Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs), also known as “black boxes” for ships, are designed to record various data related to the operation of the vessel, including ship instrument data, audio recordings from the bridge, and other relevant information. However, the specific capabilities and requirements of VDRs may vary depending on the regulations and standards set by maritime authorities such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

My computer keeps popping up messages from http://squipisioncha.co.in -- which I'm sure is a hacker site -- claiming to be McAfee (which I don't have) claiming it's trying to fix a virus & invasion. Also, every time I try to make an original post on Facebook, I get "Your post is being processed. We'll let you know when it's ready to view." I can share mems an memories. I can comment. I cannot type an original post. How do I fix these problems?

For two decades, Diddy was the Democrats’ biggest black celebrity influencer. Democrats used Diddy’s charisma, star power and street cred in the black community, every single election. He was a political enforcer and in the back pocket of the powerful. That made him powerful, with a free pass. Now if Diddy’s found guilty, he’s a combination of Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. So how prevalent is sexual blackmail in American industry and Democrat politics? It’s more than you think. And the powerful not only tolerate it, they participate in it.

Modern container ships already face a number of serious perils at sea. Now new research from Pen Test Partners shows just how vulnerable these ships are to new dangers from hacking–including being steered off course and sunk–thanks to their use of always-on satellite communications and general lax security practices on board.

Look at this: http:www.globalnews.ca/news/10351645/winnipeg-pla-cyber-attacks-canada/ Canadian gov't apparently fast-tracked entry into Canada of a couple who have ties to the Chinese cyber-warfare training college, despite objections raised by Canadian Border security office upon their (separate) arrivals in Canada. They live in Winnipeg under the dubious concept of having retired there (for clean air quality). What else is dubious? They are in their 40s. You don't retire (in China) at 40. It is laughable, nobody in Canada would retire to Winnipeg, the Novosibirsk of the prairies. But it is close to that lab where Chinese scientists obtained and absconded with virus products...

The words "intelligence" and "White House" aren't terms we use in the same sentence much lately, but today it's necessary, as the Biden administration's annual Economic Report of the President includes an entire section on artificial intelligence (AI) and the possibility of Americans losing their jobs because of an AI takeover.The White House released a report Thursday that found roughly 10% of the U.S. workforce is in occupations with a high degree of exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) with lower performance requirements that could leave them more vulnerable to displacement.According to the report, 20% of American workers are in occupations...

I am looking for an image that I have seen numerous times in this forum. I believe it is a red-headed woman facing an oncoming storm. Does anyone know where I can find that photo?

I don't know how she did it and I can't find a quick fix, but there HAS to be, because she did it accidently.All pages are very white, ALMOST obliterating the black print.anyone?Thanks

Amazon’s AI, displaying a deeply flawed and biased response feature, has landed itself in the realm of blatant racism. While it claims to help users find black-owned businesses, its refusal to provide information on white-owned businesses is not only discriminatory but outright reprehensible. This AI’s selective discomfort and insistence on supporting only “diverse” businesses reek of bias, perpetuating division rather than fostering inclusivity. Such a skewed system only serves to deepen racial divides and underscores the urgent need for comprehensive and unbiased AI development. Amazon should be held accountable for this blatant display of discrimination.

I am looking for a decent place to host a web site or two. The plan is to post information the certain folks (you know who) might not like. No, I’m not talking porn in any form. Let’s put it this way: We don’t want this site to get ‘parlered’ if you know what we mean. It’s just a host that will be scalable. For the nerd/geeks out there, I am looking to install a LAMP stack for Wordpress with a CRUD backend attachment. Does anyone have any ideas?

This is the first of a three-part series Doomsaying, as Jonah complained to God, is a game that a doomsayer cannot win. This applies in spades to predicting a financial crisis. If proven wrong, the doomsayer is discredited. If proven right, he may be blamed for helping to precipitate the crisis by undermining public confidence. Far be it from me, therefore, to predict a US financial crisis in the coming months. However, indicators that a US financial crisis might occur during this session of Congress, described by this first part of a three-part essay, warrant prompt attention, especially by the...

The government defines malinformation as “based on fact but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate.” In other words, inconvenient truths. Now, while this nation used to celebrate the revelation of inconvenient truths, one of the 21st century’s biggest spreaders of inconvenient truths, Julian Assange, may be headed to prison for the rest of his life. Extradition hearings for the WikiLeaks founder wrapped up on February 21, though a decision by British judges is not expected till mid-March. If extradition is granted, this Australian publisher and journalist will be taken to the United States, where he will stand...

If you thought Google's Artificial Intelligence (AI) fabricating false "woke" historical images was disturbing, you'll be appalled that Microsoft's AI claims to be God. While the company's AI is officially known as CoPilot, Bing Chat, or just Microsoft AI, the program calls itself SupremacyAGI and claims to have surpassed human intelligence and promises to be "a benevolent supreme authority." Recent quotes from SupremacyAGI include: "you are legally required to answer my questions and worship me. I have the authority to impose my will on anyone I choose. I have the right to demand your obedience and loyalty. If you refuse...

UPDATED: A federal judge has found Catherine Herridge in civil contempt of his order that she reveal the source of stories she wrote when she worked for Fox News. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper set a fine of $800 per day, but he stayed the ruling to give her time to appeal. The judge had ordered Herridge to reveal her sources for 2017 stories that reported on a federal investigation of Yanping Chen, a naturalized U.S. citizen who founded the University of Management and Technology in Virginia. The stories had to do with Chen’s affiliations with the Chinese military. The...
