"China’s communist leadership clearly believes that scientific dominance will deliver all sorts of boons to their nation. They have bet the growth of their economy, the strength of their military, and the health of their citizenry on this quest."

A very long Open Source Research piece on the disappearances of a possibly UAP-associated General, the researchers under him who died and disappeared, and then the spate of strange deaths of various researchers whose work could connect to the field.

The Iranian negotiators are very different and “strange.” They are “begging” us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only “looking at our proposal.” WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty! President DJT

Google’s Android Sideloading Will Now Require 10 Steps And A 24-Hour Wait

The ten-step process includes a mandatory 24-hour waiting period for something Android users have done with a single toggle since the platform launched.

Google has detailed what it calls an “advanced flow” for installing apps from unverified developers once mandatory developer registration kicks in later this year.

The process requires enabling developer mode, surviving multiple scare screens, restarting your device, and then waiting a full day before you can do what you used to do freely.

That’s the concession. The original plan, announced last August, was blunter: no more installing apps from developers who haven’t handed Google their legal name, address, email, phone number, and in some cases a copy of their government ID.

After developers and users pushed back , Google said it would preserve a path for “power users.” This is that path.

Here’s what the path actually looks like. Tap your build number seven times to enable developer mode. Navigate to Settings, find Developer Options, scroll to “Allow Unverified Packages,” and flip the toggle. Answer a screen that asks if you’re being coerced. Enter your PIN. Restart your phone. Wait 24 hours. Return to the menu. Scroll past more warnings. Choose “Allow temporarily” (seven days) or “Allow indefinitely.” Confirm you understand the risks. Now you can install apps.

That’s ten steps, including a mandatory overnight delay, to do something Android users have always been able to do with a single settings toggle.

Google isn’t hiding that the friction is intentional. Matthew Forsythe, Google’s director of product management and app safety, promised a “high-friction” process earlier this year, and he delivers.

Each additional step is a calculated bet that some percentage of users will give up, decide it’s not worth it, and stick to verified apps. That’s what “high-friction” means. Fewer people sideload.

... The same logic that justifies the waiting period also justifies, in principle, restricting sideloading further, requiring government ID to unlock it, or removing the option entirely. The justification doesn’t have a natural stopping point, and the friction doesn’t have a floor...

Keep Android Open, the developer-led campaign opposing the verification program, looked at the advanced flow and called it what it is: not a solution. The full installation process runs through Google Play Services rather than the Android OS itself. That means Google can modify, restrict, or remove it at any time without an OS update and without any user consent. The friction level today is not the floor. Whatever access Google provides, Google can take away, tighten, or redesign without asking.

Iranian Embassy mocks Trump with toy controller after he says he'll control Strait of Hormuz jointly with Ayatollah

"I received a generous invitation to deliver the conference banquet after-dinner speech at The 2026 IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT) in Liverpool, UK, this week. Liverpool’s home town hero, Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, was a popular author, a talented inventor, and a genuine wireless pioneer. I’m sure there are experts in Liverpool who know far more about the details of Oliver Lodge’s career than I do. However, what better way to illustrate the global and international significance of your home town hero than to bring in someone from outside the country to testify to that fact? That’s where I come in."

‘This essay walks through the document line by line, and shows how it independently confirms everything documented in the previous Epstein essays on this Substack — from a source produced three years before those essays were written.

The ultimate implication here — beyond confirming Epstein's status as a switchboard operator — is that a significant portion of the development finance industry is built on a foundation it would prefer not to have examined.’

Dimora and Ben Gurion

The mainstream media is silent. The Internet is reporting three strikes on Dimora, including by a Khorramshahr-4 deep penetration missile, as well as a third strike on Ben Gurion that demolished the repairs that were just about completed from the previous two strikes. I don’t think we can conclude that the reports are necessarily accurate, […]
