I do web app testing and report a similar issue as a risk rather often to my clients. You can replace Google below with many other identity providers. Imagine Bob works at Example Inc. and has email address bob@example.com Bob can get a Goo

I wonder if EMP resistance was also considered, and if analogue computing could have offered better resistance compared to the digital devices of the time. Impossible to know, though the use of nuclear weapons by an enemy was probably on ev

Also, they bought a fab, and by extension a bunch of knowledgeable employees who can work it and are eligible for UK security clearances. Once the knowledge of the workers is gone then it would be really hard to spin something up in country

I did it in the UK mostly for the hardware / legal transmit permissions on some experimental bands for my SDR. There are repeaters most places, though chatting on them didn't really interest me much. Check out echolink (available

I wonder if you will get car radios with an 'ad-blocker' that will cut out radio ads and play their own in the gaps created. Sort of like Brave browser was trying to do. Would this be legal?

The US usually seem to decline stuff, while the UK will extradite people rapidly to the US. Relatively recent, though involved diplomatic immunity too: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/23/politics/us-declines-

I think it also helps if the dead ants are diseased / poisoned / covered in deadly fungus too. An ant near death anyway is less value to the colony, and it doesn't matter as much if it gets sick from moving the dead body
