- roarcher 3y agoI didn't know that, that's wild. Does the government actually track their location in real time?

- TeMPOraL 3y agoI've heard it justified as a safety measure - those machines are carefully balanced on installation, and if the sensors detect it being moved, the machine locks itself out to avoid damaging itself, workpieces and/or operators.
- ragebol 3y agoAre those not afraid of GPS spoofing either? Spoof GPS near a big CNC machine shop that a big competitor relies on, disable their machines...
