Navy’s New Frigate Program Makes Big Bet On Containers Loaded With Missiles
-
The U.S. Navy’s new FF(X) frigate program bets on containerized weapons to compensate for the ship’s lack of an integrated vertical launch system, fitting the hull of the Coast Guard’s Legend‑class cutter with a 57 mm gun, a 30 mm cannon, RAM point‑defense missiles, and a Sea Giraffe radar while reserving the stern for modular payloads such as up to 16 Naval Strike Missiles or 48 Hellfire rockets housed in shipping containers; designers stress that these “capability‑in‑a‑box” modules can be swapped out as needs evolve, allowing rapid upgrades and risk reduction, though critics note the ships currently lack sonar, robust anti‑air defenses and a built‑in VLS, limiting their independent combat utility until future iterations add more sensors, missiles and unmanned companion vessels. click here to read more.

RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives
-
RAM shortages drive up prices for GPUs, high‑capacity SSDs, and even hard drives, forcing gamers and builders to pay premiums well above MSRP; RTX 5070 cards now sell for about $560‑$570 versus their $549 list price, while Radeon RX 9070 models hover near $580 against a $549 MSRP, and premium RTX 5070 Ti and 5080 cards climb to $730‑$750; SSDs follow suit, with 1 TB M.2 drives costing $120‑$150, roughly double last year’s prices, and larger capacities see even steeper hikes, squeezing consumers who already grapple with soaring DDR5 RAM costs. click here to read more.

When 2026 is uncertain, remember that God is not
- Ezra teaches that humility, reliance on God, and confident prayer guide every journey, urging believers to fast, ask for divine protection, and trust that God answers prayers—even when outcomes differ from expectations; his example shows that true safety comes from God, not earthly armies, a lesson readers can apply as they step into the uncertainties of 2026. click here to read more.

Cyber Insights 2026: Social Engineering
- AI‑powered social engineering now automates hyper‑personalized attacks at scale, using deepfake video and voice, synthetic personas, and agentic large‑language models that scout targets, craft convincing lures, and manage command‑and‑control infrastructure without human input; criminals deploy these tools in phishing‑as‑a‑service kits, browser‑based “ClickFix” tricks, and AI‑generated financial scams, making detection increasingly unreliable and forcing defenders to pivot toward zero‑trust workflows, multi‑person approvals, and continuous verification rather than relying on traditional detection methods. click here to read more.

If Israel falls, we fall’: Fate of West tied to Israel, former French PM tells ‘Post’ – interview
-
Former French prime minister Manuel Valls tells the Jerusalem Post that Europe’s fate hinges on Israel’s survival, arguing that a defeat of Israel would imperil the West’s fight against Islamism, Iranian‑Russian ties, and antisemitism; he stresses that supporting Israel counters modern antisemitism, criticizes left‑wing parties for exploiting the issue, and calls France’s 2025 recognition of a Palestinian state a mistake, urging a security‑first two‑state solution backed by Arab partners. click here to read more.
