Right now the iPhone can straight up connect to the Iridium Satellite network, which IMO is far more useful that FM radio in any emergency. At least that system can send and receive messages, including most importantly GPS Co-ordinates.
Some people host their plex on a VPS (basically your portion of a server on a cloud that you can do whatever with) server and Plex recently banned a really popular one suddenly.
Some people store their plex on a vps server, and plex recently banned the cheapest super popular one because some people were selling access to Plex servers on that host.
Ooops, Plex just banned the server provider you were using, guess you’ll have to migrate it all at the drop of a hat.
Honestly there will probably be no resolution. Pakistani Intelligence services will put pressure on their contacts in the insurgent groups, find and kill the planners of the attack. But nothing otherwise will change. There could be a long term resolution if Balochistan gets richer somehow, and therefore more influential.
It should be noted that the Pakistan intelligence services are an incredibly Machiavellian group. They quite often tend to know where every terrorist group is based, what they are planning, who and where the leaders are, etc.
So why don’t they do anything about it? Well, having a terror group on the payroll is very useful sometimes. Whether you want a politician dead, an Afghan Taliban member surveilled or dead, need to justify funding. Now they aren’t the illuminati, they don’t control them directly, they just tend to just not care when the terrorist groups are targeting someone they don’t like.
Again not the illuminati and there have been times when they fuck up, including a Taliban attack on the Army Public School, Peshawar, a K-12, where the Taliban specifically went for the older kids of security forces personal as they are less replaceable. Astoundingly evil honestly, was the country’s 9/11 moment for sure.
If you want to get an idea of how the politics of Pakistan work, ‘The Assassination’ (of Benazir Bhutto) by the BBC World Service is incredibly insightful. It’s from a reporter who was very close to the ex-PM and witnessed everything first hand.
This might have been Islamic extremists, usually the Pakistan Taliban (which is a different organization than the Afghan Taliban, mind) however they have denied responsibility. It might be a different group, multiple islamic terrorist groups are active in the country.
However, it may be terrorism from Balochistan insurgent groups. Balochistan is the largest and poorest province in Pakistan, but Pakistan likes to keep a tight hold on it, since there are a lot of minerals and natural gas reserves there.
The insurgency in Balochistan is quite low level, and their push for an independent Balochistan is not widely popular. However, there is widespread distrust and resentment towards the Pakistani Government and especially the Army.
The government and army in a bid for maintaining control and suppressing the insurgency and any ideas of succession have been running a draconian anti-terror operation for decades which includes arbitrary detention, torture of suspected terrorists, silencing of critics and imprisonment without trial or unfair trials.
These kinds of anti-terror campaigns are not unusual in Pakistan. However, there is a difference here compared to similar surprisingly popular campaigns in KPK province, in that the security forces there are usually ethnic KPK natives, and there is the widespread use of the frontier corps which is a paramilitary unit that exclusively recruits locals especially in practically independent remote tribal regions.
The security forces of Pakistan are largely composed of people from KPK, Punjab and the Muhajir ethnic group. These security forces in Balochistan can be racist towards Balochi people, and are seen as outsiders stepping on Balochi necks.
There has been covert and explicit support from India for Balochistan succession. Pakistan has credibly accused India of funding, supplying and training some of the insurgent forces to destabilize the region and the country as a whole. There is also loud support in Indian media for Balochistan’s succession as well as widespread astroturfing campaigns. The general feeling is that this support is blatantly self serving, and not aligned with what the actual people in Balochistan want.
Again, succession is both unpopular and practically unfeasible (despite mineral and gas reserves Balochistan is otherwise incredibly resource poor especially lacking in arable land and water). You could say that India is supporting succession rather than the campaign for more transparency and better civil rights in the anti-terror campaigns because the former is unlikely and will massively harm the country as a whole, while the latter will probably help Pakistan and Balochistan become more integrated with the country.
It should be noted that Balochi nationalist parties, are very popular but not separatists ones. The provincial assembly just dissolved ahead of elections but before that the party in power was the Balochi Awami (people’s) Party, a nationalist center left, progressive, party that is in support of federalism.
The current (caretaker) PM of Pakistan is an independent who used to be a part of the BAP before resigning to become the caretaker PM, since the caretaker PM is supposed to be neutral to ensure a fair election.

The thing is that most Unity games don’t even have DRM in the first place. At most most will have the Steam DRM which is trivial to bypass. And Unity Games released on GOG will be especially at risk.
The problem with debunking is that it is inherently boring and an inefficient way to learn. To debunk something, first you have to explain the nonsense to the audience (which is ultimately pointless, especially if they haven’t heard the misinformation before), and then you go step by step providing accurate data.
Itll always be more interesting to provide the correct accurate>!!< information in the first place, because then you can control the narrative that is used to provide the information instead of being forced to conform to the narrative of the misinformation.
A clear, non sarcastic debunk is simply 50% explaining nonsense, then 50% a list of correct information. And a list is boring. That’s why all the debunkers inject personality into the debunks, because that’s the only way to make it interesting and entertaining.
Thought Emporium is probably the premier creator when it comes to genetic engineering. I mean other times I’ve mentioned real things he’s done, people thought I was being hyperbolic, but no he is actually training rat neurons to play doom, he did create custom Spider DNA to create spider silk with Yeast and he did engineer a virus to solve his lactose intolerance.
Could’ve been a TA, masters or PhD student, researcher, anything really lol.
Things can be done a lot quickly if you are given an unlimited budget. Consider how quickly NASA got from nothing to landing on the moon, vs how long it is taking now with their much more limited budget.
Dutch company that is heavily pressured not to sell the machine to China by the US government. All the countries you listed are close allies of the US. You can’t fault the US from trying to stop China but let’s not pretend this is a free global market.
Making a lithography machine that’s on par with ASML is just an engineering challenge. One that’s been solved once already by ASML, whose to say it can’t be solved again by someone else, especially if they can copy bits of the design.
They should because this needlessly upsets the status quo and puts Taiwan at risk because it forces China to escalate so they can continue to pretend to own Taiwan.
The British Parliament didn’t do this because they care about Taiwan, they did it to score brownie points at home.
The Thai family of the pharmacist who came up with the formula still owns 50% of Red Bull.
I guess the takeaway is that Empress is deranged weird and Skidrow are creepy weird.
Yeah but if you don’t sue, a legitimate infringer in the future might use not enforcing on the trademark there to argue there own case. Trademark law really doesn’t leave trademark holders in a good position. Though I imagine that a lawsuit when those laws were written weren’t nearly as prohibitively expensive.
Are you forgetting when the FBI still came after Pirate bay? And that the founders would have been arrested had they ever entered the US or any country with an extradition treaty?
