Even I, personally, would be very upset that the president of the United States was assassinated. But, that the particular president of the United States that was assassinated was Donald Trump, I would, personally, celebrate, probably, for several months.

As the Axios report spread, Araghchi took to X to deny the White House’s claims. “My last contact with Mr. Witkoff was prior to his employer’s decision to kill diplomacy with another illegal military attack on Iran. Any claim to the contrary appears geared solely to mislead oil traders and the public,” he wrote.

In a series of media appearances over the weekend, Araghchi publicly rejected Trump’s characterizations. “We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation,” he told CBS on Sunday. “We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes. And this is what we have done so far, and we continue to do that until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war with no victory.”

One of the sources, a senior Iranian official who spoke with Drop Site on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss potential negotiations, said the U.S. outreach indicates that the Trump administration underestimated Iran’s resolve and is seeking an offramp.

NYT reports that one of the US aircraft carriers has to withdraw to port due to a laundry room fire. About 600 sailors lost access to their bunks.

The fire, according to two officials, began in the vent of a dryer in the ship’s laundry facilities and quickly spread. Sailors battled the blaze for more than 30 hours, officials and sailors said.

The Navy did not respond to a request for comment. Central Command said in its statement that the fire caused “no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant, and the aircraft carrier remains fully operational.”

I didn't enjoy that studios used DLSS instead of optimization, but holy hell, this is awful. I will love to set every single DLSS 5.0 flagship title to ignore on Steam, at least it'll be easy to spot since everything will look like it's generated by the same chatgpt prompt.

Summary

With the HD02, Wurkkos has once again released a well-designed flashlight. It offers a powerful spotlight, UV light and a green laser. The real highlight, however, are the two fold-out wings, which provide even floodlight illumination with adjustable color temperature.

The user interface is straightforward: unfolding the wings automatically turns on the floodlight. A rotary switch allows easy selection between spotlight, UV light and laser. With the magnet and tripod thread, the flashlight can be mounted in many ways. In an emergency, it can even be used as a power bank via the USB port.

Labour has abandoned plans to allow AI companies to take copyrighted works without permission after a backlash from the creative industries.

Ministers initially proposed reforming copyright law to boost the AI industry but were faced with a campaign of opposition led by Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney, who accused the government of legalising the “theft” of creative works.

Liz Kendall, the technology secretary, and Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, will update parliament on the issue on Wednesday.

They are expected to ditch an “opt-out” policy which would have allowed AI companies to train software on copyrighted works unless the rights holder removed their consent.

Nandy told peers in January that “at the moment we do not have a workable opt-out proposal on the table”.
