With Ice please

There was a setting I entertained and I gave it a lot of thought. The idea of striking against Iran after they attacked the UAE and Saudi Arabia gave me joy. As such I considered a way to impact their infrastructure. I know it is so easy to send a missiles there, but that merely causes some structural damage whilst Iran gets ready to reroute whatever they have. So, I have it another setting. I looked at a few settings with the diagrams that are out there and it helped me to create a new ‘sticky ice charge’ not a great name, but it does the job. 

So, this is what set it off and to consider the real deal, we have

This is what I had to work with and I created two solutions. The first one is seen below

The setting is simple, the blue part is liquid nitrogen, the middle part is C4 (with a small detonator) which gets activated 10 second after the sticky ball is fired. the collar is sticky to keep it in place. The ball is fired at the fastener and as the sticky ball breaks the fastener is frozen by liquid nitrogen making is massively brittle, the small explosion will shatter the fastener. Do this over one length or rail on both sides that rail is now loose and when the train drives over this, it all goes south from there, derailed train, wagons optionally falling over, it’s a whole new game. The simple setting of a derailed train, that track will be out for weeks (optionally months) no matter how many resources you throw at it, the moment it is way out of towns, there will be delay upon delay. And that is the mere start of it. When it is used in combination of the harbour solution, I reckon that the infrastructure of Iran gets a partial collapse. 

Then I got to thinking on a second solution, a ribbon with C4 and Nitrogen delivered to the tracks. On both sides with magnets sticking it to the rails with an optional second pressure point or connection about 30 seconds before the charge. 

Will it work? I believe so, but I am an incurable optimist. Anyway this IP is freely given to the UAE and to Saudi Arabia, so they make make something of it. I might be to old to fight, but I can become the next best thing. A nightmare to Iran and with these settings, their 13,000 kilometers ca now be sold as scrap metal (a delusional thought, I know) but in all these settings we see on YouTube and TV, no one is considering destroying infrastructure. It might not be sexy but it tends to work.

Anyway, I believe I have done my bit for the UAE (Saudi Arabia too), as such it is now up to them to make this reality or not. So you all have a great day today.

What we think we know

That what we think we know is a dangerous setting. We can know things on presumption and that is fine. How will anyone react tends to be also in the cards. But to sell the pelt of any animal before you make good on the kill is very dangerous. The idea that allies are bound into a sense of understanding is one thing. But tell me this, how is this set into reality?

So how is “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP” realistic? Is there a win? Was there a war? You see the United States of America never declared war on anyone and that will haunt President Trump long after he is taken out of office. You see, America is now playing a very dangerous game. Not only is his economy (basically) tanking, but at present he has no allies left. Then ABC gives us “As of March 2026, Saudi Arabia, along with other Gulf states, is reportedly reviewing its international financial commitments, including potential reductions in U.S. investments. Driven by budget pressures, lower energy revenues, and regional tensions, this shift is considered a precautionary strategy rather than an immediate, full withdrawal.” Some make claim that this is around 5 trillion dollars (aka $5,000,000,000,000) and in light of the debt they already have (As of March 5, 2026, the total U.S. national debt is approximately $38,870,000,000,000 trillion) so the United States of America is in a bundle and I reckon that they want to reduce Iran into a cinder so that they can claim the oil, they won’t make that claim, they merely buy all the oil at a speculative $0.50 per barrel). But that is merely my speculative view. The AFR, or Australian Financial Review (at https://www.afr.com/world/middle-east/trump-s-war-on-iran-is-a-long-way-from-won-20260304-p5o7hu) gives us ‘Trump’s war on Iran is a long way from won’ where we see “As the second week of “Operation Epic Fury” rumbles on, the duration of the widening conflict across the Middle East and its impact on the global economy and Australia remain uncertain. US-Israeli air strikes have succeeded in decapitating Iran’s high command and degrading its military and naval capacity. Yet, like the hydra regenerating after the head is cut off, there is no certainty the regime has been defeated after the son of the assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei was appointed his successor.” (The rest is behind a paywall). But I had my own version of systems and I have gifted all my military IP to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Iran needs to be defeated as it attacked the gulf states. And as my IP destroys their harbors and railway lines. Iran will have serious problems with their infrastructure soon enough. I wrote about this in the last few days. 

I think that if they are willing to attack civilian targets, then I can send my IP to them to aid them in their fight against Iran and the setting that Saudi Arabia has been under attack by Iran in proxy warfare makes the decision easier. I might not make any money, but at least it will serve a greater purpose and that is fine with me. 

And now as Mojtaba Khamenei is selected as the new supreme leader there is every chance that both Israel and the United States of America will face more weeks of warfare. Is there a chance it will be over soon? It is not impossible but only if Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj and Tabriz are totally reduced to rubble and in the meantime the press (always eager to make digital dollars) are watching every bomb that falls. Only in the first week were we given ‘US investigators believe strike on Iranian girls’ school probably carried out by US forces’ (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/06/us-investigators-believe-strike-on-iranian-girls-school-likely-carried-out-by-us-forces) and now we hear rumors (unconfirmed facts) that the schools was accidentally targeted twice. So they screwed up twice and now they need to make a victory, but what will it take? More important, does the United States of America have the cash to set this war into reality? And there are several other facts that are in doubt. I reckon that if the gulf states remove their 5 trillion, life in the United States will become really hard soon enough, and the setting to piss of Sir Keir Rodney Starmer and the British people is about to have a considerable price tag. Didn’t anyone tell this president the story that you cannot sell the hide of an animal before you kill it? It is a simple question really.

So have a great day and enjoy the sunshine (if there is any).

Wrecking my brain

That is at times the exercise. It is not one I like, but there are a few settings that have been plaguing me. First there was the setting that someone had ‘an idea’ and they basically repeat the idea I spouted on February 1st (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/02/01/sinking-a-dilemma/) where I basically nullified the setting that Iran has with the Strait of Hormuz. No biggie, but the idea ‘now’ belongs to the UAE (as it was on their turf), so today there was some ‘intelligent’ person who started to debunk the idea (nothing wrong with that) but that person goes on on how high the mountains there are. So, what does that have anything to do with that? The nice thing of a tunnel is that it goes UNDER the mountain. And then that person goes on that such a solution will cost $200 billion. So when we consider the setting with the Eurotunnel we get

“The Channel Tunnel (“Eurotunnel”) cost approximately £9.5 billion (roughly $14.5 billion USD in 1994) to build, significantly exceeding its initial 1985 estimate of £4.8 billion. Construction took six years (1988–1994) and required 13,000 workers to dig the 50-kilometer (31-mile) tunnel, which in today’s money is valued at over £12 billion.”

So, why does it take 16 times more now? I have an issue with that equation. And there are settings that do apply, but to get 2-3 tunnel diggers to do that track a few times might not be that much more, as I see it, the 3 tunnel diggers will work in layers. Top middle and bottom layer. I personally think that is it and it doesn’t require much more (perhaps it does and I lack the knowledge of this) and I admit that it might take 5 layers, but at least I am trying to find solutions. The track I had in mind might need a little adjustment, but beyond that I think the idea is sound and now that Iran is blocking the straight of Hormuz, the idea becomes a lot more pressing. So this was the first setting for me. 

Then I suddenly got an idea in the digital realm. You see in the 70’s there were these books, I believe that Esso or Shell released them. These books had pages with fields, tennis courts and a few other sports. You placed a transparent rubber sticker on the page and the rubber would keep it in place. There were all kinds of balls, arrows and lines to add to this and the result was a goal or point setting. They covered field hockey, football, tennis, and several other sports. I had such a book and we were all trying to make the most elaborate and stunning goals that the sport could have. Now we have digital options. But consider this. Like a Flash setting. We have a starting position with the figurine and the end position of that person. And now over that line we can animate (and morph) the player so that the animation is smooth. All this already exists. The ball will go through a similar track (via the line) but no morphing is required. Consider this to be a ‘vanilla’ person and as we select the team the outfit is made to match. What would be new is the option to attach commentary, so you become the sports commentator. And in that setting we now have a digital version of this and consider all these kids no longer on social media. So we will create new places, not social media, where they can share these idea’s and sports consider that we can use all the summer sports and all the winter sports. As the library of actions is increased there will be the option of all these animations to be completed and as such we get an entirely new setting for youthful players and the not so youthful ones who are into sports will also revere the opportunity given here. It would be something like Macromedia Director and it will be more polished as it is limited to sports and based on morphing figurines, timeline and sport items. The commentary is a new feature that we never had before, as such there is plenty of IP in here, because the old ideas are based on non-digital sources. And there is plenty of adjusted sports that could be added (like polo) waterpolo existed if I remember correctly, but there are plenty of games that never made that setting, as such they could be added, because the engine that drives it would be the same. Some people try to come up with something no one has ever seen before, I look behind me and see what others have forgotten and it could be made malleable in the new age, on new grounds and still the IP could result in patents. What a lovely thought. 

The third setting was an idea for a script, but as Iran started being nasty, that idea could be the new option for Saudi Arabia and the UAE to develop and deploy against Iran and there was still the idea of closing their harbours, but not on their terms. A harbour is only useful if it can be utilized, take that away and you have all these cranes collecting dust for months, if not years. I can be a mean piece of work if I set my mind to it and as I see it, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia could use my level of sneakiness. But about that later. Going back to the new IP, the idea that the animation is set also gives the stage that the export could be YouTube video and with the commentary in place, it could sound a new age for whomever likes to be creative and we all adhere to our creative mindsets and thus far I like where the idea is taking me. But I have other things to do, as such I leave it here for others to pick up that baton. 

That is how I roll, those wanting to hang onto every idea THEY have end up having nothing and that is not me. So whilst I place this I go on with the options I am working on. Have a great day today, I am now 300 minutes from breakfast, time to learn if I can still snore like a sawmill, you all have a lovely day.

The fear behind us

There is a setting, one that requires scrutiny and one that demands closer looks. You see, I do not completely agree with the setting that The Guardian gives us (at https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/26/how-to-replace-amazon-google-x-meta-apple-alternatives) with the illustrious title ‘Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more’ the first big thing is that there is no mention of Microsoft in that title. So that is the very first thing that comes to mind. Especially as CoPilot was mentioned earlier this week of sifting through our confidential emails. I can drop the ‘alleged’ as Microsoft admitted to this and basically said ‘Oops’ as an implied reason. So what gives?

It starts with “So many ills can be laid at its door: social media harms, misinformation, polarisation, mining and misuse of personal data, environmental negligence, tax avoidance, the list goes on. Added to which, Silicon Valley’s leaders seem all too keen to cosy up to the Trump administration, to shower the president with bribes – sorry, gifts – and remain silent about his worsening political overreach. And that’s before we get to the rampant “enshittification”, as the tech writer Cory Doctorow describes it, which means that by design many big tech products have become less useful and more extractive than they were when we originally signed up to them.” OK, I can go along with this. And the sentence “many big tech products have become less useful and more extractive than they were when we originally signed up to them” gets a mention from me because some of these ‘culprits’ seemingly have no idea what innovation is, for the you have to look towards China, specifically Huawei and Tencent. So we get to the first hurdle. 

“Google has cornered 90% of the search market for the past decade, but it is often no better, and sometimes demonstrably worse than its rivals, perhaps on purpose – Doctorow has called Google: “the poster-child for enshittification” citing its alleged strategy of worsening search quality so that users spend more time on the site. But changing the default search engine on any device is extremely easy. I’ve been using Ecosia for years. Instead of using your searches to fill corporate coffers, it uses them to plant trees. The Berlin-based company claims to have planted nearly 250m trees since it launched in 2009 (you can even get your own personal counter to feel extra virtuous). Ecosia commits 100% of its profits to climate action (over €100m so far), produces more clean energy than it consumes via its own solar plants, and collects minimal data on its users. Ecosia’s search results are not always as thorough as Google, admittedly (in the “news” category, for example), though the toolbar does give you options to search via Google and Bing if you need to.” The issue is that Ecosia is for all intent and matters Microsoft Bing. So this is seemingly a sales talk by a journalist because there is a massive problem finding anything by Microsoft reliable. And then we get the real stuff, Microsoft knows it is in hot waters, so we are given “The French company Qwant is similarly privacy-oriented (its slogan is “The search engine that values you as a user, not as a product”) and is now mostly independent (having started out based on Bing). It is now partnering with Ecosia to build a new “European search index”.” Yes but Microsoft is American ands as such your data will be copied and frowned on, browsed through to all their hearts content. If this is wrong, Ecosia and Qwant better clearly state that they are independent of Microsoft, because it is still the issue in Europe and for what they state the their DATA is completely secure, the issue becomes where are the backups? If they are on an American cloud or server, the setting of privacy is set to 0%. 

I can agree with the Browser chapter and even as I still rely on Google (it has never failed me), I get that no everyone is in that chapter of things. I get the Office part. I myself downloaded LibreOffice (download only, no installation yet) and I will look at it at some point, the Apple apps do their work brilliantly. So we are given “Many of them, including Austria’s military and local governments in Germany and France, are switching to LibreOffice, created by the Berlin-based, nonprofit, The Document Foundation. Businesses and individuals are doing the same. Ethical Consumer has used LibreOffice for some time, says Fraser. “It’s an open-source version of Word, and all of the Office tools. It works and looks basically the same.”” I personally reckon that this is the problem Microsoft has and getting the data from Ecosia might be their last handhold to European data, this is not a given, but I expect that this is the inside not Europe to some degree. And whilst everyone is concerned with the privacy of data, I reckon that similar to the setting of 1998-2002, no one is digging and questioning the stages of backups. But that might merely be me and as I am no longer living in Europe, I casually don’t care.

Then we see the mobile settings with a shoutout to Fairphone in the Netherlands. I have nothing against Fairphone, but it always makes me wonder if Fairphone had the same idea that Tulip had in the 90’s. That doesn’t make it wrong, it is merely a Business Ploy that should be considered. I am now and always have been a Google guy. So when we see “There is a catch: most of these phones still rely on Google’s Android operating system, but any phone can be fully “de-Googled” with the /e/OS operating system (it comes as standard with Murena phones), developed by the global, mostly European, nonprofit, e Foundation.” I can think of a way where Google can set this with their Pixels. When the consumer can select Google or A Linux version that does most of the stuff, Google clearly wins in several chapters. I reckon that these flower can merely snap market share because of this, when Google leaves it to the consumers, Google wins nearly automatically. Oh and in all this there is no mention of HarmonyOS in this and I reckon that these smaller players are adjusting to HarmonyOS as we speak, or cater to, or appease that branch. Not everyone in Europe is ‘China hating’ material. And that is merely the smallest setting of these parts. I am personally not touching the shopping side. I was raised as a follower of ‘Support your local hooker’ a phrase from the late 70’s. In that age we got malls, supermarkets and such and die to that escalation loads of local stores went through a foreclosure setting. In that same way I don’t order from Amazon. I have nothing against Amazon and they closed the gap of rural places having no way to get stuff to them having plenty of stuff and over 60% or Europe and 71% of rural USA is now served. As such Amazon did them right. I just believe that I should get to the local stores to get what I need. I only had to resort to Amazon twice in the last 10 years. So I am happy. And all these Amazon haters can go sit in a corner trying to work out the function of a cheese slicer (revelation: the red corners that are diminishing have figured it out).

But my issue is that Microsoft is shown in a ‘favorable’ light, they aren’t and they aren’t due that setting as I personally see it. The fear behind this is not the Big-tech, it is the policy that comes through the CLOUD Act (2018), it gives America too much ability to get to out data and in several cases non-American IP, which is even more frightfully. these hundreds of data centers have no reason to exist if the CLOUD Act (2018) what made illegal, that is how I see it and there is no saving Microsoft, because we get ‘blunder’ after ‘blunder’ and how long until we get another ‘Oops’ setting but now corporate IP was set in some AI hole? That is the larger fear that I see and there is no stopping it, whilst corporations are breathing the AI cloud through wannabe’s who want to move up in the world, that data is most likely to get compromised and as corporations are not setting the HR and data loops to any scrutiny, this is likely already happening and will continue to happen until the then valueless corporations see that they had to act a lot sooner than the day before all their data is in other hands. We already have Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence (2025), Bartz v. Anthropic (2025/2026), Disney & NBCUniversal v. Midjourney and the best case is United States v. Heppner (2026) where we see that documents drafted using a public, consumer-grade AI tool were not protected by attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. And that is the setting that people miss. Should someone at IBM use that setting this work becomes public, so consider that this is not IBM, but Microsoft using Copilot or OpenAI (ChatGPT) the work of your corporation becomes for all intent and purposes Public Domain, did you sign up for that?

There is plenty in the article that makes sense, but the ones that aren’t mentions are a larger fear creator than anything you are trying to hide from. Just an idea to consider. Have a great day this day.

Alternative Indiscretion

That is the setting and it is given to us by the BBC. The first setting (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jxevd8mdyo) gives us ‘Microsoft error sees confidential emails exposed to AI tool Copilot’ which is not entirely true as I personally see it. And as the Microsoft spin machine comes to a live setting, we are given “Microsoft has acknowledged an error causing its AI work assistant to access and summarise some users’ confidential emails by mistake.” As I see it, whatever ‘AI’ machine there is, a programmer told it to get whatever it could and there the setting changes. With the added “a recent issue caused the tool to surface information to some enterprise users from messages stored in their drafts and sent email folders – including those marked as confidential.” As I personally see it, the system was told to grab anything it could and then label as needed, that is what a machine learning programmer would do and that makes sense. So there is no ‘error’ the error was that this wasn’t clearly set BEFORE the capture of all data began and these AI wannabe’s are so neatly set to capture all data that it is nothing less than a miracle it had not surfaced sooner. So when we laughingly see Forbes giving us a week ago ‘Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI’, so how much of that relies on confidential settings or plagiarism? Because as I see it, the entire REAL AI is at least two decades away (optionally 15 years, depending on a few factors) and as I see it, IBM will get to that setting long before Microsoft will (I admittedly do not now all the settings of Microsoft, but there is no way they got ahead of IBM in several fields). So, this is not me being anti-Microsoft, just a realist seeing the traps and falls as they are ‘surfacing’ all whilst there are two settings that aren’t even considered. Namely Validation and Verification. The entire confidential email setting is a clear lack of verification as well was validation. Was the access valid? Nope, me thinks not. A such Microsoft is merely showing how far they are lagging and lagging more with every setting we see.

And when we see that, is the setting we see (at https://arab.news/zzapc) where we are given ‘OpenAI’s Altman says world ‘urgently’ needs AI regulation’, and I don’t disagree on this, but is this given (by him of all people) because Google is getting to much of a lead? It is not without some discourse from Google themselves (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q3g0ln274o) the BBC also gives us ‘Urgent research needed to tackle AI threats, says Google AI boss’, consider that a loud ‘Yes’ from my desk, but in all this, the two settings that need to be addressed is verification and validation. These two will weed out a massive amount of threats (not all mind you) and that comes in a setting that most are ignoring, because as I told you all around 30 hours ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/02/19/the-setting-of-the-sun/) in ‘The setting of the sun’ which took the BBC reporter a mere 20 minutes to run a circle around what some call AI. I added there too that Validation and Verification was required, because the lack there could make trolls and hackers set a new economic policy that would not be countered in time making them millions in the process. Two people set that in motion and one of them (that would be me) told you all so around December 1st 2025 in ‘It’s starting to happen.’ (At https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/12/01/its-starting-to-happen/) as such I was months ahead of the rest. Actually, I was ahead by close to a decade as this were two settings that come with the rules of non-repudiation which I got taught at uni in 2012. As such the people running to get the revenue are willing to sell you down the river. How does that go over with your board of directors? And I saw parts of this as I promised that 2026 was likely the year of the AI class cases and now as we see Microsoft adding to this debacle, more cases are likely to come. Because the greed in people sees the nesting error of Microsoft as a Ka-Ching moment. 

So as we take heed with “Sir Demis said it was important to build “robust guardrails” against the most serious threats from the rise of autonomous systems.” I can agree with this, but that article doesn’t mention either validation of verification even once, as such there is a lot more to be done in several ways. If only to stop people to rely on Reddit as a ‘valid’ source of all data. Because that is a setting most will not survive and when the AI wannabe’s go to court and they will be required to ‘spout’ their sources, any of them making a mention of ‘Reddit’ is on the short track of the losing party n that court case. What a lovely tangled web we weave, don’t we? So whilst we see (there) the statement “Many tech leaders and politicians at the Summit have called for more global governance of AI, ahead of an expected joint statement as the event draws to a close. But the US has rejected this stance, with White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios saying: “AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future if it is subject to bureaucracies and centralised control.””

Consider that court cases are pushed through a lack of bureaucracy? I am not stating it is good or bad, but in any court case, you merely need to look at the contents of ‘The Law of Intellectual Property Copyright, Design & Confidential Information’ and that is before they rely on the Copyright Act, because there is every chance that Reddit never gave permission to all these data vendors downloading whatever was there (but that is pure speculation by me). And in the second setting we are given “AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future”, the bland answer from me would be. “That is because it doesn’t exist yet” and these people are banking on no one countering their setting and that is why so many of these court cases will be settled out of court. Because the truth of this is that the power of AI is depending on certain pieces being in place and they are not. Doubt me? That is fine, and I applaud that level of skepticism and you merely need to read the paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” which was written by Alan Turing in 1950 to see how easy the stage is misrepresented at present.

So is there good news? 
Well if you want to get your dollars in court and you are an aggrieved party, your chances are good and the largest players are set to settle against the public scrutiny that every case beings to the table. And in this day of media, it is becoming increasingly easy as I see it. There is no real number, but it is set to be in the billions where one case was settled on $1.5B, as such there is plenty of work for what some call the ambulance chasers and they will soon get a new highway, the AI Chasers and leave it to the lawyers to find their financial groove and as I see it, people like Michael Kratsios are bound to add to that setting in ways we cannot yet see (we can see some of it, but the real damage will be shown in a year of two) so as some are flexing their muscles, others are preparing their war fund to get what I would see as an easy payday. 

A setting that is almost certain to happen, because there are too many markers showing up the way I expected them to show. Not nice, but it is what it is.

Have a great day as you are all moving towards this weekend (I’m already there)

A comedian makes a funny

That is every now and then the question, the actor, the comedian (which is weird as the original Heimdall had zero sense of humor) flexed his funny muscle when he used his own wax figurine to unlock his own phone. 

I saw the news last night and it didn’t hit me then, but 1-2 hours later something occurred to me, if that is possible, something else becomes possible too. As I couldn’t find the story anymore, I found this story (which is basically the same, at https://www.mandatory.com/news/1705735-idris-elba-wax-figure-unlock-his-phone) and when I reread it, just to make sure that I was on the right track, the other thought perturbed my brain. You see, when that works, the altered setting of projecting a high res photo (over 30MP) projected against a styrofoam head (to give it proper 3D settings) might work as well. 

As such those ‘relying’ on FaceID optionally get a new problem, because the world at large is overly happy with all the selfies they are making. 

So I got to thinking, should the next camera be equipped with an additional infrared or ultraviolet setting, the premise changes, because either of those will not be transmitted and should the system use the two images (infrared might be better) combined with a normal picture, we get a setting of non repudiation, a setting I applaud and I think we should rely on, as such FaceID becomes more secure and an optional setting towards non repudiation.

As such the makers of phones (Granny Smith and Google) as well as other phone makers might want to consider this step to secure their safety features. I reckon that Google might be the first to take this step and optionally the Pixel 12 might be the first one to hold this setting. The Pixel 11 is already in pre production, as such it might be too late to set that alteration in motion and lets face it, it is not an issue yet and lets face it as it stands, the members who need this feature have other ways to get this done and by the time this trickles down a year would have passed. 

So as someone in a ver funny way used his own wax figuring to unlock his phone, as such there are only 11,500 in ‘peril’ from getting their phone unlocked, whilst my styrofoam solution brings ‘unease’ to the 2,500,000 origanised crime bosses globally and as Salvatore Maranzano passed away before the smartphone, because of a novelty item, his secrets are still safe. But the need for non repudiation might once again have been pushed to the forefront of the brain of whomever needs this, so that’s good.

Well, that was fun. Got to use the noggin to create another piece of IP and the world might be better for it. And for me a story emerged a few hours ago that has me puzzled. You see, some in the American Administration as saying their economy is doing good (I think someone used the expression ‘robust’) which I think is not that sincere, but then again a block of iron is ‘robust’ when facing a piece of carton, but there is a difference between iron and steel and that difference when we see that one is $106.03 and the other is $951.00, so we have some fluctuation here and that is at the core of my puzzlement. You see, the news I saw gives us “The pound to dollar exchange rate has cracked into the 1.38’s in midweek trade following a remarkable 1.20% daily gain.” And as far as I know, the UK economy isn’t doing great as such how did this happen? Is the US economy in a lot more problems than the US stakeholders are allowing for the media to be released? Your guess is as good as mine as I have less knowledge of this than Heimdall has on humor. But there is something afoot and even if I did like the setting that I am correct yet another time, the impact of a stalling American economy due to the $38,665,000,000,000 debt they are having and as that debt is over 200 billion more than in the last two weeks, as I personally see it time might be running out for America. But that is a story for another day. At present I am gloating for my IP towards a solution for non repudiation and that is enough for now.

Almost time for my morning routine (coffee and breakfast) so you all have a great day.

Relation to all settings

That is what I had two days ago. I didn’t act on it, because I had an IP idea and that tends to take precedence. But two days ago and for more the entire last week I have been ‘brooding’ over these grocery stores (Microsoft and Amazon) giving us that they were setting ‘localised’ protection settings and there was the rub. So here goes and I am trying to do it in certain orders (mostly chronographically). So I saw news that was a little weird, because “The U.S. CLOUD Act (passed 2018) empowers U.S. law enforcement to compel American tech companies to provide data stored on servers globally, regardless of whether the data is in the U.S. or overseas. It focuses on data control by U.S.-based entities rather than physical location. Separately, “American Cloud” refers to an independent provider offering zero egress fees, focusing on data sovereignty.” And with the intellectually challenged person they put in the white house and his ‘power hungry’ grabbing notions, the world is in clear and present danger. It was only a moment that I was confused, but this made a lot more sense than trying to grab Venezuelas oil. And I think that was what is seemingly all that need for all those data centres, the AI was merely icing on the cake, the real price is the global data that is now slowly heading to all these data centres and only localised non American set data centres are safe. As far as I know there is merely one in Sweden and that is basically it. And don’t think that you are safe, the image below shows the tainted corporations that have at least one American data centre.

The Dutch Netherlands Broadcasting Foundation (NOS) gives us that 100% of the Dutch media has American links (what a surprise) and for the rest, there is little else, only the psychiatrists have only 56% ‘tainting’ by yanks as the expression goes. As such this was brought to the surface by the Conversation who (at https://theconversation.com/microsofts-ai-deal-promises-canada-digital-sovereignty-but-is-that-a-pledge-it-can-keep-272890) gave us ‘Microsoft’s AI deal promises Canada digital sovereignty, but is that a pledge it can keep?’ Which was given to us on January 19th, as such it is BS in a jar, because as you saw, the 2018 act gives America access to it all and you have seen how boated this White House is, so as such you have no chance in hell to keep your data safe. Fortunately I had a second setting and as I ‘exploited’ a Banyan vices weakness in cloud settings, I am a little more safe than most and do you think that this is limited to global personal data? How long until you are forced to watch how American ‘corporation’ use whatever IP they can find? Some give us ‘OpenAI Plans to Take a Cut of Customers’ AI-Aided Discoveries’, so how long until the fading between that and ‘OpenAI Plans to Take a Cut of offered AI-Aided Discoveries’ that threshold is a lot smaller than you thought possible. And whilst other sources (read: NBC) give us at https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/15/amazon-sovereign-cloud-europe-expansion.html ‘Amazon’s European sovereign cloud launch is a ‘big bet,’ AWS CEO Garman tells CNBC’ Yes and it makes no difference. Amazon and AWS are American companies as such America can grab that data. It’s like a sugar addict telling you that your jollies are safe. In this regard no follies are safe and as I see it several government should have acted in 2018, but most of these governments were possibly lulled to sleep with BS promises. As such the world has no longer any time to adjust. Personally I think that a specialized form of what was called in the 90’s as the DB virus. The virus was incredibly clever. It was a data virus unlike any other. The virus changes all your data and data went from 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to 5 2 7 5 9 0 4 1 3 the problem was that until the virus was removed no one had a clue what was going on and when the virus was removed all numbers got to be hustled up, making the data useless. I reckon that a slightly more evolved setting is required here. And whomever objects can go catch an arial coitus (they are in towns with a population of 1 (you). It is all I can come up with in a few seconds but that is set into a larger setting, the viral setting is the desktop, and as it is ‘divided’ from the cloud data there is nothing America could do about it. All those Exabytes of useless data, makes my cry with laughter that is. So whilst AWS is giving us “The cloud will be “physically and logically separate” from other AWS regions, the company said.” It wouldn’t mater because AWS/Amazon is still an American company and this white house doesn’t care what you think. It is all America first, as such my option might make a little more sense. And there is still those dedicated Swedish (optionally Danish) cloud providers too who rely on Linux or at least non-American software solutions. And we all need to consider what is at stake, because this White House is a lot more desperate that we think they are. I am still sifting though data (and I have too little validation) but it seems that Goldman Sachs just offloaded $847 Billion in US Bonds (a part I cannot validate yet, but the papers are allegedly with the SEC) and if that is the case, the final pushes are now in play in America, as such they need all our data as they are getting desperate, which might take a while because the SEC has over 4400 documents involving Goldman Sachs.

But the premise of this situation is a little too dire for me to blatantly copy what other media is stating, and the media is not the trustworthy in my book. So have a great day this Sunday and as It is 14 degrees cooler than yesterday, I should be good, but with this heat I would rather be in Canada (and I reckon they prefer to be here).

Our lull moments

That happens, we all crave it, the option of bliss, inactivity, moments of calmness and we find it in different ways. I for one have this with a video game. Not some edge of seat Epic setting, but the Horizon setting, Skyrim, Oblivion, fall out, the list goes on. And yesterday I saw a list of two dozen games coming to the PS5 and some woke me up. There was off course Wolverine by Insomniac. I will be waiting for that one, but at that point one game turned up that I never expected The game STYX has as far as I know been a Xbox game and it is a excellent game, Stealth of the better variety. And you better rely on stealth as you are a 4’ goblin with his trusty knife. What drove me to this game that any level had several solution to solving it and you got points for completing other ways. It was a lovely time. Now its coming to Sony Playstation and we can rejoice. More important there are a few other settings we could consider. One of them is RYSE, son of Rome. The good parts is that the graphics were really good and the storyline was amazing. The two downsides were in the first was that all combat is massively repetitive. And the second one was that you had too defeat several bosses twice, after the first time he completely reset his health bar. I don’t like this, but that might just be me. So as I see it, when you redo the battle setting of Marius Titus you might have an amazing Playstation winner. So when we consider the funny part, who thought that Frankfurt had more to offer than Frankfurters? Crytek GmbH might be the next great thing coming from Germany, go that is an exaggeration, but the truth is that RYSE might have dies too soon and too small a death, so whilst some might object as it was released 12 years ago, I say ‘be still’ good games overcome systems and generations (example Mass Effect and Oblivion) and those are merely two who made the system generation jump. I think that Ryse could do the same (if the two weaknesses are dealt with) As far as I see it, everyone is looking at what might be (I do that too at times) but at times I look behind me what we left and there is plenty to be had in that direction too. I gave some of this ‘life’ in an IP solution I offered to Saudi Arabia and I still believe it can work, not merely for the games, but for the two sides of that equation that could propels Saudi Arabia’s gaming and other settings a lot further. Don’t be miffed Amazon got the same option, but they decided to ignore this whilst they are banking on AI (good luck with that).

So whilst we were given ‘Amazon Pulls AI-Powered Fallout Recap After Getting Key Story Details Wrong’ which comes with “According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Amazon is betting AI can identify key plot points for a series to be synchronized with a voiceover narration and dialogue snippets.”” Apart from the settings that are incorrect and incomplete. Amazon needs to realise that this is all programmed and the programmer might not see what needs validating and verification. They might not know, but the fans will pick up on this instantly. And Engadget gives us ‘Amazon’s AI-generated recap tool didn’t watch Fallout very closely’ this relates to games, because when these people get the AI part ‘working’ they will go over games in that same way and that is where the blunders start adding up to the folly of people who blindly believe in AI. Because I mentioned once that 2026 will be the setting of AI court cases and I was proven (yet) again correct as we are given ‘CanLII and Caseway AI reportedly moving towards settlement in copyright dispute’ as well as TechCrunch given us 8 hours ago ‘Google and Character.AI negotiate first major settlements in teen chatbot death cases’ merely two cases in the second week on January. So, how many more will follow? Only seven hours ago we were given ‘Musk lawsuit over OpenAI for-profit conversion can head to trial, US judge says’ and all this relates to games, because last November we were given ‘Ubisoft Reveals Teammates – An AI Experiment to Change the Game’ and I reckon it will merely take one slip up to thwart the statistics of a player and he will be crying in the lap of some ambulance chaser. A setting I saw coming a mile away which a few people have experienced if they are stealth players. 

As such my lull moment gets blown away with some AI character, team mate or not. But that might merely be me, but what Ido remember was call on this setting months ago and now we see two being settled, whilst OpenAI is now entering the dock for what might cost them a pretty penny. Did those shareholders consider that this might become the destination of their investment?

Have a great day.

The games we cherish

We (namely gamers) have a weird knack. When we go ‘gaga’ for a game we cannot help but try to improve upon it in our minds, optionally create new IP based on that game. In 2012 I created Elder Scrolls VI (now basically VII) and after Bethesda was bought by Microsoft, I thought it might be better to put parts of this on my blog, but now ‘altered’ to fit new IP and I basically handed it to anyone making games for non Microsoft systems. I thought it was a good idea to create new IP to cater to the new game designers. I also came up with a new idea of setting a larger combat setting, so that we would not fall for the usual culprits (by stepping out of that combat area, a new way to increase the deadliness of the NPC and I used an idea that Vint Cerf created and gave it new life, but now in gaming. I reckon that this was never done before, so there was a nice niche for that designer. This background was slightly needed as I created an idea for the upcoming (somewhere in the future) of Hogwarts Legacy 2, there is no real timeline, but several sources tell bye that Avalanche Software is on the ball. That didn’t stop me from slapping my mind about for some quick fixes and I wrote about this in the past in two blogs I gave Avalanche Software the ideas, free of charge. I did put one small barricade in place, because as I see it, Hogwarts is the IP of JK Rowling and I have no idea how this is set in the corridors of Avalanche Software, as such the small barricade was that they get it (still free of charge) only with the approval of JK Rowling. 

It seems flimsy, but I believe that IP is holy, messing with it is not my forte. As such I keep some ideas and they go straight to JK Rowling, because she owns that IP. As such I cover myself in some protection and no-one can come and go with the setting “But he gave this to us”. To prevent that, all Hogwarts related idea become property of JK and if she doesn’t approve no harm was done. 

Anyway, I was thinking or speculating on what HL2 would be like, and that is a waste of my time, so I thought that it might be an idea to set a threshold in place. As such we get a condition if you transfer you HL character. And if done splendidly, you get to do that 4 times. And that was how I came up with the setting of a part (could be a DLC) where your Hufflepuff character could become a junior wand-maker (at Olivanders) the small scene at Azkaban gave the idea that people from Ravenclaw could get one of three jobs at Azkaban, Slytherin gets to be a ministry of Magic employee and Gryffindorians become Aurors, it came with a few ideas. First it shouldn’t impact the game, so it might be either DLC, or unrelated at the end of the game where you could get into that phase after you do the main story (or graduate from Hogwarts) in any way, it shouldn’t interfere with the main game (because that would be a pig move) the added benefit is that you get a lot more if you have to replay HL to get into the other houses, but I reckon that most Harry Potter Fans have played it for every house already, so that makes the threshold rather slim. 

There was some idea where there were more jobs, and the idea was that one is perfect for the house you were in, but there would be the setting where Hufflepuff students could get a smaller function in Azkaban (the Ravenclaw choice) as would the Gryffindor student, on the other side we have Slytherin they are fit for the ministry, but there Gryffindor and Hufflepuff could get a smaller job. And so on, as such you get to play 3 jobs (not at the same time). It was merely a thought and it would enable larger lore to be created and given a larger setting towards the magical world. I took this idea and put it here for Avalanche Software to capture the idea and make it their own (if JK Rowling approves). I am adamant about the latter part of this as I consider JK Rowling to be the owner of the original IP, then as I got into this stage of Harry Potter there were more sides that I was thinking of, but in this case I will refrain from (for now) as I have no idea what Avalanche is doing. And I have no intent on getting into their fairway. 

In that same setting I had (before Microsoft bought it) an idea for Fallout 5, not the story, but a wrinkle to connect your Fallout Shelter profile to fallout 5 and it would transfer up to a shelter (your active shelter) to create that shelter in Fallout 5 as a standalone mission, and the programming needs to transfer that shelter into a 3D image and as it is a 2D presentation, there needs to be a setting where the corridors are automatically created, I had some ideas on that too and when you get that, you can have your own shelter in Fallout 5, with some additional safety (security) settings and a few security gimmicks. All part of the idea and that is merely what my mind was up to and there is a lot more, but I wanted to start the new year thinking of games, not on the political disasters playing now. This is not the day to make that happen, but gaming can be done any day of the week, including day 1 of 2026.

So have a great day and enjoy yourself either already in the new year of following us when you get there. Enjoy the festivities today.

Sharing was caring

That is the setting I am seeing, and the setting is available to nearly every make in the world. To see this you need to take notice of the following

This is a pop mart selling system. It does not matter if you like it, or if you loathe it, but the setting is that the device is there. Now consider that many malls have a ‘preferred’ offerer of ‘free internet’, now combine these two and you get a whole range of addition suppliers entering the same field. In the Australian Westfield malls the preferred ‘offerer’ of free internet is Optus and that is fine, but the others (like Telstra, Amaysim and Vodafone) might want to get into this field as well. Now consider that this setting allows for a build in router (and there is enough space for a large one), what is preventing these mall devices to adjust their cost (downwards) by adding a mobile offerer and set this device in its new setting in the same place. Optionally it allows for others like that ugly google firm to get in on the action as well. So what is stopping them? If the mall has ‘extreme’ measures to prevent this, than the setting become a discriminatory one. If not the setting is easy, and it will be up to these devices to get the right party interested and as I see it there should be little issues perhaps this is true for other countries, but the setting as it is seen like London, Dubai, Los Angeles and a few other places. There is a larger need to get creative with the options and this is one that (as I personally see it) too many left on the floor and I honestly (at present) do not see why this was done.

So, as we are seeing the need to double up on spaces and abilities, I am rather confused as to why this was left on the floor (perhaps there is a massive good reason), but that was the idea that boggled my mind this morning. And there was a need to make President Trump eat crow as he was having trolls making his 51st state case, which makes me give a few settings forward on that and I am still working on this. But the sweet spot is that the Department of Labour set the measurement to an expected 911,000 jobs that were double counted. I don’t think this is a big issue, America has after all a population of 340 million and an expected 4% unemployed, which is still 13.6 million and I do not believe that this is accurate because of the impacted losses of tourism in America as well as the secondary triggers it released. But that is for another day. For now we look at the setting of revenue and that is always a hit on demand, no matter where in the world you are. In the meantime, as I created (read: embellished) at least three gaming IP’s, I want to set that more into stone as it also gives a larger connection to the Real Estate IP I released almost 2 years ago and now that I see that it was near darn of perfect, the question becomes how to test this out. I had the sights of Monaco, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but that is a mere pilot setting. I reckon that the larger settings become London, New York and Los Angeles soon enough. But as I merely looked to the implementation in Dubai (made the most sense to me) where the 2025 revenue is about to become $693.53 billion, I reckon that showing an additional 2-3% would amount to $14-$21 million and achieving more than that would make it a surrounding success. And when that works places like Abu Dhabi and Monaco would be literally the next step. The setting is that these area’s are ‘decently’ contained and I have a little less issues with places like Zillow and Trulia. I have nothing against them, they merely make it harder to get traction, when the proof is given, they would want to implement this as soon as possible. And that would be fine by me. Getting the proof would be the hard part but as I see it, an achievable part.

So as I was given light to other solutions, the idea to implement these solutions could reign in a few markers as they all want to reduce cost and why not alter the view to share that success in a few ways. Well that is all for now, my Sunday is almost gone whilst Vancouver is still 2 hours away from Sunday. I can tell them that over the next 15 hours nearly nothing happens. Oh, yes, the ‘No King’ demonstration got a following of millions according to CNN (in 14 hours time) well have a great day and enjoy your coffee on Sunday. I did and will do so again soon.
