Military technology is one of those weird spaces where it seems to upgrade like crazy and still be stuck at the same place at the same time depending on where you look.

For Example - The M2 heavy machine gun ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_Browning ) continues to be in service in the US military since 1933. On the other hand the Advanced Combat Helmet's ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Combat_Helmet ) have been in use since 2003.

On the other hand while there seems to be little change in the mass manufacturing of small arms and provisions in the US army, there are still little upgrades being made, such as the fact that starting in 2022, the XM5 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM5 ) is expected to replace the currently common M4A1 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_carbine ) model as standard use.

The Specialist orgs seem to be seeing faster changes in the equipment supplied to them however. Such as the fact that they were seeing increase used of the FN Scar H rifles ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_SCAR ) long before the general military arm.

The most advancements seem to be made in terms of fighter jets where the f35 lightning II remains at the lead since it began production in 2006.( https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/30000-top-10-most-advanced-fighter-jets-of-2022 )

In terms of tanks however the US seems to be left behind ( http://www.military-today.com/tanks/top_10_main_battle_tanks.htm ), with the most advanced tanks in the world being developed in Europe and Russia. Likely due to the fact that as drone warfare advances Tanks begin to lose their value in warfare.

The future of modern warfare is likely to be something where drone warfare becomes an integral part of all future warfare, but beyond this everything else moves at a multi decade glacial pace of development and integration among the boots on the ground. We may also begin to see very common use of one robot unit in every squad on deployment ( https://www.analyticsinsight.net/top-10-scary-military-robots-in-use-the-terrifying-tales/) . Other than this however, future warfare is likely to remain very recognizable, with current troops using the same armaments as what was used in our grandparents generation.

Conclusion :

The human troops gear aspect of military advancements is being left behind as they are likely to be replaced by autonomous systems and robots in the near future, fields where the most advancements in terms of military research is being made.

A man has opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, while live-streaming on Twitch, killing multiple people and injuring others, local officials and witnesses say. He also posted an online manifesto in which he described himself as a white supremacist.

The incident began on early Saturday afternoon when officers were called for an active shooter at Tops Markets at 1275 Jefferson Avenue. Upon arrival, they found victims on the ground outside the supermarket and others inside the building itself.

According to initial reports, at least 9 people have been shot, including several people who were shot in the head. Two victims were pronounced dead on the ground outside the store and at least one person was taken to an area hospital.

Buffalo Police confirmed that the suspect was taken into custody. In a video shared on Facebook, a man in military fatigues can be seen taken into custody. He appeared to have been armed with a semi-automatic rifle.

The attack was live-streamed on Twitch and screenshots from the recording showed horrific scenes, including a woman who is shot in the head. In other screenshots, victims can be seen on the floor of the supermarket.

A 106-page online manifesto, believed to have been uploaded by the shooter, outlined his motive for Saturday’s attack. In the document, he describes himself as an 18-year-old man and self-described white supremacist and anti-semite.

“If there’s one thing I want you to get from these writings, it’s that White birth rates must change. Everyday the White population becomes fewer in number,” the document says. “To maintain a population the people must achieve a birth rate that reaches replacement fertility levels, in the western world that is about 2.06 births per woman.”

BNO News is not publishing the document released by the shooter.

“I have been advised of an active multiple shooting event at the Tops Markets on Jefferson Street in Buffalo,” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said. “Police are on scene. Please stay away from the area.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said: “I am closely monitoring the shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo. We have offered assistance to local officials. If you are in Buffalo, please avoid the area and follow guidance from law enforcement and local officials.”

just 20 mins ago I just witnessed a mass shooting at a tops supermarket live on twitch with like 20 other viewers. i had opened the stream just a few seconds before he opened fire, and the stream lasted about 30 seconds after that. i saw at least 6 people shot.

all i have is this link and this screenshot which was the last frame of the stream as it went down. https://www.twitch.tv/jimboboiii

since there were only 20 viewers i doubt ill ever see a clip of it, unless someone knows how to download stiff from twitch. does anyone know anything about this event.

First off, I know, Reddit-tier meme title.

But I must CONFOOS

1TB is enough for me and I've only needed to use 2TB storage twice in my life.

I just upgraded all my devices around the house to USB-C, this means everything from vapes to flash drives too.

I literally cannot see past 60FPS, and 30 to 60 has never been a huge deal to me. All that fuss over slightly smoother animation? Really?

@chiobu has accused @DayDreamer of molesting his sister. Chiobu has presented compelling photographic evidence of Krayon (sister toucher)’s alleged admission of this crime, but despite this, the defendant is now insisting that either he is recanting this confession, or that the confession is invalid or some such.

Both parties will state their cases below and you, the jury, will decide guilt.

Please consider their words and imagery fully before casting your vote. Lives are at stake here.
