All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability — even for national-level strategic sites.
They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.
Pitiful.
And this is related to the relative capabilities of USA vs Russian in terms of logistics.
The Americans can generally afford the fuel, and the logistics tail to keep it flowing.
Russia cannot.
How well the M1A1 serves Ukraine remains to be seen, but so far they’ve gotten pretty fantastic performance out of every weapon system they’ve been given, from Javelins to Patriots.
I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.
Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.
But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like “stickers” and then the pin-code harassment.
Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)
Easy! Just replace their usual SMS app with Signal, and then every contact they have that does use Signal is private and secure!
Oh. Wait. That’s exactly the functionality that Signal removed in their effort to ensure that Signal is never widely adopted…

Virtually every international border on the planet.
It’s pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you — facial recognition is super easy and it won’t be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.
This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.
The only unlock key that’s (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.
I’ve mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.
Those shadow accounts would need to be ‘lived in’ to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices — border agents were extremely suspicious.
no, of course they are very unlikely to be making the entire mechanism. However, some folks are assuming that all mechanisms currently available are crappy, and that these folks are using the only crappy mechanism available.
That may very well be the case, but — is your opinion or the first commenter’s opinion based on any actual, specifc knowledge? If so, what is the source of that knowledge?
Are you sure about that? It’s listed as being NOT autoreverse, which seems odd if it was using the most common mechanism, as autoreveres is pretty much universal. Even the ones listed as “auto-stop” seem to have a rewind function, which means motors on both spindles which (usually) means it’s autoreverse capable, only needs a double read head*. The head is the most expensive part of the mechanism.
It looks totally plausible for Sony
it’s a concept
And that irony now is that messenger on Android is RCS compliant and currently has this exact functionality, except it’s less trustworthy.
Once again I’m using one messenger and everyone else who’s using an RCS messenger gets encrypted, but SMS (clearly marked as such) is a viable fallback.
