Gorgon Stare is, to my understanding, using much larger fixed wing aircraft capable of carrying and stabilizing the added weight of a telephoto lens. Glass and mirrors are the key for imaging; multirotor UAVs have very limited payload lifti

Even further than this, the type of camera found on most drones is quite terrible for detailed surveillance work. Even if it does have a "high definition" camera recording to local storage these are Gopro style lenses with massiv

I don't understand how Apple missed the boat so completely on haptic feedback for touchbar, considering their mastery of it on trackpads and touch screens. I use this app alongside BTT; it attempts to supplement haptic feedback via the

This still creates a detectable pattern. If the legit phone goes off while the burner is on that's a pattern. If the legit phone goes off and (travel time / distance) elapses before burner appears (travel time / distance) awa

yes of course, but if the burner and your real phone establish any kind of pattern it will be obvious after the fact to anyone who can analyze the records.

It may take longer to get enough samples to filter out unwanted user associations but if you have all the data points from every tower retroactively over ~10 weeks of protest it's going to be difficult to hide. I don't think gp he

This kind of device matching can be done across any of the carriers or their MVNOs, all of them give up the data when asked by a government entity. Many tower locations will even be identical across carriers, making the matching even easie

Almost everything is reusable between these applications, just need a flatter mirror. Which was also what they screwed up.

I'm absolutely certain the air force is willing to give up some efficiency to gain some obfuscation.

It uses an oblong orbit to gain a small window where the next orbit cannot be perfectly predicted by an adversary that can only watch half the sky. You can't gain delta-v by inducing additional drag on the craft.

Presumably ISS? Seems unlikely US government would expose a military asset to the Russians willingly like that. Also life support systems are heavy and that will cut into the delta-v budget of the craft.

Hundreds of millions of adult Americans use psychoactive substances on a daily basis (SSRI, MAOI, SNRI, Caffeine, Nicotine or worse, opiates / benzodiazepines) and are under no driving restrictions or legal ramifications for doing so.

It would be a good reason to put effort into a "breath test for sleep" before other "breath test for X" methods / devices.
