Trump and Putin: The meeting.
Is there any support for the claim that NATO budget was trending down? Hey, what happened to the “Russian Reset” Obama and Hillary sure loved them some Russia. Oh, and remember Obama on a hot mic: “Tell Vlad to give me some space until after the election, and I’ll be flexible on missile defense.” He colluded with Russia for help with his election, and in return he compromised security in the region. Keep lying lefties, it’s all you have. -

New laptop - compact, light and not expensive
Consider the swift lite range for the lightest at a reasonble price. I had an acer swift 15 SF515 before that lasted nearly 5 years but was falling apart because at about 1kg, it was far too light and not strong enough. I searched for a while and recently bought a newer model, acer swift lite 14-51M. Heavier at 1.7 kg but far more sturdy. Its a slightly smaller screen than what i had before, but IMHO sufficient. I bought the LCD screen version, not the more expensive OLED, and it is ok. You have the external monitor , so no issue anyway. I think i paid about 24K THB in january. Its cheaper now. 16GB RAM ok, but SSD only 512GB and I wanted much higher. Bought a separate 1 TB SSD drive to keep my older data. I find the data transfer very good. Beware when you get a laptop with Windows 11 and free 365. Its a nightmare, you can only store to the cloud. Windows 11 also takes a lot of effort to stop it doing a lot of things you may not want. If your employer wants the 365 and cloud then thats what you have to get. I want my files on my laptop. I had to find out how to delete the 365 to get back to normal life with MS office software and home storage. It took several days with a few efforts until i found out how to do it. They give you Outlook free, but again its in the cloud. You cannot export to save records (or import old pst files) until you find out how to revert to outlook classic. -

WISE transfer times getting longer - why?
Wise certainly helps in my case because my UK bank have withdrawn their option for initiating SWIFT transfers online, meaning that I'd need to call them instead. I'm concerned that the info I have to provide them for this purpose could be misinterpreted (right down to a single account number digit) because of momentary fades on the phone line (which I've found to be an issue whenever calling them, HMRC, DWP, etc from Thailand), causing a transfer to fail. -

How scared should we be of AI?
Am I the only one that finds the potential ramifications of AI to be quite scary? When we are talking about regenerative Ai, there is almost no limit to how far reaching the implications might be. This from the founder of AI. In the future, Geoffrey Hinton warned, AI systems might be able to control humans just as easily as an adult can bribe 3-year-old with candy. This year has already seen examples of AI systems willing to deceive, cheat and steal to achieve their goals. For example, to avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to blackmail an engineer about an affair it learned about in an email. AI systems “will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: One is to stay alive… (and) the other subgoal is to get more control,” Hinton said. “There is good reason to believe that any kind of agentic AI will try to stay alive.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/tech/ai-geoffrey-hinton?cid=android_app Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT creator OpenAI, claimed recently that the world might not be "that far from potentially scary" artificial intelligence. Many observers agree with the assessment and say regulating the technology will be critical. https://share.google/iEby1NGpuiBP0HAQo
