📷 The world’s oldest surviving photograph, View from the Window at Le Gras, is turning 200 years old.

French inventor Nicéphore Niépce created the image in 1826 using a plate coated with bitumen.

He had developed the heliography process in the early 1820s, initially using it to reproduce drawings.

Earlier images made with a camera obscura are known to have existed, but none of them survived.

It doesn’t hack any passwords — it simply floods the frequencies with interference until nearby devices can no longer receive a usable signal.

💣 Russia’s use of glide bombs is approaching 9,000 per month.

According to data from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, the pace continues to rise: 5,717 in January, 7,987 in March, followed by three consecutive months above 8,000 — 8,266 in June, 8,385 in July and 8,766 in August, the highest monthly figure since the start of the conflict.

That is almost four times more than in June 2024, when the figure stood at 2,210.

📈 Western media remain heavily focused on drones, but these glide bombs are often responsible for some of the heaviest destruction on frontline positions.

The true number of Ukrainian soldiers killed in such strikes may never be fully known: in many cases, the targeted positions are completely destroyed, making recovery and identification extremely difficult.
