I used to work in digital forensics and I used to occasionally see horrible things as part of that work; child abuse material, beheading videos and the like. I’d become largely desensitised to the content, but after becoming a parent I just

The USAF has been neglected for a long time. The service has seen reductions in both headcount and airframes with no gains in efficiency or effectiveness. Too many types of aircraft to operate and maintain, with too few people to do it and

Most (if not all) cars on the road are terrible in terms of the security of the infotainment system and other onboard electronics. What makes this even worse is the sensors they have onboard these days; the microphones, cameras, GNSS receiv
