Switzerland has lost almost one-fifth of its ice in just five years, in a dramatic reshaping of the Alpine country whose big white glaciers have been reduced to moonlike rock deserts, scientists say. Swiss glaciers shrank by 5.5% in the first eight months of 2026, according to an annual […]

We used to catch up on sleep during the day after Russia’s nighttime attacks. Now I have no idea when we’re supposed to sleep – the Russians are attacking us day and night. It’s not like all 3.5M people living in Kyiv can just pack up and move somewhere else.

If oil remains over $100 per barrel, an important factor will be that battery storage installations have dropped below that cost level at end of last year. It is literally cheaper to build and operate a 100MWh battery facility than to buy oil at this price.

This is bad. From @economist.com
ArcelorMittal said it was stopping production at Ukraine's biggest steel plant. Europe's largest steelmaker said that it was unable to conduct "safe and sustainable" operations after Russia attacked the plant four times in five weeks, killing five workers. Steel once made up 15% of Ukraine's exports.
Russia has been pummeling the country's infrastructure with ballistic missiles and, recently, jet-powered drones to cripple its economy.

Silti DR löysi Metan alustoilta liki 30 000 sovellusmainosta. Nämä olivat vain tanskalaiselle yleisölle kohdistettuja, joten mainosten todellinen määrä oli todennäköisesti paljon suurempi.

Ylen verifiointitiimi ei ole tehnyt yhtä kattavaa selvitystä suomalaisille kohdistetuista mainoksista. Etsin näitä kuitenkin itse ennen DR:n jutun julkaisua Metan mainoskirjastosta, joka listaa yhtiön alustoilla näkyvät mainokset.

Löysin parissa työpäivässä tuhansia riisumissovellusmainoksia, jotka oli kohdistettu suomalaisille. Niiden kohderyhmäksi oli tyypillisesti valittu 18–65-vuotiaat miehet.

Mainoksia oli helppo löytää tiettyjen hakutermien avulla, koska samat lauseenpätkät toistuivat kymmenissä tai sadoissa mainoksissa.

Osa mainoksista käyttää varsin roisia pornografista kuvastoa, kuten suuseksiä. Se lävähtää katsojan silmille vasta videon käynnistyessä. Mainoksen pysäytyskuvissa voi sen sijaan näkyä tekoälykuvia lumisista vuoristoista tai loisteliaista auringonlaskuista.
