More financial resources, the reintroduction of compulsory militia exercises and the Federal Army being made more attractive as an employer are needed
Vienna (OTS) – On the occasion of today’s “Conscription Day”, FPÖ military spokesman and chairman of the parliamentary national defense committee NAbg. Mag. Volker Reifenberger emphasized the importance of comprehensive national defense and the Federal Army, which, in accordance with the Federal Constitution, is responsible for the military sector: “In order to fulfill this mandate, the Federal Government must also provide the Federal Army with the appropriate financial resources. But there can be no question of this in the black-green coalition; the defense budget approved just a few months ago is too small, especially for a neutral state. Two percent of GDP would be required here so that our army can fulfill its tasks accordingly, but this year the budget is unlikely to even reach one percent!”
In addition to underfunding, a lack of personnel is the biggest problem for the armed forces and affects both professional and militia soldiers. “Unfortunately, our armed forces are no longer competitive as employers, so many soldiers are switching to the private sector or other areas of the public service. A central key to remedying this problem is higher salaries, from the ranks to the non-commissioned officers and the officers. In order to make the soldier’s profession more attractive once more, we libertarians only submitted a proposal in November, but it was rejected by both government parties,” said Reifenberger, who renewed the liberal demand for a reintroduction of compulsory militia exercises: “A return to The tried-and-tested model, consisting of six months of basic military service and two months of compulsory militia exercises, is essential so that the Federal Army once more receives the necessary personnel for the militia. By abolishing this system, the then ÖVP Defense Minister Platter initiated a breach of the constitution, which the governing parties are negligently prolonging!”
Precisely because of the perpetual neutrality, which is being increasingly undermined by the black-green federal government with the support of the SPÖ and NEOS, Austria is obliged to ensure the full functionality of the national military defense: “Stable neutrality requires a strong federal army and a government that “This also lives and does not break, as is the case with participation in the NATO Sky Shield project.”

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid must have been watching The Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards on Thursday night.
Less than 24 hours following Edwards threw down an incredible off-the-backboard dunk, Embiid followed suit with one of his own.
Late in the second quarter of the 76ers’ matchup once morest the Orlando MagicEmbiid picked up his dribble at the free-throw line. Instead of passing to a teammate or taking a shot, Embiid hurled the basketball at the backboard, caught it in mid-air and slammed it home.

Edwards set the dunk template Thursday during the Timberwolves’ 118–103 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 22-year-old star found himself guarded at the free-throw line, tossed the basketball at the glass and threw down a thunderous two-handed slam—nearly identical to Embiid’s one night later.
ANTHONY EDWARDS ARE YOU KIDDING ????

“That was crazy, man,” Edwards said Thursday night. “That was probably the best dunk of my career.”
That one is going to be hard to beat.

Finally the pre-sale day Apple Vision Pro has arrived and we already have some more details regarding the long-awaited device! The company released a guided tour of the augmented/virtual reality headset, as well as another video that shows stages of manufacturing the device.
Videos are available on page regarding or Vision Pro on the company’s website and Apple’s YouTube channel; The guided tour shows the key elements of interacting with the system and spatial computing, as well as what it’s like to work on it and what it’s like to consume entertainment using visionOS.
Even though it is relatively similar to the promotional videos that Apple has already released regarding the headset, the tour reveals some interesting details regarding the device. You can see the EyeSight display in action, showing “the eyes” of whoever is using it to other people nearby, as well as navigation gestures to open applications, zoom in on photos and the like.
The entire tour shows one person using the Vision Pro with another person at their side (Allessandra McGinnis, the device’s product manager, who guides the demonstration), emphasizing the already well-known idea that the objective of the headset is not to isolate whoever is using it, but to maintain integration with the surroundings. The software itself is built on this premise.
Navigation in visionOS is done using eyes, hands and voice. Several commands involve looking at a corner and making pinching movements with your fingers, sometimes moving your hands in certain ways. Also shown is the immersive display of content such as photos, panoramas, videos (including space videos), films and series, which can be enlarged until they occupy the entire displayed environment.
You can connect your Vision Pro to your MacBook and use your laptop with the Sidecar, viewing the macOS screen on the headset at an enlarged size. Multitasking is also shown, with several windows open, one next to the other, as well as playing music with Spatial Audio and video calls on FaceTime with one Persona of the user being displayed to whoever is on the other end of the call.
Among the visionOS native apps, interestingly there is one called Encounter Dinosaurs (“Encounter Dinosaurs”), which offers an immersive experience with… dinosaurs (demonstrated on the tour), as well as a meditation experience. A capture app will also be available to record spatial photos and videos.
There are also other well-known Apple apps optimized for visionOS, such as Photos, Freeform, Notes and Mail, although some such as Maps, Books, Calendar and Stock have not yet been optimized for the new device — at least initially; In these cases, their iPad versions will be used.
visionOS also has an area called “Environments” (“Environments”), where there is an immersive display of locations — something that can also be used by third-party apps. When talking to someone in front of you, the person is displayed in the environment shown, so as not to isolate the user.
Manufacturing process
In addition to publicizing the guided tour, the CEO1Chief executive officeror executive director. da Apple, Tim Cookreleased a video on his X account (formerly Twitter) titled “Making Vision Pro”which shows details regarding the various steps in manufacturing the Vision Pro.
The video is also available on YouTubefor those who prefer to watch it for him:
