Civilian Plane Crash Possibly Related to Military GPS Jamming Test
August 4th, 2026Via: Wired:
At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

New Zealand: Biometric Payment Terminals
July 31st, 2026“like, wow”.
Via: Radio New Zealand:
Kiwis could soon be able to make purchases using their face or hand, without the need for a card.
EFTPOS New Zealand is rolling out new Verifone Victa biometric payment terminals that will allow people to pay with their faces or palms – without cards.
The new tech can also act as an age verification tool in stores that sell liquor and vapes, for example, or automatically load up people’s loyalty programmes.
Retail NZ chief executive Carolyn Young said when she first heard about the tech, she was “like, wow”.

Asked if there were valid privacy concerns around the tech, Young said there was “quite a lot of education and language that needs to be used so that everybody understands what it means”.

Thousands of Immigrants Pour into Spanish Territory in North Africa
July 30th, 2026Via: AP:
Spain will deploy its military to restore order at its border with Morocco in Ceuta after thousands of migrants streamed into the tiny Spanish territory.
The announcement comes after local authorities in Ceuta had asked the central government in Madrid for reinforcements to manage a border crisis that had been building up before boiling over on Thursday with large crowds of people breeching the border fence.
Spain’s government said Thursday evening it would send the Armed Forces to help the Civil Guard “to maintain security in the city of Ceuta.” It also announced that Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez would join Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and visit Ceuta Friday.
“The situation is absolute chaos,” Rachid Sbihi, head of the association that represents Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta, who police the border told The Associated Press. “It’s not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing,” he said, adding that the border had “totally collapsed.”
