Tarnished Gold ...... and Silver; and Bronze.
The 2024 Paris Olympic medals are flaking and falling apart, many medalists have complaint and filed for replacements. The IOC so day says they will replace the medals.
The sponsor and notable luxury goods company LVMH that designed the medals has so far been keeping quiet and letting the French mint that manufactured the medals take the heat instead. The mint blames the varnish on the medals as "defective", saying the varnish's proprietary formula was tweaked to comply with certain EU regulation that banned chromium trioxide, a chemical used to prevent oxidation.

Cheap AI LLMs from ChinaBy now, most of the world recognize AI as a strategic competitive force, and of course that includes China.
This article rounds up China's generative AI large language models (LLMs) and compare them to the American ones like OpenAI and Meta/Facebook's offerings:

Yeah, the Chinese stuff is a lot cheaper, and comes with blind spots about topics the CCP is sensitive about (e.g., won't answer questions about TianAnMan Square massacre), but then there are topics that the likes of ChatGPT will not address as well; just different topics than the models coming out of China.

It's going nowhere but it is focusing attention on the issue.
Oh sure, using the Office of the U. S. President to issue an unconstitutional executive order is the best way to focus attention on an issue.

FBI Win - forces China's malware to self-deleteJustice Department and FBI Conduct International Operation to Delete Malware Used by China-Backed Hackers
Court-Authorized Operation Removes PlugX Malware from Over 4,200 Infected U.S. Computers
If I read the story right, a French cybersecurity company identified and hijacked a command-and-control server that controls a certain malware from China. The FBI works with French law enforcement to use that command-and-control server to send "self-delete" commands to the malware on infected U.S. computers.

Agrivoltaicshttps://www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/agrivoltaics-solar-panels-french-wine-grapes/
The idea is to put solar panels over where you do agriculture. Generating electricity aside, you also gain more control over the temperature and amount of sun exposed to the areas below your solar panels, to the point where you get to do better agriculture than before (e.g., reduce irrigation needs, grow better/different crops, better protection from heat for grazing livestocks).
