Don't you do cocaine at ME,

Always glad to see us moving away from the Gibsonian techno-dystopia and moving further into the realm of PKD's "Second Variety" with a touch of Dr. Strangelove mixed in.

I can already hear government suits shouting: "We need killer robots that can kill their killer robots! We can't afford a killer robot gap!"

Michael, you idiot, I told you that plugging Son of Anton into the skynet would result in murder bots, and now you're getting shot by a robot like I said you would.

Apparently a popular encrypted messaging app in widespread use by international criminals was actually being run as a joint American/Australian FBI sting. :lol:

on the comical side, (according to the article at least) the only way to get that particular app was... getting another in-network criminal to give you a referral to the loving fed informants, to sell you a bugged phone that also charged you a subscription fee for the app, because why not.

It's hardly new, though. A Swiss company called Crypto AG provided secure comms equipment to companies and governments all over the world for decades. Last year it was discovered their products were all compromised through and through, because since 1970, ownership of Crypto AG itself was held by... the CIA. (And for 20 years or so before the ownership became official, there had been a "gentleman's agreement" in place that amounted to the same thing.)

In the years after the establishment of the state in 1948, the Israel Defense Forces also acquired some Enigmas. The machines were tinkered with to adapt the keys to accommodate the 22 letters used in the Hebrew alphabet and then pressed into service to keep the new state’s military secrets under wraps.

However, apparently unbeknownst to Israel’s military, the seemingly secure Enigma machine codes had already been cracked in what was one of the most closely guarded secrets of WWII.

That 20+ Kids and Counting show had a picture of their shitters up a long while ago, they had tandem shitters, iirc one was child size.

Also, shitters without walls were everywhere when I was in the army. Like the military didn't have money to put up partitions, especially in training.

If we were in the field, I just used the la-tree-line.

Is there a technology that doesn't actively kill people that has been successfully banned? Stuff like cancer-causing chemicals is hard enough, it seems unlikely that you can outlaw something like face recognition.
The thing is, facial recognition technology has literally no legitimate uses. There's no good reason for anyone to be using it.

I would want any use of it to be a federal felony with a draconian minimum sentence, and any company found systematically using it be fined in proportion to the company's value at a level that guarantees the company goes bankrupt.
