Foreign Affairs16 Billion Apple, Facebook, Google And Other Passwords Leaked - Act Now by DrMB(op): 6:34am On Jun 20, 2025
Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2025/06/19/16-billion-apple-facebook-google-passwords-leaked---change-yours-now/

Key Points

16 billion login credentials leaked, spanning 30 separate datasets; each holding tens of millions up to over 3.5 billion records.

The leak includes recent credentials (not recycled) from major platforms: Apple, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, GitHub, Telegram, VPN services, developer portals, government sites, and more.

Infostealer malware is the likely source; these programs harvest saved login data from infected devices.

Immediately exploited for phishing, account takeovers, identity theft, and further cybercrime.

Why it’s critical

This is the largest credential leak in internet history, with fresh credentials that pose real-world risks right now.

Patterns show that infostealer activity is ongoing, with new datasets appearing regularly.

Recommended Actions (Act Immediately!)

Change all passwords, especially for major services like Apple, Facebook, Google, Gmail, Telegram, GitHub, etc.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across every account, opt for authenticator apps or hardware keys (FIDO2) wherever possible.

Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords; avoid reuse across services.

Be vigilant for phishing attempts, don’t click suspicious links; go directly to sites to log in.

Scan your devices with reputable anti-malware tools to detect and remove infostealer threats.

Monitor new infostealer datasets; fresh data drops are occurring, so stay alert.

Noteworthy

This is fresh, weaponizable data at an unprecedented scale.

Immediate action is essential: reset passwords, secure accounts, and stay alert to threats.

TravelLessons From Nyesom Wike: Top 12 Aircraft Faults That May Not Lead To A Crash by DrMB(op): 7:36am On Jun 12, 2025
Lessons from Nyesom Wike: Top 12 Aircraft Faults That Sound Scary but Won’t Crash the Plane

Let’s be honest, most people panic on planes not because the plane is crashing, but because they don’t understand what’s actually happening.

Take this story: a top Nigerian politician, Nyesom Wike, once screamed in terror, casting and binding demons out loud when one of the plane’s engines stopped working mid-air. It made headlines. But here’s the truth: that situation wasn’t even life-threatening. Commercial planes are designed to keep flying safely with just one engine. Pilots train for that kind of thing constantly.

Still, panic took over, because of ignorance.

And he’s not the only one. Some passengers, especially on local or regional flights, have been seen doing all sorts of things when there's a jolt or a noise:

Casting and binding demons out loud

Calling their pastors on WhatsApp mid-flight

Crying and confessing their sins to strangers

Clutching charms or spraying anointing oil on the window seat

What they don’t realize is that most in-flight faults are minor, manageable, and not signs of doom. Airplanes today are built with backup systems for almost everything; engines, hydraulics, brakes, even electricity.

This guide breaks down 12 common aircraft faults that sound scary but usually aren’t, with real-world examples, clear explanations, and a severity level. You’ll walk away with one big truth:

Knowledge kills fear. Ignorance fuels drama.

So next time something strange happens in the sky, you’ll know what’s serious and what’s just… a bump in the clouds.

1. Loss of One Engine (Engine-Out Scenario)

Description: One engine fails or is shut down mid-flight.

Cause: Bird strike, mechanical failure, fuel starvation, fire.

Severity: 🔴 High (requires immediate action but aircraft can fly and land safely).

Example: Qantas Flight 32 (A380) suffered an uncontained engine failure but landed safely with three engines.

2. Landing Gear Malfunction (Doesn’t Extend or Retract Fully)

Description: Gear may not lock down or retract completely.

Cause: Hydraulic or mechanical failure, sensor misread, electrical issue.

Severity: 🔴 High (can necessitate belly landing; survivable with proper handling).

Example: LOT Flight 16 performed a successful gear-up landing; no casualties.

3. Hydraulic System Failure (Partial)

Description: Loss of one hydraulic circuit; other systems still functional.

Cause: Pump failure, fluid leak, line rupture.

Severity: 🟠 Moderate to High (depends on system affected, but redundancy helps).

Example: United Airlines 811 lost parts of the hydraulic system but landed safely.

4. Cabin Pressurization Loss

Description: Cabin loses air pressure, leading to hypoxia risk.

Cause: Fuselage crack, door seal failure, explosive decompression.

Severity: 🔴 High (if undetected or mishandled), 🟠 Moderate (if managed quickly).

Example: Southwest Flight 812 had rapid decompression; pilots descended safely.

5. Avionics or Display System Failure (Partial)

Description: Some cockpit displays or instruments fail.

Cause: Software glitch, electrical bus failure, hardware malfunction.

Severity: 🟡 Low to Moderate (manageable with redundancy and manual instruments).

Example: Airbus/Boeing jets have 3-6 display units; pilots can switch displays or use standby.

6. Brake or Anti-Skid System Failure

Description: Reduced braking efficiency during landing or taxi.

Cause: Hydraulic line fault, worn sensors, control unit failure.

Severity: 🟠 Moderate (may result in longer landing roll or hot brakes).

Example: Reverse thrust and manual braking used in case of anti-skid failure.

7. Flap or Slat Malfunction

Description: Asymmetrical or non-deploying lift surfaces during takeoff/landing.

Cause: Motor jam, actuator fault, electrical failure.

Severity: 🟠 Moderate (affects handling and landing speeds).

Example: Pilots use alternate flap settings and higher approach speeds.

8. Electrical Generator or Bus Failure

Description: Loss of one power generation source or distribution channel.

Cause: Generator failure, short circuit, engine accessory drive issue.

Severity: 🟠 Moderate (aircraft are designed to operate with backup sources).

Example: Airbus aircraft deploy RAT (Ram Air Turbine) to restore critical functions.

9. Fuel Tank Imbalance or Pump Failure

Description: Uneven fuel distribution or inability to transfer fuel between tanks.

Cause: Pump fault, blocked line, operator error.

Severity: 🟠 Moderate (can cause trim issues; crossfeed can compensate).

Example: Air Transat Flight 236 lost all fuel due to a pump issue but glided safely.

10. Autopilot Failure

Description: Disengagement or inability of the autopilot to control aircraft.

Cause: Input conflict, servo failure, software fault.

Severity: 🟡 Low to Moderate (increases pilot workload but not inherently dangerous).

Example: Manual flight continues with minor increase in fatigue on long sectors.

11. Pitot-Static System Blockage (Detected)

Description: Airspeed or altitude readings become unreliable.

Cause: Ice, foreign object blockage, failure to remove pitot cover.

Severity: 🔴 High if undetected, 🟠 Moderate if corrected quickly.

Example: Multiple incidents resolved by switching to alternate/static sources or standby instruments.

12. Weather Radar or TCAS Inoperative

Description: Loss of terrain/weather or collision avoidance detection.

Cause: Antenna fault, software failure, power loss.

Severity: 🟠 Moderate (ATC and visual flight can mitigate risks).

Example: Aircraft rerouted or fly only in visual conditions if TCAS or radar is offline.

Top 20 Reactions Passengers Pull When the Plane Jolts or Makes a Weird Noise

Screaming or Gasping - the instant shout that makes everyone else jump.

Clutching the Armrests - white-knuckle grip like they’re on a roller-coaster.

Grabbing a Seatmate (Stranger or Not) - personal-space rules vanish.

Mashing the Call Button - summoning the flight attendant as if they’re air-traffic control.

Praying Out Loud - spontaneous psalms, Hail Marys, or declarations of “Blood of Jesus!”

Casting & Binding Demons - loud spiritual warfare, common on some African routes.

Splashing / Sprinkling “Anointing Oil” - tiny bottles appear like magic.

Making the Sign of the Cross - sometimes repeatedly, in rapid-fire mode.

Reciting Safety Card Instructions - flipping through the card like a final exam cram.

Calling or Texting Loved Ones - “If anything happens, know I love you…” (often no signal).

Recording on Their Phone - vlogging the “last moments” for social media clout.

Rapid-Fire Questioning the Crew - “What was that bang? Are we okay? Tell me now!”

Chugging Alcohol - mini-bottles emptied for liquid courage.

Hyperventilating into a Sick Bag - bag doubles as DIY oxygen mask.

Attempting to Stand Up and Look Out Windows - ignoring seat-belt sign entirely.

Crying or Sobbing Quietly - tears behind sunglasses or hoodie.

Confessing Sins to a Neighbor - sudden life-story overshare: “I cheated on my math test…”

Clutching Charms or Rosaries - fingers flying over beads.

Googling “engine failure mid-air” on in-flight Wi-Fi - worst possible search at 35,000 ft.

Declaring “I’m Never Flying Again!” - until the next cheap airfare deal.

Bottom line: nearly all of these reactions come from not knowing that modern planes are built to handle bumps, bangs, and even single-engine failures safely. A little knowledge beats a lot of panic.
Foreign AffairsElon Musk Apologises To Donald Trump by DrMB(op): 8:37am On Jun 11, 2025
Elon Musk apologized for recent posts about President Donald Trump, admitting they "went too far," in a tweet at 07:04 UTC today. The retraction follows a bitter public spat ignited by Musk's unverified claim on June 7 that Trump was linked to Jeffrey Epstein's files, triggering a $150 billion drop in Tesla's market value and Trump's threats to cut government subsidies for Musk's companies, including SpaceX's $14 billion NASA contracts. The move may reflect damage control, as tensions continue to rise.
I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.

TravelTop 10+ Aircraft Faults That Can Inevitably Lead To A Plane Crash by DrMB(op): 7:29am On Jun 10, 2025
Faults that can inevitably lead to a plane crash are extremely rare due to modern aircraft design, redundancies, and rigorous maintenance protocols. However, certain critical failures, if not mitigated by crew action or backup systems, have the potential to result in catastrophic outcomes. Below is a list of faults that, under specific circumstances, could lead to a crash if they occur without effective intervention. These are drawn from aviation safety analyses, incident reports, and engineering principles, focusing on scenarios where recovery is highly unlikely or impossible.

🔴 CRASH-PRONE FAULTS: NON-RECOVERABLE OR RARELY SURVIVABLE IF UNDETECTED

⚠️ 1. Total Flight Control Failure

Description: Complete loss of control over elevator, ailerons, rudder, or stabilizer.

Cause: Hydraulic failure, software bug in FBW systems, structural jam, or actuator failure.

Example: Japan Airlines Flight 123 — aft pressure bulkhead failed, destroyed hydraulic lines.

⚠️ 2. Dual Engine Failure Without Glide Altitude or Restart

Description: Both engines fail, and the aircraft is too low or unable to glide to safety.

Cause: Fuel exhaustion, bird strike, volcanic ash ingestion, or design flaw.

Example: Air Transat 236 (survived), Avianca 052 (crashed).

⚠️ 3. Uncontained Engine Failure Damaging Vital Systems

Description: Engine explodes and throws debris that severs flight control cables, fuel lines, or causes fire.

Example: United Airlines 232 — DC-10 crash due to complete hydraulic loss after uncontained engine failure.

⚠️ 4. Catastrophic Structural Failure (In-Flight Breakup)

Description: Airframe disintegration due to high G-loads, undetected corrosion, or over-stress.

Cause: Metal fatigue, turbulence, over-speed, or explosive decompression.

Example: American Airlines 587 — vertical stabilizer separation.

⚠️ 5. Runaway Trim or Stabilizer Malfunction

Description: Uncommanded nose-down or nose-up trim that cannot be countered.

Cause: Sensor fault, MCAS flaw, or motor runaway.

Example: Lion Air 610 and Ethiopian Airlines 302 — Boeing 737 MAX crashes due to MCAS.

⚠️ 6. Complete Electrical Failure in IFR Conditions

Description: All navigational and flight instrumentation lost in poor visibility, leading to spatial disorientation.

Cause: Battery, generator, or bus failures without backup.

Example: Helios 522 — pressurization issue led to incapacitation and crash; electrical issues contributed.

⚠️ 7. Fire in Flight (Uncontrollable or Hidden)

Description: Rapidly spreading fire (cargo, cabin, avionics bay) that disables controls or causes structural melt.

Cause: Lithium-ion batteries, flammable cargo, electrical short, sabotage.

Example: Swissair 111 — fire in cockpit wiring; crew lost all avionics and crashed into ocean.

⚠️ 8. Pitot-Static System Failure (Undetected or Misinterpreted)

Description: Blocked or frozen sensors give false airspeed data, leading to stall or overspeed.

Cause: Pitot tube icing, system malfunction, sensor miscalibration.

Example: Air France 447 — pitot tube iced up; pilots misunderstood data and stalled.

⚠️ 9. Horizontal Stabilizer or Elevator Hardover

Description: Sudden uncommanded movement of pitch control surface; aircraft enters uncontrollable dive or climb.

Cause: Servo failure, actuator jam, mis-trimmed stabilizer.

Example: Alaska Airlines 261 — jackscrew failure led to catastrophic nose-down dive.

⚠️ 10. Rudder Reversal or Jam

Description: Uncommanded rudder movement causing uncontrollable yaw and roll, especially at high speeds.

Cause: Servo malfunction, actuator anomaly.

Example: United Airlines 585 and USAir 427 — 737 rudder hardover; unrecoverable loss of control.

⚠️ 11. Mid-Air Collision Due to TCAS/ATC Failure

Description: Collision with another aircraft due to lack of TCAS alert or pilot error.

Cause: ATC miscommunication, TCAS failure, pilot disregard.

Example: Überlingen mid-air collision — Russian Tu-154 and DHL 757.

⚠️ 12. Fuel Tank Explosion (Ignition from Electrical Fault)

Description: Central or wing fuel tank ignites due to spark from wire chafing or lightning.

Cause: Aging insulation, hot short, overpressure.

Example: TWA Flight 800 — center tank explosion due to short circuit.

🧠 Bonus Insight: Latent Faults That Turn Fatal

These may appear benign but, when paired with human error or environmental stressors, become deadly:

Misconfigured autopilot inputs (e.g., wrong vertical mode)

Incorrect altimeter settings on approach

Poorly maintained pressurization leading to hypoxia (e.g., Helios 522)

Software/firmware bugs (especially in FBW aircraft)

🛡️ Crash Avoidance Requires:

Redundancy in avionics, hydraulics, and control surfaces

Rigorous maintenance checks

Pilot training for edge-case scenarios (simulators)

Real-time failure recognition (ECAM, EICAS, FOQA)

Quick decision-making: aviate–navigate–communicate

PoliticsNo Energy, No Prosperity: Energy Consumption Comparison Of Nigeria, China, USA by DrMB(op): 9:28am On Jun 08, 2025
The more I study history, economics, and technology, the clearer one truth becomes: there are no low-energy, high-income nations. Energy abundance isn’t a luxury, it’s the backbone of civilization. It powers our factories, fuels our transport, electrifies our homes, and multiplies our productivity.

This is why the developing world, especially across Africa, remains trapped in systemic poverty: it suffers from chronic energy poverty. Without cheap, reliable, scalable energy, even the most well-intentioned reforms collapse under the weight of logistical and infrastructural limits. You can’t build a digital economy on diesel generators. You can’t run advanced manufacturing without grid stability. You can’t grow a middle class in the dark.

In the developed world, the stagnation in energy growth over the past few decades is the loudest silent alarm. It signals not just environmental caution, but economic compaction. The reason the Boomers experienced explosive prosperity was not just policy or demographics. It was because we were adding energy; cheap, dense, abundant energy, at a historic pace.

If we want the next generation to thrive, especially in the Global South, we must confront this core truth: no energy, no prosperity.

Energy abundance is the master key

Nairaland GeneralRe: You Can Now Block People On Nairaland (for A Time) by DrMB: 12:28pm On May 29, 2025
Seun:
Dear Nairalanders,

We have just activated a feature that allows you to block people who harass you for a period of time (currently a week).

When you block someone, you will be automatically blocked back by that person, so you won't be able to see each others' posts.

When the fixed period is over, you will both be released automatically, giving you another chance to treat each other better.

The admin, super-moderators, and moderators cannot block people or be blocked.

To block someone, visit the person's profile and click on the [ Block ] button shown below:

Enjoy your new power. But remember that you're also blocking yourself. wink
Ever spent time on Nairaland or social media and felt like the same types of people show up in every argument? That’s because they do.
Dunning-Kruger Disciple: The super confident guy who talks like an expert but clearly doesn’t understand what he’s saying.
Then there’s the Belief Perseverance Poster: One who sticks to false info no matter how many facts you show them, and the Contrarian Disorder Commenter: The always-opposite dude who disagrees just to stand out. These kinds of people aren’t just annoying, they confuse others, spread lies, and make real conversations harder. The best thing you can do? Spot them early, don’t fall for the bait, and always speak clearly so others, the quiet ones watching, can see what makes sense.
