Facebook's huge but delicate Aquila drone returns to the skies in 2nd test flight
It's Friday, June 30th and following Facebook's recent mission statement change to reflect its goal of world domination or worldwide connection, there's good news on that front as a second test flight of such big remote control plane also known as the Aquila drone had a successful conclusion.
Unlike the first go-around, the sci-fi but very graceful looking v wing drone took to the air on May 22nd and ascended to 3,000 feet during the hour and 46 minutes sorting it then glided in for a dusty slow speed landing which went better than the first flight which resulted in a damaged wing and an NTSB investigation seems like they got the problems figured out although we suggest perhaps adding some landing gear. The solar-powered drone is designed to fly at high altitude for 90 days straight and being Internet access and Facebook to the multitudes below in areas not served by traditional access points.
Pretty cool computer users around the world are still struggling with the Petya ransomware attack also known as not Petya which is now especially frustrating since the email address to receive the unlock code is no longer working. About computer security experts now say they think the real purpose of the attack was to install malware on government computers possibly for future operations and also to just wipe the hard drive. Some people who click the link Forbes says computer experts told them that not pet jet is primarily a wiper malware that's just plain destructive and that computer users in the Ukraine and in Ukraine's government seem to be the primary target but like many illnesses both analog and digital the infection spread much farther than anticipated and so far there's no quick cure.
Like the WannaCry virus, this one has left a trail of destruction and chaos in its wake. It's Friday and if you're wrapping up your week and looking for a bit of high-octane fun you can't do much better than some tire shredding drifting action courtesy of Team Monster. This time it's a Nissan GTR behaving badly and Inglot turning a shipyard course into a 4-wheel slip and slide but wait, there's more. What's this? Oh my, the GTR has been joined by an all-wheel drive Lamborghini, it's enough to make the locals buy a sponsor that energy drink. But wait, there's even more. Why not toss in a Jeep as well? That's going to require yet another sip of a sponsored beverage as you can imagine much more than tires take a beating in this video.
So hit the Lincoln's put on those headphones and try to keep it under 100 on the drive home, we're just here to please get more tech news updates.
