You're overestimating how precise the clocks in normal electronic devices are. A typical PC clock is +/-100ppm. After 1 hour that's 0.36s, which is roughly 100km in distance. A good electronic clock is a tenth that. An OCXO i

I did indeed mean instant replay, and yeah the better your clock in the receiver the narrower the window of delay that the spoofer has to work with. If you can get the time from a 5G network or NTP down to 10ms, that'd mean you can de

I don't think this helps against someone receiving the signals (all satellites) and rebroadcasting them. The effect of that would be that any receiver of those rebroadcasted signals will believe they are located where the receiver of t

This "signal strength" thing doesn't pass a smell check. Whatever transmitter they put on a satellite, Russia can just put a stronger one on their jammers. Any satellite is limited by its space and power budget, terrestrial t

Yeah. The IETF is just naive. Always has been. It's the SDO equivalent to a spherical cow in a vacuum… spherical unicorn in fairyland? (There are goblins in that fairyland, but the real problem is the overall worldview/perspective

The application of "every frame perfect" to the mouse pointer ranges from neutral to actively harmful. It causes roughly 1 frame of delay, which can be enough to bump the display-eye-hand-mouse loop out of whack (this seems to be

Except it's not one subscription, it's a subscription to whatever today's post links to. It sums up. Same reason Netflix had massively reduced video piracy, and that piracy being back nowadays.

Cruelty would imply a conscious, sentient subject, you can't be cruel to a machine. At best, you can be careless in your use of a tool, causing premature wear and deterioration. In this case, you could theoretically argue about being c

You do actually get UEFI on a few of these, though personally I've always fared better with U-Boot. (Sooner or later, I always run into something that is a simple edit in the device tree or uEnv, but UEFI doesn't expose.)

In a hundred years, sure. Current satellites have neither storage nor compute capabilities of note. That said, they don't have to grab the satellite. They have to grab you. Computer vandalism/sabotage/... laws in a lot of leg

In normal flow yes, but likely not if you intentionally entrap it to say something wrong. A disclaimer and couched language will probably fly through. And it's going to matter what expectations an user could reasonably have, too.
