Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians | Israel | The Guardian
theguardian.com/world/2025/sep

Equipped with Azure’s near-limitless storage capacity and computing power, Unit 8200 had built an indiscriminate new system allowing its intelligence officers to collect, play back and analyse the content of cellular calls of an entire population. The project was so expansive that, according to sources from Unit 8200 – which is equivalent in its remit to the US National Security Agency – a mantra emerged internally that captured its scale and ambition: “A million calls an hour.”
According to several sources, the enormous repository of intercepted calls – which amounted to as much as 8,000 terabytes of data – was held in a Microsoft datacentre in the Netherlands. Within days of the Guardian publishing the investigation, Unit 8200 appears to have swiftly moved the surveillance data out of the country. According to sources familiar with the huge data transfer outside of the EU country, it occurred in early August. Intelligence sources said Unit 8200 planned to transfer t…

I'm still learning #OpenSCAD. This part, the lower knuckle for the four-bar linkage of the #Tricycle, isn't as smooth and aerodynamic as I'd like. But it's good enough, certainly for now.
The blue colour is just to make it easier to work with; the finished part will probably be c…

A CAD drawing of the lower knuckle of the four bar linkage. The body of the knuckle is an aerofoil teardrop in plan, with a radiused top and a rounded bottom. A boss on the outer (left) side surrounds the hole for the wheel axle. On the inner (right) side is an aerofoil stub to which the aerofoil section lower bar will be bonded. In the top of the knuckle is a radiused cavity in which the pivot on the lower end of the lateral bar will rotate. The part, which is coloured blue with yellowish-gre…
A view of the same part from in front. The hole for the shaft on which the lateral bar pivot will rotate can be seen.
The same part viewed from the lower front left.
The part in context. The lateral bar, wheel, and brake disk can all be seen, as can the lower bar, although this doesn't yet correctly join to the knuckle.

The dismissals,

One of our fave local places to go to for a walk in autumn. This year the colors were especially exquisite...
(Beech forests like these covered two thirds of Germany, but by now they've been dramatically reduced, not just due to logging. Also rising temperatures have been increasing their mortality and general vulnerability...)
#SilentSunday

A colorful autumn beech forest in reds, oranges, yellows and greens, illuminated by the afternoon sun. Pines and bushes in the shade in the foreground, cold light there already. In between is a small forest lake, its surface completely still and mirror-like, reflecting the colorful trees. Altogether, the view feels a little like a painting...

I am going to push our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal hard today as the situation in Gaza manages somehow to get even worse just when you thought it couldn’t.

We’re not the only ones trying to help families in North Gaza evacuate to relative safety in the South.
@…’s efforts were an inspiration for Gaza Verified. And their appeal is struggling.

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that their campaigns are extremely stagnant and wanted to find a way to direct steady help to them. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support.
