Nepal’s Gen Z revolt toppled corrupt leaders, but now the army and monarchy loom as “saviors.” Burning down a rotten system risks reviving the very powers that once strangled democracy. #NepalCrisis #GenZRevolt #MyPiece Here is my latest piece scroll.in/article/1086...
Nepal’s Gen Z revolt risks swapping rot for rule by army and king
The remedy is broader participation, cleaner rules, and independent oversight, not a return to the monarchy or martial rule.

How can any country depend on Starlink when Elon Musk has clearly showed he can shut off access whenever he feels like it?
Musk ordered shutdown of Starlink satellite service as Ukraine retook territory from Russia
A previously unreported order by Elon Musk to cut satellite communications over a portion of Ukraine disrupted a counteroffensive by Kyiv in the autumn of 2022. Reuters investigated the billionaire's order and its implications for countries increasingly reliant on his Starlink internet service.

With less than 6 months until Australia's teen social media ban kicks in (!) we aren't much closer to knowing how it will work.

I wrote what needs to happen before the ban, what people think it'll look like, and why we're going to find out some details in the next 2 weeks.

Vastaus: palestiinalaisten yhteiskunnan lopullinen syrjäyttäminen, palestiinalaisten etninen puhdistaminen osasta miehitettyjä alueita ja Palestiinan valtion perustamisen estäminen.

I believe it. Now that I’m experimenting with non-Apple/Google apps, CarPlay is not cooperating.

If I back out of Here WeGo to change a song (in Deezer), CarPlay takes Here off the sidebar and replaces it with Apple Maps, so I have to go to the app screen to reopen it, taking my eyes off the road.
"...the biggest negative impact on drivers’ reactions to hazards came when using Apple CarPlay by touch. Reaction times were nearly five times worse than when a driver was at the drink-drive limit, and nearly three times worse than when high on cannabis."
Rejoice! Carmakers Are Embracing Physical Buttons Again
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its sen...
