Arsenal

“We didn’t expect this.” A Ukrainian drone has revealed a Russian arsenal in a warehouse, and the surprise has been huge: the missiles are animals

by

From the early stages of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when tanks were advancing while logistics columns were bogged down and fuel was scarce, the war began to reveal an uncomfortable paradox: the more modern it became in the skies, more “medieval” It was done on the ground. In fact, in that space where drones, satellites and trenches coexist, the return of solutions from the past apparently overcome was an early sign that the conflict was going to be, above all, a test of resistance. The latest Ukrainian discovery has confirmed that the wear and tear is tremendous. The return of the war of attrition. The irony is that the war in Ukraine has been shedding any illusion of modernity to return, as the days go by, to brutal logic of wear, one in which the quantity and capacity to take losses They weigh more than any technological “game changer”, and where the Russian army, pressured by the massive consumption of material and men, is beginning to show obvious signs of logistical exhaustion. On the southern and eastern front, the shortage of armored vehicles and modern systems is no longer hidden with silence, but is manifest in improvised solutions reminiscent of conflicts from another era and centuries, while Moscow insists on maintaining constant pressure on Ukrainian defenses at any cost. Cavalry in the 21st century. This wear and tear became visible at the beginning of 2026 when Ukrainian units detected and neutralized Russian assaults carried out on horseback, a tactic that seemed banished from modern warfare but that reappeared in sectors such as Oleskiivka in response to lack of means conventional. We are talking about small assault groups that advanced mounted, supported by prior reconnaissance, in infiltration attempts that ended up being aborted by drones and fire defensive, leaving such an absurd image (and repeated) as revealing: many horses survived, but the soldiers did not, and the Russian army confirmed that it was willing to resort to any available resources to sustain its offensive. The drone and the impossible arsenal. Now, the scene What finally condensed this drift came several weeks later, when a Ukrainian drone sneaked through the destroyed roof of a hidden warehouse, several kilometers from the line of contact, with the usual expectation of finding ammunition, fuel or military vehicles. What happened gives an idea of ​​these four years of slow war that has worn down both sides. Instead of artillery and technology to advance, the camera showed something that looked like something out of a rural garage: aging civilian cars, motorcycles from another era, and saddled horses, an “arsenal” as unexpected as it is eloquent of the state of the war in many areas. The message. “We didn’t expect to see this. It was really unusual,” said the drone pilot. to the Insider mediumspeaking on condition that he only be identified by his callsign “Cosmos.” “We were hoping to find some armored vehicles,” he added. He video It went viral because it summarized in seconds the real state of Russian logistics, but also because it demonstrated that those animals were not an isolated anecdote, but part of a system that already uses cheap and expendable media to move and attack under the constant threat of drones. Russia and the logic of sacrifice. For the Ukrainian commanders, this discovery is neither trivial nor a simple curiosity, but rather proof of a way of waging war based on accepting massive losses of material and personnel, replacing armored by civilian cars and horses because they are easier to replace. This logic, which prioritizes the attrition of the enemy, even if the cost is enormous, explains why Moscow continues to advance slowly, launching assaults with many times obsolete or improvised in regions such as Donbas, even when the monthly casualty figures, according to NATOreach levels that are difficult to sustain. If you will, the drone that expected to find missiles and found animals ended up portraying, better than any report, a war that moves backwards while consuming everything at hand.

The Logitech MX Master 4 adds the haptic response to its arsenal

by

If there is a mouse that has managed to position yourself as a reference in this segment, that is the Logitech MX Master. This peripheral manufacturer found the perfect formula in a device that managed to combine ergonomics and benefits almost impeccably already in its first version, launched ten years ago. And we say “almost” because in Logitech it was launching successive somewhat improved versions. He Logitech MX Master 2S (2017) improved the sensor resolution up to 4,000 DPI. Then they would arrive MX Master 3 (2019) with some changes in buttons and wheel, and the MX MASTER 3S (2022), with 8,000 dpi sensor and quieter clicks. The design, with tiny differences, never changed. That inheritance also remains in the new Logitech MX Master 4the last iteration of this mouse that maintains that format, which is slightly more bulky somewhat heavier (150 g compared to 141 of its predecessor) but above all has a unique novelty. An haptic sensor that wants to give a lot of play It is an haptic engine located in the area where the thumb reposes – we remember, this is a mouse for right -handed. Thanks to this “haptic panel” we will notice that type of response if for example we click that area, which will also launch a small on -screen tool “ACTIONS RING” (“Ring of Actions”). That is the “Ring of Actions” that we will see on screen when “click” on the haptic sensor with the thumb. We can associate any shortcut to that Actions ringsand we can even explore complex shortcuts consistent in a chain of actions. To use these options, yes, we will have to make the most of the company’s own software, called Logi Options Plus. It is also possible to receive a haptic response when certain types of simple actions are detected. For example, The sensor can vibrate slightly if we pass from one window to anotherwhich will help us realize more quickly where the mouse pointer or cursor is. That is the fundamental difference of a mouse that It is essence an MX Master 3s with that new haptic sensor. There are some small changes, such as the fact that the receiver included in the Windows model is USB-C and not USB-A. In everything else it is practically identical to its predecessor, and we retain both the resolution of 8,000 DPI and the Magspeed wheel – disappointments of up to 1,000 lines per second – and the buttons and the rest of the design elements. As in the whole family, this is a perfect mouse for large users and those who like the hand to rest on the mouse. If you are looking for a mouse of guarantees, it is certainly a fantastic product, but if you already had a previous model it is likely that the update does not make so much sense. The good news, yes, is that the price has not risen. In fact it has dropped slightly. Thus, the new Logitech MX Master 4 It is available for 129.99 euroswhen the launch price of its predecessor was 135 euros. Good news for potential buyers. I keep enduring With my MX Master of First Generationwhich certainly says a lot about the durability of the product. In Xataka | In the time of Windows 95, there was a trick so that everything was faster: move the mouse

Israel is obsessed with Iran’s nuclear bomb project. What hides is your own unofficial atomic arsenal

by

With the conflict of the Middle East there is a paradox. Israel has been saying that Iran is about to Have nuclear weaponssomething that nobody is certain that it is so, at least not in its entirety. In fact, it is one of the most repeated issues these days how far the Iranian “nuclear theme” reaches. And yet, no one asks the question in reverse. What happens to Israel’s nuclear program? Iran’s “bombs”. It We count yesterday. Despite the alarms on by Netanyahu for more than a decade (like that famous bomb cart that showed in the UN in 2012), there are no conclusive tests that Iran has made the decision to manufacture a nuclear weapon. While the country has enriched uranium to nearby levels to the military And it has accumulated reservations that, technically, could serve to produce several bombs with greater purification, both US intelligence services and the International Atomic Energy Agency agree that It has not been detected An active weapon program. Iran has become A “threshold state”with the ability to arm himself if he decided, but without evidence of crossed that threshold. Single side. And while Israel displays All your military force To dismantle what he considers an existential threat (Iran’s nuclear program), he does so carrying his own atomic arsenal, no officially recognized But increasingly evident. The war that Israel has undertaken against Tehran seeks to destroy Key facilities That, according to international experts, they could provide Iran that atomic bomb in a matter of months. However, in a gesture of paradoxical silence, Israel has never confirmed or denied the existence of its own nuclear program. At the diplomatic level, it maintains an ambiguous formula: ensures that it will not be the first country to “introduce” nuclear weapons in the Middle East. That phrase, deliberately inaccurate, allows you to preserve a discourse of prudence while preserving what most analysts consider a consolidated and growing atomic capacity. Hidden but feared. In fact, the play is doubly winner. Had the New York Times that the most conservative calculations attribute to Israel a minimum of 90 Nuclear Ojivas lists to be deployed, with sufficient fistening material reserves to manufacture hundreds more. Although its arsenal is the second smallest of the nine countries recognized informally as nuclear powers, Just ahead North Korea, its delivery capacity It is advanced: Balistic missiles, modified and submarine combat aircraft endowed with missiles with nuclear capacity constitute a complete deterrence triad. Israel’s absence in the Nuclear Non -Proliferation Treaty (which is also not part of Indian, Pakistan or North Korea) reinforces the legal exceptionality of your situation. The treaty, in force since 1970only recognizes the five nations that detonated atomic weapons before 1967: United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom. Any other country that signed should, in theorygive up this armament. Israel has avoided that commitment, thus maintaining a strategic freedom that allows it to operate outside international inspections or explicit limitations. Dimona’s secret. And here comes one of the keys to the heart. The heart of the Israeli nuclear program beats in the Néguev desert, at the facilities of Dimona. Founded in 1958 With French help, this installation was Inspection object Americans during the 1960s, but since then it has remained Out of reach of any international monitoring. Broarship intelligence documents They revealed Already in 1960 that the complex included a plant of Plutonium reprocessingwhich implied a military objective. By 1967, Israel had managed to develop nuclear explosives And in 1973, during the Yom Kipur WarThe United States already assumed with certainty that the country He had atomic bombs. Throughout the decades, various satellite images have documented significant extensions In Dimonaand some Recent reports They indicate that Israel could even be building a new reactor to increase its plutonium production capacity, the material indispensable for both nuclear weapons and certain peaceful uses. Silent deterrence. Unlike dozens of countries that are accepted to the nuclear umbrella From the United States for its defense, Israel has opted for its own atomic shield. This strategic independence suggests that Israel not only has nuclear weapons, but is willing to use them As a last resort If its existence is compromised. Although you have never used these weapons in combat, There are reports which point to their preparation during the wars of 1967 and 1973. It is also suspected that Israel participated in Secret nuclear trialsas the famous incident of the American satellite Watches in 1979which detected a double light explosion near the Indian Ocean. Although the nation denied its involvement, newspapers of President Jimmy Carter recorded the Strong suspicion that Israel and South Africa collaborated in that clandestine test. Be that as it may, those events still are not confirmed, although the most relevant documents continue to classified, which feeds suspicions. The strategic logic. In short, and despite Your official opacitythe existence of Israeli nuclear arsenal seems tacitly recognized for its exclusion of otherwise protection mechanisms. The fact that it is not part of the American deterrence is interpreted by experts such as the clearest nonverbal confirmation of its independent atomic capacity. In the eyes of the Israeli government, this decision responds to A philosophy deeply rooted: no one but Israel can and should guarantee their survival. I remembered the Times that this logic, heiress of foundational trauma From the Holocaust, it was explicitly expressed By Ernst David Bergmann, president of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission, stating that the atomic bomb was the only guarantee that “we will never be taken as lambs to the slaughterhouse.” No doubt, that principle continues to guide Israeli nuclear doctrine: maintain a sufficiently ambiguous capacity not to cause international reactions, but powerful enough to deter any real aggression.

Two workers from Elon Musk in Doge agreed to a private network. The US keeps the secrets of your nuclear arsenal there

by

In February, one of the most rocambolesque stories was known around Doge, the Government Efficiency Department led by Elon Musk to essence, cut where he can in the administration of the United States Government. Apparently, they fired 350 officials who had to Readmit rapidly. The reason: they were the specialists in the assembly of nuclear eyelets. The story has now taken a more dangerous turn. The access they should never have. I told it a few hours ago exclusively NPR through confidential information access. Apparently, it was revealed that two young employees of that government efficiency department (Doge) created under the orders of Elon Musk, obtained accounts in classified networks With nuclear information highly sensitive. What’s doubt, the news has unleashed a political storm and national security in the United States. Luke Farritor, a former 23 -year -old Spacex fellow, and Adam Ramada, a Angel Investor Without previous experience in armament or intelligence, they appeared for at least two weeks in the directories of the reserved systems of the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) and the Department of Defense, according to sources with direct access to the networks. From denial to confirmation. The media counted that, although the energy department first denied any link, later admitted that the accounts Yes they were createdalthough they insisted that never They were activated nor used. So, the medium NPR remembers that the mere existence of these accounts, in maximum security environments that normally require a “Q” accreditation (The highest level of authorization of the DOE), has aroused alarm among experts, who interpret it as a sign of the growing and worrying doge penetration in critical areas of the state apparatus. All nuclear information. To understand the importance of the network to which they have had access, let’s think that the systems accessed by these employees are not mere confidential data repositories: these are networks that store and transmit plans for nuclear weapons design, special materials for their manufacture and strategic communications between laboratories, production centers and the pentagon. The first one, the NNSA Enterprise Secure Networkserves to share Restricted data between key actors of nuclear arsenal. The second, Siprnetallows the flow of information classified between the Department of Energy and Defense, including operations that could compromise national security if they were disclosed. Although it appears in the access directories does not equals to directly see classified documents (by the policy of “Need To Know”), experts Consulted by NPR They emphasize that it is the technical “head” that could provide future applications or expand the scope of influence within those platforms. Shadows on transparency. Plus: the incident adds to a series of controversial episodes starred By Doge In other federal agencies. As we count in February, a purge in the NSA directed by Doge (reviring only partially after public pressure) caused the dismissal of dozens of nuclear area employees. Shortly after, an informant denounced that Doge members had accessed internal systems of the National Board of Labor Relations (NLRB), requesting that They will not register their activities and deactivating monitoring tools, in addition to delete access traces. Not just that. One of the income attempts was made from an IP address located in Russia Using credentials created by Doge, which unleashed new suspicions and ignited cybersecurity alerts in several sectors of the government. These movements, added to the recent scandal by the use of signal application On the part of the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to discuss sensitive military operations, they delineate a dangerous informality pattern and reckless management of critical information of the nation. The Doge experiment. Thus, the very existence of Doge, an entity born to “modernize the State” under the tutelage of Musk, begins to be questioned even between related sectorsgiven its opaque growth and the lack of accountability. His model (which combines entrepreneurs, technologists and actors outside the public administration) was sold as a response to the traditional bureaucracy, but it is generating fissures in institutional security and control systems. The case of Farritor and Ramadapeople without experience in intelligence or defense, shows the risks of introducing private operators in the ultrasecreta spheres of the State without proper safeguards. While the Department of Energy avoids giving explanations about why these accounts were created, analysts such as Hans Kristensen, of the Nuclear Information Projectthey warn that even unlacified budgets require delicate technical referencesand that any “ajar door” can have unpredictable consequences. A parallel state. The truth is that, far from being an isolated incident, Doge insertion into nuclear networks reveals a broader and more dangerous trend: the emergence of a administrative power not electedwith access to privileged information, but without clear legal mandate or sufficient democratic supervision. If you want also, it implies that the logic of “technocratic” access overlaps institutional logic, and in that scenario the state becomes a testing ground for Operators with own agendas. The consequences of this reconfiguration are still in development (even overlaps Musk’s output), but the scandal leaves a warning meridianly clear: when the obsession with efficiency eliminates controls, which is gained at speed can cost very expensive, at least, In security.

The company wants the name of the Pokémon filter and goes with all its legal arsenal

by

On the video game industry board, few pieces move as forceful as those of Nintendo when it comes to protecting what you consider. This time, the Japanese firm responsible for icons such as Mario, Zelda and Pikachu has launched a legal operation of surgical precision. Its objective is not a competitor, but an anonymous user of discord, indicated for having filtered Pokémon confidential content last summer. The episode of “Teraleak”. Baptized by the community as “Teraleak”, the incident meant one of the greatest content leaks in the saga in recent years. We do not talk only about loose data or minor details: among the filtered files there were preliminary versions of titles in developing and unpublished conceptual art, all related to the Pokémon franchise. An extremely sensitive material that, once outside, spread as a gunpowder in an environment where virality is the norm. The Nintendo Judicial Movement. According to documents published by Polygonon April 18, Nintendo submitted a citation request before the Federal Court of the Northern District of California. In it, he requires Discord to provide the user’s personal data identified as “Gamefreakout”: full name, physical address, telephone number and email address. The legal documentation also includes a capture of the “Freakleak” server, where that user shared the file in question. According to the company, after that initial publication there was a rapid diffusion of the content, although Discord received multiple DMCA applications for withdrawal. The damage was already done. A known strategy, a clear message. It is not the first time that Nintendo resorts to the courts to defend their intellectual property. In recent years He has managed to close portals like Romuniverse and Loveroms or Loveretro; And, in 2024, reached an extrajudicial agreement of 2.4 million dollars which forced the developers of emulators Yuzu and Citra to cease their activity. Github also withdrew 8 535 forks related to Yuzu. Each of those movements has left a trail: immediate closures, millionaire compensation and a warning that now resonates with renewed force. Filtering Nintendo material is not just risky: it is legally dangerous. Game Freak, the true target of the attack. Paradoxically, the gap did not open in Nintendo systems, but in those of Game Freak, the Japanese study responsible for the development of Pokémon games. As they recognized in a statementfiltration was the result of unauthorized access that left more than 2,600 personal records exposed. Game Freak claims to have rebuilt the affected and reinforced server its security measures, although the episode showed the fragility of certain infrastructure in the middle of 2024. The immediate future: And now what? The next play depends on the court. If he grants the citation and discord cooperates, Nintendo will be in a position to act with names and surnames. From there, the legal path could include different types of demands, although there is still no concrete information about the steps to follow by the company. For the user after “Gamefreakout”, anonymity could have the days counted. An industry on alert. What is at stake is not only an identity, but a precedent. Nintendo, with its relentless history, re -marks the path that other giants in the sector could follow. At a time when leaks are gestated and spread on community servers and social networks, the question is not whether it will happen again, but how those who have something to lose will answer.

Delapza sweeps any prejudice with a Z9GT that is a technological arsenal

by

Milan Bulle in April. The Inter Milan defends its advantage in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in San Siro. Art and architecture are cited in the city of fashion with the Milano Design Week. It is no accident that in this party of design and visual language byd has chosen the month of April and the city of Milan to present a den of electric cars and plug -in hybrid premium. What is a denza and why Byd bets on her? What can we expect from the company? Byd’s situation before he arrives denies There was a day when things happened calmly, they cooked over low heat. Little by little, little by little. But, without realizing it, we have gotten into a spiral that seems to never stop. Take strength and we turn inside. When we entered the washing machine’s delicate clothing program there was no reversal. Today we are the shoes that hit the drum at the pace of centrifugate. We analyze contexts and situations demanding an immediacy that does not end up connecting well with the processes that irremediably require another rhythm. Information saturation makes us believe that everything It should happen faster of what happens. The arrival of Chinese companies to the European car market is one of them. Except mg, the truth is that most are a small drop of water As far as sales volume is concerned. But, little by little, sales are foreseeable. That fine and almost imperceptible rain becomes a true storm. Or not. It may be subsided and everything is as it is or, in a medium term, it rains with constancy but with a contained force. It is something that will only say time. What is palpable is that Chinese companies are doing everything possible to get a hole. Kia and Hyundai They also entered the European market taking advantage of the cracks of the low range. Today they are Third manufacturer worldwidea power in the United States and cars that begin to Broken the 100,000 euros with your fingers. Chinese brands arrive in another context. We are at a turning point in the automobile industry in Europe and who knows if the commercial war opened by the United States does not open the doors to a paradigm shift. Because the products of all kinds rise in price, citizens have less money in their pocket and Chinese brands strive between low ranges but also get their own hole in a mid -range in which they have cars to offer with less price and a greater equipment than European vehicles. Manufacturers cars that also have more difficulties in reducing their prices and playing with profit margins. It is the process in which Byd is located. The Chinese company It has been in Spain since 2023 And his registrations have not been especially good. But given the lack of immediate results, they have begun to deploy their huge portfolio. Among the electric their cheapest models have begun to take traction. Among the plug -in, their Byd Seal U DM-I It has consolidated in the market given its wide equipment. And to continue tightening, Byd brings denies to Europe. What is denza We should not expect huge denza sales. But it is that the task of this new brand that Byd brings to Europe is another. Its objective is not to sell in large quantities, is to show potential clients of what the company is capable of, to propose how far they are able to arrive. It is a classic strategy in the automobile market. Most automotive groups have (with greater or lesser success) their Premium brands. Aware that they will not make a great volume, they invest in them because they improve their brand image. They project their halo of exclusivity on the most earthly companies. The Volkswagen Group can be one of the most segmented companies to its brands, with Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen fighting by volume but with the latter located slightly above the other generalists. Audi as a premium and Porsche brand as a luxury company. Byd is guaranteed with a denza attract looks. Not only will they “Chinese electric cars” are the same as their offer have a electric or plug -in hybrid of more than 700 hp. And that are major words. “It is a brand that has always had its roots in the European design in particular, and we are sure that European clients will find inspiration on how to combine that influence,” says Stella Li, vice president of Byd. These roots are explained because the company was born as the result of a Collaboration with Mercedes in 2010. After years without finding results, the Germans left and the brand was exclusively for the Chinese company. Today is part of an automotive group with 120,000 engineers and a clear European influence that is felt in its design for which They have hired Wolfgang EggerGerman designer of, among others, the precious Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione. He will be positioned, therefore, as the maximum expression of what the company is capable of offering in Europe. To do this, its models use the E3 Platform, its most advanced multienergy platform which will allow them to fully enter the market for electric cars and plug -in hybrids. Launched byd as a company that points to the electric one that subsequently, He added plug -in hybrid optionsDenza does not have to play with that position and will arrive directly as a bicephal company, with two types of propulsion for the same car. The use of this platform also allows you to take advantage of technical capabilities that are not available in the rest of the Chinese company offer. We will see your system for the first time body movement control of the vehicle or the possibility of having three electric motors in the same car (one striker and two rear), regardless of If it is electric or plug -in hybrid with independent traction and direction capacity. All this will allow … Read more
