That'll no doubt be down to the configuration of the terminal device. It'll likely only TX on the available bands allowed in the devices home region for licensing/compliance issues. Back on the tracking side of things... AFAI

Agreed, it would be nice if HN was less opaque about such things. Thanks for the clarification though, it’s much appreciated! As was the article!

You missed my point ... The (current?) title of the HN news item is: The Acorn Archimedes was the first desktop to use the ARM architecture Which is technically incorrect. It doesn’t even vaguely match the articles title of: “Why Wait For A

The first desktop to use the ARM architecture was the BBC micro, it was used as the second processor when it was being developed. The Archimedes was the first ARM desktop computer. An important distinction I feel.

> Hardware failures on amazon. “Someone else’s problem” That’s what you’re paying for on any cloud provider. Any hardware problem isn’t your problem and it (should be) abstracted away.

The heavier an object is, the deeper its ‘gravity well’ is. You’ve seen the space-time is a rubber sheet metaphor I hope? Imagine it like dropping a stone in a literal well. The potential energy is higher on the ground than two meters down

It’s a high brow right wing news source, think breitbart for the rich and academics . I’d advise not trusting it for anything important.

That’s one reasonably obscure network. As far as I can tell it’s Indian - if memory serves that country has no cryptography on their gsm networks and can demand keys at will. Even blackberry gave them access to their secure network. And if

I think you May have that backward. But why do you think this?

Also there’s other ways of leaking your IMSIs, EAP-SIM and carrier wifi for example. No idea yet how widespread the implementation is as I’m teaching myself all of this in my spare time!

Not all phones have access to baseband controls, and I’ve never seen a “turn off 2G” option, but yes you can turn off 3/4G. It’s easy to get a burner phone in some countries, but many you need a passport or government-issued ID to even

Stingrays tend to capture both IMEI and IMSI. This is GSM, which is used by 99% of the world. IMSI then can be taken to the carrier and the account holder details will be released by a warrant. An IMEI (which in most countries it will be il

hahahaha. I did this on an IBM prep machine, a really straightforward install of NT 3.51. It even managed to run some x86 windows stuff - incredibly slowly (this was ~2005) And it ran the windows 2000 shell preview as well! - though I may h

Yes, but only 'well written ones'. Anything that decided to hit the hardware directly from DOS, or did something that OS/2 didn't support in windows just crashed or had undefined behaviour. Even windows in protected mode
