Operation Hoodwink

Yes, the setting is virtual and imaginary and consider the name of the title, there is the chance that deception is part of this setting. So as my slumber ideas gave grip to this setting. Let me reveal part of the plot. 

There is a young man walking the street of X (near a racecourse) he is having a grand day, he will see his girlfriend soon. So as he is walking , he cannot believe his eyes. Is that Vin Diesel? And Vin gestures him over. “Hi, what is your name?” The man is in disbelieve and answers “Mario”. Vin answers “Great Mario, he have a little problem here, we need a few extra man here Can you help us out? It takes about 2-3 hours and you don’t have to do any acting. Merely jump away from a car speeding at you from in that shop. Can you do that?” There is a C-note in it for you and time on the big screen. In the mean time the coffee kart is there” he points at a barista kart. “Whatever you are having they should have it and you can drink as much as you like. There are even some pastries there. You game?” Mario frantically nodded his head in a yes gesture. He went to the coffee kart ordered an espresso. The Barista asked if he wanted normal, 3 shots or 5. He grinned at the idea of 5 espresso’s. “Five please, oh can I have one of these cannoli’s?” The barrister complied and two minutes later he was sitting in a cast chair with a large espresso and a cannoli. He was drinking his espresso feline mighty fine. About 10 minutes later Vin came back in the picture. “OK, we are running late, so you have 10 minutes. In 5 minutes we take you to the shop and we rehearse a few things, we need to get this right as we only have one take for this.” Mario nodded “OK, whatever you want Mr. Diesel” Vin replied “Vin please, Mr. Diesel is my father. So drink your espresso and eat your cannoli. Ill be back.” And Vin Diesel walked away. He came back 5 minutes later. “OK, lets go over this. It’s a little psychedelic as it is part of that movie. So in we go” and they walked into the shop. He then walked into the door in the back and it was a completely white room filled with rows of White plastic foam domino stones, 4 rows all having their own color. “So you will be standing here. And we will be filming you from that corner, where the little window is. You jump up to that bar, pointing to a bar in the wall. Can you make that jump?” Mario tried, it was easy. “If you can pull yourself up, that is fine, make it look good. That is all you have to do. The car will come through the wall so stand against that wall the bar is above you. Stand there for a moment.” Vin talked in his earpiece. “What? OK.” He signaled Mario. “Can you take one step forward?” Mario stepped forward half a step, looking upwards to the bar. “Are we good?” He gave a thumb upwards to Mario. “Hold on” Vin said. “Mario, try to jump to the bar now” It was easy. And Vin talked into his earpiece again “Did you get that? What? OK? Mario, can you do this jump a few more times so we have actual footage and if you miss the point later, we have something to work with.” Mario jumped half a dozen times more. And Vin Diesel looked pleased. “So now we check the light” they tested the light a few more times. It was OK. “So now the hard part. When you hear a noise, it will be a car going through the front window, at that point you have a mere 2 seconds to jump to the bar. You good?” Mario nodded. He never considered that he would be a Hollywood extra some day. “OK, I am going towards the front and get things rolling, m do you have any questions?” Mario shook his head in a no, it seemed clear as water to him. “OK! Excellent. The take starts in a few minutes and it should be over 30 seconds later. Don’t touch these domino’s stay there and focus on the light, when it goes green it starts and 3 seconds later I go through the shop. After that you have a mere 2 seconds, so do not hesitate to jump. Just focus on the light.” Mario nodded “Im ready” “I’m sure you are, your doing great” and with that Vin walked away closing the door behind him. Sure enough 2 minutes later the green light lit up and Mario got ready and three seconds later as stated he heard the car and he jumped. The car came through the wall, Mario was safely hanging on the bar. The car went through the room and the dominos went everywhere and Mario dropped to the floor. He saw the hole in the wall and he looked at where the car went. It went though the second wall and he was looking some kind of drone repair shop. The foam dominos were melting away and the bar had retracted into the wall. In seconds security jumped on him telling him to go to the floor. And Mario was more confused then ever before.

The stage is set and the story continues. Vin Diesel was a lookalike, the film crew had vanished and the car had no driver. Mario was in deep shit. It was a setting where the family of Mario had to entertain favors and the politicians were eager to help. It was a hoodwink to flush out the crooked politicians and to show where the FBI and CIA could see where the problem lies. Not all settings are domestic and Operation Hoodwink was called to figure out which politician and optionally which judge was on the records of Organized Crime. And as America was bleeding funds they decided to do something about it. 

A simple setting and as I am flooded with 3 projects any Canadian film maker that sees light in this. Feel free to use this idea. Have a great day and it is time for me to look deeper at at my next project (working on it) and as it mostly plays in New Orleans, I need to rely on Google Maps (I have never been to New Orleans). Anyway, that is it for me for today.

Adjustments

We all have them, we all make them, throughout our lives, throughout our careers and I am no different. For me two are essential, one out of my control, one less so. So as I have written 3,650 articles I have adjusted myself a few times. I do not hold ‘evidence’ in possession. Like you I am largely depending on the media giving us the truth, preferably presenting the news without referring to it as ‘entertainment’, I reckon they do this to make themselves less liable and hide behind their own (can I call this) stupidity. Over the decades (and 3650 articles) I have grown a certain healthy dislike to Microsoft. They largely did this to themselves, they lack innovation, they employ whatever spin engine they can get a hold of and that is merely the beginning. I had a few encounters with them (largely professionally) and from that a certain view was grown. But I too have to adjust myself. In gaming my first encounter with Microsoft was 1985 (or there about). I had just bought my Commodore 64 (with 1541 disk drive) and it set me back $1,500 which was a lot of money in 1985. One of the first things I bought was the Flight Simulator 2 for $149. It came with a massive manual and 4 maps and one 360KB floppy.

This is what I saw in the first instance (I had no screenshot of Chicago) and it was amazing. A almost setting of high tech fly by wire on a CBM64 and Microsoft made it possible for only $149. Now, of course my view is adjusted (a lot) and it does not have the pull and appeal it had in 1985. But the ‘magic’ was there. And Microsoft didn’t stop there. Almost a week ago I saw (at https://youtube.com/shorts/Aw22TS573Jo?si=NrKuT1pzmLrQm3OQ), I actually saw another landing but the gist of it is clear. They came a long way from 1985 and at present (as I see it) the difference between real life and the FS2024 is close to zero. Yes you can see certain ‘irregularities’ when getting over the houses around LAX, but I was just amazed how close to real it was. 

Now, I get that the opinion of a real pilot and a real fan of flight simulators might have an opinion that is different from me, but I am not a pilot and I reckon that my opinion does not carry any weight (it really does not), but when you consider that this program is now $129 you get 40 years of evolution and pay $20 less. And I say that this is almost as good as it gets (flying for real might be better). 

This is one Microsoft actually got right and that needs to be said too. OK, I get that some will say that the Microsoft tally system (Excel) is a good product as well, I do not deny this, I merely think that too many think it is the bees knees and that is a slight exaggeration.

But there is no denying that the FS2024 is for a lack of better terms the Apex predator of Flight simulators. There is no requirement to adjust my views here. They got that right and it shows from the very first moment that this product is shown. So whilst the actual Microsoft haters will call this a rubbish version. I am not one of them. I saw several YouTube videos and the setting is clear. There is no competition against the FS2024. I reckon that the pentagon will not be able to throw any simulator our way (optionally merely with military vehicles, know as jets) to show that they are better then whatever Microsoft has to offer, they will fail. 

I am not a simulator fan, as far as I know I never was any good at it, but that doesn’t matter. The options we see now outstrips whatever they had in 1985 and as far as I could tell, it is mere millimeters from the actual experience of flying, some reporter dude named Clark Kent says I am making over the top statements, but this is where I stand and in light of what is about to come I had the cleanse the pallet. So have a great day as I am now crossing into Thursday, 3 hours behind Wellington.

A new low

Yup and it is not a bad thing, but a setting of happy happy joy joy. I learned a few hours ago that Saudi Arabia (of all places) was mentioned (at https://renewablesnow.com/news/saudi-arabia-claims-record-low-wind-cost-in-4-5-gw-renewables-awards-1283966/) with ‘Saudi Arabia claims record-low wind cost in 4.5 GW renewables awards’ not the Netherlands, or Sweden (where stormy winds are king) it is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is heralded as the new low in wind power. I have to admit that it took me by surprise. The mention of “a record-low global cost for wind power generation at USD 13.38 (EUR 11.49) per MWh” for the people in Saudi Arabia. That makes a setting of €0.01149 per kWh (if I calculated that correctly) is is one way to put down the living expenses of people all over the planet and when you consider that in Europe (EU) the price of electricity is approximately €0.1899 we can assume that even at 50% the electricity firms will still make a profit. As I see it, good news for all the people in Europe (and a few more places beyond that) and I never expected that the land of oil would set the charge of renewables, not in my lifetime. So we should see the joy on what Saudi Arabia achieved here. We are given “The government-owned entity, which is responsible for procuring electricity from independent power producers (IPPs), said on Monday that the initiative is part of the sixth phase of the National Renewable Energy Programme, supervised by the Ministry of Energy. The contracted projects are spread across four provinces in the Kingdom and represent a combined investment of more than SAR 9 billion (USD 2.4bn/EUR 2.06bn)” as well as “The wind project, the 1.5-GW Dawadmi in Riyadh Province, has achieved the lowest leveled cost of electricity (LCOE) for wind power generation so far, according to the statement.” So a hip hip and a hurray for the people who made that happen. Because that is the kind of achievement that could help over a billion people getting their expenses down and the setting that we might see a 50% less costs on energy is a new threshold for anyone requiring power. The article also shows a table of the 5 places where this is happening and how much is being generated. As I see it, the wind-farms currently being created might see a revisit from new people with additional insights in this strength of the energy woods and I reckon we will see a lot more additions in a few places soon enough drowning costs for people all over the world.

I feel giddy at this point. It is not often that you see an impressive downing of the cost of living, but this is definitely one we all should applaud.

Have a great day today.

What happens when someone expands

That is the setting and Arab News gives us ‘How Greece and Saudi Arabia are redrawing the map of power’ (at https://arab.news/ytgve). This is not news for me, I saw this happens at least twice before and Greece is as good a place as any for the STC to expand as an second step beyond the few others and as they grow the European market becomes a reality. We are given “The relationship between Greece and Saudi Arabia, long anchored in commerce and maritime exchange, is rapidly evolving into a strategic alliance that spans energy, investment, technology and defense”, as well as “Digital infrastructure is emerging as the new trade route. The East to Med Data Corridor — a joint venture between Greece’s telecom operators and Saudi Arabia’s STC — will connect Gulf data hubs to European markets through undersea cables. Due for completion in 2026, it complements Saudi investments in cloud infrastructure and Greece’s ambition to serve as the EU’s digital bridge. When operational, it will transform geography into bandwidth, reviving the ancient logic of the Aegean and the Red Sea as conduits of exchange.” I initially (around 2020) thought that this would be done through Egypt and then Spain, and that it is now seemingly through Greece makes perfect sense and it won’t hurt the Greek economy one bit and mike make them renowned business partners all over Europe. And whilst we are given “Security cooperation has deepened alongside it. Since 2021, Greek air defense units have been stationed in Saudi Arabia to help protect critical energy facilities from aerial threats — an unprecedented deployment that underscores mutual trust. Athens now views Gulf stability as part of Europe’s own security; Riyadh sees Greece as a dependable partner with NATO experience and Mediterranean reach.” We need to see that the finance industry also benefits with “Greek finance is reinforcing this momentum. Eurobank, the National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank have expanded trade finance and advisory services for Greek and Saudi firms in energy, transport and technology. Their involvement adds institutional depth, translating political goodwill into bankable projects.” I have to admit that I am in the dark as to how that Greek finance horse is mounting up to be, but I reckon that if it fits the Saudi setting it must be decently good.

As we are handed the setting of “For Riyadh, partnership with an EU and NATO member provides credibility and access to Europe’s energy and technology debates. For Athens, alignment with Saudi Arabia amplifies its influence in a region where Europe’s energy and digital future are being decided. The Strategic Cooperation Council formalizes what business leaders had already recognized: the Greek-Saudi axis is not transactional but structural — a long-term bet on shared diversification and stability. The logic is clear. Greek forces helping defend Saudi energy infrastructure serve European as well as Saudi interests. The cables and inter-connectors binding the two nations reinforce both sovereignties. In an age of fractured supply chains, energy transition and digital rivalry, Athens and Riyadh are betting on connectivity as power.” And I do set this piece of writing to the views of Dr. John Sfakianakis, who is Chief Economist and Head of Economic Research at the Gulf Research Center as it was (as I see it) well written and for me that is shown with how easily and clearly it was written. Most economic pieces become a jumble of incomprehensible words after the first line starting with “Good morning”, this is clearly my problem as I lack an economic degree, but the expansion of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Telecom Company (STC) was bound to grow as per 2018, it made perfect sense and it makes even more sense now, especially with the administration that America is showing to have. Europe will be happy to find a non-American partner to start with and Greece is accepted as an EU partner and a NATO partner, so I expect a lot more to happen, especially as Saudi Telecom under 5G is over 700% faster than what America has to offer, as such the benefit for EU telecom corporations is easily seen, the picture below shows that benefit (an image from 2020). And this will foster a lot of benefits in the Telecom and media settings under 5G as plenty of corporations will see, the fact that the Saudi setting is over 300% faster then what the UK or German speeds have is just icing on the cake for the European companies in the equation.

Saudi Arabia is expanding and Europe is about to see the benefits from this setting. It might not be an entirely accurate setting, but it is what I see and I reckon that this will benefit China to some degree as well as the future of expanded media is hindering the America spin systems. For China it implies a two for one deal as this expands the BRICS needs in several directions. I personally see Saudi Arabia as sitting on the fence as a stage that benefit Saudi Arabia more than anything, it stops American blunt media streaks from going after them and it allows Saudi Arabia to get a foot in the door with Europe. I might be wrong here, but that is how I saw that news last May. With Saudi Arabia sitting on the fence the American media channels are seemingly in a holding pattern, which is beneficial to this setting.

So have a great day and it is about time I fly towards the city this morning (it is achieved by taking the train and drinking a red bull for breakfast) I wonder if my wings are as impressive as the ones Tom Ellis had in Lucifer. Does that make me a fashion bitch? Still yesterday breakfast in Vancouver, so I am a day ahead from them for now.

Tourism in the toilet

I have probably never seen any country throw his tourism industry in the toilet before like America has. Every country has its own methods and settings but 5 hours ago Canadian and the rest of the world got a rude awakening as to how this goes. CBC’s own Sophia Harris gives us in two broadcast the setting on how Canadians are for overthrown into the ‘dislike America’ setting. And the new rule is taking part this Friday. As of Friday every Canadian traveling to the US will have to supply their biometrics to America and it is given to us in “The United States is expanding its facial biometrics program with the goal of collecting images of non-U.S. citizens at entry and exit points at all airports, seaports and land borders”, as I see it, this will down Tourism a further 10%-15% and it is not in a nonchalant notion, “Just before getting on the plane, he says two uniformed officers approached him on the boarding ramp (Jetway), and one took his photo. “I was aghast. I felt ambushed,” said Shepell, a noted Canadian psychologist. He says the men never explained who they were or why he was photographed.” There is a found stretch coming from America (me quoting Hamlet). As we are given “CBP is expanding the program with the goal of collecting images of departing passengers at all international U.S. airports. The agency also plans to take photos of travelers when they enter and exit the country at all sea ports, and in vehicle lanes at land borders. CBP told CBC News it expects to have facial biometric technology fully in place at land borders sometime next year. Full implementation at sea ports and airports is expected within the next three to five years.” I reckon that this is data related and that is how America just lost a whole heap of tourists, because this makes (as speculated by some) Russia just a little more customer friendly. With the added “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a new rule on Friday that makes it mandatory for non-U.S. citizens, including Canadians, to take part in its facial biometrics program. The regulation is set to take effect on Dec. 26 — even though full implementation of the program could take years. According to the rule, photos taken of foreign travelers will remain on a DHS database for up to 75 years.” As I personally see it, having my records somewhere is not what I fear, what I fear is American opportunity selling it to every tech boss in the world and them having a go at my details. And I can’t wait to report on how the DHS accidentally got hacked and our details are now with most of the cyber criminals in America and beyond. It is merely a waiting process, this is a ticking time bomb that will go boom in the night mark my words, And this all is something we were given by the same reporter a week ago with 

‘Canadian snowbirds fingerprinted and photographed at U.S. border as part of new requirement’ on October 19th. As I see it, it shows that America had long standing interests in who is in their country “Several Canadian snowbirds reported they were fingerprinted and photographed at the U.S. border this month when registering for their winter stay, which U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told CBC News is now standard procedure. 

Jacquie and Steve Ree of Ladysmith, B.C., arrived at the Peace Arch Border Crossing between Surrey, B.C., and Blaine, Wash., on Oct. 9.” The part that gets me is that they need these records on all the Canadian snowbirds as well. These people tend to have locations in America, they have their place and that was making them feel fine. I reckon that they might pick up and transfer to Australia or New Zealand in that same setting as they can get a better deal in these places and as I see it there are express ways to rely on this setting. No mater how we see it, America just scuttled their own tourism boat for the foreseeable future. We might not have liked who ran that place, but now we have seemingly valid concerns on how we are processed in America. I wonder how this is handled in the long run. A setting that DHS never considered is that America had in the past 72.39 million international tourists on an annual setting. There is a decent chance that this number goes down by a bit, but even if it decreases to 39 million, that implies that these 39 million biometric scans will occupy at least one data centre especially as it requires holding for 75 years. And these people will wonder what happens to these details now. 

Yup, I reckon that money spend on the Epic Universe was a little over enthusiastic at present, or at least its crown management issues are now decently solved by the Department of Homeland Security. So there is that.

Have a great day, and to the Snowbirds of Canada I say, come to Australia, we welcome you (New Zealand too) they have Auckland with temperatures of Auckland and Northland often reaching 28–30°C during their summer (December-February).

The view over a distance

That is what I see, at a distance my old country (the Netherlands) is setting a new premise of pressure. In the BBC article (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn40y9yxkgvo) we are given ‘Netherlands’ renewables drive putting pressure on its power grid’ and that is fine. For me (my intake) is that the setting is that when there is no renewable energy, they will have to resort to the old setting (like gas or oil) and there is ample reason for this. Yet we are given “In a Dutch government TV campaign called “Flip the Switch” an actress warns viewers about their electricity usage. “When we all use electricity at the same time, our power grid gets overloaded,” she says. “This can cause malfunctions. So, use as little electricity as possible between four and nine.”” A setting we comprehend, the other option is that we are ‘handed’ the setting of “Renewable energy prices in the Netherlands are not a separate category but are included in the overall electricity price, which currently averages around €0.33 per kWh” so we could end the setting that renewable energy above a certain usage is delivered at €0.99 per kWh, the rest can either adhere to the additional prices or accept that oil is the other party in the mix (at €0.33 per kWh), a simple solution for the Dutch to increase what they have going in renewable settings. And there is no blame on the Dutch admittedly we are given “it leads the way in Europe for the number of solar panels per person. In fact, more than one third of Dutch homes have solar panels fitted.

The country is also aiming for offshore wind farms to be its biggest source of energy by 2030.” And that is a time pressured setting and the Dutch political systems know this. There is no averting your eyes from the needs and the Dutch know this too well. The other nations face a similar setting, the Dutch were however a lot more hands on into finding these options and they have 18 million people in that nation, it is almost as much as the Australian population (27 million) but the area differences is that the Netherlands is only 0.54% of Australia, setting the premise that the Netherlands has the population pressure of Sydney on a national foundation, they needed a renewable energy policy in place. No one denies that. But the needs are not matching the availability. As such my solution at a premium (which might achieve the same setting) or accept that oil isn’t a thing of the past yet and perhaps in 2030 when there are the actual additional kWh available it will be possible and at that point the Dutch are still the first by a mile over all other European nations to be the first to get to a positive carbon setting, even above zero carbon (meaning that no carbon emissions are being produced from a product or service) and that is quite the achievement to have. Oh, and I reckon that these kids squandering energy as they mine for bitcoins will foot that bill as they are eager to get wealthy and those who do not, get to explain to their mummies and daddies why they need a RTX 5090 32gb AMD Ryzen 9 9900x3d to play Frogger (or Minecraft). I wonder how many excuses they will employ and in the meantime it will reduce the pressures as well, I just wonder how much as there is no real number on the number of bitcoin miners, but they do have a top100 in the Netherlands, so anything is possible.

The other part of the explanation is given to us by Kees-Jan Rameau, chief executive of Dutch energy producer and supplier Eneco. ““Nowadays we’re switching to renewables, and that means there’s a lot of power being injected into the grid in the outskirts of the network where there are only relatively small power lines.” And these small power lines are struggling to cope with all the electricity coming in from wind turbines and solar panels scattered around the country.” OK, that is a fair assessment, but those cases could be renewed or reviewed and separate cables could be set to whatever the renewable setting is to a clear hub (my lack of technical knowledge is optionally at fault here) and that could have been seen in advance to the renewable farms being designed (as I personally see it). 

We get all the excuses and not the simple setting that even as the Netherlands is already at 70% renewable, there was no way that they would be ready before 2035 and that is likely a decade ahead of several other EU nations, the only exception might be Sweden as it constructed Vattenfall some time ago, so they get to have a head start, and they only have 11 hungry mouths to supply and that is as it is 1 times larger, but the bulk of that nation is in the southern third of that country. So they are in a comfortable league to stay even with Dutch ingenuity as I personally see it. 

So whilst the BBC is correct in its article, I fail to see the applaud that the Dutch are due as they are one of the few EU nations that achieved what was needed to achieve (with Sweden in second place) I am missing that part in the article, no matter the laurels that are due Kees-Jan Rameau of Eneco. It is a side we should have been given in this all. So where do Germany, France and the United Kingdom stand in this, how far are they? Just simple questions that come to mind. 

Have a great Sunday (I am having mine with chocolate sprinkles) and enjoy the pre Monday bash you will enjoy, except Canada, they started the weekend a day early due to the Toronto Blue Jays giving the Dodgers (LA) a thrashing with their 11-4 victory. Lucky bastards, a long weekend where none was given.

As evil goes

There is a setting that was inflicted upon us all by books like the bible, it goes like “the idea that humans are the source of their own suffering, whether through their actions, choices, or the inherent negative inclinations they possess” we refer to this like ‘the evil we create’ it is ‘told’ that it revolves around issues of free will and the connected moral responsibility we have. That and last week I went for a job interview. I was told that ‘older’ people are rejected as we lack certain views of adaptation and acceptance of new technologies. In a short saying, that is what my grandfather said when I was wrong until I unplugged his life support, showed him who was boss.

Anyway, something snapped in me and today it is the outcome of short sighted HR people, lazy It people and a dedicated techie who has little to lose, merely the effort that some have and the impact on a lazy business effort with the setting of “Well look at it next quarter” the right combination of issues and impact. And as it goes, places like Ukraine can release such a system on the larger Russian technology setting, so there is that. Although America makes much more likely a target than Moscow, Vladivostok, Saint Petersburg, Arkhangelsk, or Novosibirsk will likely be. 

The setting is that we have two parts. The first part is the automated setting of a standalone laptop with dedicated software that relies on its own (optionally with DML spaces), it is carried around by a drone, one that can hold up to 5Kg, as such a netbook and 3-4 battery packs for longer activities. I reckon that a setup like that would cost around $25,000. Now consider that it goes out looking for wireless enabled servers and in America it would be a lot, In Russia likely a lot less, but not zero. It infects these servers whilst flying around the buildings and in less then 2 minute per servers it does what it needs to do and in one swift control it gets activated, optionally all in one swoop and the location gets a load of DDOS attacks in under an hour. Consider what AWS did to the world, is done by third party players to the business industry. And without effort the business world goes down. So how’s that for an elderly person person without certain views you HR hack. 

As the US governmental settings are in shutdown it will take days to instigate anything and by the time others figure out that they were hacked remotely wirelessly others will destroy the evidence needed and nothing gets done yet again, until the next rounds of hacks come into the wireless connectors. 

So, as evil goes, I am doing quite well. I merely had it with the people deciding on what is possible and leaving me out to dry. Ill soak them all in hardship and terror in an instance. The too is the consequence of unleashed adaptability and considerable creativity. 

So is my idea likely? I am not sure, I think so, but it requires the engineer with effort to program a DML setting and there are other settings, so that they are on the ground hacking via the netbook in a drone so that they become the second hop and that is the unlikely setting, because the hacker needs to remain in an 8 block distance from the drone, not consider that setting that this hacker is drinking and working from a Starbucks at 233 S Wacker Dr, Chicago, or perhaps a coffeeshop in Pershing Square, Los Angeles. How many corporations and servers could be hacked in these 8 block radiuses? That is beside the settings in San Francisco, Houston, Phoenix, SanDiego, Dallas and Austin. Consider that before you write of IT people in their 50’s and 60’s. 

A simple setting and I combined a few simple variables with simple creativity. A setting others cannot dream of and I gave the world a new fear a fear where the world stops because of a simple setting that others (for greed reasons) left around for another quarter. 

That is the setting everyone seems to ignore. The setting that it comes to a halt because these places tend to be out for lunch at 21:00-23:00 hours and that gives the, something to be worried about and with the available IT people working remotely so they can tend to more corporations, that comes down to a grinding halt real quick.

So as such there is evil I can do and the world is not ready for my creativity, as such the HR wench that wrote me off because of age, have a nice day and consider what you unleashed unto the world. Time for me to consider hat else I have wreck havoc on, my creativity is going just fine, so have a great day and consider that the world is about to get more complicated in an instance. And with the police in shutdown to some degree, help might not be coming any day soon and in that same setting you bleed revenue every minute because you left something until the next quarter, which would be on you. 

Have a great day and enjoy the matcha today (apparently prices are currently soaring on that stuff).

For play, Four play or Foreplay

That is the game and today it is the setting of the BBC to get their buns burned, or at least that is how I see it. The article by Liv McMahon is nothing short of a joke. We are given “Snapchat, Reddit and Lloyds Bank were among more than 1,000 sites and services reported to have gone down as a result of issues at the heart of the cloud computing giant’s operations in North Virginia, US on 20 October. In a detailed summary of what caused the outage, Amazon said it occurred as a result of errors which meant its internal systems could not connect websites with the IP addresses computers use to find them.” And I particularly liked the ‘application’ of detailed. It is followed by groveling and whatever by Amazon, and an explanation by Zoe Kleinman, so the detailing was left to someone else. We are given “Amazon said it came down to an issue in US-EAST-1 – its largest cluster of data centres which power much of the internet. Critical processes in the region’s database which stores and manages the Domain Name System (DNS) records, allowing website URLs to be understood by computers, effectively fell out of sync.

According to Amazon, this triggered a “latent race condition” – or in other words unearthed a dormant bug that could occur in an unlikely sequence of events.” So, a bug that could in fact happen if an unlikely event would take place. So, a system at the corner of everything could fall over. You know, Elon Musk gave me a simpler setting, He gave me this image through Twitter (still refusing to call it X).

As I see it, this image is clearer than your whatever you called that piece and it shows the setting that this should not have happened and what were these unlikely events? You fail to disclose this, but that is the foundation of the BBC at present, catering to terrorists (Hamas) at every turn and not triple checking your facts. And there is a need to solve this. You see, Dr. Junade Ali (from Institute for Engineering and Technology) gives us (through you) “Dr Ali believes it highlights the need for companies to be more resilient and diversify their cloud service providers “so they can fail over to other data centres and providers when one isn’t available”. “In this instance, those who had a single point of failure in this Amazon region were susceptible to being taken offline,” he said.” He is correct and that also sets the current ‘drive’ to non-existing AI to a halt. If this is set to AWS standards, there is every likelihood that this flaw is replicated through their AI front and at that setting when this curve is hit, error on error will creep into a system that isn’t supposed to have it. I kinda trust Oracle to have is solved, but AWS might fall over. As such what will the damage be at that point? You can doubt and deny this, but I just illustrate a fall over point and if it has to be addressed at this point, what will the damage be to the consumers of Amazon AI? 

Systems built onto systems and managed by systems when a fall back flaw hits is the start of an unstoppable disaster, or at least unstoppable until there is human interaction and it took approximately 15 hours to fix. Now consider that the decisions of an AI are unchecked for over 15 hours, what damages does this setting bring?

In other news, I got “Many major websites and apps became inaccessible due to a Domain Name System (DNS) issue affecting AWS’s DynamoDB database.” The word Dynamo does not enter your story even once. Seems like the BBC left the facts on the floor, is that how you operate at present? As I personally see it, the Image from Elon Musk was more revealing in this instance and he didn’t have to write a word.

In this, the last word was given to Dr. Junade Ali was spot on “In this instance, those who had a single point of failure in this Amazon region were susceptible to being taken offline”

He seemingly was right and the damage is seen through a thousand corporations big and small and it seems that this “dormant bug that could occur in an unlikely sequence of events” is exactly what organized crime is looking for, a place to hold over everyone as a hostage to their needy revenue. A point they can attack. I think that it is a massive setting that needed fixing last month to be certain, because what was, can explicitly be again. That is how organized crime works, unless they have Filofaxes, which makes them very organized crime at that point.

So as I see it the players are Consumer, Technology, Amazon and opportunity (by anyone). So there are the four players and I reckon that this setting has plagued DynamoDB in a few ways and at least three months ago we were given “Teams are shifting from AWS DynamoDB to alternatives like ScyllaDB due to cost, latency, and multi-cloud flexibility issues. – DynamoDB’s fixed pricing and limited scalability struggle to meet enterprise demands for hybrid cloud adaptability.” So as I see it, there were more issues plaguing this weakness. Another thing that the BBC never showed us, at least not in this report. So what else was missing?

As I see it, have a great day, don’t forget your intake of Coffee (or tea if you are in the UK) and see where the flaws of others would impact you. Don’t rely on me because I am apparently heavily flawed.

Never out of mind

That is the setting. I saw a trailer (I thought it was an AI fluke) but it had the stars and it reminded me of an old game. Wacky Races on the Dreamcast. I thought it was brilliant. SEGA had a competitor to Nintendo’s Mario Kart. Now, I have nothing against Mario Kart. I loved it on the N64, I also loved it on the Gamecube. And when I get the Switch 2, I will love it again. But the setting was that Wacky Races had an approach to counter whatever Nintendo had in those days. Wacky Races was it and as I loved the cartoon, I was instantly hooked. So I was surprised that Sony never bought the rights. So I don’t know what happened to that setting, but at present and especially with the movie apparently coming, Sony has a renewed option to get that title on their PlatStation systems. 

The game had several nice touches and the fact that every car had its own options, makes it a setting that will give renewed replayability. Set the game to several settings and as the game is played on ‘real roads’ the setting could get its own new lease of life. What is better than play your favourite character racing route 66? And that is merely the beginning. The cartoon gave us hilarious settings and that reflects back on the game and even now as this setting is transposed this game could have multiple settings. The famous ‘walks’ could now be the setting of Wacky Races. The St. Frances way (Florence – Rome), the Camino de Santiago walk (Saint JeanPied de Port to Santiago de Compostela) then there is the Nakasendo trail (Kyoto – Tokyo) And not to forget Lands end to John o Groats over the length of the UK. Now we can make the most of it and make it a cartooned version and we can add more. A setting never shown before and as I see it, you can race it eleven time. There were the Boulder Mobile, Creepy Coupe, Convert-a-Car, Crimson Haybaler, Compact Pussycat, Army Surplus Special, Bulletproof Bomb, Arkansas Chuggabug, Turbo Terrific, Buzz Wagon and who could forget the Mean Machine featuring Muttley. 

A wacky race and as the game gets more and more traction Sony could add its own set of tracks. There is no limit to the setting we could add and Sony had an advantage for the longer of times. There is even an option to add the Iceland ring road to these tracks. The quality of Deeper Machine Learning is almost perfect to add these tracks to their arsenal and Google Maps was kind enough to add these rides to the spectrum and now they only need to set the filters to adapt the tracks to a more cartoon setting. Was it that hard to think out of the box? 

But without fail there is always someone who can do better than me, that person (preferably at Sony) merely needs to raise his (or her) hand and start the setting and now that there apparently is coming a Wacky Races movie in 2026, there is an added reason to take up the baton of crazy gameplay on the PlayStation. There is of course a need to put it on the streaming systems too (Amazon Luna and whatever Tencent has). A setting we tend to forget about but the time is now to make that dent in the competitors. Should you see the need to add to this, my advice is to take a serious look at Fur Fighter (Dreamcast), the Playstation 2 made a mess of that game. Two titles and they were largely ignored. And with the stage of original games at a all time low, the need for quality gaming is now and the stage of these walks are a new ride, that besides the stage that you could also add tracks to this, perhaps Monaco, Francorchamps, Le Mans and a few other tracks like Daytona and the Gold Coast track. All options overlooked and now there is a larger setting to make it work.

Have a great day and when you go for coffee today, outside of the gaming world we do have speed limits, no matter how desperately you crave your coffee.

AI at whose footstep?

That is the setting I saw mere hours ago. Should you think it is all a ‘fab’ you might be right. I haven’t ben able to verify this, but the setting is too large to explain in mere thoughts. You see, the story starts with ‘The US Should Reconsider Its AI Chips Deal With The UAE’ (at https://www.eurasiareview.com/22102025-the-us-should-reconsider-its-ai-chips-deal-with-the-uae-oped/) where we are given “In October 2025, the U.S. government granted Nvidia the export license to ship tens of billions of dollars of cutting-edge AI GPUs to the UAE, the deal was finally agreed upon after long debate about its impact on the U.S national security, because of the fear that these chips could be leaked to China, and was also surrounded by a controversy of the UAE using its financial networks to influence Trump to move on with it.” I personally think it is a silly setting, but who am I? But that wasn’t the whole story, it is ‘enhanced’ with “Given the UAE’s poor human rights record and its destabilizing role in the Middle East, it poses serious risks when providing it with this powerful technology. It’s morally imperative for the U.S. to reconsider this deal and place limits on it to ensure it will not be utilized to harm innocent people.” Huh? Poor Human Rights? On what evidence? The UAE is one of the safest countries in the world. Tourism is at an all time high and crime is at an all time low. We are given these settings as there are accusations against Sudan as per 2023 and at present no evidence has been given, the media seems to love the HR records, but it is nearly always devoid of factual evidence. 

Yet the overwhelming abuse (by America) is shown with “While the deal makes it clear that these chips will not be handed to the UAE but will be operated by U.S. companies that have data center in the country, the U.S. should still ensure that this deal—aimed at helping the UAE establish the largest AI campus outside the United States—does not contribute to further human rights violations or war crimes. To prevent misuse, the agreement should include binding conditions prohibiting the use of U.S.-supplied chips in developing AI systems or military technologies for unlawful or unethical purposes, and in particular, blocking the reach of this technology to the UAE’s allied militias.  Furthermore, an independent oversight mechanism is urgently needed to monitor compliance and hold the UAE accountable to these standards.” I have a problem with “to further human rights violations or war crimes” so what EXACTLY is America thinking it is doing? As I see it, America is setting up dat centers in the UAE, letting the UAE pay for them whilst they are American ‘Data Forts’, so at what point will people consider that America is selling the UAE an Edsel? And what about that (so called) “independent oversight mechanism is urgently needed to monitor compliance and hold the UAE accountable to these standards” There is something amiss in this equation and I am not sure if I can stomach such activities (especially as America is currently trying to annex Canada) then there is the deployment of national guards all over America as well as deploy ICE like bank robbers going at their own population. So where is the Human Rights watch in this setting?

So as I see it, the following passage should be read ‘differently’, it is “AI chips are considered essential hardware for training AI models and conducting research in the field of AI. Previously, the U.S. adopted the AI diffusion rule, balancing national security and human rights, and placed strong restrictions on exporting chips to countries with poor human rights records. This rule, which was previously rescinded, is not included in the recently issued America First AI action plan.” As I personally see it, the setting of “AI chips are considered essential hardware for training AI models” which is a truth, but the lager setting is that this so called training data requires verification and at what point is this data ‘accidentally’ transported to America grounds? As I see it this UAE data is the property of the UAE, optionally set in UAE population or economic data. So what assurances does the UAE have that this data remains in the UAE? So whilst the UAE pays for it all, America corporations grow and handle more and more foreign data? No wonder Microsoft wants in (a speculative jab) and at present I see no handles on keeping the UAE data safe in the UAE and the setting of “the Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund with over $280 billion, and G42, the AI hub founded in 2018, owned and chaired by the National Security Advisor of the UAE, Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is also its controlling shareholder” does not inspire confidence in this setting. This is not in any way a reflection on Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, but does he realise that the UAE data is the real treasure that America is speculatively after?

As I personally see it, the Human Rights part was part of the deception to put people on their defense and it has no bearing on the deal. There is even a ‘reference’ to a story in the Africa report and whilst were might take it seriously (you shouldn’t) the reference that “a private security firm based in the United Arab Emirates” with a simple setting pointing towards a passport stamp. Is that the foundation of this Mohamed Suliman? He might have an Engineering degree from the University of Khartoum, but the setting of evidence is as I (personally) see it rather alien to him. I blew that part apart in under 10 minutes and what does matter is that there are questions on what the UAE is allowing for and the fear that the stage of leaked to China is merely limited to the way America is conducting business. It should have China howling with laughter as it basically shows how desperate America has become. Just a small setting that is overlooked here.

As I personally see it, if it was about the UAE than the story would have reflected on how this IT dealer by the name of Larry Ellison (Oracle) had come to the UAE taking Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan on a personal tour of his AI Rolls Royce at 100 Milverton Drive, Mississauga (an assumed location where it could be held), did this happen? The story does not show this, and it neither show what AI settings were shown (a prerequisite that an AI engineer) would cherish, none of that. A mere dubious Human Rights setting, a setting that might have been left to a non-engineer. 

So whilst we like to mull over the stage of “could readily be transferred to support its regional allies and militias to wage more wars and massacres” all whilst China is already decades ahead of others and it could not be served with evidence, merely assumptions. So did I give you enough food for thought? So what does this story serve? As I see it a lot of references without evidence of the level it might require. The only thing I see is “operated by U.S. companies that have data center in the country” so at what point are the needs of the government of the UAE being served? Especially as it is handed to us with the $280 billion price tag, but how much of this setting is actually charged to the UAE? Even that is missing, so what are we supposed to think? 

Have a great day and consider that American coffee is optionally served in the UAE with a massive markup.
