Then they came for the Supreme Court, and the Democrats voted for Clarence Thomas, et al.
Then they came for the election finance law, and the Democrats said, "We really should do something about that."

Keep our Apple data encrypted
It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.38 Degrees
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
The UK government took to revisionist tactics and wiped its advice for lawyers and barristers to use Apple encrypted services.

The largest camera ever built for astrophysics (3200-megapixels, >3000 kg) was installed this week at the Rubin Observatory at Cerro Pachón in Chile.
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera, the final major component of the Rubin Observatory's Simonyi Survey Telescope, was transported to the summit in May 2024.
After a few more months of testing, first light is expected around 4 Jul 2025.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Installs LSST Camera on Telescope
Using the largest digital camera in the world, Rubin Observatory will soon be ready to capture more data than any other observatory in historywww.noirlab.edu
The Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time LSST Camera is the largest camera ever constructed for astronomy. It is a large-aperture, wide-field optical camera, capable of viewing light from the near UV to near infrared wavelengths.
Length: 3.73 m
Height: 1.65 m
Weight: 2,800 kg
Pixels: 3.2 billion
Wavelength: 0.32–1.06 μm
Filters: 6 (u-g-r-i-z-y)
Field of view = 3.5° (moon = 0.5°)

The focal plane of the Vera C. Rubin telescope consists of 189 4kx4k charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors, arranged in a total of 21 3-by-3 square arrays. The system is cooled to about -100 °C to minimize noise.
The 3.5° field of view of the 64 cm wide array is 40 times the area of the full moon in the sky.
