stupid question. if work computer logs everything, can ppl going thru it tell if youve been not doing things? (like logging in but then just leaving the computer running without actually performing actions on it). Asking for. Reasons.
If there are any kinds of programs you log into for work there's pretty much going to be a record of the actions you've taken in those programs and the person who admins those programs is likely to have some level of access to those records.
If it's a work computer and it belongs to them and they suspect that you are not actually working they can install programs that will track a tremendously high level of information (for instance, they can install a keylogger to track everything you've typed).
Or, hell, one of the programs we install on client computers takes a screenshot of each user's device every half hour. The screenshot is completely secret from the user's perspective.
Some of this is very easy to access info, some is very difficult to access info, but if you're supposed to be using, like, Quickbooks or Excel or something like that - ESPECIALLY if it's a cloud version - then yeah the program has a timestamp of every action you take.
If you're not sure whether your work has programs like this on your computer, it's better to assume that they do than to assume that they do not.

Rocket: Saturn IB
Objectives: First flight of the Lunar Module, tested the Descent and Ascent Stage engines in Earth orbit. Also performed a "fire in the hole" landing abort test, to prove that the LM's Ascent Stage could still launch while physically attached to the Descent Stage, which would be necessary to escape the lunar surface in the event of an aborted landing.
Mission: Apollo 6
Date: April 4th, 1968
Rocket: Saturn V
Objectives: Final uncrewed test of the Saturn V. Despite losing two first stage engines to pogo oscillation and failing to reignite the S-IVB, NASA were able to identify the problems and correct them, declaring the Saturn V man-rated.

Gravitational collapse may explain the origin of contact binaries in the Kuiper Belt, MSU simulation finds
Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University researchers now have evidence of the surprisingly simple process that could be responsible for their creation.
Far beyond the violent, chaotic asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter lies what’s known as the Kuiper Belt. There, past Neptune, you’ll find icy, untouched building blocks from the dawn of the solar system, known as planetesimals. About one in 10 of these objects are contact binaries, planetesimals that are shaped like two connected spheres, much like Frosty the Snowman. But just how these objects came to be without the help of a magic silk hat was an open question.
Jackson Barnes, an MSU graduate student, has created the first simulation that reproduces the two-lobed shape naturally with gravitational collapse. His work is published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Earlier computational models treated colliding objects as fluid blobs that merged into spheres, making it impossible to form these unique shapes. Thanks to MSU’s Institute for Cyber-Enabled Research, or ICER, and its high-performance computing cluster, Barnes’ simulations produce a more realistic environment that allows objects to retain their strength and rest against one another.
Other formation theories involve special events or exotic phenomena that, while possible, aren’t likely to happen on a regular basis.
“If we think 10 percent of planetesimal objects are contact binaries, the process that forms them can’t be rare,” said Earth and Environmental Science Professor Seth Jacobson, senior author on the paper. “Gravitational collapse fits nicely with what we’ve observed.”
Contact binaries were first imaged up close by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft in January 2019. These images prompted scientists to take another look at other objects in the Kuiper belt, and it turned out that contact binaries accounted for about 10 percent of all planetesimals. These distant objects float mostly undisturbed and safe from collisions in the sparsely populated Kuiper belt.
In the early days of the Milky Way, the galaxy was a disc of dust and gas. Remnants of the galaxy’s formation are found in the Kuiper Belt, including dwarf planets like Pluto, comets and planetesimals.
Planetesimals are the first large planetary objects to form from the disc of dust and pebbles. Much like individual snowflakes that are packed into a snowball, these first planetesimals are aggregates of pebble-sized objects pulled together by gravity from a cloud of tiny materials.
Occasionally as the cloud rotates, it falls inward on itself, ripping the object apart and forming two separate planetesimals that orbit one another. Astronomers observe many binary planetesimals in the Kuiper belt. In Barnes’ simulation, the orbits of these objects spiral inward until the two gently make contact and fuse together while still maintaining their round shapes.
How do these two objects stay together throughout the history of the solar system? Barnes explains they’re simply unlikely to crash into another object. Without a collision, there’s nothing to break them apart. Most binaries aren’t even pocked with craters.
Scientists long suspected that gravitational collapse was responsible for forming these objects, but they couldn’t fully test the idea. Barnes’ model is the first to include the physics needed to reproduce contact binaries.
“We’re able to test this hypothesis for the first time in a legitimate way,” Barnes said. “That’s what’s so exciting about this paper.”
Barnes expects his model will help scientists understand binary systems of three or more objects. The team is also working to create a new simulation that better models the collapse process.
As more NASA missions explore uncharted realms of the solar system, Jacobson and Barnes suspect Frosty may have more distant cousins yet to be found.

QUDORA Technologies Expands Quantum Operations to Japan
Germany-based full-stack quantum computing leader QUDORA Technologies launched Qudora Japan K.K. This May 28, 2026 expansion marks a turning point in the company's global expansion plan, focusing on Asia-Pacific's growth.
An Important Chiyoda-ku Location
New subsidiary headquarters are in Tokyo's Chiyoda-ku business and administrative district. From its central base, Qudora Japan K.K. fosters regional cooperation, client growth, and commercial progress throughout Japan and the Asia-Pacific.
QUDORA has recruited a top leadership team with strong local business contacts to lead this challenging project. As President of Qudora Japan K.K., Ned Cahoon will be joined by Country Manager Mitsuo Harahata and Executive General Manager Yuichi Watanabe. Local Japanese market experience and QUDORA's German engineering heritage are emphasized in this leadership structure.
Using Scientific Magnificence Tradition
QUDORA's technology is based on Germany's cold-atom physics supremacy since the first trapped-ion systems and atomic clocks. Found in 2021 and based in Braunschweig, the company has quickly become a “full-stack” provider, handling everything from quantum processing software to hardware.
Their hardware relies on patented microwave technology NFQC (Near Field Quantum Control). One of the company's founders designed NFQC to address the instability of the quantum state, a longstanding quantum computing concern.
The Coherence Search for “Quantum Utility”
In quantum mechanics, coherence time—the duration of a qubit's quantum state—is significant. Limited algorithm complexity is often caused by short coherence times in present quantum solutions. QUDORA's NFQC technology addresses this with “exceptionally long” coherence times and high-precision qubit management.
By lengthening quantum state life, QUDORA's technology increases algorithmic depth and complexity. Quantum error correction's high overhead is reduced by this technical benefit, enabling more realistic applications. Manufacturing and scalability are prioritized to give high-performance quantum computing to business and industry.
Why Japan? Combining Vision and Industry
QUDORA expanded into Japan because of its “strategic vision and support for quantum computing,” which it sees as a crucial ecosystem for innovation. The corporation considers Japan a “valued ecosystem partner” rather than a market.
QUDORA CEO Dr. Amado Bautista-Salvador praised Japan's quantum roadmap as one of the most comprehensive and collaborative, covering the full value chain, key supply chains, advanced quantum hardware development, and clear pathways to quantum utility.
Japan's industrial strengths meet QUDORA's trapped-ion technologies. The company targets industries with low coherence periods that have limited quantum solutions, such as:
Hi-performance computing
Automobile engineering
Materials engineering
Pharmaceutical research
Finance
Ecosystem Integration and Engagement
QUDORA entered the Japanese market after several strategy changes. The company is already active in the Q-STAR Alliance, Japan's leading quantum industry association. QUDORA also attended the SCA/HPC Asia 2026 conference in Osaka and joined AHK Japan, the official German business representative, to engage with the German-Japanese business community.
For prospective customers, QUDORA offers multiple deployment techniques. Their solutions interface effortlessly with HPC and business infrastructure. This includes on-premises deployments for research institutes and high-performance computing centers that need local hardware and cloud-based access for rapid quantum resources.
Future outlook
Ned Cahoon, Qudora Japan's new president, was optimistic about the local climate. He claimed Japan's technology creates a “unique environment for innovation and collaboration”. Qudora Japan K.K. builds strong, long-lasting quantum community links to bring the industry closer to real quantum use.
With its unique NFQC technology and new mandate in Tokyo, QUDORA is connecting Asia-Pacific industrial powerhouses to European scientific genius.
Suddenly they speak as if every prompt shoots a laser beam through the ionosphere, melts a glacier and personally kicks a baby penguin into the sea.
Meanwhile the same people stream 4K anime, run twenty browser tabs, doomscroll TikTok for hours and refresh Tumblr like lab mice hitting the dopamine lever.
But sure — my prompt is the ecological apocalypse.
Let’s be extremely clear:
AI requests do not operate on magical death-rays
They’re POST requests.
The same kind Tumblr sends when you press “like”.
The same kind YouTube fires every time you load a video frame.
The same kind every website uses to check “are you still here?”.
Your phone performs more computation playing a 30-second ad than most prompts require.
Yet no one is screaming:
“Use YouTube responsibly!
Think of the GRID, Melissa!
Every cat video costs a TREE!”
Why?
Because they don’t actually care about infrastructure.
They only care about policing behaviour they don’t like.
The “rational use” sermons fall apart under 30 seconds of adult thinking
Take any modern digital service:
Cloud storage, Video streaming, Social networks, Gaming servers, Banking apps, Maps and navigation, Photo sorting, Search engines
All of them:
huge data centres → high-density compute → constant routing → energy draw → cooling systems → global infrastructure.
This is how the modern world works.
Always has.
No one is sending their indignation letters to Spotify.
But ask a language model for help?
Suddenly you’ve become an eco-villain straight out of a Greta Thunberg fever dream.
It’s theatre.
Cheap, hypocritical theatre.
The customer is not responsible for running the bloody data centre
We don’t tell people:
“Use Google responsibly — every query is a carbon crime.”
We don’t tell them:
“Use Pinterest wisely — each repin heats up a server!”
We don’t tell them:
“Don’t upload photos, the cooling units are working overtime!”
Why?
Because the burden is not on the user.
It’s on the provider.
If a country offers to process another country’s waste, the responsibility for infrastructure, safety, and impact lies with the service provider, not the individual user who throws away a yoghurt cup.
Same logic here.
If tech companies offer AI as a product, they are accountable for sustainability, optimisation, hardware efficiency, and energy contracts.
Not the person writing:
“Help me rewrite this email.”
Pretending otherwise is intellectually dishonest.
The moral panic isn’t about ecology — it’s about control
People don’t want others to have:
easier workflows
faster creativity
fewer barriers
more cognitive leverage
Because it threatens the social hierarchy they built on suffering.
So they repackage envy as “ethical concern”.
But it remains envy.
A simple test
If you never worried about the carbon footprint of:
…but you suddenly discovered your conscience specifically for AI?
Congratulations.
It’s not ethics.
It’s a tantrum in a trench-coat.
If your ecological principles only activate when someone uses a tool you personally dislike, they’re not principles.
They’re just insecurities with a moral filter.
