!
@seanferrick.bsky.social Fun fact, The Undiscovered Country is also my favourite trek movie. It has everything one would want.
@seanferrick.bsky.social One final thing and then I'll leave you alone. Casablanca was one of my dads favourite movies and we had a tradition of watching it at Christmas. It's one of my favourite movies too, so between Christmas and a random re-watch during the year, I have easily seen it 50 times.
@seanferrick.bsky.social You mentioned Zeppelins docking with the Empire State Building? Turns out it happened once and was deemed impractical: www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-ma...
Docking on the Empire State Building
Despite plans for a mooring station, only one airship ever docked at the Empire State Building

@seanferrick.bsky.social If last weeks Strange New Worlds divided opinion somewhat among fans, I guarantee this weeks will do the same.
@seanferrick.bsky.social i regret to say that only today I learnt the meaning of Kirk's last words in ST VI.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Atlantic: Raytheon and Lockheed, makers of Patriot, justify their concerns with intellectual property theft and technology transfer, but what they are really worried about is that Ukrainians will find a way to improve Patriot and produce it faster and for much less money than they do in US.
Really nice to see that this is a prominent message of the AI Village DEFCON
