Microsoft Adding an AI Key to PC Keyboards
January 4th, 2024Microsoft can pry my right CTRL key from my cold, dead fingers.
Via: Ars Technica:
Microsoft pushed throughout 2023 to add generative AI capabilities to its software, even extending its new Copilot AI assistant to Windows 10 late last year. Now, those efforts to transform PCs at a software level is extending to the hardware: Microsoft is adding a dedicated Copilot key to PC keyboards, adjusting the standard Windows keyboard layout for the first time since the Windows key first appeared on its Natural Keyboard in 1994.
The Copilot key will, predictably, open up the Copilot generative AI assistant within Windows 10 and Windows 11.
…
A quick Microsoft demo video shows the Copilot key in between the cluster of arrow keys and the right Alt button, a place where many keyboards usually put a menu button, a right Ctrl key, another Windows key, or something similar. The exact positioning, and the key being replaced, may vary depending on the size and layout of the keyboard.
New Epstein Documents: ‘Clinton Likes Them Young’
January 4th, 2024Update: What They’re NOT Telling You About Epstein:
—
This was being hyped for weeks ahead of the release, which was a good indication that it wouldn’t contain any bombshells.
And it doesn’t:
Ghislaine Maxwell, who in June 2022 was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for her role in the sex trafficking ring, has ‘nothing to say’ about the files, according to her attorney, Arthur Aidala.
Aidala however said the papers may disappoint many, who think they will reveal a conspiracy or previously-unknown names.
Mmm hmm.
Where’s all of the stuff the FBI confiscated?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for any of that to come out.
The entire situation has been effectively contained.

Which Country Ran Boston and D.C. ‘Honeypot’ Operation?
January 3rd, 2024Via: Daily Mail:
Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage ‘honeytrap’.
They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors.
But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme.

UK Church Replaces ‘Husband And Wife’ With More ‘Inclusive’ Terms
January 2nd, 2024Via: Modernity.news:
The Methodist Church in the UK has issued an ‘inclusive language’ guide, advising followers to refrain from using terms such as ‘husband’, ‘wife’, ‘brother’, and ‘sister’, reasoning that some people might find them “hurtful”.
The Christian Post reports that the guide lists extensive categories of people with whom Methodists are advised to use “sensitive and inclusive” language when addressing minorities that have been “marginalised and/or demonised by common culture.”
The guide notes that “As Christians, we need to have the courage for conversations that can sometimes be difficult, to recognise that we sometimes exclude people, to listen with humility, to repent of any hurtful language and to take care with how we listen and what we say or write, in the Spirit of Christ.”
It continues, “There is infinite variety in the way that God’s creation is expressed in human life. This is worth bearing in mind as we speak and write. Terminology such as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ may sound inoffensive but it makes assumptions about a family or personal life that is not the reality for many people.”
It adds that “The words ‘parent,’ ‘partner’, and ‘child’ are a good place to start. ‘Carer’ is also a neutral yet understandable way to refer to the primary carer of a child, who may or may not be their parent.”
Not ‘mother’ or ‘father’ then.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett Demands Regime Change in Iran, “The U.S. Should Be Leading The Effort”
January 1st, 2024You’re in shock, I know.
Flashback: “We might be witnessing the beginning of PNAC’s coup de grâce.”
Via: Information Liberation:
Israel is demanding America fight Israel’s war with Iran and “bring down” their “regime.”
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett wrote a column in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday titled, “The U.S. and Israel Need to Take Iran On Directly.”
…
Bennett writes in the WSJ:
The Iranian regime is at the center of most of the Middle East’s problems and much of global terror. Yet inexplicably, almost nobody is touching it. For the past 45 years, the regime has been the source of endless war, terror and suffering throughout the world. I’ve come to realize that enough is enough. The evil empire of Iran must be brought down.
[…] Iran constantly attacks Israel via its proxies in such places as Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Gaza and Yemen. Its brutal Quds unit exported terror around the globe. Iran’s terrorist proxies have waged war on every moderate element in the Middle East. They’ve attacked the Saudi oil company Aramco, the United Arab Emirates, the Kurds and Israel on many occasions. The most amazing part: Iran has largely gotten away with it.
[…] Israel’s national-security resources must be focused on weakening our primary enemy—Iran.
There are many ways to weaken Iran: empower domestic opposition, ensure internet continuity during riots against the regime, strengthen its enemies, increase sanctions and economic pressures. But Israel can’t and shouldn’t do this alone. The U.S. should be leading the effort. This doesn’t require a full-scale war, just as the demise of the Soviet Union didn’t result from total war. Rather, the Soviet Union collapsed from internal rot coupled with external pressure applied by the U.S.
Large Earthquake in Central Japan

A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit central Japan today triggeting mass evacuations, sparking fires and leaving residents trapped under the rubble of their homes – as others scrambled for higher ground amid warnings of a tsunami.
A total of 21 quakes above 4.0 magnitude rang out shortly after 4pm local time (7am UK time), and videos shared on social media and broadcast on Japanese TV showed how buildings collapsed in Suzu, a city close to the epicentre of the largest quake, with thick cracks appearing in roads.
Portland Poop Crisis Triggers Bacteria Outbreak Normally Found In Third World
December 31st, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
Woke Democrats have caused an absurd amount of problems for law-abiding residents in Portland, including a surge in violent crime, out-of-control open-air drug markets, and widespread homelessness. Parts of the metro area have been transformed into a third-world-like state because of disastrous progressive policies. Now, the combination of failed policies has sparked what appears to be a public health crisis.
A highly contagious bacteria called “shigella” is spreading across Portland. This bacteria is common in countries found in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia regions.
The New Blue Screen Of Death? “Your Vehicle Cannot Be Driven”
December 31st, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Gone are the days of Windows 95; heading into the year 2024, there’s an entirely new “blue screen of death” people apparently need to be watching out for – in their cars.
This week a photo went viral on social media purporting to show a Ford vehicle displaying a “your vehicle cannot be driven” message after a failed software update. “Please call customer support,” the screen urges.
A post on one car enthusiast forum questioned the authenticity of the screenshot, stating: “This is going around on Twitter, but I couldn’t find any mentions of it here.
Is this even real? The phone number, when Googled doesn’t turn up anything official.”
One person responded: “That’s the message you will see on the rare occasion that an OTA fails. It’s a special customer service phone number for dealing with failed OTAs. It’s from a user on Reddit, his car has since been fixed and is back to normal FYI.”
“If an OTA update fails in such a way that this screen would be necessary, they should automatically revert to the last working state and notify the user,” another user posted in response.
