  1. Hypothetically, yes. But is there some like Qubes/Whonix for mobile phones. I am interested in software that encrypts my entire phone. I am more interested in cell data encryption where my number, device ID, location and any other info being leaked that will encrypt the data but still operate off of cell towers? Are there any search phrases I need to use?
  2. Been thinking about Kilz Fillz' Perpetual Credit Sysytem. I have 2 credit card offers in front of me and I am really tempted the cast a net and see what happens. Purchase something small and let the CCs do all the work for a while.
  3. It's ok Astos, it could've been worse and y'all could be the Houston Tampons.
  4. This is true. I got thrashed/trashed for a misspelling.
  5. ^^ @mr.yuck @fat ralphy My boy, is have some trouble, looks like it's the drain in the street that needs to be snaked from there, or worst case scenario, the pipe deteriorated midway and caved in? Hope you get it fixed @nicklesndimes soon.
  6. Yo @🍍 ( . )( . ) you getting this!?

    My thing is, is how would a company know their satellite was taken out by another companies space junk? I mean, the fcc can fine all day long, but what's gonna suck, is if some companies poor engineering or inferior practices cause my equipment to be destroyed? However, I think its a way to protect the people on IS perhaps? I guess all a collective can do is to govern space in this type of order would be to fine a company. What surprises me the most, is that DISH can take a 150k hit with going bankrupt. I mean who still uses DISH, isn't there like 3 people left?

    First US fine for littering in space S. Himmelstein | October 13, 2023 Improper disposal of solid waste, long a problem plaguing the terrestrial environment, is now occurring in space. The U.S. government has issued its first-ever fine to a private company that left space junk in orbit. A $150,000 fine was levied by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on satellite television provider DISH for not safely deorbiting its EchoStar-7 satellite. The company originally planned to deorbit the spacecraft in May 2022, but the satellite ran out of fuel, forcing DISH to leave it 100 miles shy of its designated disposal region high above geostationary orbit. In this region, satellites can remain over one fixed spot on Earth. The FCC issued the fine as part of its efforts to crackdown on irresponsible activity in Earth's orbit. "As satellite operations become more prevalent and the space economy accelerates, we must be certain that operators comply with their commitments," FCC enforcement bureau chief Loyaan A. Egal said in the agency's statement. "This is a breakthrough settlement, making very clear the FCC has strong enforcement authority and capability to enforce its vitally important space debris rules." (See also: The origins of orbital debris) There are no formal laws for clearing up space junk but the FCC and other national regulators that approve satellites for launch are starting to adopt guidelines to prevent organizations from cluttering up space. The FCC now has a five-year rule for removing satellites in low Earth orbit — less than 2,000 km above the planet’s surface — at the end of their mission.
  12. Smart phones to help the US Army locate hostile drones Marie Donlon | October 06, 2023 An app for detecting potentially hostile drones has been developed for the U.S. Army. The CARPE Dronvm is an app that can be used to identify drones as well as alert authorities of their location. Task Force 39, an arm of the U.S. Army designed to counter the threat of hostile drones to soldiers serving in the Middle East where they have come under repeated drone attacks, recently tested the app. The app — which was developed by the MITRE Corporation with funding from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) — enables users to capture photographs of unfamiliar drones. Once captured, the images can be sent to a so-called “processing engine” to determine if a drone is pictured and where it is located by geo-locating it on a situational awareness map at the command center. Once located, nearby CARPE Dronvm users are sent an alert about the drone. According to its developers, CARPE Dronvm relies on the global network of smartphones currently in existence — of which there is an estimated 5.2 billion worldwide — and that feature both cameras and internet connectivity, turning every smartphone into a networked sensor and, subsequently, a potential drone detector. CARPE Dronvm will soon be available for iOS and Android operating systems.
