Western Australia's Gem

Lucky Bay, Cape Le Grand National Park, Western Australia. With impossibly white sand and some of the clearest turquoise water, it is Australia's most breathtaking coastal gems. The drone photo captures the signature curve of the bay, where the shoreline sweeps gently between rugged headlands and a pastel sky softens the horizon.

Meteorietfragmenten beschadigen huizen in Duitsland

KOBLENZ (ANP/DPA/BELGA) - Volgens de politie hebben fragmenten van een meteoriet daken en huizen beschadigd in verschillende delen van de Zuidwest-Duitse deelstaat Rijnland-Palts.

Schademeldingen zijn onder andere binnengekomen uit de regio Hunsrück, het Eifelgebergte en Koblenz, aldus een politiewoordvoerder. Een aanvankelijk onbekend lichtverschijnsel trok zondagavond de aandacht van veel mensen in het westen van Duitsland. Ooggetuigen meldden het incident op sociale media.

Ook in grote delen van België waren meldingen van een grote lichtflits aan de hemel. De lichtflits, die leek op een vuurbol, was drie seconden te zien, aldus persbureau Belga. Het gaat waarschijnlijk om een meteorietsteentje dat op de dampkring is gebotst en uit elkaar is gespat, zei Marc Van den Broeck van Volkssterrenwacht Urania.

In Nederland meldden mensen vanuit verschillende delen van het land via sociale media dat ze zondagavond rond 19.00 uur een soort vuurbol hadden gezien in de lucht.


Tientallen doden door droneaanvallen op markten in Soedan

DARFUR (ANP/AFP) - Droneaanvallen op markten in de Soedanese regio Kordofan hebben zondag 33 mensen het leven gekost, melden medische bronnen in het land. Bij een aanval in Darfur ontstond een hevige oliebrand, zeiden bronnen tegen persbureau AFP.

Twee van de aanvallen vonden plaats in de grondstofrijke regio Kordofan, het hevigste strijdtoneel in de bijna drie jaar durende oorlog tussen het Soedanese leger en de paramilitaire Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

In de door de RSF gecontroleerde steden Abu Zabad en Wad Banda kwamen in totaal 33 mensen om het leven en raakten 59 gewond, aldus een arts van het ziekenhuis in Abu Zabad. Een militaire bron ontkende betrokkenheid en zei dat de "strijdkrachten geen burgergebieden bombarderen".

Sinds het begin van de oorlog in april 2023 worden beide partijen beschuldigd van oorlogsmisdaden, zoals het aanvallen van burgers en het bombarderen van woongebieden. Tienduizenden mensen zijn omgekomen en meer dan 11 miljoen mensen zijn uit hun huizen verdreven.

Steam on Linux Numbers Dropped to 2.23% in February

"In November Steam on Linux use hit an all-time high of 3.2%," reports Phoronix. And then in December Steam on Linux jumped even higher, to 3.58%.

But January's numbers settled a little lower, at 3.38%. And last Monday the February numbers were released, showing Steam on Linux at... 2.23%?

Like with prior times where there are wild drops in Linux use, the Steam Survey shows Simplified Chinese use running up by 30% month over month. Whenever there is such significant differences in language use tends to be a reporting anomaly and negatively impacting Linux. Valve often puts out corrected/updated figures later on, so we'll see if that is again the case for this February data.

Arda is developing an AI and software platform, including a video model that can analyze footage from factory floors and use it to train robots to run factories autonomously, the people said. The company's software will coordinate machines and humans across the entire production process, from product design and manufacturability to finished goods coming off the line.
The startup's goal is to make manufacturing cost effective in the Western part of the globe, reducing reliance on China as geopolitical and national security concerns rise...

The president had stirred outrage online by failing to remove his Trump-brand white hat during the ritual homecoming at Dover air force base in Delaware on Saturday for six army reserve soldiers killed in Kuwait.

That is where Formula 1 comes in. No, really.

The sound of Rock and Roll is the sound of a car engine. Speed, mobility, sex: three synonyms for freedom. When George is a teen, this is the sound of the future, of what his life can be. So, without Chuck Berry and Aintree, there'd be no Beatles. George Harrison may be thought of as a holy man, but the primordial ooze his career emerges from is made of cars. from George Harrison's Quiet Love Affair With Formula One [Rolling Stone; ungated]

Fukuoka, mattina presto.
La strada è quasi vuota, lavata dalla pioggia.
Le lanterne, le insegne, i locali chiusi raccontano già cosa succederà più tardi.
Di notte qui si mangia, si beve, si parla forte.
Adesso invece c’è solo un uomo che cammina veloce e una città che aspetta di svegliarsi.

福岡、朝。
雨に濡れた通りには、まだ人がほとんどいない。
提灯や看板、閉まった店が、夜の賑わいをすでに語っている。
夜になれば、ここは食べて飲んで笑う人で満ちる。
今はただ、急ぎ足の男と、目を覚ますのを待つ街だけ。

Fukuoka, early morning.
The street is almost empty, the pavement still wet from the rain.
Lanterns, signs and closed restaurants already hint at what will happen later.
At night this place fills with food, drinks and voices.
Right now there is only one man walking fast and a city waiting to wake up.
