They have some interest in a "special mission" version, a common aerospace euphemism for militarized. They also claim to be a potential candidate for a next gen Air Force One. That's the game with aerospace startups though.

Still no... It's dependent on the speed of sound, which is only dependent on temperature, not specifically altitude contrary to popular belief.

Modern airplanes can exceed their cruising speed in a relative sense but older planes have a higher absolute maximum speed, as well as cruising speed. Why is everyone trying to ackshewally this? The stat's are publicly available.

IME the curvature isn't really discernible until far higher altitudes. Most of the "curve of the earth" shots you see are because someone stuck a go-pro on a hiball and a combination of haze and fisheye effect makes the eart

No, try again. Not correct in any way.

They're not faster in any absolute sense, look at the wing sweep angle of new vs old jets or the fact that early low bypass ratio jets have a much higher exhaust velocity, the old jets are marginally faster by every metric.

Weapons evolve, defenses evolve. There are ways of trivially defeating cell phone tracking, and there are ways of trivially defeating AI cameras (850 ways specifically). Some auth dipshit will probably come up with some other way of betra

It...depends. If you're not technical, signal is hands down the best solution. If you have a group that's going to something and you are willing to take some extra steps, something like matrix/briar/simplex/whatever

Four rules: If you just want to talk to a few friends, don't bother with the default public mesh config, setup your own with encryption enabled. Don't use longfast, use a higher speed setting if possible. Longfast will go 10km+ i

I spend a lot of time in the RF space and Meshtastic is by far the most mature system out there for instant ad-hoc secure digital communications. However... The first rule of emergency communications is that if you can conceive of the need

For the next few years it's fine. Functionally the feds just don't have the infrastructure to care about Meshtastic. In a decade maybe that'll change but two decades in the best they can do against drones is receive the ID D

That's the marketing bullshit. It's simpler that that. He's selling weapons to both sides, the ai bullshit spam machine gun, and the anti spam identity verification system. He knows what he's doing.

50ohm resistor go brrrrrrr It is intensely frustrating that you need to be an aero embedded remote sensing SWE to defeat all this bullshit though. It used to be that having a basic knowledge of javascript was sufficient.

Constitutionalism is whatever, but it is interesting how much more dogmatically divided Canada seems to be getting under the decidedly more authoritarian administration of Trudeau. Everyone's worried about violence and terrorism but t

Well, that is the ultimate philosophical rabbit hole. If everyone is doing better objectively but have been hammered with propaganda so much that they subjectively believe they're doing worse, how do you square that? I'd argue the

I was trying to keep the point simple, but realistically I'm not advocating for complete chaos, there will probably still have to be allocations, ie "Please don't key up your baofeng in the middle of a cell channel". Eq

The caveat should be (as it's always been) only radiate as much as you actually need to, and not having/buying sufficient shielding is not an acceptable "need to" argument. Microwaves share spectrum with WiFi but unless

Was waiting for this response... It's a long game. Yeah, we can't just say "fuck it, everyone go nuts" tomorrow. There are satellite downlinks that cant be readily changed, equipment capex that needs to depreciate etc.

It's always amazing to me how reluctant everyone is to grant ISM bandwidth. If you watch a spectrum analyzer you'll immediately notice that the ISM bands are packed and licensed space is entirely empty. At this point with devi

If there's no money in slavery there won't be any slaves. Yes, they'll get moved onto other things but this is currently the most profitable slavery operation available so that seems like a good place to start.
