My university contracted out a company to do mail-in COVID testing before the semester starts. Today they sent out an apology email for mixing up the mailing lists for testing coronavirus and sperm motility

duz posted:my fav story is still the one from like a decade ago of a couple guys walking into an australian government office with a fake work order and walking out with the department servers My partner works for the NZ govt and back in like 2012 she was applying for top secret security clearance (yes it's actually called that). It was a massive thing, like people from our intelligence service interview your all of references in person and poo poo. Dumb stuff like having a Russian or Chinese parent or grandparent can disqualify you. Being gay can't, but being in the closet does. Anyway I was at a party around the same time and met a guy who'd just gotten an entry level job at the IT company that the govt contracted in for a bunch of stuff, and without any oversight at all he had access to all the same stuff as my partner had just been granted access to after a 6 month vetting process.

I can see the reasoning in the sense that if you’re in the closet that’s something someone could potentially use to blackmail you, whereas if you’re openly gay that’s probably not going to be an issue if someone threatens to tell everyone

I was just pointing out that they were really careful with who they gave the clearance to, but there was a massive hole in security with their IT contractors.

Yeah that's pretty common, it's a little cleaned up now, but only in a 'we make our contractors get clearance, whoops now it's the contractor's sub-contractors and those subcontractor's contractors that are the security hole because everything is a hellish race to be the cheapest bidder and saving money by being a middle-man.

they're for taking out missiles and artillery shells and the like, they're a defensive weapon basically all the missile tech developed for decades to attack and cripple America's overwhelming force projection capability like carriers is about to be obsolete if it isn't already, and once the technology has matured to be cheap enough and small enough to have units everywhere American forces will become effectively immune to traditional weapons like missiles and mortars chemical and biological weapon development in the near future is going to be insane and the next for reals war is going to kill more civilians than WW2

Powered Descent posted:drat near any talk by Deviant Ollam is worth watching. He's a cool guy, he has a handy github repo with some rulers you can use to measure key bidding numbers https://github.com/deviantollam/decoding/tree/master/Key%20Decoding (just line up the image with a key in a photo in photoshop/gimp/whatever, get the numbers, print out a clone at your local hardware store). Also not all hacking is as low tech as the previous posts make it seem. A lot of hacking is done by looking for machines that are missing patches and have well known vulnerabilities or still have the default username/password set. This is often things people don't think of as 'computers' so they aren't patched, this includes iot garbage, elevator systems, printers, generators, AC units, and so on. A unsurprising amount of businesses never think to change the default user/pass for their AC system. Additionally wrt to keys, gas stations are supposed to rekey the pumps, but they usually don't and just use the default ones that you can buy online for ~20 dollars.

So far all they said is that it works on a drone and maybe missiles/mortar shells. Someday it might work on something bigger.

Seems to me any laser that could actually destroy an inbound missile or shell would have really high power requirements. Like, it would presumably be limited to stationary applications, or ships. It seems to me that it would have the same limitation as CIWS, which is that they have like 3 seconds to detect and shoot down an incoming missile

Thanatosian posted:Was it this thread that was talking about other countries using bioweapons against the U.S. since clearly they gently caress us over way more than they gently caress over other countries, now? Like, previously it was thought countries wouldn't do that because it would gently caress over everyone, but now we've shown that it fucks us over way more than other countries, so all of a sudden they're viable again? the real reason that bioweapons will be deployed against America is that they'll be just about the only viable means of attack For all the repeated humiliations when loving around overseas in Vietnam and the middle east, America is still the only power on earth with genuine global force projection capabilities and no other nation, or possible coalition of nations, could mount a credible threat to the American continent save for the comedy nuclear holocaust option. so it's going to continue to be terrorism and civilian-targeting attacks as the world slides into the climate apocalypse and America becomes a target for an ever-increasing number of people who've been hosed by imperialism and have no other recourse redleader posted:not watching that vid, but are these actually feasible weapons/defensive systems, or are they more just MIC grift and dick waving, like the useless laser-on-a-747? they can have severe limitations due to weather conditions and as another poster noted they're power-hungry and huge so a lot of what's in the video isn't currently real the thing with missiles is that they're extremely fragile objects traveling at extremely high velocities, a laser doesn't need to be able to vaporize one, it only needs to burn a hole in the side to destabilize the missile or set off its payload or fuel reserve, and the tracking technology has existed for a while, it's just a matter of making it smaller and more consistent. technically it's feasible, whether products which get deployed happen in the near future is a toss-up but probably not since there's presently no real need, but it's not a question of 'if' so much as 'when' also dealing with drones will likely be more important in the future than missiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndFKUKHfuM0 just listen to that demonic cacophony as they swarm around Wheeee has issued a correction as of 00:29 on Aug 18, 2020 |

The only project I know of that is actually moving forward is a dazzler defense system on an aircraft carrier. Basically it is meant to blind the sensors of drones, and possibly damage vulnerable control surfaces. If that is the best they can do drawing from a nuclear powered floating city, I don't think directed energy weapons on fighter jets are imminent.
