  • Anyone with a spectrum analyzer can see people using their earbuds, they can’t deduce any useful information from that. Several analyzers? Yea, can triangulate signals, so what. They still can’t know for sure who they belong to, since BT doesn’t transmit identifying info unless you’re pairing (aka discoverable), and even then it can be randomized.

    Also I posted in in a different comment but I’ll leave this here too.

    I can get a lot further from my phone than I’d be from the drink machine in who knows how many fast food spots before service drops.

    A typical fast food restaurant has dozens, if not hundreds of wifi and bt devices. Nothing surprising when your phone has to fight to get loud enough for your buds.

    From a quick search, bluetooth classic has 79 channels, and if there’s 2.4Ghz Wifi in use, it has 14 in damn near the same frequency range.

    If you’re worried about tracking - there are far easier ways to do that than hope your BT devices are discoverable and then try and match the (possibly randomized) device IDs to you.


  • Depends on the device, there was a story recently of a Nissan infotainment system that was perma-pairing as long as you had the options screen open afaik. If your earbuds are pairing close by, as is the machine - you can probably make some rudimentary motion tracking. Gonna be inaccurate as hell though, and it relies on both devices permanently being in pairing mode.

    This part though is way easier to explain with interference. A typical fast food restaurant has dozens, if not hundreds of wifi and bt devices. Nothing surprising when your phone has to fight to get loud enough for your buds.






  • Maybe if you look at price per fps, otherwise they did have improvements.
    AMD’s 9000 series specifically targets better RT performance (edit: that’s on top of overall architecture improvements), plus they get some new software (FSR4, RIS2), same with NV software, but compared to AMD their midrange is even more disappointing. But if you’re only worried about value, 7800x3d (or 7600 on the budget side) is still king, and buying a (tested) used GPU is still a better option.
    We still haven’t seen all of Intel’s generational range, so far they look p cool



  • I’m happy that the people who built tools of terror (that are of particular significance to me) are getting fucked. I’m not happy which way/fashion they’re getting fucked. We’re on the same page here.

    I’m not gonna write paragraphs about the nature of oppression and theory of state building, I don’t think that’s gonna help anyone. Simply stating my feelings about one particular oppressor. I don’t even know if they’re gonna be dethroned. But I do know the people of that country (and those of perpetrating ones) have infinitely more power over their future than my words on here. And my actions support neither side.





  • It’s not really the plane’s fault, even a solid roof would’ve helped. Also the tu-95 is far from the most expensive.

    And to be fair to the old thing, tu-95’s job description never included countering small drones, nor should any other plane be concerned with that, while on the ground at least. It’s not their job simply. Don’t judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree and all that.

    The major downsides (be it quads or fixed wing) are connectivity and payload weight. There is progress of course, but they can’t do every job in the world, and if you increase the scope of their responsibilities, the price goes up as well.
