Before diving into the topic of if the Desert Fox committed any war crimes, or the myth of the good Nazi, you should start here.

Kiwi it's interesting not a security hardened Chromium fork, it is the only one to offer immediate access to browser extensions.

Should probably only use it the way you would use a Gecko browser, that is sparingly and when you need use of specific extensions for whatever reason.

The Murdoch organization is actually the comparatively more moderate and less insane megacorp in Australia's News duopoly. I wish I was joking.

It's like comparing Mitch McConnel to Tommy Tuberville.

It's not where I'm coming from, I'm just repeating various means, methods, and technologies, that are currently being used, or are documented requirements for current nextgen programs, by the DoD.

Here's just one example of an existing platform, with the technologies that you're alleging can't, or don't, exist: Ghost Bat (MQ-28A)

And that's just a single platform, within a much larger DoD program: Loyal Wingman.

Also, I never said it wasn't a constant race with measures, countermeasures, and counter-counter measures. I was just simply keeping my comments short and to the point of the question asked.

Overseas colonies are expensive, when they can't be brutally exploited, and the UK doesn't have an expansive global empire to suck the resources from anymore.

It does look like a sticking point here was a strategically significant FOB, Diego Garcia, which will not be handed back over.

So the UK has to suffer another embarrassment that reminds them they're no longer a global superpower, but they also get to save some money, and retain access to an important strategic asset.

They might also get some good press for continuing decolonization, I can't speak to that, as I'm not sure how, or where, they might have felt any real political pressure over this.

Any remotelink is vulnerable to jamming attacks, but those aren't novel issues.

There are many ways to mitigate and bypass the jamming attacks, including operating different control links, or multiple different bands, hopping, etc.

This is also where "AI" or advanced algorithms might come in, and enable the platform to continue on to its objectives unaided, or initiate some sort of failsafe to regain communication links, etc.

On a somewhat related note, this is similar to why 6th gen aircraft will include stealthy manned platforms, that are in close proximity to command and control various drone wingman platforms, as opposed to being remotely piloted from a Nevada Airbase.

Is the AP an agent of Modi? I'm honestly shocked to see them participating in this blatant and obvious counterintelligence psyop: that pigeon has been turned and is now a double agent.

I hope when he becomes a "documentary" film maker a la Dinesh D'Souza. Comedy gold.

...he made the tragic choice to end his life after a third 19-hour police summons...

The article doesn't make it appear like they are asking for, or suggesting, drug law reform. They're only advocating that the police treat investigations into pop-culture artists with more care...?

Maybe that's just Variety's spin on it, but that's what the article makes it appear like.

Can anyone with more knowledge, or who speaks Korean, clarify if that's accurate?

Both the NIH and DSM-5 would disagree.

I can find 10 people to say that ADHD isn't real for every 1 person who says substance use disorder isn't a disease.

Does that mean ADHD isn't a real condition?

It could be account information from partnerships e.g. bundles, old customers, subsidiary companies, or something else entirely.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Basically this data included customer details on 36 million customers, and Xfinity only has 32 million active customers...

They've already admitted it includes all plaintext customer details (names, address, last 4 SSN, etc.), and their password hashes, but no info on what hashing function was used to make them, or if they were salted.

This is just what they've admitted. Who wants to place bets on whether they also got all the customer data that shouldn't be legal to collect, but is e.g. browsing habits, traffic analysis, user/household metadata?
