Could Dooku Have Been Behind The Clones’ Order 66 Programming?

Posted on 04/06/2023

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi delves into the canon continuity’s Count Dooku and his gradual fall to the dark side, but it may also explain his involvement in the infamous Order 66’s programming. Order 66 is the macabre masterstroke of Palpatine’s plot to destroy the Jedi Order and replace the Republic with his autocratic Empire, compelling the otherwise altruistic Clone Troopers to assassinate their Jedi leaders (who they nearly always befriended) via brainwashing. The plotting of Order 66 and the brainwashing protocols of the Clones’ control chips may have been devised by Dooku, however.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

In the third episode of Tales of the Jedi, “Choices,” Dooku and Mace Windu are investigating the death of Jedi Master Katri on Raxus Secundus. Dooku correctly hypothesizes that Katri was killed by a group of Raxan security guards, noting that the Jedi are not easily ambushed unless their assailants are people they trust. This perfectly aligns with the effectiveness of Order 66, which would understandably suggest that Dooku at least had a degree of influence on Order 66’s programming, though how aware he was of Palpatine’s whole plan is another matter.

North Korea Sees More Use of Cell Phones, WiFi Networks

Posted on 30/05/2023

SEOUL (Reuters) – Up to 7 million North Koreans use cell phones daily, and WiFi networks have sharply expanded in recent years as the mobile devices have increasingly become a key tool for market activity in the isolated country, US researchers said on Tuesday.

Martyn Williams and Natalia Slavney of the Washington-based Stimson Center’s 38 North program say their latest study on digital communications in North Korea, which includes an analysis of satellite imagery and a survey of about 40 defectors who fled the North between 2017 and 2021, shows a stable rise in cellular subscribers.

Since 3G network services began in 2008, the number of users has risen to 6.5 million to 7 million, more than a quarter of North Korea’s 25 million population, the researchers said.

“More than 90% of the people who participated in the survey reported using the phone at least daily, and most of the calls were made to family members and traders,” Slavney told a briefing.

They showed an estimated coverage map of North Korea’s cellular network by identifying base stations, accompanying antennas and solar panels from satellite images, which Williams said suggested the service is available not only

Lifetime movie ‘An Amish Sin’ aims to shed light on child sexual abuse victims: ‘There’s always hope’

Posted on 24/05/2023

Joanna Yoder is hopeful that a new Lifetime film will raise awareness on a case she’s been trying to spotlight for years.

On Saturday, the network is airing a scripted drama titled “An Amish Sin,” a film in which she served as a consultant. The movie, inspired by true stories, tells the story of an Amish teen who refuses to marry the man who abused her as a child. She goes to escape her insular community and makes her way to a neighboring city. The film stars Dylan Ratzlaff, Kellie Martin and Rukiya Bernard.

“I grew up Mennonite, which is very similar to the Amish,” Yoder explained to Fox News Digital. “… I was 48 years old when I finally got the courage to go to law enforcement and report the crimes that had happened to me when I was a child. It took me years to get to a place where I felt like I was able to do that. I just wasn’t ready or able [to do it before]. It took me a while to heal from my trauma and the things that had happened. But now, I feel like I have a voice. So I wanted to

Network outage cancels classes Monday in Crown Point schools

Posted on 20/05/2023

A possible computer breach and network outage prompted the cancellation of classes Monday for students in the Crown Point Community School Corp. as work continued to restore the network.

Parents and students will receive an update on the progress Monday afternoon.

Teachers and other staff members were to report to their schools on Monday. Students shouldn’t report to school and it’s not considered an e-learning day, officials said in a letter from Superintendent Todd Terrill on the district’s website.

Childcare will be available at Solon Robinson and Jerry Ross elementaries.

Terrill said the network wasn’t operating properly Nov. 21 and after the district brought in a cybersecurity firm, “we confirmed that the CPCSC network may have been compromised.”

It’s unclear whether personal information was accessed. Officials say when there’s a determination from the cybersecurity firm, the results will be shared with staff and families.

“We know this is frustrating to not have an answer for this, and we apologize that we cannot provide one at this time,” Terrill said.

The district’s secure entry system is working and all outside doors will remain locked during the school day with visitor entry only at the front entrances.

Officials offered no timeline for

THORChain network halted following software bug

Posted on 17/05/2023

Cross-chain exchange and proof-of-bond network THORChain was halted earlier today as the result of a bug causing “non-determinism between individual nodes.”

At around 8 pm UTC, the THORChain team initially tweeted that developers were aware of a chain outage and were working to find the root cause of the issue.

Roughly four hours later, the team posted a further update noting that “consensus halts in a distributed state machine are from sources of non-determinism between individual nodes and prevent the ledger from becoming corrupted.”

It stated that the next steps were to find the source of the non-determinism, release an update, and restart the state machine, and while noting that step one was close, there have been no updates since, suggesting the developers are dealing with a fair bit of a headache.

According to THORChain explorer, the network still appears to be halted at the time of writing. However, the token swapping platform
