Like what?
Having to physically drive within Wifi/Bluetooth range has even greater issues, like "getting your spy caught and executed".
- neom 2y agoOne would presume these things would need to be quite long lived (Stuxnet for example took years to execute iirc?), maybe I'm thinking about it wrong/over thinking it, but the logistics of China maintaining cell backhaul in foreign countries for solar farm telemetry seems... I dunno, just doesn't add up for me, seems easier to lora and pay some kid $500 to drive by the site and yoink.

- neom 2y agoSo if this was for espionage, is that how you would do it? I've never tried state level espionage before, but I can still see many issues with using cell (ok, at least 3 more). I also still think this is weird data to collect, feels much more to me like someone discovered the blank button covers on a feature they didn't upgrade to.
