Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season.

Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz serves on the board of Databricks, and partner Martin Casado is a board member of Fivetran.

It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically.

China has announced its first mandatory national safety standard for Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous vehicles, tightening safety requirements for selfdriving cars in the world's largest automotive market.中国出台首部适用于3级、4级自动驾驶车辆的强制性国家安全标准，在全球规模最大的汽车市场收紧自动驾驶汽车的安全规定。The safety requirements for automated driving systems of intelligent connected vehicles, which will take effect on July 1, 2027, have been approved by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Administration. The rules were introduced on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Tuesday.这份《智能网联汽车 自动驾驶系统安全要求》已于国家市场监督管理总局、国家标准化管理委员会获批，将于2027年7月1日正式施行；该规定于周二在工业和信息化部官网对外发布。Unlike previous driver assistance technologies, the L3 automated driving system enables vehicles to take over certain driving tasks under specific conditions, while still requiring human intervention. The L4 system can perform driving tasks without human input in designated environments.和以往的驾驶员辅助技术不同，3级自动驾驶系统可在特定工况下接管部分驾驶操作，但依旧需要人类随时介入；4级自动驾驶系统能够在划定运行区域内，无需人为操控便可完成全部驾驶任务。According to the new requirements, automated driving systems must achieve an equivalent safety level to that of a qualified and attentive human driver performing the same dynamic driving tasks while avoiding unnecessary risks to passengers and other road users.新规提出，自动驾驶系统执行动态驾驶任务时，安全水准须等同于一名资质合格、注意力集中的驾驶人，同时需要规避给车内乘员以及其他道路参与者带来多余风险。The standard introduces clearer requirements for humanmachine interaction, which has become an increasingly important issue as drivers shift between automated and manual control.该标准针对人机交互制定了更为明晰的规范；当驾驶员在自动驾驶、人工操控之间来回切换时，人机交互现已成为愈发关键的难题。For L3 vehicles, manufacturers must equip their systems with driver takeover monitoring to ensure that motorists are able to resume control when requested. Vehicles must also provide clear information regarding when automated driving is ready, activated or disengaged. If a human driver fails to respond to a takeover request, the vehicle must automatically execute a minimumrisk maneuver, which is a predefined sequence designed to bring the vehicle to the safest possible state.针对3级自动驾驶车辆，车企必须搭载驾驶员接管监测系统，保证驾驶人收到接管提示之后可以顺利拿回车辆控制权。车辆还需要清晰提示自动驾驶待命、开启以及退出的状态。倘若驾驶员没有响应接管提醒，车辆需要自动执行最低风险处置操作；该预设操作流程可以令车辆进入风险最低的运行状态。Rao Qing, chief architect for global solutions at the autonomous driving company Momenta, said, "The release of the mandatory national standard marks the beginning of a new phase for China's autonomous driving industry, where largescale commercialization is built on safety and clear regulatory benchmarks."自动驾驶企业毫末智行全球方案总架构师饶晴表示：“这项强制性国标落地，标志着国内自动驾驶行业迈入全新阶段，行业规模化商业化，今后将建立在安全保障与清晰的监管准则之上。”Since the beginning of the year, regulators have introduced standards relating to simulation testing, vehicle communications and Level 2 driverassistance systems, as well as mandatory safety requirements for higher levels of automation, resulting in one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for selfdriving vehicles in the country.今年开年至今，监管部门陆续出台仿真测试、车载通信、2级驾驶辅助系统相关标准，同时推出高阶自动驾驶强制安全规范，搭建起国内一套完备度靠前的自动驾驶汽车监管体系。Last year, China granted conditional approval to its first L3 autonomous passenger vehicles and positioned intelligent driving as a key area of development.去年我国有条件准许首批3级自动驾驶乘用车投产上路，并将智能驾驶划定为重点发展赛道。The latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that in the first half of this year, 70.5 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in China were equipped with L2 combined driver assistance systems, which means that roughly seven out of every 10 new vehicles were equipped with such technology.工信部最新数据显示：今年上半年，国内售出的全新乘用车当中，70.5%搭载有2级组合驾驶辅助系统，相当于每十台新车大约有七台配备该技术。However, some industry experts said that fewer than 10 percent of L2equipped vehicle owners have actually activated or used the driver assistance functions.但多名业内专家称，搭载2级辅助驾驶的车主里，实际开启、使用该辅助功能的人数占比不足一成。Jiang Han, a senior researcher at the think tank Pangoal, said: "The new mandatory national standard marks a fundamental shift in China's regulation for autonomous driving — from giving emerging technologies room to develop, to imposing hard requirements to ensure safety. It will also promote the healthy development of China's autonomous driving market, as it continues to develop at a rapid speed."盘古智库高级研究员江瀚谈到：“全新强制性国标代表我国自动驾驶监管思路发生根本性转变：从给新兴技术留出发展空间，转向硬性规定保障行车安全。在国内自动驾驶市场高速扩张的背景之下，该标准同样能够助推行业良性发展。”mandatory /ˈmændətəri/强制的，法定的autonomous /ɔːˈtɒnəməs/自主的；自动驾驶的intervention /ˌɪntəˈvenʃn/干预，介入maneuver /məˈnuːvə(r)/操作，机动处置simulation /ˌsɪmjuˈleɪʃn/模拟fundamental /ˌfʌndəˈmentl/根本的，基础的

Que tu rentres en L1, L2, L3 ou Master Droit à la rentrée, tu as forcément entendu des clichés ou des mythes sur ton année en fac de droit;Attention à ce que ça ne te coûte pas très cher au final- On voit ça ensemble aujourd'hui.

Foundations of Amateur Radio When the Sun burps, something that it does regularly, the mainstream media starts talking about aurorae and optionally the end of the civilised world, not always as clinically as that. What's not talked about, let alone explained, is the nature of the solar burp. You've likely heard the terms Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME, Solar Flare and perhaps Solar Wind, Solar and Geomagnetic Storm, and Solar Flux, but what do these terms actually mean and how do they relate? Let's start with some basic numbers. Our Sun is 150 million kilometres away from Earth. As seen from Earth, the Sun rotates on its axis every 27 days, called a synodic rotation period, because while the Sun is rotating, Earth is moving too. If that wasn't enough, the Sun isn't solid, depending on where you're looking at it, rotation happens at different speeds, faster at the equator, slower at the poles. You might have heard of the Solar Cycle, an 11 year period during which solar activity steadily increases, near the maximum activity its magnetic poles flip from North to South and activity slowly decreases until the cycle starts again. Until quite recently we've deduced this by counting the number of dark areas, called sunspots, on the surface of the Sun. All this to say that our Sun is one massively dynamic environment and with it come a whole lot of processes that science is still discovering. The YouTube channel Astrum has a fascinating video called "We Didn't Predict the Sun Would Do This", that describes much of what we're still learning. We experience the Sun as a source of light, but as a radio amateur you know that light only represents a small set of frequencies in the radio spectrum, it's better to think of the Sun as a radio source, emitting many frequencies at once. The strength of this is measured at 2.8 GHz three times a day at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00 UTC at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. This measurement, the Solar Flux gives a good indication of the level of solar activity. Adjusted for the varying distance between Earth and the Sun, a Solar Flux Index, or SFI, below 70 means that solar activity is very low, above 150 is considered very high activity. In addition to radio waves, the Sun also spits out a continuous wave of particles. Different parts of the Sun emit these at different speeds, varying between 300 and 800 km/s. These particles, the Solar Wind, exist throughout our Solar system. Because the Sun rotates and the particles aren't being emitted evenly we experience the solar wind as having a 27 day cycle. Think of a water filled beach-ball hanging from a rope with a hole in it, spinning, creating spirals of water. Stand in one spot and every time the ball rotates, you get hit by water. When the Sun burps, often at a sunspot, where concentrations of magnetic fields cool the surface, bursts of electromagnetic radiation are generated throughout the radio spectrum. Measured in Watts per square meter, this radiation is called a Solar Flare. Travelling at the speed of light, it takes about nine minutes to arrive at Earth. Sunspot and solar activity is used to model and predict the potential for solar flares. Strength is classified in four stages, class B being the weakest, through C, M, and class X being the strongest, each ten times more powerful than the previous. Within each class, numbers 1 through 9 serve to provide additional resolution, X2 being twice as strong as X1. The most powerful flare on record was estimated to be about X45, recorded on 4 November 2003, when at strength X17 the sensors overloaded. Some solar flares coincide with a massive eruption of particles, some of which are ejected violently, called a Coronal Mass Ejection or CME. A slow CME, travelling at 500 km/s might take three days to hit Earth, an extreme CME, travelling at up to 2,500 km/s might arrive in 16 hours. As the CME particles arrive, they distort Earth's geomagnetic field and depending on the severity, might cause a geomagnetic storm where fields are pushed closer towards Earth causing visual effects as aurorae. Recovery generally takes up to two days, but in extreme cases has been observed to take four. Disturbances of Earth's magnetic field are highly variable and are expressed in several different ways, the K, Kp, A, Ap and G indices. The K-index measured at individual observatories, ranges from 0 to 9 over a three hour period represents the maximum horizontal fluctuation in the geomagnetic field. Values of 5 and above indicating a geomagnetic storm. The planetary Kp-index represents a weighted average of 13 mid-latitude observatories. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA uses a G-scale, between 1 and 5, equivalent to a Kp-index between 5 and 9. The A-index is derived over eight K-index readings over a 24 hour UTC period at a particular observatory, below 20 is calm, between 20 and 50 is unsettled and above 50 is a stormy day. The Ap-index is an averaged planetary index based on data from a set of specific Kp stations. There's more. In 1760, a publication by Swiss polymath Leonard Euler indicated the existence of three stationary points between any two large bodies, known today as L1, L2 and L3. In 1772, Italian born, French mathematician, physicist and astronomer, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, discovered two more stationary points, L4 and L5. Known as the Euler-Lagrange, or Lagrange Points, some of these locations are being used today for solar observations, predictions and early warning systems. Launched on 24 September 2025 and in orbit at L1, between the Sun and Earth, at a distance of 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, the SOLAR-1 satellite acts as an early warning for solar storms. Since particles travel slower than the speed of light, this provides about 15 minutes warning for extreme CME's and longer for slower events. It became fully operational on the 10th of June, 2026. As part of the same Space Situational Awareness Programme as SOLAR-1 is the European Space Agency's Vigil space mission. Intended to be placed at L5, 150 million kilometres from Earth, it will be able to observe solar activity as the Sun rotates towards Earth and reports indicate that this will increase early CME warning by two to four hours. Vigil will also allow for four to five day space weather forecasts. It's planned for launch in 2031, mind you, it's going to take three years to get to L5. Aimed with all that information, I was actually, for the first time, able to at least understand the solar report in my Mastodon feed. "The Sunspot Number has dropped to 88. The Solar Flux Index has risen to 149. G1-class geomagnetic storms are predicted for today. A-Index is 14, K-Index is 2. Chance of flares today: 55% for M-Class, 10% for X-Class." Armed with that information I'm going to make myself a cuppa and figure out what my WSPR beacon has to say about all this. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

According to research by IBM, just 16% of AI initiatives have achieved scale. Why? Because few organizations have the structure and data to support long-term AI investments. So, how do you build an AI-ready system? Riley Rogers: Welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Rich Weymer, Senior Director of Go-To-Market Strategy and Transformation at Yubico. Thank you so much for joining us today, Rich. I’m super excited to have you here to dig into all the expertise that you’re gonna bring to the table. As we’re kicking off, I’d love if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Rich Weymer: Yeah. First off, thanks for having me. A repeat customer with Highspot, so excited to get invited to this, as we’ve worked with your organization for some time now. Like you said, Rich Weymer. I’ve spent time pretty much so in tech for most of my professional career in one form or fashion, from my earlier career days at Microsoft working in consumer goods, where I’ve worked on video games, your Office products, all your devices, through where I’m at today in the security world. RR: Well, amazing, and bravo, tech veteran. Not easy. RW: Yeah. It looks a lot different today than it did when I started, that’s for sure. RR: And I think that is exactly what we’re gonna talk about today. But before we go into where the world of tech has been to where we are today, I’d love if you could give us a little bit of foundational context for folks who might not be familiar with Yubico. Could you give us a little walkthrough of who your company is, what you do, who you serve? RW: Yeah. So Yubico does phishing resistance hardware MFA, which basically means we ship you a little bitty key that helps control access to all your online portals and logins and everything along those lines. RR: As somebody who is password challenged, I certainly see the value of that one. I wish we had a wonderful little bitty key that got me set up for success every single day. One thing that I think you set up early on is that Yubico, and pretty much every other organization in the industry, is moving fast, and it has to. Security in this day and age is harder than ever. And when it comes to working in a fast-moving organization, teams like yours also have to move fast. I’d guess that that pace of change is part of the reason why you have a really forward-looking approach to enablement and to go-to-market strategy. So why do you think it’s important to think critically about how technology can transform traditional workflows, processes that you’re accustomed to, things like that? RW: Again, to your point, things are moving so fast right now. That’s the biggest underlying factor that organizations really need to think through. Decisions that you’re making today are almost obsolete by the time you’re done signing the paperwork on whatever decisions or procurement you’re going through. So you need to be really thoughtful about the foundations that you’re building, the integrations that you’re gonna lean on, and the partners that you’re gonna select that are gonna be around for the long run. Measure twice, cut once, and also understand that there’s different types of decisions that you’re gonna be making. I use the analogy of a hat, a haircut, or a tattoo. What type of decision are you making when you’re thinking about your technologies? If it’s a hat, you can switch it in and out real quick. If it’s a haircut, maybe it takes a little bit of time to unwind. And those tattoos are the ones that you just can’t change. They’re gonna be– They’re– You’re gonna live with them forever. So you really gotta just understand the lens that you’re making the decisions through, as well as having an industry understanding of where things are heading. And as you look at your partners, thinking, “Hey, at the pace at which innovation is happening, is this someone that’s gonna be relevant six months, 12 months, 18 months from now?” RR: I have not heard that decision-making framework before, hat, haircut, tattoo. RW: It’s an easy one, yeah. A lot of organizations think everything’s a tattoo. So you make every decision like it’s the last decision you’re ever gonna make in that space. And it’s right for a lot of things, but framing it goes a long way, especially when you’re trying to move fast. Being able to categorize those decisions pretty quickly goes a long way. RR: Yeah. And it helps you avoid the problem of when everything’s important, nothing is. You mentioned systems, data, processes, having the right tools in place to move quickly. So with that perspective in mind, how are you thinking about layering on AI? RW: I think about it every day and night, in every meeting I’m sitting in, and every conversation I’m having, and every free minute when I’m thinking about work. The big thing is automation and AI for the sake of AI, and automation for the sake of automation, it really doesn’t mean anything unless you have a strong foundation and an understanding of your data. So to me, it all just boils down to a strong foundational data set and understanding what to measure and what moves your business, and then building around that first and foremost before you do anything else. RR: What do you need in that foundation before you can start building AI on top of it in order for those initiatives to be successful? RW: If I were to think through how I structure this, there’s no shortage of ways to measure the business, but landing on one that’s influential and helps you adjust the dials as you go is really important. So the way I operate is through the lens of sales velocity, which is a time-tested mathematical problem to give you a temperature check on how the business is doing. It’ll let you know whether you’re going up, down, left, right, staying center, or whatever it is. But where organizations stop is they stop at the top four measurements, which, if you think of sales velocity, is open opportunities, average deal size, win rate, and then you divide that by your deal cycle length. That gives you a daily throughput, which tells you part of the story because you can help understand your forecasting. When you take your close one business, you can use that to forecast days left in the quarter, what those numbers would look like. But where it gets really powerful, and what I think a lot of organizations haven’t spent the time to do, is go deeper on the leveling of those metrics. So if you think through the process lines, L1 is your executive metric. That’s the all-up number. Your L2s are your leadership numbers, where your managers need to understand those. But your L3, four, five, six, and you can keep going down the rabbit hole, really start impacting how your frontline folks operate. One of the things we’ll talk about today is AI Role Play, and when we think of it, we look at diagnosing issues in our win rates, and we think, “How is our competitive wins doing? What are we, we get very, very granular in how we look at those.” And then we can actually start layering on recommendations and automation. So we do that across probably close to 100 different metrics through the various layers that are our leading indicators. And this really helps us when we think through automation of where we go from here, ’cause once we understand those, we know how are we doing against certain competitors? Are we getting the right amount of MQLs? Are we talking about the right things? Do we get caught up in legal, security? We can understand all those different variables of the business, and then we can take a proactive approach to coaching where we need to coach, and then adjusting the business where we need to adjust the business. And you can’t really do that unless you have that entire foundation laid out and actually understand what all those levers are. So to me, taking the time to do that is really just beyond critical. RR: Yeah. Yeah. You know what you need to do, and you can start driving really aggressively against it, which I– it sounds like you alluded to an example there with AI Role Play, you’re doing the work to do. In that, you’re beginning to layer some of these new technologies, new tools on top of that foundation. What were some of those first use cases that you prioritized, and why did you start where you did? RW: I think the first win you always wanna go for is really a practical application of any new technology and how that can move the needle for the business. So when I think of practical applications, I think of AI Role Play as being a very early one. As an enablement team and a training team, how many times have people walked through certification programs, the one-on-ones with managers, all the Role Plays, all the back and forth and the headaches and the objectivity that goes into those exercises. That’s just a quick win that you can pick up and take care of almost all of that. The time saving alone and the cost of having a manager do these one-on-ones time and time again, it just drains an organization when every organization right now is trying to be lean, mean, focused on sales efficiency. So anything we can do to give back and level the team up, I think is just a no-brainer. So AI Role Play is a huge one for us. We looked at a lot of different places. We tried a lot of different things, and we landed on the Highspot implementation of that because it’s important to be able to do that stuff, but also it has to be within the context of everything you’re doing and all the content and everything that you do have. It can’t be this standalone siloed thing that happens in the background. We need to bring it to the forefront. Yeah, those are the really practical first-step wins that I’ve been excited about. RR: Yeah, and that’s such a good example of mapping it back to those foundational levers. The path there is very clear, I think. RW: Yeah, absolutely. Think of a competitive– your competitive intelligence programs. You do all this work understanding your competitors. Now you can understand when a seller of yours struggles with insert competitor X, Y, or Z. You can identify those trainings, you can recommend the trainings, you can verify they’ve been through them, and then if that’s not working, then you can escalate to coaching and go a little bit deeper from there. So the foundation of the data will help you identify that stuff, and then you start applying the technologies. That’s how you go fix the gap. And then you can monitor it and just keep it going, almost near real time, which is incredible. A lot of the time, organizations are really spending most of their time hearing yesterday’s weather. And when I mean that, I think of, you do a QBR, you go through a quarter, you spend 30 days doing the QBR. At the end of the QBR, you find the problems, you take 30 more days to figure out what the underlying problems are, then you spend 120 days fixing those problems. Then you’re six months removed from what the problem was, and now you got a whole new set of problems that you’re not even keeping up with the business. So being able to identify these things, move quickly, and make recommendations really fast is incredible in the amount of time it buys back an organization to execute, and that you’re focused on the right things at the right time. RR: I’d be curious to hear a little bit about, you mentioned a handful of teams there in some of the early AI Role Play rollout and piloting. How did you start thinking about who you wanted to test this with, the kinds of pilots you wanted to build, and how has that going so far? RW: We tested globally as a global organization. We tried US-based, EMEA, APJ folks. We took a look at various groups from various geographical regions because adoption’s an uptick, and accountability is different at the global scale. The use cases really were tied around what’s our biggest blind spots, and what do we not know, and how do we validate that? As a group that has a BDR team, an SDR team as an example, if you have sellers that don’t wanna work with their BDRs ’cause they’re not confident that their BDRs are competent, then here’s a great way to say, “Hey, actually, we’ve already been them– we’ve taken them through the ringer. We’ve seen that they’re able to demonstrate this stuff, and honestly, we’re building scenarios that are harder for them to get through than you actually deal with, with customers.” So we can stress test the teams, and then sellers don’t respond to customers with ABC answers. They have to be able to be versed in these conversations, so being able to do that was a huge unlock for us, because folks aren’t practicing with their paycheck. Well, the worst place you wanna go figure this stuff out is in front of a customer, so give someone a very safe space to go practice and cut their teeth, and they will just accelerate if they get behind it and really try this stuff out. So yeah, find the high ROI cases, double down on those, share that experience, be vocal about it, and make sure others feel it. Then yeah, that’s how you just get that adoption and the needle moving. RR: Something that I feel like is not as spoken about when it comes to training, Role Plays, et cetera, all of that stuff, is now you have this trust between your counterparts, and you have more of this connective tissue purely because of that, which is really interesting, and I’ve not, I don’t think, heard anyone speak to that element of it before. So curious if you could give me a little bit more of a sense of what that has done for you guys. RW: Yeah. And, as I mentioned, I’ve– I’m five-ish years into the security business, and this is just a business built on trust. So we have to gain the trust of our customers. It’s important in any sales cycle. It’s a hundredfold more important when you’re talking about the security of your organization. So I think intrinsically our– the businesses are highly trust-driven with the folks that they work with, even internally. So, if you think through customer journeys, from trusting they’re landing the right messaging and marketing, to the right message that BDRs are delivering, our sellers deliver it, talking about the right things and delivering the proposals towards the outcomes that the customers are expecting, to how your account team then goes and manages that account or gets ready for renewals. There has to be that thread of trust across those because each one sets one up for failure if not done correctly. And having a verified way of saying, “Hey, I can trust that my coworkers that are working upstream for me are doing the right things and they are competent,” that’s only gonna make you deliver and do better in your particular role, and it’s gonna want you to step your game up, too. RR: Sometimes I feel like folks present a strategy the way it’s working out for them, and I have a thoughtful response to it. But in this case, the only thing I have to say is that’s so cool. It’s really, really cool to see all the different ways that this can show up for an organization beyond what we expect. RW: If you were to turn the clock back two years, AI-based Role Play, that was beyond the bleeding edge. There wasn’t even an edge. It was so far out of the realm. But these things come up quickly, and you wanna be able to jump on ’em and move on ’em. Again, it’s just moving so fast that you have to have that trust and have a team around you that’s willing to build on the successes you’ve had in a past life. So it does take time to get to that point. It doesn’t happen overnight. It gets quicker, that’s the thing, ’cause now, if you think through how you go through a launch in a past life, go back two years: you spin up the marketing machine, they come up with the slides, you host a call, you do a webinar, you send the field out, say, “Go figure it out.” If you’re lucky, you did Role Plays with the managers, you had a competency test, you sat down, maybe you brought some external resources in to actually manage this. And now with technology, you can scope it, build it, deploy it, have everybody through it in a few weeks, and you can actually verify that people can do these things, where in a past life, just none of that existed. You can build trust faster and move quicker today because the technologies enable that stuff. It’s not the, I’ve got a six-month sales cycle, so I don’t know what my sales look like, or I don’t know how well things are going until six months down the line when you’re actually seeing the end-of-line conversions. You just move so much faster right now. It’s, yeah, really exciting. RR: Okay. So we’ve touched on, I think, a lot of some of the granular detail, and I think gotten a picture of what work at Yubico looks like right now. And I think it has been what sounds like a busy few months to get to this point. So since making some of these changes, being really thoughtful about building out your foundation, starting to layer in those early AI use cases, what impact have you seen on things like seller efficiency, time savings, productivity, anything like that? RW: We are cutting so much time out of the administrative burden of our team. It’s hard to put an exact number on it, but we’re looking at reducing sales cycles by upwards of 25% this year. Where if you think through a longer sales cycle on the security side, where things can take six, seven, eight months, if you can carve out a month back on those processes, it unlocks a lot of organizational capacity. So we are heavy on how we are doing that this year, and sales efficiency is one of our big topics for this year. And ideally, in a perfect world, you have the right team that, as you give efficiency time back and give them time to focus on selling, they go out and sell more. You can cut their day down to two hours a day, but what are they gonna do with the rest of the hours of those days to actually go get after it? So we’re cutting time out of their workload, making things easier on them, and then how are we surfacing the latest and greatest new opportunities and more guidance to them, to be a little bit more honed on where to go and focus on the stuff that technology’s not replacing right now, which is the human interaction and the conversations you have to have with your buyers. So that’s our goal today, it’s just every single day, how do we chip away, chip away, chip away? And I think we’re doing a pretty, pretty solid job of that right now. And things that take hours, three, four, five hours to do, you can do in a button click these days. So on a 40-hour week, if that’s all you work, that would be nice. But if you’re doing 40 hours a week and you’re cutting four or five hours out, 10%, 12% of your week is a huge give back on a timing perspective. So we are, yeah, really excited about all that work right now. RR: You mentioned that 25% reduction, which you said, “That’s a solid, that’s solid progress.” I would call that more than solid progress, but that’s just me. Would you say that part of that or some of that could be attributed to that improved ability to practice those conversations and show up better when you’re actually having them live? RW: Absolutely. There’s the process side of house, which is where we can carve a lot of time out, but the competency within that process goes a long way. Just the basics. Can you get somebody to set that follow-up call? Don’t let the customer off the call until you have a next step booked. Even just little things like that, that you get off the call and then it takes you a couple days to schedule that next meeting. You just get rid of coaching that stuff out. Those basics that every seller always knows about, that adds up when you’re thinking enterprise-wide. That goes a long way. So again, foundational data, even just looking at the basics and doing really good at the basics and training people to that, you’re gonna find time back. RR: To my earlier point about a lot of people are excited but don’t quite know what to do, that’s a very specific example of what can you coach to meaningfully? How can you use Role Play to help you train away those bad behaviors that decrease your velocity, decrease your momentum, and in turn cause that chain reaction down the line? So with all this work in mind, what do you think the future of go-to-market, of enablement, looks like at Yubico? What’s next? RW: Ooh, that’s the multi-multi-multi-million dollar question. Someone who’s been around tech for a while, you see patterns in where things are going. I challenge everybody that I talk to about some form of initiative, or obviously a lot of AI discussions today. But if you challenge things from a first-principles perspective, why are you even doing these things? And I think that is a question that organizations need to ask themselves, is why are you doing this, and why are you doing it this way? Does that even make sense in tomorrow’s world of where things are heading? It’s how are you driving decisions? How are you recommending actions? And how are you actually activating on the data and the information that you have? I think that’s where go-to-market goes. It becomes less understanding and reading yesterday’s weather, as I say, and it takes that data and makes it actionable and pushes us forward versus just catches us up, which is also very, very exciting because the things that we thought were out of reach six months ago are in reach now. RR: For people listening who might be, with that last sentence, feeling a little bit inspired but also uncertain, like, oh gosh, how do I keep pace? What would you say to leaders in tech and in other spaces who feel pressured to do AI, perform the thing, layer it into their programs where they can, but aren’t sure where to start? What would you– What advice would you give them, having done it yourself? RW: Start. That’s the key. It sounds silly, but everybody kinda has this not really sure where to start, and that’s okay. I think you just gotta start. First and foremost, you have to just dabble a little bit, get your feet wet, and it all starts to come clear. If you’re thinking through the models that are out there, ask it questions, use it to teach you what you don’t know and where to go. But really it’s your thought partner in how you use these things. You have questions? Ask it questions. You get stuck? Ask it why you’re stuck. Ask it wh– it can do a lot of the things that I think would really surprise people, that will help them head down the right direction. And again, we’re– I say it jokingly, we’re not protein folding. It’s not that crazy, the stuff that we’re doing. You’ll see that there’s a lot of people that have been successful, and you can go a long way just asking the right questions. Don’t be afraid. Do things in a smart way. Make sure your identities are locked down. Shout out, Yubico. Make sure that you’re working with your security teams and doing the right things, and you’ve got access controls in place, of course. But just start. That’s the biggest thing I could tell people, is just start. You’d be amazed how far you can go. RR: Very inspirational to close with. And also, I think a bitter truth sometimes. It’s very much the best way to learn is by doing. RW: Yeah, 100%. I always get the, “Rich, what should I do?” I’m like, “Well, just ask the question.” Just literally just start. Just start. Just get in there and do it, and get going. And really the other thing I would say, on the starting point, is try and build a system where you give people the guardrails to be successful, get the benefits of AI, but also don’t get in the way and stifle innovation. You wanna empower people to go figure things out. Give them the chance to start as well. If you’re a leader in one of these organizations, empower the folks on the front lines to do these things, because this technology is just peeling out those middle layers. The closer you sit to the customers, the more impactful work you’re gonna be able to do. So get your frontline people working on this stuff. RR: I have to say, I think I said it a couple times, but some really interesting, very actionable things, I think, you shared today. So I really appreciate you taking the time to give us some of those recommendations on how to get started with AI, what’s working for you with AI Role Play, all of the goodness on how to not be scared to get started. RW: Thank you again for having me. This has been a lot of fun. RR: Yeah. To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize go-to-market success with Highspot.

Somewhere in the multiverse, a cleric just whispered "I prepared Bless," and three dice immediately rolled higher out of pure fear. Because clerics aren't "the healbot," they're the divine Swiss Army knife: buffer, debuffer, front-liner, artillery, investigator, walking lie detector, and occasionally the person who politely asks a demon to leave and the demon actually does. Today we're building clerics from levels 1–10: how to pick your domain, what to prepare, how to stop wasting actions, and how to make your table say, "Wait… clerics can do that?" Show notes Cleric identity at levels 1–10: You're a full caster with armor, a strong action economy toolkit, and some of the best "party-wide value per spell slot" in the game. Choosing a Domain (Subclass) with intent What each domain wants to do in combat (frontline, blaster, controller, support, utility). How domain spells shape your "default prep list." The hidden question: "Do I want to solve problems with my action, my bonus action, or my reaction?" Ability scores and build priorities Wisdom as your engine (save DCs, prepared spells, key features). Constitution for concentration survivability. Strength vs Dexterity depending on armor and weapon plans. Armor, weapons, and "being accidentally hard to kill" Light/medium/heavy armor considerations. Shield math and when it's worth it. Weapon use: when it's a trap, when it's correct, and how cantrips change the calculus. Cantrips that actually matter Core combat cantrips (and why "I guess I'll swing my mace" is usually a cry for help). Utility cantrips that quietly win sessions. Spell preparation that doesn't make you cry Your "always-good" staples (buffs, heals, control, utility). How to prep for unknown adventuring days without over-prepping niche tools. Concentration discipline: the real cleric skill. Channel Divinity: use it early, use it often Turning Undead and its situational dominance. Domain Channel Divinity options as mid-tier power spikes. How Channel Divinity changes your "resource rhythm" between short rests. Level-by-level power spikes (1–10) L1: Domain + armor + Bless = "party performance enhancement plan" L2: Channel Divinity arrives (and suddenly your subclass has teeth) L3: 2nd-level spells broaden your problem-solving L5: 3rd-level spells are the "cleric becomes a headline" moment L6–8: subclass features + improved survivability + cantrip/weapon upgrades L9–10: 5th-level spells and consistent encounter impact Table role: how to be a cleric without becoming the babysitter Healing as a tool, not a lifestyle. Preventing damage and ending fights faster as the "real healing." Coordinating with your party so your buffs land where they matter. Key Takeaways  Start with your cleric job description Pick one primary role and one secondary role: Support/Buffer (primary) + Controller (secondary) Frontline (primary) + Support (secondary) Blaster (primary) + Utility/Support (secondary) Most clerics get in trouble when they try to be all of these every round. Concentration is your true hit point total A cleric who keeps concentration up is a force multiplier. A cleric who drops it every other round is a very polite person wearing armor. Practical habits: Don't stack concentration spells in your head like a wishlist—pick one plan per fight. Invest in Con saves/survivability decisions early. Position like you're important (because you are). Your "default fight plan" should fit on an index card Example templates: Support opener: Concentration buff → sustain/position → emergency heal only when it flips the encounter. Control opener: Concentration control → maintain distance/cover → punish clustering. Frontline opener: Concentration buff/control → stand where enemies hate it → force bad choices. Healing is strongest when it changes the math right now In-combat healing shines when it: Prevents an ally from going down before they lose their next turn, Buys a crucial round of actions, Keeps a key damage dealer online, Or pairs with control/positioning to stop the "down-up-down" cycle. Otherwise, healing between fights (and prevention during fights) is often more efficient. Domain spells and Channel Divinity are your build's "signature moves" If you're not using your domain's unique tools regularly, you may have picked a domain whose play pattern you don't actually enjoy. Levels 1–10 clerics win by being the most consistent person at the table You don't need perfect optimization to be great—clerics reward: Reliable concentration, Smart positioning, Prepared spells that solve common problems, And knowing when to spend resources to swing an encounter.

Pour la dernière grande journée de son événement annuel AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services a levé le voile sur une annonce stratégique : l'arrivée de Graviton5, son tout nouveau processeur maison. Une puce ARM de cinquième génération, gravée en 3 nanomètres, embarquant… 192 cœurs. Un monstre de calcul, pensé pour bouleverser l'équation performance-prix du cloud.AWS ne s'en cache pas : le pari Graviton est déjà un succès. Plus de la moitié des nouvelles capacités de calcul de la plateforme reposent désormais sur cette architecture, et près de 90 % des 1 000 plus gros clients EC2 utilisent déjà ces processeurs. Avec Graviton5, Amazon ne se contente plus d'optimiser : il change d'échelle. Cette nouvelle génération marque un véritable saut technologique. En concentrant 192 cœurs sur une seule puce, Amazon augmente considérablement la densité de calcul. Résultat : les échanges entre cœurs sont 33 % plus rapides. Le cache L3, cette mémoire ultra-rapide essentielle aux performances, a été multiplié par cinq. Chaque cœur dispose ainsi de 2,6 fois plus d'espace immédiat que sur Graviton4. Concrètement, cela accélère fortement les bases de données, l'analyse de données massives, mais aussi les jeux en ligne ou les services temps réel.Côté réseau, les progrès sont tout aussi notables : +15 % de bande passante en moyenne, jusqu'à un doublement sur les instances les plus puissantes. L'accès au stockage cloud progresse aussi de 20 %. Graviton5 promet au total 30 % de performances supplémentaires et 20 % de latence en moins par rapport à la génération précédente. La gravure en 3 nm, l'une des plus avancées du marché — dominée par TSMC, Samsung et Intel — permet d'augmenter la puissance tout en réduisant la consommation. Un point crucial à l'heure où les data centers pèsent de plus en plus lourd dans la consommation électrique mondiale. AWS va même jusqu'à refroidir directement la puce, sans boîtier intermédiaire.Autre avancée majeure : la sécurité. Avec le Nitro Isolation Engine, AWS ne se contente plus d'affirmer l'isolation des données… il en apporte une preuve mathématique. Une garantie très recherchée par les banques, les hôpitaux et les administrations. Les premiers retours sont enthousiastes. Airbnb gagne 25 % sur ses moteurs de recherche. Atlassian observe 30 % de rapidité en plus sur Jira. SAP annonce même jusqu'à 60 % d'accélération sur ses bases de données. Les premières instances EC2 M9g sont déjà disponibles en test. Les déclinaisons C9g et R9g, dédiées au calcul intensif et à la mémoire, arriveront en 2026. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week: the FCC vote, DJI drone and payload leaks, and a California homeowner is facing a massive $300,000 fine based on drone surveillance. Let's get to it.First up, in a 3-0 vote, the FCC granted itself the authority to retroactively ban equipment from companies on its "Covered List." This new rule was driven by Chinese communication equipment issues and it closes two major loopholes. First, it prohibits the authorization of any new devices that contain components from a Covered List company. Second, and this is the big one, it allows the FCC to revoke previously authorized equipment if national security concerns arise. As I said, this was motivated by huawei and other Chinese telecom equipment. Why does it matter to the drone world?DJI and Autel could end up on the FCC Covered List by the end of the year if an audit of their technology is not completed by the US government. If/when they get added, then the FCC would have the authority to do what they just voted on. There is technically a notice of proposed rule making coming up on this to follow, but as of this recording, it is NOT public.Next up, DJI has a few rumored releases including the Neo 2, which is rumored to be released by the time you're watching this recording! Some notable upgrades include forward-facing LiDAR, 2 Axis Gimbal, possible sensor upgrades, and the battery, reportedly offering 15% more capacity for a flight time of around 19 minutes. But that upgrade comes at a cost—leaked Australian pricing shows the new battery will be $129, which is more than double the original's $59 price tag. DJI Enterprise is teasing a new payload for all the surveyors and mappers out there. The company has announced a launch event for November 4th at 7 AM EST for what is almost certainly the new Zenmuse L3 LiDAR payload. The teaser tagline is "See Through, Far and True," which gives us some big clues. "See Through" likely points to improved vegetation penetration, which is critical for forestry and terrain mapping. "Far" suggests a longer detection range than the Zenmuse L2's 450 meters. And "True" implies even better accuracy, which would be impressive since the L2 already boasts 4cm vertical and 5cm horizontal accuracy.Leaked photos show the L3 payload in a rugged Pelican-style case, and it features a distinctive pink and purple display screen that matches the teaser video. This is the logical successor to the Zenmuse L2, which was launched back in October 2023. DJI has been a game-changer in this space, bringing the cost of aerial LiDAR down from over $100,000 to something much more accessible. Fourth this week, a homeowner in Stanton, California, is facing a staggering $300,000 fine after a drone owned by the City allegedly recorded illegal fireworks being set off at his property on July 4th. The city claims its drone documented approximately 300 explosions, and they're fining him $1,000 for each one. The homeowner insists he wasn't even home at the time.And next week at this time, we'll be in Las Vegas for the Vegas Drone Meetup! We'll be teaching a few in-person courses on select Part 107 topics and on photography and cinematography. If you're in the area, check it out and we hope to see you there!

Ça y est, “Enfin Seule” est entre vos mains, ou du moins dans les rayons des libraires (vive les libraires) où vous allez pouvoir mettre la main dessus. Commander mon livre !Je suis un peu débordée cette semaine car, pour faire simple, il y a AUSSI eu la rentrée en L3 de de Psychologie à Paris 8 et les futurs épisodes de Folie Douce à préparer en anticipation de la tournée ! Sans parler de la charge parentale et des dingueries du macronisme. MAIS comme je vous aime j'ai pris le temps de vous enregistrer une petite note vocale, ce matin, dans mon parc parisien préféré, je sais que vous kiffez. Je vous y parle notamment du grand lancement d'Enfin Seule, mercredi soir, à la Librairie Ici sur les Grands boulevards. C'était bouleversant.Si vous êtes venue ce soir-là : merci encore ! Les abonné·es Substack étaient nombreusesx et ça m'a beaucoup touchée. Sinon : pas de panique, je vais faire une graaaande tournée à travers la France, mais aussi la Belgique et la Suisse, pour parler avec vous d'enfinsolitude. Merci d'être là, merci de me soutenir. Je rappelle que si vous aimez mon travail, si vous voulez m'aider à continuer d'être une autrice féministe neuroatypique heureuse, vous pouvez vous abonner à ma newsletter sur Sustack (juste ici). Ou sinon achetez mon livre - dans une librairie indépendante, évidams. Ou sinon manifestez contre un pouvoir exécutif qui fait reposer les sacrifices économiques sur les épaules des personnes les plus précaires alors que les ultra-riches s'ultra-enrichissent. (Vous pouvez faire les trois). Si vous m'avez lue : écrivez-moi racontez-moi ! Je suis tellement impatiente de savoir ce que vous avez ressenti à sa lecture et comment vous trouvez, vous, votre enfinsolitude. Prenez soin de vous et prenez votre temps,Lauren

Night Vision. The super power that we all want, and the only capability which can be purchased. Unfortunately, to many, it's perceived to be unattainable due to the financial constraints which surround it. What many folks don't realize though, is that you have more options available than what you might think. To explore the options, and talk in depth on used and surplus options, I'm sitting down with Shane Sharp and Ty Morgan from Terrace Unity Solutions. TUS is a Michigan based night vision company just a few minutes from me, and a resource I only recently realized I had access to. We get into the comparisons and benefits between surplus and new devices, as well as some common questions like L3 versus Elbit versus Photonis, and do our best to fill in the gaps and add some much needed context to the common concerns that folks have. If you've been chasing the dream of owning NODs and haven't been able to make it happen, give this one a listen. I think you may learn a few things.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comHerrington Arms - www.herringtonarms.com

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHIt's a lawless time, y'all. Organized crime syndicates are running a muck since the fall of the Galactic Republic, forcing others to fight for survival. On the industrial ship-building planet Corellia, Lady Proxima, leader of the White Worms gang, is after a hyperfuel known as coaxium. That's when we meet Han. He is trying to escape Corellia for good. He feels confident he can do that after getting his hands on some coaxium.  His girlfriend Qi'ra is pumped. But as they go to escape, they are found by some of Proxima's baddies and are taken to her. He's like oh I don't have an coaxium, but what i do have is THIS! He pulls out a rock and throws it through a window which lets in light which Proximia and her species are allergic to and they escape! But it does take long for them to catch up with him and a chase ensues. They bribe an Imperial officer at a spaceport for passage off-world. Han makes it through, but Qi'ra is captured at the last moment. Separated by a security gate, Han promises to return for her.Alone and desperate, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy. When asked for his surname, he's called “Solo” since he claims to have no family. Fast forward three years, Han has been expelled from flight school for acting a fool and is now down in the mud of a battle. There, he encounters a group of thieves disguised as soldiers—Tobias Beckett, Val, and Rio. When Han tries to blackmail his way into their crew, Beckett has him arrested and thrown into a pit with a deadly creature: a Wookiee named Chewbacca.Han and Chewbacca form a quick alliance, escaping together and convincing Beckett to take them in. Realizing Chewbacca's brute strength is valuable, Beckett agrees. The crew sets off for their next job—stealing coaxium from a moving train. The heist goes sideways when they're ambushed by a gang of pirates. Rio is fatally shot, Val sacrifices herself, and the coaxium is lost in the chaos.Beckett reveals they were working for Dryden Vos, a high-ranking figure in the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, and now owe him. To make amends, Han and Chewbacca offer to help steal unrefined coaxium from the mines on Kessel. Beckett agrees and takes them to Dryden's luxurious yacht, where Han reunites with Qi'ra—now a high-ranking lieutenant.Vos approves the plan but insists Qi'ra accompany them. She leads them to the suave smuggler Lando Calrissian, hoping to use his ship, the Millennium Falcon. Han loses a rigged card game to Lando but convinces him to join the mission in exchange for a cut. With Lando's droid co-pilot L3-37 onboard, the team sets off.On Kessel, L3 sparks a riot among droid slaves, while Chewbacca breaks off to free Wookiee prisoners. The team escapes with the coaxium, but L3 is destroyed and Lando is injured. Using L3's navigational system, Han pilots the Falcon. Han hatches a plan to outsmart Dryden Vos. It's a classic double cross station. When they meet again, Dryden exposes Beckett as his informant. But Han had anticipated the betrayal—the coaxium given to Vos is real, and the fake decoy was a bluff.Beckett takes Chewbacca and the coaxium hostage, but Han later confronts and shoots him before he can retaliate. Meanwhile, Qi'ra kills Dryden Vos but secretly contacts her true boss: Darth Maul. She takes Vos's ship and leaves, choosing to embrace her role.Han tracks down Lando and challenges him to a rematch in cards. This time, Han wins, gaining ownership of the Millennium Falcon.With Chewbacca by his side, Han sets off for Tatooine, following a tip about a powerful gangster—Jabba the Hutt—looking for smugglers for a big job.
