Yet another Space-X vehicle explodes

Billionaire ketamine enthusiast unavailable for comment.

Pilot dies after plane carrying nearly 200kg of SpaceX-branded cocaine crashes in remote Brazil:

Authorities said the pilot was found dead outside the aircraft after it crashed in Coruripe, an area on Brazil's tropical coastline, according to G1 Globo.

Federal police said they had identified evidence of international drug trafficking, the outlet also reported.

Top notch police work there, guys!

The fire department was called at 1.48pm on Sunday and six officers were dispatched to the scene following concerns of an explosion, although there was no detonation, according to Em Tempo Noticias. Debris from the plane and drugs were scattered across the field.

Local media said between 180kg and 195kg of cocaine was found in the aircraft. More than 187 packets of cocaine were found with what appeared to be fake SpaceX packaging.

"Appeared to be". "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Activisten projecteren Epstein-video op kasteel voor bezoek Trump

LONDEN (ANP) - Demonstranten projecteerden dinsdag beelden van Donald Trump en zedendelinquent Jeffrey Epstein op een kasteel in Engeland, waar de Amerikaanse president zal verblijven tijdens zijn staatsbezoek aan het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

De groep Led by Donkeys, die bekendstaat om zijn virale stunts gericht op politici, zond een minutenlange videomontage uit op een van de torens van Windsor Castle, ten westen van Londen.

De beelden - die kort voor Trumps aankomst in Groot-Brittannië werden getoond - omvatten de arrestatiefoto ('mugshot') van de president, portretten van Epstein, krantenkoppen en beelden van de twee mannen die samen dansen. De arrestatiefoto van Trump stamt uit augustus 2023, toen hij in de zuidelijke staat Georgia strafrechtelijk werd vervolgd voor verkiezingsfraude.

Trump is dinsdag aangekomen in Londen. Hij is daar voor zijn tweede staatsbezoek aan het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

Consumer Reports Asks Microsoft To Keep Supporting Windows 10

Consumer Reports has urged Microsoft to keep supporting Windows 10 beyond its October 2025 cutoff, saying the move will "strand millions of consumers" who have machines incompatible with Windows 11. The Verge reports: As noted by Consumer Reports, data suggests that around 46.2 percent of people around the world still use Windows 10 as of August 2025, while around 200 to 400 million PCs can't be upgraded to Windows 11 due to missing hardware requirements.

In the letter, Consumer Reports calls Microsoft "hypocritical" for urging customers to upgrade to Windows 11 to bolster cybersecurity, but then leaving Windows 10 devices susceptible to cyberattacks. It also calls out the $30 fee Microsoft charges customers for "a mere one-year extension to preserve their machine's security," as well as the free support options that force people to use Microsoft products, allowing the company to "eke out a bit of market share over competitors."

Consumer Reports asks that Microsoft continue providing support for Windows 10 computers for free until more people have upgraded to Windows 11.

Taliban Leader Bans Wi-Fi In an Afghan Province To 'Prevent Immorality'

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Associated Press: The Taliban leader banned fibre optic internet in an Afghan province to "prevent immorality," a spokesman for the administration said Tuesday. It's the first time a ban of this kind has been imposed since the Taliban seized power in August 2021, and leaves government offices, the private sector, public institutions, and homes in northern Balkh province without Wi-Fi internet. Mobile internet remains functional, however.

Haji Attaullah Zaid, a provincial government spokesman, said there was no longer cable internet access in Balkh by order of a "complete ban" from the leader Hibatullah Akhundzada. "This measure was taken to prevent immorality, and an alternative will be built within the country for necessities," Zaid told The Associated Press. He gave no further information, including why Balkh was chosen for the ban or if the shutdown would spread to other provinces.
