Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
Yep! Basically everyone is up with the exception of Russia and Switzerland. Russia has no spare capacity for exports and Switzerland immolated their military sector when they informed their partners they cannot send Swiss military equipment to war.
Perun did a great video on this: Global Arms Exports - Winners, losers & trends in the race to rearm
This is really more of a !asklemmy@lemmy.ml question. But, to answer it, no, you will need a friend willing to trade with you or an exchange service to do an exchange. Side note, they want ID info from you because there are tax implications when you sell capital goods. After a threshold, they report those capital sales to your government’s tax office.
The US has been hitting any Houthi poking their head above ground for the last year. Their available munitions and fighters are drastically reduced. You don’t see them landing helicopters on civilian tankers anymore, no, now you see B2 bombers blowing up their hideouts.
Hezbollah is even worse off. Israel compromised their supply lines and blew up huge portions of their leadership up and down the chain. They then were forced to meet in person, where even more of their leadership exploded via air-dropped bombs. No, they won’t recover for years. And this is while Israel launched a ground invasion destroying even more of their capability.
Those leaders are falling like flies; Iran’s entire proxy network has been systematically dismantled over the last year. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis are all a shadow of what they were very recently.
People pay good money for that ‘junk’. A quality internet connection basically anywhere in the world, including at sea and in very remote areas, is far from junk.
It will, however, add more users to the critical mass that has previously prevented Linux from being mainstream. Already we are seeing more and more software adoption. The average Facebook/word processor user can use Linux with no issues. And the average gamer can use Linux with minimal problems as well. Hell, the dominant PC gaming handheld runs Linux, not Windows. That itself is damning.
This was not the case 10 years ago, and it is clear what path is being forged.
Brother laser printers just work. They don’t have all the bs that inkjets have and they certainly don’t put you through all the crap HP makes one endure. Highly, highly recommend them.
The best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer is on sale.
The CEP on these ballistic missiles must be insane. Reminds me how the first SCUD missiles had a CEP of 3,000m. They just kinda chucked them in the general direction of something.
war is always the worst possible option
I’m currently living in a country that was freed from British colonialism via war. I’m damn happy that war happened, I’m damn happy we have our own country.
The fun problem with isolationism is it just allows problems to fester; then you have something much worse to deal with later. You may want to ignore the world, but the world won’t ignore you.
Yep! He is pretty popular and does some nice reviews. He generally likes pointing out negative aspects a bit more. But he is one of the more honest and amusing reviewers out there.
He is the same guy that used to do the Zero Punctuation reviews.
Their ability to make nukes has been delayed several times in the past, another delaying action is likely better than letting them get nukes.
Internet connected devices are a mistake. Not only is there non-existent security updates for the device, it means there is a timer on the life of the functions of the device. If a device cannot function offline, you will have a gimped (or completely dead) product soon.
functions like scheduling a charge will no longer work
Case and point. Why did the device ever need the internet to run a clock? It didn’t, but because it was ‘smart’, now it can’t operate a basic time function.
On further thought the glow could be from reentry and not from burning rocket motors. So, no I’m not sure.
Currently waiting to see the level of damage and more detailed reports.
From watching the videos, it looks like a ton of low-level missile intercepts. The rocket motors are still active, which isn’t what you see for ballistic missiles in their terminal phase.
Probably will be lots of damage due to debris though.
Yeah, I have zero desire to give them money. Luckily, there are solid options that aren’t them, notably the steam deck for portable gaming and pc/xbox/ps5 for home gaming.
Yeah, I think someone in Saudi Arabia looked at the expenses for The Line‡, and then put out a number that sounds nice and would help with that massive outflow; but like you said, didn’t trifle with a more realistic target. Meanwhile, Russia is pumping with whatever hasn’t been hit by a drone yet, as they can use every ruble they can get; depressing the price.
‡I still can’t get over how, instead of building up an industry in Saudi Arabia to vary the economy, instead they went for a vanity mega-project to … attract tourists?
What Iranian hospitals or schools did Israel hit?
