We require additional desert power

If you absolutely have to hand over your phone, turn it off completely, like hold the power button and then tap the off icon. That will dump any keys out of RAM, which is why it always requires the full password to unlock when you turn it back on. Both in terms of how your phone works and the leaks we've seen, the cracking tools the police have are overall significantly less likely to be successful when used on a phone that's been turned off and not unlocked since.

Also, IIRC iphones have a feature where they will dump at least some of the system keys from RAM if you push the lock button five times. I'd still trust fully off more but that's easier to do covertly.

Broadly, because the only way to get it was from other humans. Specifically, because a lot of other humans essentially went out of their way to give it to other people.

They mean the Bluetooth MAC address. It'll capture your phone's and can tell who the manufacturer is but the rest of the address is randomized. That said, lots of watches/earbuds/assorted smart Bluetooth things aren't randomized because manufacturers are lazy.

Realistically they sell more guns than any other group. Every time they call for random bans everyone goes and empties every gun store within a 100 mile drive. Obviously there's a lot more to it than that but both sides political rhetoric has been making the US small arms industry absolutely explode. We're absolutely past the point where you could actually ban scary guns and have any effect. Half the country has more ARs than they know what to do with, literal piles in safes and dresser drawers, and they've gotten extremely comfortable with the concept of civil disobedience/non-compliance. Further, fuck 3d printing, every dude with access to a CNC is pumping out cheap lowers and suppressors so they can justify having an SOT (the ability to obtain or produce legal machine guns).

If this is scary, the best and only course of action is reducing the temperature. Treat young men like they aren't economic cannon fodder so they don't feel like the only locus of control is fucking weaponry (fix housing, job security), positive intervention for crisis (don't just send a hit squad of cops), and don't be afraid to engage with rural populations (they're intelligent humans too).

Ugh I'm literally procrastinating on a contact for this right now. Please go back to being non credible.

And if your nav system crashes, so does your car

This is the real answer, there are soooo many Mormon gun companies and defense contractors it's fucking wild.

Yes, but it's harder to fight such a large incumbent when all the money is just going to the incumbent

This seems like an odd move. Let China pay money to use ClosedAI hallucinations instead of using the money to develop their own hallucinations that the US has no insight into.

There's no technology transfer if they just using the hallucination outputs, it's just free money for trash.

Setup a firewall with the minimum exposed ports, even on Linux. UFW is reasonable

Yeah but it really shouldn't be that way. Just add a pin or something, it's way too easy for people to just grab devices or install malware to leak keys. The current standard for security is that everything is encrypted at rest regardless of whole disk encryption.

Signal is still better that most of the stuff out there but it's not above well intentioned criticism
