It appears likely that the US government is using Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and/or xAI data models for processing signals intelligence (SIGINT), for AI-generated "kill lists" to determine where to drop their bombs.

In Apr 2024, +972 (an Israeli news outlet) published a >9,000 word article describing how the Israeli military had been using Artificial Intelligence to decide which (residential) buildings, hospitals, and schools to bomb in Gaza.

In Feb 2026, the US (and Israel) bombed Iran -- killing over 100 schoolchildren (and Ali Khamenei).

In Mar 2026, it appears that the US has likely built a similar system, leveraging US AI companies' tech to decide which (school) buildings to bomb, false-positive hallucinations be damned.

Would also be cool if they had an aux jack

Oh wow, there's no aux jack!?! Thanks for pointing that out. That kills this for me.

I am guessing they don’t have an IP protection for liquid/dust.

The product page's specification's section lists it as having "IP66 certification: Splash proof and dust resistant"

Isn't the whole point that this thing can be upgraded?

Also, Pixel 3 still runs great, once you strip off all the google spyware.

Yeah, small dutch company that has a good history. They've been making highly customizable laptops for the EU market since 2015. And since 2021, they've been focusing on security and right-to-repair. You can watch an interview with the NovaCustom founder (Wessel Klein Snakenborg) here:

They're one of very few laptop manufacturers that sell QubesOS certified laptops. And that come with coreboot.
