I think GPS is a very good point. I wonder if the capability to disable it exists, and I don't know what effects that will have - i assume many new devices can now use European's Galileo system.
(while writing this I can see GPS had 'selective availability' mode, but US claimed it is not possible with new satellites)
- simondotau 2y agoThe essential question isn't whether selective availability could be reinstated (software can change, so the answer is yes, period, end of story) but rather whether there's any situation where it wouldn't also cripple a substantial portion of the US Government. How many GPS receivers even have support for military decryption these days, let alone contain keys which are ready to work in a crisis?
