We're back from walkies...

Arwen is enjoying a smelly snack, and making a mess with it... I hate the cleaning up afterwards, but she loves it so much, that she gets it every now and then...

I got a drink and my new book, so I'll relax a bit...

I'm guessing that Arwen will want walkies again at 9 😂 so better be rested before that...

Sharing my favorite snap of this morning at the water side with toy here...

A chocolate brown Labrador Retriever stands in the foreground, holding a bright yellow tennis ball in its mouth. The dog's fur appears wet, suggesting it has been playing in water. The tennis ball is slightly dirty, indicating it has been used for play. The dog's eyes are dark and attentive, and its nose is black and moist. The background shows a natural setting with a body of water on the left and trees in the distance, under a partly cloudy sky. The ground is dry and sandy, with some patches of grass. The dog is looking directly at the camera, creating a sense of engagement with the viewer.

We live in interesting times. Friend of mine is a scientist in France. He just got briefing on what to do when traveling to the US. He was told to use an empty, freshly installed laptop with nothing but his presentation on it. Uninstall all messengers and social media. If he has to surrender any of his devices even for a minute, he shall get it checked by the French secret service for back-doors and Trojans.

I guess I rather stay home than going to a conference in the US.

it somehow gives the impression that the one who told about the check by the French secret service might be slightly delusional.

I'd be slightly interested to know how many French scientists/researchers travel to the US every week, we can imagine the kind of workload that would be for the FSS to check every laptop once they come back.

@Serpico I can assure you, he is not delusional. I know him for over 10 years and we have closely worked together for most of this time. He is a laid back person and usually understates things rather than exagerating.

As for the number of scientists traveling to the US, I don't know. But if it's a couple hundred a year that need their devices checked, that is easily doable for an organisation like the French secret service.

The New World Order Is Here.....

@Daojoan : "The collapse of American influence isn't happening because the U.S. military is weaker or its economy smaller. It's happening because trust in American judgment, consistency, and commitment has plummeted. Former partners have concluded - with the speed of realpolitik pragmatism - that they cannot build their futures on the foundation of an emotionally unstable, shifting, petty, and small-minded American administration.
