Longtime Slashdot reader fadethepolice writes: Anduril, arguing that its manufacturing capabilities are directly applicable to laptop manufacturing, is starting a project for a fully 100% U.S.-sourced laptop. The computer will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. I did not see any information about the OS, but I'm assuming that, given the type of processor, this will be Linux-based? "Other companies might design their computers in the U.S., Anduril makes them here,â the Anduril founder Palmer Luckey said in a YouTube video. "We're making parts out of metals that the U.S. knows how to extract, knows how to refine, knows how to process, and knows how to mill at scale at a reasonable price; and that goes for the entire laptop. The same thing goes for the battery technology."

The project, called BlueChip, "will take a phased approach, beginning with expanding domestic sourcing and manufacturing, progressing toward eliminating reliance on foreign suppliers, and ultimately establishing an end-to-end American supply chain." The first device is expected in April 2027.

A press release with additional information is available here.

Apple has acknowledged an inner-display defect affecting a small number of its new $1,999 iPhone Duo foldables after customers reported hearing a crunch while unfolding the device before cracks, lines and other display failures appeared along the crease. Apple is replacing affected phones and investigating the problem.

iFixit believes a failing hinge component may be pressing into and cracking the display rather than the panel itself being defective. Bloomberg reports: Reports of the problem first surfaced on Reddit and other social media sites. Bloomberg News has since independently verified the issue with more than half a dozen customers, who provided photos showing damage to their devices or evidence of their support conversations with Apple. Apple acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying it was "aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units."

"If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement," the Cupertino, California-based company said. Most Duos aren't affected by the problem, and the units that are impacted exhibit the defect quickly, Apple said.

Comedian accused of sexual offences against six women said consensual encounters were ‘unfavourably reframed decades later’

Russell Brand told police he had led a “very promiscuous” life and consensual sexual encounters had been “unfavourably reframed decades later”, his trial has heard.

The 51-year-old comedian blamed the allegations on “defamatory and fictitious” media reports. He said in a statement that he had had sexual encounters in countless locations and scenarios and kissed hundreds of people in public while trying to be “friendly, consensual and warm”.

If ever enacted, proposals by Marine Le Pen and the AfD leader, Alice Weidel, to hollow out EU institutions would be a continental act of self-harm

Following the Brexit referendum in 2016, Marine Le Pen was in a predictably celebratory mood. Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, she told one interviewer, was the first breach in the “Brussels Wall”. Ms Le Pen’s Front National party was at that point committed to taking France down the same path, given the chance. But as the UK’s self-inflicted economic wounds became a cautionary tale for the rest of Europe, the notion of Frexit was put on ice.

Instead, Ms Le Pen now hopes to lead far-right allies in hollowing out the EU from within. This month, both she and the leader of Alternative für Deutschland, Alice Weidel, outlined their visions of a “Europe of nations” in which EU institutions would be stripped of both cash and power. Ms Weidel’s “new deal for Europe” would abolish elections to the European parliament, and seek German opt-outs in areas such as migration, defence and common borrowing. Ms Le Pen’s party, now called National Rally, proposes slashing French contributions to the EU budget by 60% over a five-year presidential term, and ending the role of Brussels in proposing common policies for the 27 member states.

For more than a decade, Berlin-based artists Lynn Lehmann and Dennis Gärtner, a.k.a. Zebu, have been transforming otherwise mundane walls and surfaces into vivid, geometric paintings. Moving between patterns and representational abstraction, the duo draw on their adjacent work in illustration and graphic design to create eye-popping compositions. Indeed, much of their practice is studio-based, so murals introduce broader possibilities in a variety of settings. “There’s something special about being able to interrupt someone’s everyday routine with an unexpected visual surprise,” the pair says.

Currently, Zebu is experimenting with a more intuitive approach to murals as a complement to their method if planning extensively beforehand. “It’s been a really exciting and surprising experience that has taught us to trust the process more and brought back a lot of the fun of painting.” See more on Zebu’s Instagram.

Autonieuws uit het Duitse Neustadt am Rübenberge: een BMW-bestuurder neemt z'n tijd om een groep mensen aan te rijden. De politie was in de buurt vanwege een algemene verkeerscontrole, vond 3 aanrijdingen wel genoeg en opende het vuur. Vier of vijf gewonden, allen buiten levensgevaar.

Bijzonder verhaal is bijzonder: Duitse dienders zeggen dat de aanrijding waarschijnlijk opzettelijk was. Het predicaat 'waarschijnlijk opzettelijk' behoeft geen criminologiestudie: chauffeur van dienst laveert moeiteloos tussen de R en de D om zoveel mogelijk tikjes uit te delen.

De politie wil voorlopig geen tekst en uitleg geven. Wel is toegegeven dat de verdachten behoren tot grote families die in verband staan met clancriminaliteit. En dat burgers zich daarom geen zorgen hoeven te maken. Alleszins rustgevend, inderdaad. Lekker geschafft wel.

Twintig studenten uit Gaza zouden in september beginnen aan een studie in Nederland. Maar om weg te komen uit Gaza, is hulp nodig van de Nederlandse staat. En die wil hun evacuatie niet faciliteren. „Dit zijn genocide-overlevenden. Dat de overheid zegt: ga nogmaals naar de rechter, dat vind ik heel wrang.”

Asielopvang is een druk bediscussieerd en polariserend onderwerp. Maar niet eerder bracht de koning een bezoek aan een asielzoekerscentrum. In Leersum klinkt applaus, gejuich en de zaghrouta uit tientallen vrouwenkelen.

De verliezer van de presidentsverkiezingen van zondag, Flávio Bolsonaro, heeft volgens Braziliaanse media het land verlaten en zou op weg zijn naar de VS. Zo ontloopt hij mogelijke strafvervolging wegens corruptie en witwaspraktijken.

Het kabinet-Jetten zoekt internationale steun tegen de door de VS aangekondigde sancties tegen het Internationaal Strafhof. Maar de regering is zelf niet consequent in de toepassing van het internationaal recht, zegt een belangrijke adviescommissie.

The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural and intellectual movement of African-American artists in the 1920s and 30s. In 1972, filmmaker William Greaves threw a party in Duke Ellington’s apartment for some surviving members of the movement and recorded the whole thing. The footage sat unused for 50 years until Greaves’ son David picked up the project. The result is the documentary film, Once Upon a Time in Harlem; here’s the trailer.

A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance.

For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.

Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance.

William Greaves’ intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive.

It looks fantastic. Once Upon a Time in Harlem currently has a 100% rating (67 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
