Not to call you stupid, but you are stupid if you point any laser to a plane, specially at night!! During the day, there isn't much issue but during the night can be very dangerous.
Even weak lasers can travel far, and during the night, our eyes open more to receive more light and see. The fact that a weak can reach the plane and light it enough to cause temporary blindness to pilots, that guess, need their eyes to read all the info and control the plane.

If the plane is high enough, usually isn't much a issue, pilots can recover and the laser may be weak enough by the distance, but during landing and take off this is extremely dangerous. And notice that Landing and Take off isn't just a few meter of the ground, it is until you reach a high enough altitude and speed, so may high enough that some people think it is ok to play. FAA bans the lasers this exactly because of all the variables, starting by the laser power to the altitude and direction of the plane, there are so many things that you have to account for a normal person to even notice. So it is much simpler and safer to ban at all times. Yet there are more and more people doing this joke.

The same with drones, at high altitudes can be a problem, but during take off or landing, they can extremely dangerous... but some people think it is fine to "take a picture"

well, at least one of those was actually really a weather balloon... but panic is always the best choice for many officials

That will be the workaround, send 100 balloons and one drone with drugs... while everyone is looking high to the balloons, send the drone low and no one will notice! :D

Or send the drone attached to the balloon, only after it pops (ie: taken down), it will be activated after a few seconds and fly away

hey, it started slowly... in the first years (1933) they were just forbidden to work in some places... nothing special... then the list grow bigger and bigger
in 1935, Jews lost the Germany citizenship
at the very end of 1941 the Holocaust is ordered, starts being implemented in the first half of 1942

So yes, 9 years of slowly making a group as outcast, without rights and inferior... not much different ... detentions centers are just to keep "every one safe", just like the Nazi Ghettos

not for the screens, but it matters of the other components...

cheap TVs have usually cheap components and weaker hardware
Sony and LG have usually good components and good hardware

The cheap ones last 3-5 years, the good ones 10 or more years... 2 cheap TVs are more expensive than 1 expensive TV for the same time frame...

While renewing a tv every few years you get all the new things... recent trend is that new TVs are full of new AI/smart/tracking/ads sh*t ... so yep, a good TV from 2 years ago that last a long time is probably the best option ... just don't let any update run, to add those useless "features"

also quality components... cheap tv break more often due to cheap components, Sony (and LG) are the few last ones that still use good components and that give a much higher change of lasting much longer.

The screen are all the same in most brands, the rest is what make them apart... now if that extra price justify the longer life or not, is up to anyone choice. Samsung clearly designed TV that have short live span as they know people will buy a new one instead of repairing the old one and have still a high change of choosing Samsung ... but in the end, 2 Samsung TV cost more than one sony TV

as i said, if the 2 states don't try to enforce right now borders, i think it is possible, borders will take years for sure, with slowly building more trust between parties

PLA is trying to push international recognition all over the place, it is not yet a UN country because USA is blocking it and consider a success the recent wave of recognition... but nothing matter until Israel also agree with it

Lets hope Hamas get weaken enough and that the extremist get out of the government on the Israel side, to open some door for restarting talks

i just said what i read about the issue, your version seems more clear and logic, IMHO!!
I also may have wrongly expressed too strong that Italian was trying to censor the world, but i was trying to show that the problem wasn't a pure Italian problem.

Anyway, what i read was that Italian requests were requesting the DNS entry to be removed from all cloudflare servers because of the risk of "vpn" usage to bypass the order. Cloudflare CEO was one of the sources for that... if they are lying and/or exaggerating their side, i actually do not know and probably only cloudflare and whoever is making the requests to cloudflare will have all the info

Thank you for your reply and help clarifying this!

correct, thank for clarifying this!

They exist, the radical noise make them harder to notice, and even when they are noticed, they have weak positions and can even risk their life:
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/0...

Radicals are not just bad for the other side, they are also bad to their own side moderated people, as they don't accept any other option other than their own.

https://apnews.com/article/pal...

notice:
Ahead of next week’s conference, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas wrote a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron (...) The letter condemns the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack that triggered the war and calls for a release of all hostages still held in Gaza.

This is not a radical posture, that wants to destroy Israel, this is a moderated posture that ALSO thinks Hamas went too far and is trying to cool down Palestinian position. As there are moderated people in the Israel, that want peace, even if that mean giving up the settlers taken land, there are also moderated people in the Palestinian side that can accept Israel existence and borders (again, borders will ALWAYS be a very hard point, so baby steps will be needed for both sides)

The radicals on each side only want the radical position to exist, they sabotage moderated positions on every attempt, that is why the PLA moderated people are in hard and weak positions... but they DO exist. But again, every time a radical action is taken from one side, the radicals on the other side gain strength and the moderated get weaker, lose support. Both side need to care about the moderated positions and descale and weaken the radical groups.

I know, it is easy to say it, but hard to accomplish. Many people think that "winning" (winner takes it all) can bring peace, but history show that just pauses conflicts, if the problems aren't solved, radicals will keep reinvent themselves and keep causing problems later on. Just look to history to see many examples of this. Hey, probability is low, but thinks if someway Israel lost a war and were occupied by Palestinians (or any other power if that matter)... would then resist as much as they could and dead people resisting would be martyrs for those remaining!?

the CEO actually posted in twitter that leaving Italy is one of the options (as stopping all free services for Italy and stop offering support and free service to the Italian Winter Olympics)... other option is complaining to Trump, so he "talks" with the Italian Government

Notice that a full court order is not the problem, that they would accept, they are refusing a DMCA like request that some groups (usually football related) do, that were allowed to do by a half-ass law, without any court order or verification... So those groups can say slashdot.org is bad, everyone have to block slashdot all over the world, without any fallback, challenge, approved by any judge, anything at all. The law may have been pressured to stop football IPTV, but can be applied to anything

The problem here is that cloudflare is asked to remove the pirate DNS not only from Italy, but from all world!
and it is not a court order, is a half ass rule that some groups can make the request just because they want to... think in to the DMCA USA requests, but with even less oversight and trying to apply to all world, not just the country

cloudflare contest the DMCA, of course they would also contest this Italian version

that was what i meant, NATO support Denmark, not supporting the USA... sorry for not making that clear :)

The radicals in PLA want Israel gone, just like most muslin around Israel (even against their own government/kings)
The moderated PLA and surrounding governments know that is impossible and accept that Israel do exists and is there to stay

The problem is exactly that, radical actions from Israel power the radicals in the muslin side (groups, countries, people) , stealing strength from the moderated people. ISIS exist because many muslin people feel they are being ignored and discarded. On the Israel side, radicals also gain more power from hamas actions, but in much less extend, as even without Hamas crimes, Settlers think they have the divine right to take over whatever they want.

>The PLA won't accept a two-state solution, they want Israel gone. Given how much you are defending the PLA, I think you want Israel gone, too.

Hey, don't play the Anti-Semitic card here, i defend both moderated sided and i dislike both radical sides exactly because they keep ruining any peace attempt!

Just because someone points a finger when someone do bad things , doesn't make that the first one hates the second and wants it to die or disappear. That is the radical view. People point fingers to try to improve the other person actions!

Most people know what is bad and good, the grey zone is always harder and personal, but almost everyone in the world think that BOTH Israel (leaders, radicals and army not exactly all Israel people) and Hamas ( globally, there are too few moderated there for any good thing to happen) did bad things.

that no one can really know

that is the side effect of rigged elections, either by boycott or by false reports, no one knows the true extend of the lie until you have fail elections... but yes, i suspect he would not win a fair election now
