They're forging the GPS to look like it's in the EU. Do we turn off all the EU terminals too?
I'm a little surprised they can't identify spoofing by comparing the incoming signal to the proposed location. They already have antennas that can be steered using the phased array.
It's possible, but it costs money to design the hardware so it's accessible, it has to use a connector which has to be robust against vibrations (is m.2 robust?), then there needs to be a standardized protocol to communicate with the card. Does the car computer need to know how to authenticate against the cell network or does the card? Is it industry standardized or specific to the manufacturer? All kinds of things need to be designed and car manufacturers have no reason to invest in they.
The problem is the cell modem in the car, which is hard to replace. Cars last a lot longer than phones do. When whatever network that the car uses shuts down, then you can't remote start your car. That's a marginal cost that the car company has to pay for.
CDs have an advantage over USB drives in that they can't actually secretly be USB HID devices like a fake keyboard or mouse that runs a bunch of commands when it plugs in. It's only a storage device.
A super secure environment might then lock down all USB devices to ones known by them and then epoxy all ports and devices.
Great if only my family would even believe this as opposed to just saying something about FEMA using DEW and HAARP and space lasers to actually create hurricanes to be able to extract lithium or something.
ICANN specifically set aside all two character TLDs to be for country specific codes. There's only a few cases where they kept ex countries TLDs around and phased them out over several years. It would be an entirely new precedent if they did keep it. So I wouldn't depend on it
Why do you think this is going to replace air traffic control work? It's picking which gate to park the plane at. This was done by airline and airport operations teams, not ATC. Imagine if you could automatically pick gates to reduce the time a plane spends taxiing and/or minimize time passengers spend walking. That's 100% a useful application for computer optimization algorithms. Humans aren't going to do that better and it's not a function of safety that tower or ground control needs to do.
While I'm not a fan of the loan nor the massive waste of power most LLMs are, I actually think that's its a good thing because if Microsoft can break through some of the excessive red tape on nuclear plants then they'll bring this online and hopefully prove that nuclear power can be safe and a good source of large amounts of power, when the huge demand for AI dies down, then maybe they'll keep the plant around and provide power to the grid.
On Android, you can specify which applications you want included or excluded. Or you can specify that you only route your home LAN IP ranges through wireguard. Both of those would accomplish your goal.
But then you've got cities like Morro Bay, CA that are trying to stop a plan to replace a coal plant with a battery storage facility because batteries are supposedly dangerous.
That's unfortunate that they won't be able to put that money to better use, but I hope they use this opportunity to improve the system security and reliability.
Summer construction season is coming to an end, but not before we tackle our biggest weekend of construction for the region this year. We're calling it our Monster Weekend. Buckle up (literally) because here's what's going down:

-Where: From SR 516 to South 27th Street
-When: 11:59 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.

Some of these closures have detours, but a warning: Detour routes cannot accommodate normal traffic volumes, so try to travel during off-peak hours or, if possible, delay your trip to help minimize backups.
It's been a long summer of road work. You've been patient, and we're grateful for that. We need to get this work done now before we fully enter The Big Gray.
Yeah there's a few reasons why the offer that wins the buy box (the term for which merchants offer is shown to the customer prominently) and is complex, but I wouldn't consider it particularly sinister or designed to mislead. If one person has prime and the other doesn't, it might weight more towards a prime offer which may be more expensive, a price from a merchant may have changed, or gone out of stock.
