Ironically you can use it without logging on, so the people hurt the most are the paid users that are voluntarily giving money to the company.

The Ukraine war has shown that electronic warfare is very effective against drones.

Really cheap ground driving or walking drones can be an effective way to rapidly clear minefields too. It’s a good area for decoys too. If some of them have advanced thermal sensors and maybe some weapons then they’ll be a target for the enemy but you can have a bunch of real cheap dogshit versions that can’t do much more than move forward.

Also there is still the air breathing battery technology, which isnt ready but is very high performance, double the charge or half the size. The limitation is something that might not matter for one time use drones, where the limitation is that the batteries corrode and don’t have many recharge cycles. That’s bad for phones but fine for disposable drones. I expect that will be a thing within 5 years.

It depends. If you start a war with a reasonable stockpile of artillery and shells then you will have a greater amount of shells than firing pieces at the start. So you can fire with your guns but you can get a big advantage if you can fire more than your opponent in the first round of fire and in the first few days. So if you can have a bunch of these cheapo things then you could effectively double or triple your rate of fire for a short period. That can be a big advantage if it means you break through fortifications or disabled anti air defense. They can move faster and be more responsive than moving artillery pieces around especially in rough terrain.

So you want both really. Having more options is better.

Just using an old phone without a modem plan is the easiest and cheapest option. You can put a custom rom on it.

You also have a thing where the minimum wage is far below the actual market rate, the typical wage in the area, and actually making minimum wage is way less than any other job. Nobody wants 7.25 an hour unless you’re forced to.

Children. Name calling isn’t something anyone else wants to see. If a weak insult is all you have to say then just ignore them.

Because if there’s anything people have learned about Mexico, it’s that they don’t have any blankets. Or anything like rope or fabric covers that can easily just be tossed on it.

There’s still the political organization with leaders and they claim to have a few hostages that are still alive.

Anything mined in space will be used in space. But you can build orbital colonies that are nice. You just need lots of mass to build stuff and have plenty of water and be big enough to rotate.

Yeah, you have millions of old books that nobody wants not even collectors. It’s not just popular literature.

They looked at me like an idiot when I asked if they needed to scan my id, everyone just walked through with only the facial scan. This will probably vary by airport a lot.

Not anymore it seems.

It’s a replacement for either your ticket or passport being scanned.

If you live in the best states you get your ballot automatically mailed to you.

I don’t think they’re a troll, what you stated is a common misconception. And you were wrong initially. Over or underinflating casualty counts is a big deal and it’s best to be accurate. It’s a notoriously difficult thing to measure.

Yeah, the conde owner bit isn’t news to anyone, just cause this one guy never looked. Are is fine and it will be as long as the current people are there. Until it gets looted and the staff laid off it is fine. Eric Berger navigates a bit of a tightrope because he has high level access to Musk but can’t be too direct about asking anything other than rockets, even though the political part is affecting the space part a lot right now. I do expect that just like Polygon it will eventually be gutted but nothing lasts forever.

They seem to have gotten complacent because they can just move the planes if Ukraine sends long range drones.

Cables are better but they have a minimum time to setup and can be inconvenient if you do it while traveling. If you just need a quick transfer then using an app or wireless transfer is better.

Not UHD discs. Those don’t play on windows.
