Israel has given final approval for a multibillion-dollar deal to buy two new combat squadrons of advanced F-35 and F-15IA fighter jets from United States manufacturers Lockheed Martin and Boeing, the Ministry of Defence says. Israel’s Ministerial Committee on Procurement signed off on the deal as the initial phase of a 350-billion-shekel ($119bn) programme to boost the country’s armed forces and “strengthen readiness ahead of a demanding decade for Israeli security”, it said on Sunday.

“Alongside immediate wartime procurement needs, ‌‌we have a responsibility to act now to secure the [military’s] edge 10 years from now and beyond,” Defence Ministry Director General Amir Baram said. The continuing US-Israel war on Iran “reinforced just how critical the US-Israel strategic relationship is and how essential advanced air power remains”, he added. Under the deal, Israel would buy a fourth F-35 squadron from Lockheed Martin and a second squadron of F-15IA fighter jets from Boeing. In December, Boeing was given an $8.6bn ⁠⁠contract for Israel, including 25 new F-15IAs and an option for 25 more.

ZEReader is an open-source hardware and software E-Reader platform. Originally developed as my bachelor’s thesis in electrical engineering, it has since evolved into a dedicated hobby project. The goal is to create a hackable and customizable, microcontroller-based E-Reader platform.

Time to get the crabs ready????

Some interesting phrasing that I noticed in the new Chinese game Neverness to Everness.

This is how you casually introduce people to the difference between personal property and private property. By simply normalising the language surrounding it through the soft power you create selling highly oversexualised content to the west.

An american studio would simply have said "if you own a home" here and any attempt by workers to inject that language into the game would be spotted and removed by management.
