"Working" with Facebook and Google doesn't mean embedding their trackers into your site. You can still link to your content on Facebook/Google without the trackers on the actual site.

Rather than asking how he thought he’d get away, I would ask: why the fuck would anyone think it’s okay to kill someone? (excluding self-defense scenarios)

HackRF actually can’t be used with GSM as it’s half-duplex only and GSM requires full-duplex.

I’ve been using the Monzo Current Account since August 17’ (back when it was in closed beta) as my main account and it’s never failed me.

Wouldn’t you be able to use an RTL-SDR for the receive part, and thus, have a full-duplex SDR?

Fingerprint coupled with IP tracking is pretty good.

This can be solved by selling plans by speed instead of data caps; ie, you pay for a guaranteed speed (like 1Mbps) and can use it as much as you want. The more speed you buy the more expensive it gets, with the full LTE speed being crazy

My dream startup is a next generation telco (without the usual data cap bullshit) but I have yet to crack the spectrum problem. Spectrum is auctioned off by the government and it's hard to compete with the existing players; we're

Wouldn’t this only work if the receiver has a low strength from the router, and so the backscatter device can use its antenna to “reflect” more signal to the receiver? What happens if the receiver already sees 100% signal strength from the

RCS is shit. It’s a good idea in theory, but in practice it’s a crappy, over-engineered clone of iMessage or WhatsApp without any of the good parts like end to end encryption or spam protections. It relies on the carriers to keep it functio

Dumping fuel has environmental impacts though, and could be a disaster if happened over a populated area. Maybe they decided it wasn't worth it considering the plane could safely be kept in a holding pattern.

If you want to advance science and research, you can always leak it anonymously over Tor; if you do it properly you will have no repercussions.

Correlating that they’re together wouldn’t explain how the ad networks figured out they were outside looking at houses. MAC addresses are never transmitted past the first layer 2 hop, so it would require either a compromised switch/a

The IP can be used to correlate them being together (connected to their home WiFi), but would be unable to track them outside (unless the phones try to connect to “free” public WiFi which is subsidised by ads and will no doubt rat the users

They could still extract keywords on the sender or recipient device and send them independently of the message; the message is still encrypted but keywords such as “buy” and “house” were submitted to Facebook anyway. I don’t buy the “end to
