Microsoft has now started selling replacement parts for its Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller on its website. The store not only offers replacement sticks and buttons, but also entire circuit boards. Replacement parts are available in a range of repair kits, including cheaper kits which only include the buttons, or more expensive kits which include a replacement PCBA and motor assembly. Replacement parts are currently only available in the North American market, according to Xbox Insider program manager Brad Rossetti, who made the announcement via Twitter. Several limited edition Xbox controllers have been released recently for gaming, including the recently unveiled Xbox Starfield Limited Edition controller. Microsoft also recently released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed controllers that smell like pizza. Unfortunately, these are only available to contest winners.

Delays in Lockheed Martin Manufacturing and F-35 Delivery, Impact on Belgian Aircraft and Pilot Training
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

The problems encountered by the manufacturer Lockheed Martin delay the introduction of new software and screens. The United States also refuses to deliver new F-35 planes. The defense now expects the Belgian planes to be delivered with a delay of at least six months.
Our country has purchased 34 F-35A aircraft. These devices are currently in production and in the coming weeks the first will be on the final assembly line. “According to the current schedule, the hardware will be ready in December 2023. The certification and qualification of the software and the final delivery of the aircraft depend on the results of the test campaign and are currently estimated in the second quarter of 2024,” said Defense to VRT NWS.
This means that the training of Belgian pilots (in the USA) will also start later than planned. According to the Defence, if the delay is limited to a few months, it will have no impact on the final gradual operational build-up. The minister’s spokesman also confirmed this to Belga.

This situation ” exceptional in August will cause strong gales. ” On Wednesday morning, the southwest to west winds will strengthen over Brittany, blowing at nearly 100 km / h by the sea and 80 km / h inland “, predicts the weather site, noting that” these values are not insignificant in the heart of summer and given the number of tourists (campers, hikers, swimmers, etc.) “. In Brittany, waves might reach 8 meters high!

Wednesday followingnoon, ” this gale will reach the Normandy coast with gusts close to 100 km/h. Inland, the wind will reach 80 km / h from Pays de la Loire to the north of the Paris basin “. In the evening and night from Wednesday to Thursday, ” with the shift of the depression towards the North Sea “, powerful gusts are feared north of the Seine. ” We expect peaks of 100 km / h on the Boulonnais and the hills of Artois and 80 km / h between eastern Paris, Champagne, Lorraine, the Ardennes “, continues The Weather Channel.
Contacted by our colleagues from La Voix du Nord, meteorologist Guillaume Séchet also plans “ a strong gust of wind » et « very unusual at this time of year ” which will concern the North and especially the North-West of France on Wednesday.
In Belgium, the impact of this storm will also be felt, but obviously to a lesser extent. According to the Royal Belgian Meteorological Institute (IRM), a fairly active area of rain will sweep our country from west to east on Wednesday morning. After its passage, the cloudiness will become variable from the coast with showers sometimes sustained and accompanied by a few thunderclaps.
The IRM forecast for this Wednesday.
The wind will be moderate to fairly strong from the south, then moving to the southwest, along the sometimes strong coast. Gusts can reach 70 km / h in the interior of the country and 80 km / h along the coast. It will therefore be necessary to hang on!

When the criteria are met, the IRM broadcasts general warnings several times a day for dangerous phenomena related to wind, rain, thunderstorms, slippery conditions, fog, tides, cold and heat. These warnings are issued by Belgian province, for a determined period of validity. They meet the following principles:
Code green: nothing special
> The type of weather forecast does not justify issuing a warning.
Code yellow: be vigilant
> The yellow code can be issued a maximum of 48 hours (and sometimes less depending on the uncertainty) before the meteorological phenomenon. The risk of meeting the criteria is more than 65%.
Code orange: be prepared and follow the advice
> The orange code can be issued a maximum of 24 hours (and sometimes less depending on the uncertainty) before the meteorological phenomenon. The risk of meeting the criteria is more than 65%. Be prepared and follow the advice given by the competent authorities.
Code red: take action and follow advice carefully
> The red code can be issued a maximum of 12 hours (and sometimes less depending on the uncertainty) before the meteorological phenomenon. The risk of meeting the criteria is more than 65%. Take steps to ensure your safety and that of others, and, if possible, protect your personal property. Scrupulously follow the advice of the competent authorities.
