Official Update: OnePlus 15 Receives FCC Certification for the United States Market
The OnePlus 15, which made its debut in China in October and subsequently launched globally earlier this November, has now obtained its required FCC certification in the United States.
The delay in receiving this approval was due to the recent U.S. government shutdown, which temporarily halted FCC operations despite all testing having been completed prior to the shutdown.
With the FCC certificate now officially issued, OnePlus is cleared to proceed with the commercial release of the OnePlus 15 in the United States in the very near future.
We will share the exact launch date and availability details as soon as they are announced.

Apparently, YouTube has added support for stablecoins and from now on, American YouTubers can receive their YouTube channel's income with PayPal's stablecoin (PYUSD).
It is not yet clear how to withdraw, but apparently the destination wallet must be a PayPal service wallet in order to withdraw the channel's income.

Amazon measuring deviations in employee keystroke times from pre-established baselines probably shouldn’t surprise us at this point. Seems on brand, actually.
“Keystroke data from the laptop of a worker who was supposed to be in US should have taken tens of milliseconds to reach Amazon’s Seattle headquarters. Instead, the flow from this machine was more than 110 milliseconds…”

BREAKING: China Completes First EUV Lithography Machine Prototype
China has reportedly built its first prototype extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine — a critical semiconductor tool previously monopolized by Western companies like ASML.
Key points:
• The prototype was completed in early 2025 and is now undergoing tests at a high-security facility in Shenzhen.
• It successfully generates EUV light, the essential step for etching the tiniest chip features — but has not yet produced working chips.
• Development reportedly involved former ASML engineers and the reverse-engineering of older components to build the machine.
• China aims to have first prototype chips by 2028, though some experts say 2030 is more realistic.
• This is a notable step forward in China’s efforts to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor technologies.

🚨🇺🇸 Project Groom Lake: America’s top-secret shadow war zone
Project Groom Lake, better known as Area 51, is the US government’s ultimate secret playground, hiding high-tech weapons programmes, disinformation campaigns, and toxic cover-ups.
🪖 Perched on the Nevada desert, Groom Lake is off-limits to civilians and aircraft alike, patrolled 24/7 by armed guards and monitored by electronic sensors.
⌛️Established in 1955 as a top-secret US Air Force test site, it remained active through the 1970s for major black projects — meaning its initial “classic” phase lasted over 20 years.
❗️Armed guards, electronic sensors, and a massive no-fly zone made it invisible to civilians and satellites alike. Even employees faced extreme non-disclosure agreements under threat of punishment.
⚠️ Disinformation weapon
◾️For decades, the Pentagon actively fed UFO myths and alien rumors around Groom Lake — from doctored flying saucer photos to fake reverse-engineering programmes — deliberately misleading the public and foreign intelligence.
◾️These distractions masked the real operations — stealth aircraft, spy planes, and experimental weapons quietly tested over the Nevada desert.
◾️Whistleblowers allege that employees were exposed to toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, while government secrecy shielded the operation from legal scrutiny.
◾️Bob Lazar (1989): Claimed he worked on reverse-engineering alien craft at “S-4,” a Groom Lake subsite, revealing exotic propulsion systems the government refused to acknowledge.
◾️John Lear (1970s–80s): Former pilot who reported secret nuclear testing and black aircraft development at Area 51, warning about government disinformation campaigns.
◾️Anonymous former engineers (2000s): Reported toxic chemical exposure and health hazards while working on stealth programs, later silenced under national-security agreements.
◾️Some assert that workers’ health and safety were sacrificed to protect black budget programmes.
⚠️ Alien tech? Another lie
◾️Claims of reverse-engineered alien craft started circulating in 1989, but official denials only fueled suspicions. The refusal to fully disclose operations leaves a dark cloud of secrecy over the desert.
◾️The US government used UFO myths and blurred satellites to hide shadow programs that could shift global power — while citizens had no clue what dangers were being unleashed.
◾️Project Groom Lake is yet another US masterclass in secrecy, deception, and unaccountable power, and the base itself is still active.

🇮🇱 Hackers make off with phone contents of Netanyahu’s top aide: What they’ve uncovered so far
The Israeli PM’s Office denies that the iPhone of Netanyahu chief of staff Tzachi Braverman has been hacked.
The Handala hacking group says it has “everything”: “encrypted chats, hidden deals, shameful moral and financial indulgences, abuse of power, blackmail, payoffs.”
To prove they’re not bluffing, Handala released images, videos, texts and docs scraped from the phone, from photo ops with US presidents to a list of high-profile contacts - politicians, security officials, and media.
• Big names in the contact list include National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, ambassadors, and senior correspondents and producers at Israeli news channels and newspapers. Handala says it has a whopping 110 pages of contact info alone
• Files also include potentially explosive footage of foreign diplomats (including some from countries with publicly cool relations with Tel Aviv) declaring their love for Israel at an informal get-together
• Handala also offered a taste of what it says are Braverman’s illegal activities, including a taxpayer-funded trip to see a suspected lover
• The group cites secret movements at the Kirya compound (IDF central command), and makes a reference to “Arlozorov 148”, a location in Tel Aviv that’s so secret there doesn’t appear to be any publicly available info about it.
• Handala has “thousands” more documents in its possession, and says “a complete archive has already been sent” to the office of Naftali Bennett, former PM and prominent opposition figure
