aiui. its not linear. either it induces a voltage high enough to cause disruption or it doesnt. the limiting factor is the voltage not the power (power is tiny)

The ability to issue a malicious certificate gives you the ability to instantly mim any https connection. So about as bad as it gets. Worse, because the user is under the impression there is at least some security on the connection which ch

Pretty sure Theresa May can be arrested under exactly the same charges. That's the thing with these people. Its not just idiocy, it's malicious intent. They really do think Orwells 1984 was a handbook not a warning.

Thats not a modem, it suffers the same problem (mic connected to the - compromised - baseband processor). To hook a mic to the Pi you need an ADC to the GPIO or something like: https://www.element14.com/community/commun

Having been arrested for intervening in the UK when a police officer was being totally unnecessarily violent to a young lad about 15 years old. And then filing a complaint to be told I was never arrested. All I can say is. Not soon enough.

yes, but my point was I think its a "bad" design. It is not part of the internet, if servers want to provide "anonymous" access they can provide a tor address. But if they don't, then accessing a standard webserver

While obviously useful for the poor souls that live in backwards dictatorships/monarchies like north korea and the uk. i dont personally think tor exit nodes are that great an idea. tor traffic should stay on the tor network.
