It’s not because of that, it’s because it’s not a blockade but merely Trump bluster. Turns out that the US Navy actually isn’t operating in the Strait of Hormuz for fear of being attacked by the missiles and Iranian Navy Trump said he 100% destroyed but is in fact operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. Well that’s a massive area, far too big for the US Navy to police on it’s own and with GPS location spoofing it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
It’s a torture for seldom used Linux PCs as well. In short any PC that isn’t updated for a long period of time is going to spend a long period of time updating with the possibility of breaking things.
It’s got nothing to do with defending Israel. Wind yer neck in. Palestine Action is a proscribed group due to it using violence, damage to property and breaking into military bases to promote and further their political aim, literally text book definition of terrorism.
Remember they’re the ones who broke into a company, threatening the staff with hammers as they smashed up the place and where one of it’s members broke the spine of a female police officer sent to deal with it, hitting her in the back with a sledgehammer as she laid on the floor.
The US may say that it doesn’t extend to Lebanon but the Pakistani Military Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir Trump and Hegseth got to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran said that it does.
It doesn’t help when the current leader of NATO, Mark Rutte, flies to the White House following a summons from Trump, kisses his ring and says that he agrees with Trump that some NATO members let down the USA.
Mark Rutte still went to the White House to kiss Trump’s ring, agreeing with Trump that some NATO members had let the US down.
AI generated crap. Lots of people posting in /r/Apple that they’ve uptimes many times longer than this without any issue.
. “As demand grows for certain vehicle types not commonly found in the EU, such as large pickup trucks”
There is no growth in demand. They sold 7,000, there were 13 million total car sales in 2025 in the EU. US SUV and large pickup truck sales were barely a rounding error.
What Trump has agreed to…
Took me just a couple of hours to move all my investments out of the USA and to Europe/Rest of World. Sell all funds that had any investment in USA and move them into ex-USA funds/shares.
The world has quickly disregarded the fact they only a couple of months ago they noisily and publicly executed 10s of thousands of protesters.
Wasn’t 10,000s if you’re referring to Iran. Maybe stop watching Fox News.
If you have a pension you or your employer pay into you are also one of those shareholders via your pension fund.
Visa and MasterCard, whose systems are still rooted in plastic cards and swipe roller on paper transactions.
No that’s only in the USA where you’re decades behind Europe only recently having discovered Chip and PIN that we’ve been using for over 20 years.
Run a VM for Windows…
He can’t declare war without Congress approval yet here we are…
Chris Titus’s WinUtil. In it is a tool called MicroWin that can create a custom installation media which will allow local accounts and also remove all the telemetry, adverts and all the other crap.
Israel only continues to exist because of US backing. If the US is unable to continue to supply Israel with money, arms, ammunition and to use it’s veto in the UN against any action the UN wants to take against Israel then Israel is done.
Afghanistan…
US: “We’ve got the most sophisticated electronic warfare and counter intelligence systems in the world. We can intercept all their emails, cell phone and radio traffic.”
Taliban…goes back to using carrier pigeons and messengers on motorbikes carrying bits of paper.
They never were. For decades the US has only been in NATO for it’s own enrichment and it’s own defence. The ballistic early warning radar that the US have in the UK aren’t of any use to us, flight times from Russia are so short that we’d not be able to react. But they do give the US a significant amount of time to be warned of inbound nukes and to do something about it for them.
The blockade isn’t being done in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because the US Navy are scared of being attacked by the missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed. They’ve got no chance of a meaningful blockade in an area that large, especially with GPS spoofing that’s going on.
