Joby Aviation, Inc. has announced the acquisition of the autonomy division of Xwing Inc., an industry leader in the development of autonomous technology for aviation. Xwing became the first company to receive an official project designation for the certification of a large unmanned aerial system (UAS) from the Federal Aviation Administration in 2023, and the first to receive a United States Air Force Military Flight Release in 2024. “Autonomous systems are increasingly prolific in the private sector, and bring potentially game changing advantages to the Air Force as well,” said Col. Elliott Leigh, AFWERX director and chief commercialization officer for the United States Department of the Air Force. “We created Autonomy Prime to keep up with this shift, and to stay engaged as a partner while this technology evolves, so that we can adapt and evolve along with the private sector, maintaining our competitive advantage.” The acquisition brings Joby to the forefront of aviation autonomy, and the company expects the technology to play an important role in accelerating the execution of existing contract deliverables with the United States Department of Defense and expanding the potential for future contracts.

Fauci Faces Grilling by Republican Committee on Covid Origins [New York Times] Covid Origins were indeed “lab-leak” (#UmbrellaCorporation-ish), classified, but eventually made public. Regardless, a vaccine was necessary, and no vaccination and no mask is the REASON why 1,000,000 died, because of Trump’s stupidity. Don’t forget the #VaccinesSaveLives hashtag, it’s a lifesaver.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1191 & BENKYO RADIO 1191. Now, unfortunately, retailers did NOT carry Lenovo Legion desktops in stores, therefore I was unable to procure one. As a result, I was unable to run #IntelQuantum code 24/7, all week long, but I am running it all weekend long. Feel free to send me a desktop so that the server stays stable all week long, if not, it’s hard to help. As it stands, JLRos is up to episode 2025/2026 (JETLAG RADIO OS). The Lenovo Legion laptop needs a few more installations. As it stands, latest Steam PC, latest Epic Games Launcher, latest Ubisoft Launcher, still need to install XBOX PC (my HALO won’t let me login with Microsoft). And, I need to install the NoVR patch for #HalfLifeAlyx, and rescue everybody from #BlackMesa etc. I’m doing my best. I also need to know where Jean-Marc Mensah is. Please tell him to send me mail. As soon as possible. I haven’t received communications with him since he was in France, many years ago, at a Jean-Michel Jarre VR concert. That’s the last time I had a call & VM & voice recording from him. Ever since that, I think he went or I went into a Parallel Universe. Also, I need to talk to “Gwen” (Spider-Verse), she is a female E.R. Doctor in France. For some reason, it is impossible for one another to communicate to one another. It’s been really difficult. I need to talk to her. It feels like she’s on Andromeda, that’s how fucking far away it feels that she’s at, when it fact, a simple SFO-CDG flight, then to Lorient, and I could finally talk to her over 2hr while we drink Coffee. It’s very important.

PS. If I have to keep “Saving the World on the Daily” and I am not rewarded with a brand-new car, I’m sick of all this shit, I’m gonna stay home and play my SEGA (RGG Studio West) games all summer long.

Until Next Time!
