Russian military correspondents report that Ukrainian forces have begun using Israeli-made HiSKY SmartLITE satellite communication terminals on long-range attack drones operating over Russian territory.
According to the reports, the terminals are not a direct equivalent to Starlink, as they offer significantly lower bandwidth and are not designed for real-time video transmission. However, they are reportedly capable of transmitting telemetry and remote-control commands, including flight-route changes and mission adjustments.
The reported advantage is that HiSKY terminals can connect to compatible satellites operated by partner companies, potentially providing coverage over Russian territory where Starlink is unavailable.
The alleged deployment on Ukrainian attack drones has not been independently confirmed, and the system’s operational performance under electronic warfare conditions remains unclear.

F*CKING INSANE. A free Claude skill just turned one picture into the most detailed 3D hummingbird model i've ever seen and it took ONE prompt.
i still can't believe nobody is charging for this.
the build:
> the picture gave it the look and the bird itself is three.js: 300 small parts under the plates, 7 glass vanes on each wing
> opus checked its own still against the picture first and only started the film once the two lined up
> 1.7 seconds in the wing unlocks at the root and flips in the air while the whole shot drops to 0.4x
> the eye unthreads in 4 rings and a 10-blade iris opens behind them
> the beak sleeve pulls back and a 1.8 mm probe slides 24 mm out past it
> a new part opens every 2 seconds and the explode spins the other way, rising into a pass from above
the next render i hand it is a lot nastier and it goes up here whatever it does.

I wrote a free, open-source desktop app for Aruba switches (AOS-CX, AOS-S, Instant On). SSH only. Shows what's down, what's misconfigured and how it's wired, with VLAN edits, an LLDP map and firmware updates. Go + Wails, Mac and Windows.

Reddit user u/Alternative_Lab_4441 trained a FLUX Kontext LoRA to turn low-res Google Earth screenshots into high-res drone photos.
This LoRA turns basic satellite images into professional-quality aerial shots
And yes, it’s free to download!
we have signed a deal for an additional 4.5 gigawatts of capacity with oracle as part of stargate. easy to throw around numbers, but this is a _gigantic_ infrastructure project.
