Alright might be time to go back outside and attack bags of gravel with a spade again.

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.
IMO this is part of the wider problem that most people still don't really have an intuitive sense for digital product safety in the same way they do for physical products.
That phrasing ignores the problem that Grok is an inherently unsafe product lacking industry-standard safeguards. Blaming the product is common phrasing with "conventional" unsafe products like lawn darts for example.
A really interesting example of how responsible security research gets demonized by irresponsible vendors.

For context, back in ye olden days, the Anet A8 (a very cheap Chinese 3D printer) was notorious for burning down.

Happy New Year folks.
Hopefully 2026 will be less of a chaotic inferno of war, hatred and fascism than 2025 was 🫠
David was all over that Burevestnik test.

Two of the pins are intended to connect to NCTs (as temperature sensors). However, the elements are not actually present. So either it was determined during the design process that temperature sensing is not necessary or the LED board is used for multiple different products.
In terms of the overall design philosophy, it's interesting that this board has absolutely no logic at all. Just the LEDs and a single zero-Ohm resistor. The RGB pins are just straight-up connected to the corresponding LEDs.
Picture of the LED board with the frosted internal diffuser removed. Under the diffuser, we see the other side of the 8-pin connector, as well as 12 further LEDs. Instead of multi-colour LEDs, there are four red, four green, and four blue monochrome LEDs.
Removing the second, internal diffuser reveals the colour LEDs and the other side of the 8-pin connector. Notably, the board does not use multi-coloured LEDs. Instead, there are 12 monochrome LEDs (4 R, 4 G, 4B), presumably in an effort to keep the cost as low as possible.
The rear of the LED board is covered in aluminium. There is a single 8-pin connector at the top.
Same as the previous picture, except that the rear of the board is still covered in a thin coating of white thermal paste.
The rear of the board is covered in aluminium (and thermal paste) to better conduct heat away from the LEDs.
Note the 8-pin connector at the top. This links the LED board to the rest of the lamp electronics.
Top-down view of the lamp with the external diffuser removed. There is a ring of 12 warm white LEDs on a PCB with white solder mask. The board is fixed with two screws to the lamp body. At the center, there is a half-sphere internal diffuser covering the colour LEDs.
The same board, now removed from the lamp body.
With the outer diffuser removed, we can see the board carrying the LEDs. The outer ring of LEDs is warm white. The frosted dome in the center covers the RGB LEDs.
