DK Metcalf is happy to block as Seahawks ride streak into Sunday night matchup with Packers
A large number of mysterious drones have been reported flying over New Jersey and across the eastern U.S., sparking speculation and concern over where they came from and why. In response, the Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday temporarily banned drone flights in 22 areas of New Jersey where critical infrastructure is located. FAA officials said the flight restrictions were requested by federal security agencies and are effective through Jan. 17. The FBI, the Homeland Security Department and state agencies have been investigating, but officials say there has been nothing so far to suggest that any drones have posed a national security or public safety threat. In fact, authorities say, many of the drone sightings have actually been legal drones, manned aircraft, helicopters and even stars. President Joe Biden said Tuesday night that there appears to be nothing nefarious about the flying objects. Despite federal officials’ comments, many state and municipal lawmakers have nonetheless called for stricter rules about who can fly unmanned aircraft — and for the authority to shoot them out of the sky. Federal government agencies have the authority to track and disable drones deemed to be threatening, but that power was set to expire after Friday. A temporary spending bill before Congress that would extend that power and avert a government shutdown was in flux Thursday after President-elect Donald Trump called for its rejection. Dozens of witnesses have reported seeing drones statewide since mid-November, including near the Picatinny Arsenal, a military research and manufacturing facility, and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, has said that drone-detection equipment supplied by the federal government has yielded little new information. He declined to describe the equipment except to say it was powerful and could even disable the drones, though he said that’s not legal on U.S. soil. Murphy urged Congress to give states more authority to deal with the drones. Meanwhile, federal and local authorities are warning against pointing lasers at suspected drones, because aircraft pilots are being hit in the eyes more often. Authorities also said they are concerned people might fire weapons at manned aircraft that they have mistaken for drones. The growing anxiety among some residents is not lost on the Biden administration, which has faced criticism from Trump for not dealing with the matter more aggressively. White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said Monday that the federal government has yet to identify any public safety or national security risks. “There are more than 1 million drones that are lawfully registered with the Federal Aviation Administration here in the United States,” Kirby said. “And there are thousands of commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones that are lawfully in the sky on any given day. That is the ecosystem that we are dealing with.” The federal government has deployed personnel and advanced technology to investigate the reports in New Jersey and other states, and is evaluating each tip reported by citizens, he said. About 100 of the more than 5,000 drone sightings reported to the FBI in recent weeks were deemed credible enough to warrant more investigation, according to a joint statement by the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Defense. Speculation has raged online, with some expressing concerns that the drones could be part of a nefarious plot by foreign agents or clandestine operations by the U.S. government. Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said it’s unlikely the drones are engaged in intelligence gathering, given how loud and bright they are. And he repeated Tuesday that the drones being reported are not being operated by the Department of Defense. Asked whether military contractors might be operating drones in the New Jersey area, Ryder rebuffed the notion, saying there are “no military operations, no military drone or experiment operations in this corridor.” Ryder said additional drone-detecting technology was being moved to some military installations, including the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. Drone activity in the past week led to an hourlong closure of runways at New York’s Stewart International Airport, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of Manhattan, a four-hour closure of air space around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and the arrests of two men in Boston accused by police of flying a drone too close to Logan International Airport. Trump has said he believes the government knows more than it’s saying. “Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!” he posted on Truth Social. U.S. Sen. Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, said he has heard nothing to support the notion that the government is hiding anything. He said a lack of faith in institutions is playing a key part in the saga. “Nothing that I’m seeing, nothing that I’ve engaged in gives me any impression of that nature. But like, I get it, some people won’t believe me, right? Because that’s the level of distrust that we face,” Kim said Monday. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut last week called for the drones to be “shot down.” A Senate bill that would expand federal agencies’ authorities to track and disable drones has been pending since last year. It also includes a pilot program that would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to monitor and disable drones, under supervision by federal authorities. A similar bill in the House was introduced in June. More articles from the BDNPredictive Safety Announces Partnership with DISA Global SolutionsIngram Micro joins the list of companies that is tired of dealing with Broadcom’s handling of the VMware acquisition, saying it will no longer do business with the company. Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware in November 2023, and immediately began raising prices and ending perpetual licensing. In some cases, the price hikes bordered on the absurd, with of trying to raise prices by 1,050% and the after Broadcom hit it with a 10x price increase. According to , distribution giant Ingram Micro has had enough, saying it will no longer work with Broadcom after negotiations between the two companies broke down. “We were unable to reach an agreement with Broadcom that would help our customers deliver the best technology outcomes now and in the future while providing an appropriate shareholder return,” a spokesperson told the outlet. As a result, from “early January 2025, Ingram Micro will no longer be doing business with Broadcom and have limited engagement with VMware in select regions.” “For us and the more than 1,500 vendors and 161,000 customers we work with, the future of business is focused on transforming relationships, not just transacting sales,” the spokesperson added. Broadcom’s Changed Support Strategy to Blame Prior to its acquisition, VMware’s teams handled support requests, giving customers the best possible experience. Broadcom changed that, however, dumping L1/L2 support on distribution partners. As users on a Reddit thread highlight, this resulted in Ingram and other partners suddenly having a support workloads dropped on them that they were ill-equipped to handle. Remember that broadcom dumped the vmware support on partners like Ingram with no notice and no time to build up. If you buy direct it would be a different story, but support may vary. This is unfortunate in how broadcom handled. My support for velocloud still goes direct to velocloud team and have gotten good to great support in timely fashion, like even 15min on a P2. Reddit user Can confirm. If you’re a commercial customer and your VAR sourced from Ingram as their preferred disti, Broadcom edict to Ingram under their new contract was to provide L1/L2 support for those customers. Other redditors are right- they had almost no time to build and ramp up a tech support org for that vendor. Broadcom doesn’t care if the customer experience sucks. They’re not going to change anything unless it makes them more money. Price increases rumored to be coming in this new fiscal year for BC also. We are actively looking for alternatives now with a quickness as Broadcom itself is turning into a risk our leadership is getting tired of dealing with. Reddit user If what Reddit users are reporting is true, it’s little wonder that Ingram decided to stop working with Broadcom. After years of providing direct support to customers, it would seem to be incredibly opportunistic and short-sighted for Broadcom to suddenly dump a large portion of that support on distribution partners, let alone doing so without giving them time to properly build up the necessary infrastructure. Even more to the point, rarely will a distribution partner have the same level of expertise as the company making the product. As a result, even with the necessary infrastructure in place, it’s unlikely distribution partners will be able to provide the same level of support VMware was known for. Broadcom Is Confirming Critics’ Pre-Acquisition Fears Broadcom’s actions—as evidenced by it’s interactions with AT&T, Beeks Group, and Ingram Micro—are confirming the worst fears critics had prior to the acquisition. Broadcom has a reputation in the tech industry for ruthless efficiency in driving profit. The company’s operating margin, at roughly 61%, far exceeds many other companies, including other companies known for being highly profitable, such as Oracle with 47% margins. As a result, there was a tremendous amount of angst leading up to the acquisition, both inside and outside the company. “It’s like a sinking ship and we’re being asked to row until we go under,” , estimating that half of his work acquaintances are looking for other jobs. “Do I hang out here and the boat’s probably going to sink? Or do I jump ship because other people are?” “People feel betrayed,” added another VMware engineer. “For my team of 10 I know four of us are actively interviewing.” Another one said that “the only thing keeping many people here is the specter of a recession.” In the wake of the acquisition, European cloud organization CISPE appealed to regulators to reign in Broadcom’s price hikes and licensing changes, saying its “brutal” tactics would “decimate” Europe’s independent cloud companies and infrastructure. “At a time when our members are moving to support the requirements for switching and portability between cloud services outlined in the Data Act, Broadcom is holding the sector to ransom by leveraging VMware’s dominance of the virtualisation sector to enforce unfair licence terms and extract unfair rents from European cloud customers,” , secretary general of CISPE. “These changes harm European customers and cloud service providers, increasing costs and reducing choice.” “As well as inflicting financial damage on the European digital economy, these actions will decimate Europe’s independent cloud infrastructure sector and further reduce the diversity of choice for customers. Dominant software providers, in any sector from productivity software to virtualisation, must not be allowed to wield life or death power over Europe’s digital ecosystems,” Mingorance added. Hopefully, Ingram Micro will not be the last company to decide it is done with VMware and Broadcom. If enough large companies and partners abandon the platform, it may just force Broadcom to reconsider its actions.Just in Time for the Holidays: Tesla Mezcal Re-Releases a Limited Edition Collaboration with Nosotros Mezcal

By Jonathan Landay WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A senior White House official on Thursday said nuclear-armed Pakistan is developing long-range ballistic missile capabilities that eventually could allow it to strike targets well beyond South Asia, making it an "emerging threat" to the United States. Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer's surprise revelation underscored how far the once-close ties between Washington and Islamabad have deteriorated since the 2021 U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. It also raised questions about whether Pakistan has shifted the objectives of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs long intended to counter those of India, the victor in three major wars they have fought since 1947. Speaking to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Finer said Pakistan has pursued "increasingly sophisticated missile technology, from long-range ballistic missile systems to equipment, that would enable the testing of significantly larger rocket motors." If those trends continue, Finer said, "Pakistan will have the capability to strike targets well beyond South Asia, including in the United States." The number of nuclear-armed states with missiles that can reach the U.S. homeland "is very small and they tend to be adversarial," he continued, naming Russia, North Korea and China. "So, candidly, it's hard for us to see Pakistan's actions as anything other than an emerging threat to the United States," Finer said. His speech came a day after Washington announced a new round of sanctions related to Pakistan's ballistic missile development program, including against the state-run defense agency that oversees the program. The Pakistani embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Islamabad casts its long-range ballistic missile program as a deterrent against Indian aggression and intended to maintain regional stability. Finer included himself among senior U.S. officials who he said repeatedly have raised concerns about the program with top Pakistani officials. Washington and Islamabad, he noted, had been "long-time partners" on development, counterterrorism and security. "That makes us question even more why Pakistan will be motivated to develop a capability that could be used against us." Pakistan conducted its first nuclear weapons test in 1998 - more than 20 years after India's first test blast - becoming the seventh country to do so. It also has built an extensive arsenal of ballistic missiles capable of lofting nuclear warheads. The Bulletin of the American Scientists research organization estimates that Pakistan has a stockpile of about 170 warheads. U.S.-Pakistani relations have undergone major ups and downs, including close Cold War ties that saw them support Afghan rebels against the 1979-89 Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Pakistan also was a key partner in the U.S. fight against al Qaeda following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, and has been a major non-NATO ally since 2004. But ties also have been hurt by coups staged by the Pakistani military, its support for the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule and its nuclear weapons program. Several experts said Finer's speech came as a major surprise. "For a senior U.S. official to publicly link concerns about proliferation in Pakistan to a future direct threat to the U.S. homeland - this is a mighty dramatic development," said Michael Kugelman of the Wilson Center think tank. Elizabeth Threlkeld of the Stimson Center think tank, said Finer's speech showed that Pakistani officials had failed to reassure Washington about the aims of their missile and nuclear weapons programs and that U.S. concerns are mounting.
