#Skwawkbox | Kids shot in head, pregnant women ripped apart: volunteer surgeonโs testimony shocks UNSC
"Solidarity with Sidhwa and all the doctors risking life, limb and sanity to help Israelโs victims. Shame on the UK government and others who have either done nothing or, like the Starmer regime, have actively assisted in Israelโs racist slaughter of civilians for eighteen months and now think a little hand-wringing and more inaction will now hide their guilt."

Quoting Gideon Levy on how Germany is betraying the memory of the Holocaust through its response to the situation in Gaza:
[...] It is difficult, if not impossible, in Germany to criticize Israel, no matter its actions. This isn't friendship; it's a subservience to the past that must end in the face of Gaza. The "special relationship" cannot include legitimizing war crimes. Germany has no right to ignore the International Criminal Court, which was established because of its crimes, and to consider inviting a prime minister wanted for war crimes. It has no right to continue reciting clichรฉs of the past and laying wreaths at Yad Vashem, an hour and a half's drive from Khan Yunis.

As with most modular things, the more modules you have, the less "solid" a device feels. That's also the case with the framework 16, which feels less like a solid, one piece device than the 13 inch.
Not that it flexes or anything, because it's still a nice big block of aluminium, with very little bending or flexing, but you definitely feel the keyboard moving a tiny bit, the separator and sliders aren't "locked in place" 100%.
The laptop is also pretty big. The GPU module sticks out of the back, about 1.5 centimeters, and the display has massive bezels on top and at the bottom, so it's 16:10, but it could be 3:2.
I decided to go with Fedora 41, as it was just released and it's the most "vanilla" distro I could think of. And install went without a hitch, apart from the preinstalled Windows on the SSD that I had to set up so I could disable bitlocker.
After that I had nothing to do: every part of that laptop works as advertised, with the dedicated GPU being recognized, and used for the right programs automatically in hybrid graphics mode, the touchpad, audio, ports, everything just works.
In terms of performance, in Geekbench 6, the laptop got 2551 in single core, and 11314 in multi core. As per gaming, I ran a few benchmarks: Horizon Zero dawn, at the native 2560 x1600 resolution, and ultra settings, got 30 PS. At 1440p upscaled with FSR set to quality, on ultra settings, it reached 82 FPS, which is perfect.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider got an average of 72 FPS at the native resolution and ultra settings
In terms of battery life, you get an 85Wh battery in this thing, which, with the display brightness lowered to 50%, on wifi, playing youtube videos in a loop in Firefox, got me around 7h15 minutes. not too bad!
Now, let's talk hardware. The display is 2560 x 1600, up to 165hz, and it's fantastic. It's 16:10, which is fine, with big bezels, around it, which isn't great, but the display itself works really well, with 1500:1 contrast ratio, 100% of DCI-p3, variable refresh rate and freesync if your desktop supports that, and 500 nits of brightness. Great display.
I won't dwell on the webcam and onboard mic, they're bot the usual potato stuff, suitable for video conferencing and not much more**
You do have privacy switches here as well, for the webcam and the mic though, so that's nice.
The keyboard is excellent, the keys have more travel than you'd think, and they feel really nice with a little clicky muted sound that I really enjoy. I didn't expect a hot swappable keyboard to feel that good, but it's one of the best laptop keyboard I've used. really good. You also have the fingerprint reader in the power button, which works perfect on Linux, without any addition stuff to install.
The touchpad, though isn't as nice. The touchpad itself feels super smooth, it's glass, and clicks well, even though it's still a diveboard mechanism, so you can't click from the upper part of it. The issue is that the touchpad module wiggled just tiny bit in place, and you can feel it when moving around, doing gestures, and clicking, and that's not great.
Speakers are solid and won't disappoint, they don't reverberate in the chassis, which must have been tricky to pull off with such a modular ensemble of plates popped on top of the main laptop, and they have a decent amount of bass, really not bad at all. As per the sound the laptop makes under load, well, it is a laptop, so you'll hear the fan when gaming, but it's not the whiniest, highest pitched fan I've heard. Headphones will make that sound disappear, and I never heard the fan when just using the laptop to browse the web or type a script in a notes app.

Virtually everything online now collects data. And this data doesn't just stay at the company that collected it. This data is a giant repository for governments to use and track or monitor their citizens.
See, in a LOT of countries, governments have the right to ask a company to provide all the data they've collected on their users. Companies have no choice but to comply with these, which is also why using end to end, and zero access encrypted services is crucial.
For example, the US can request any company to give them data on a specific user, they've done so more than any other country in 2020. But other countries do the exact same: Germany, Denmark, South korea, France, virtually ever country does this.
If you want even more scary numbers, in 2022, Meta, the parent company for Facebook, Instagram, or Whatsapp, got 827K requests for data. They complied with 76% of these requests.
globalsecuritymag.com/Meta-recโฆ
There are a lot of legal offensives being planned, or already implemented in various countries, so let's look at a few.
In Russia, recent laws from 2017 banned anonymous use of online messaging apps, and prohibits the use of tools that would circumvent government censorship. This means that while VPNs aren't exactly banned, if they let people access banned websites, then they'll also be banned. This has happened to at least 15 VPNs, including NordVPN, ProtonVPN, and OperaVPN.
hrw.org/news/2017/08/01/russiaโฆ
In Australia, in 2021, a law was proposed to force people to attach their real name to their social media posts, apparently to fight online trolls, bullying and harrassment. Users would have had to provide an ID before opening any social media account, which would obviously open the door to surveillance, monitoring, and censorship.
ia.acs.org.au/article/2021/govโฆ
In France, we have the recent SREN law. This thing would give the telecom watchdog powers to block websites, and require tools for age verification. On top of that, the law will give the government capabilities to demand web browsers and DNS providers block certain websites.
adguard.com/en/blog/france-webโฆ
in the UK, the Online Safety Bill of 2022 allows the regulatory agency Ofcom to force websites to collect people's personal data, and they'll be able to scan, restrict and remove content that is considered harmful. The bill also mandates online communication services to be moderated, which basically means end to end encryption can be enabled there anymore.

So, what can you do about this? For protecting your data, there are plenty of things you can do. First, stop using privacy invasive operating systems. If you can't move to something like Linux, try at least to disable all the telemetry you can in Windows or macOS, in Android and iOS. You can try using a degoogled, privacy focused Android ROM on your smartphone.
Leaving Chrome for a more private browser is also pretty much mandatory. Same goes for your online services: stop using Google as a search engine, Gmail, or stuff like Outlook, OneDrive, iCloud, and the like. Using a VPN is also a solid option to at least try and blur the lines.

Google has shown that with enough scale, just running ads on a website is enough to keep the content free of charge. But of course, as with everything where money is involved, it went way too far. This limited the ad revenue, and so websites decided to add more ads.
To compound that, ads started paying less and less, so websites started chasing profits by making the internet worse for everyone.
Twitter's revenue is 89% ads. It has existed for more than 10 years, and has never made any money. So even at that scale, ads are just not working to sustain a company.
All the changes Musk is making to Twitter, like firing most of the workforce, charging for the API, limiting the number of tweets, Twitter Blue, it's all to try and turn a profit. So, the experience of Twitter is now ten times worse, because ads don't work.
Now let's look at Reddit. Reddit is about as popular as Twitter. And Reddit isn't profitable either. They're kept afloat by raising money from investors. And so Reddit charges for their API now. Reddit made their site worse for everyone: the regular users, and also everyone browsing the internet and landing on reddit to see a "this subreddit is private" message, making any web search ultra inefficient.
And we can also look at Youtube. Youtube is HUGE. And it's hard to know if youtube is profitable or not. The consensus seems to be that it is, but the actions of youtube seem to indicate that maybe it's not THAT profitable. For example, youtube seems to be planning some moves against adblockers. Youtube is also taking steps against third party frontends, like Invidious. They wouldn't do stuff like that if profit growth was awesome.
I love alternative platforms, but they'll probably never replace the giant ones: they don't offer a business model for people to create content on them.
As a user, you probably don't care about that. And the person running the instance of said platform maybe is ready to fund it out of pocket, but the people creating the content on these platforms? They're not making money from them.
And so as ad-based internet models start dying off, I have a feeling we're going to be faced with 3 options
First, the big platforms survive as-is with the ads, you can still have ads on your own website, but the platforms will start keeping more and more of the ad revenue.
This is where we're heading now. People are tired of ads and their privacy invasion, and the over abundance of them, but platforms seem to think this is the way to go.
Second option, the big platforms and websites evolve to another model, like paywalling everything behind a paid subscriptions like Youtube Premium.
It would basically kill off an entire portion of the internet, but it probably wouldn't be the worst portion to lose.
Third option, the big platforms and the internet as a whole can't find a new model to replace ad based ones, and big platforms and big websites die off. Content creation becomes a hobby mostly.
This is probably the best outcome for the internet as a whole, as it would probably kill off most clickbait, disinformation, AI generated crap. We would have far less things to read and watch, but a lot of if would be higher quality.

What The Future Aggregate Plant Will Look Like: Intelligent Crushing Plants Are Reshaping The Sand And Gravel Industry
As technology continues to transform every corner of the construction and mining sectors, aggregate production is entering a new era. The traditional image of dusty, manually operated stone crushing plants is giving way to streamlined, automated systems that are faster, smarter, and more efficient. Intelligent crushing plantsโbuilt around digital integration and data-driven decision-makingโare reshaping how we approach productivity, quality control, and sustainability in the sand and gravel industry.
This article explores what future aggregate plants will look like, and how intelligent systems are revolutionizing the performance of the aggregate crusher plant(planta procesadora de agregados) and the stone crusher in modern operations.
The Shift From Manual Operations To Intelligent Systems
Smart Plants Begin With Real-Time Data
The most significant transformation in the future aggregate crusher plant is the integration of real-time data monitoring. Advanced sensors and IoT (Internet of Things) devices are embedded throughout crushers, conveyors, feeders, and screens to collect performance metrics such as vibration, temperature, throughput, and energy consumption.
This constant data stream allows plant operators to:
- Detect wear and tear before failure
- Optimize machine settings based on material hardness and feed size
- Predict maintenance needs
- Adjust production rates in real time
These features significantly reduce unplanned downtime and ensure that the stone crusher(trituradora de piedra pequeรฑa) operates at peak efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence And Automation In Crushing Operations
Smarter Control Systems Drive Productivity
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is enabling automated decision-making within aggregate plants. Through machine learning algorithms, intelligent systems can identify patterns in material flow and automatically adjust the equipment to maintain consistent output quality and volume.
Some examples include:
- Auto-calibration of crushing gaps for uniform product size
- Real-time adjustment of conveyor speeds to prevent overloading
- Intelligent sorting systems using AI-powered vision sensors
- Automated dust suppression based on air quality sensors
By minimizing manual intervention, these systems reduce labor costs and errors, leading to a safer and more productive working environment.
Remote Monitoring And Centralized Plant Management
One Operator Can Control The Entire Plant
Another major innovation in future aggregate plants is centralized control. With remote monitoring tools and cloud-based platforms, operators can manage multiple crushing stages and auxiliary systems from a single dashboardโsometimes even off-site.
Benefits of centralized control include:
- Real-time alerts via mobile devices
- Instant access to performance reports and maintenance logs
- Integration with inventory and logistics systems
- Remote troubleshooting and software updates
This level of connectivity makes the modern stone crusher(trituradora de piedra mรฉxico precio) part of a broader intelligent network, improving operational transparency and response time.
Energy Efficiency And Sustainability Gains
Greener Plants Are Smarter Plants
Energy use is one of the highest operating costs in aggregate production. Intelligent crushing plants are now designed to optimize energy consumption without compromising output.
Energy-saving features may include:
- Load-sensing motors that only run at required capacity
- Solar-powered auxiliary systems
- Smart shutdown protocols when equipment is idle
- Heat recovery systems for reuse in other parts of the facility
These improvements not only reduce operational expenses but also contribute to a lower carbon footprint, aligning aggregate operations with global sustainability goals.
Integration With Digital Project Management Platforms
From Quarry To Construction Site
Future-ready aggregate plants are not just isolated systemsโthey are becoming an integrated part of digital construction ecosystems. Data collected from the aggregate crusher plant can be fed into project management platforms to align with downstream processes like batching, transport logistics, and site delivery.
This connectivity enables:
- Better forecasting of raw material supply
- Faster adaptation to construction schedule changes
- Reduced material waste and transportation inefficiencies
- Synchronized quality control across the supply chain
What This Means For Investors And Contractors
Intelligent Plants Deliver Long-Term Value
For investors and contractors, intelligent crushing plants represent more than a technical upgradeโthey offer a competitive advantage. Lower maintenance costs, higher uptime, improved quality, and sustainability compliance make these facilities attractive both economically and operationally.
While the initial investment may be higher, the long-term ROI is often superior due to lower cost per ton, fewer failures, and better integration with future digital construction technologies.
Conclusion
The future of the aggregate crusher plant is intelligent, connected, and sustainable. From AI-powered automation to centralized control and green energy features, smart crushing plants are revolutionizing how the stone crusher operates in the sand and gravel industry. Those who embrace these changes early will not only improve their operational efficiency but also secure a more resilient and profitable business model in the years ahead.
