Not sure about the Mexico City drone, but a similar thing was developed by the US military: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgon_Stare I know some folks who deployed during OEF/OIF and used these types of systems.

Respectfully, you are incorrect. Switches, in the technical sense and accepted terminology, refers to Layer 2 processing. Routing is Layer 3. And so on. MLS is just a combined product offering multiple Layers of processing.

You're not the target market. Also "very rich" is not defined as spending $20/mo lmao.

Ok, and? Aside from the pure theory banter, I expect the government to come down hard on a manufacturer when they knowingly ship a device with a sustained heat/power issue resulting in fires.

The Nvidia 4090 power connector story is what I'm referring to.

That line from Fight Club really needs a whole lotta asterisks and qualifications. There are plenty of forced-recall scenarios where the manufacturer would prefer to use the A B C<=X approach but are not allowed or simply over-ruled by g

Also frequency re-use. They will talk on the same frequency to multiple ground terminals, but pointed different directions from the satellites perspective.

I think privacy-first is the the correct mental model to have. I've had to explain to some people that the usage of a certain platform by drug dealers, pedophiles, and organized violent crime isn't a defect, but really a feature i

Nothing of what you said changes my original point: We live in a mixed-market economy. The government manages some buffers (food, oil). And I'd really like to understand how the government "takes half" of your salary. Either

Ah there it is. The usual doomer mentality that is so common I want to vomit when I see it. A mixed-market economy is not "Crony Capitalism". Stop exaggerating for upvotes.

I really wish people would stop conflating reducing the attack surface with safe software default configurations. They are not the same. There is value in hiding your listening sockets/ports from the world. Anyone who does not believe

by iwillbenice 4y ago
Have you ever been responsible for security in a professional sense? Hiding attack surfaces is standard operating procedure. No one with a triple digit IQ seriously thinks any piece of software is going to be secure to infinity.

While I am sure you are competent like most folks on here, I will say this: I have met a good number of people who claim they can "get in and get out un-noticed". In retrospect, I think rarely did they consider the possibilities o

The one note I will mention about SpaceX and caring about HW/terminal security is the subsidized cost. SpaceX is retailing the terminal I bought for $500, while I understand the hardware all-in is north of $2000. In these scenarios you

Regarding the security clearance, while you are not technically wrong in theory, in practice things are heavily compartmentalized at an individual human level by "need to know" practices. It kind of opened my eyes to how much a ma

My grandfather was a WWII B-29 pilot. For a very long time he didn't talk in much detail about the horrors. It was only in his later years before he passed did he talk openly about some of the real nasty aspects. One time I asked him w

Agree completely with your concerns with regards to lost/stolen keys. Most of the places where I've been able to use my Yubikeys (FIDO2) also offer a very clear list of enrolled/registered keys, along with either a hash or se
