Correction.
SKS is semi-automatic.
So don't need the $200 ATF machine gun stamp.
I was gonna say something about phone numbers and network analysis, but the link above said it better.
>1 Mobile number
>Unlike obsolete encryption systems, we require mobile phone to register in our system. Your account is tied to your phone number. Never mind that in many countries around the world SIM-cards can be bought only after presenting a legal ID, and that mobile networks themselves have all-encompassing LI (Lawful Interception) interfaces by design. Also let's ignore the fact that mobile networks still heavily rely on SS7 protocol stack from the 70s, with the security model based on gentlemen's agreement. Some people claim that words "mobile network" and "secure" can't be used in the same sentence, but our security experts think it's very safe. Do you guys not have phones?
Can't believe this wasn't mentioned sooner!
MacOS only.

The 40+MB download tells me this is Electron(?)
The recent trend of terrible introductions is very annoying.
The first sentence on any new app should be...
App is a (what it can do) for (Windows/Mac/Linux) written in/with (languages/libraries/frameworks)
And FFS if it's an Electron app, SAY SO!!!!! Some people do avoid those on principal.
Thank you for the TLDR.
Terrible writing and Twitter is a fatal combo.
Since you are name dropping projects:
Tox, a P2P Skype alternative.
Unfortunately it is not well known outside of tinfoil hat community.
Surprised nobody mentioned
Are you a missileer who is confusing your luggage code with your ICBM missile code?
IIRC the company and the servers are based in Russia.
So this is not for everybody.
At the local dollar store, a lot of packaged goods are from China and or are full of crap (even garlic is from China)
So one has to read the labels dillegently.
Examples:
"Othet origin tea, packed in Sri Lanka".
Chocolate hazelnut spread from Turkey that's mostly oil.
Etc.
I know public reporting says US is behind Russia in EW. I don't know how good UK EW is, but if the UK can't locate commercial drones signals, than we are in trouble.
(Fun fact, UK was very good in EW during WWII

Quote below illustrates why Germany needed to be completely crushed in WW2. No conditional surrender.
It also reminds me of some of the people today. They live in their own reality.
>This young man is a completely successful product of Nazi education. With the possible exception of the Spitfire which brought him down, everything in this country is “lächerlich”. He has met Hitler several times and considers him a genius of “Kolossale” personal courage, proved (rather inadequately) by Hitler’s visits to the front.
From the last transcript, March 30, 1944.
>Landesbauernführer Huber speaking of the potato harvest declared that although supplies of potatoes were already 15 percent below the amount required to fulfil the promised ration, and although it might be thought that German agriculture was attempting the impossible in 1944, faith in the Führer would bridge every difficulty.
Sad.
One pilot was able to figure out the problem, find the solution and land safely. The next pilot did not and hundreds died.
WRT the bare chasis Integra when the police called you how did they break the news to you?
"Let's just do it and be legends man!"
Sorry Fyre Festival has better pep talk than Braveheart.
"tailTZ" for people who use auto-complete or just forget shit.
His non-WWW site is broken. If you manually append the WWW, the site works.
Guess he is Stallmam-serious about practicing what he preaches.
Also this is a stupid clickbait non-issue.
IIRC they hit the ocean so fast, that death must have been instantenous.
Also IIRC the pilots didn't know what's going on until they hit the ocean.
Is the Windows version portable?
Website doesn't say.
Wow!
Buzz Feed has a poor rep, but the headline is not a hyperbole.
FWIW every single Apple user I know had problems. From the deliberately ill-engineered flimsy cables to the Apple's BSOD-equivalent.
None of them upgrade their iOS firmware. Even grandmas know not to click "update".
BTW thanks for the UI dark patterns Apple assholes.
Ahh the famous Google Products Forum, where all the complaints and bugs are promptly fixed by real human beings!
I recommend "The Bat!".
It's a bit clunky, but it's the best for serious people.
"Cat photos"? Right...
I call them "how do they stay in bussiness if they don't do anything?".
Basically all those shops that never have any customers, yet pay thousands in rent.
(They are fronts for money laundering is the answer!)
