Whatever you do, don't journey into the TOW tech support forum. 😉

This will probably freak you guys out, but welcome to 1947...behold the laser microphone.

That's a weird thing to worry about. If you have you voice assistant horizontally mounted at a window with no curtains and somebody got within "several meters" and set up this whole laser rig to seize control of you device....c'mon. You should be more worried someone has simply jacked your WiFi. But its an interesting proof of concept.

Are you "encumbered"?

The mass transit in Japan is phenomenal too! Quiet, orderly, polite...a real system shock to Chicago mass transit.

Why a robot janitor is TOW's best companion.

I never use mass transit even when it faster and more economical. Too many dirtbags to deal with.

Has anybody watched Another Life. Good? Bad? Opinions?

She should have donated the prize to the UN for all the time and money she wasted. Aaaaaahahahahahaha!

Beijing eyes facial recognition for metro security. Huh.

Yes. It has been determined that they "crave those crazy squares". 😛

Wrt utility poles, it seemed like a one-time payment. Do cell towers offer continuous payments?

DeepMind's AlphaStar achieves Grandmaster in SC2.

Getty fire ignited after branch fell on power line. Looks like they should have turned the power off. Now the only recourse it to sue Anemoi. smh.

I know that video was a spoof but Im really curious about how capable they are now wrt IFF.

A little Googling tells me that while the utility pole is owned by the electric / cable company, they have to pay the property owner for an easement that its mounted into. YAHTZEE! Theres the next huckleberry to pin responsibility on! Man, I should do this for a living.

In that case I think its a combination of Steelers starting QB out for the year and a (then) 2-4 record. Who wants to go watch that at the stadium?

Its a good start! Next they should invest in some accountability. 👍

In my 49 laps around the sun, Ive never seen a utility pole "fall" unless it was struck by a vehicle. They don't rot and are treated against insects. Oh well. I wonder if the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection actually does anything about the thousands of acres that needs clearing?

Cant we just make that 30T by selling all the oil we steal from the countries we conquer?

Third paragraph made me lol. They're just going to have to shut everything down because they bankrupt. Even the utility poles randomly fall over!

MIT develops new way to remove CO2.

What with PG&E already sued into oblivion, who will be the scapegoat for this round of fire damage?

Google tells me that using a "Mag-Lock" is required for picking a lock. Have you tried that?
