Mission accomplished - the Sentinel-5A satellite is now safely in orbit!

It will now undergo calibration before starting its work for us: scanning and analysing the composition of the air we breathe.

Thanks to Sentinel-5A and other European Copernicus satellites, we will have more accurate pollution alerts to protect the most vulnerable, and improved aerosol forecasts for solar energy providers.

Check out the pictures from Sentinel-5A's launch from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou 👇

Trump on the possibility of 100% tariffs for all countries buying Russian energy: “I’ve never named a percentage, but we’ll be doing quite a lot of this. We’ll see what happens in the next fairly short period. Yes, they have a meeting tomorrow, we have a meeting with Russia tomorrow. We’ll see what happens, and then make a decision.”

Thanks to Russian murderers: Sofiia, Mykyta, and their 2-year-old son—all just 23 years old—were killed by a Russian strike on Kyiv on July 31. They had fled Sloviansk at the start of the full-scale war, rented an apartment in the capital, and were killed when a Russian missile hit their building. Their bodies were found under the rubble a day later. Sofiia was pregnant with their second child.

Fedora Considers Reducing The Scope That BIOS Systems Can Hold Up A Release

Given that non-UEFI BIOS systems are quite old at this point and Intel/AMD systems for the past number of years have all supported UEFI, another change proposal being considered this week by Fedoa Linux is limiting the release-blocking status of various (non-UEFI) BIOS systems...
