Then that's on the customer. Customer shuts off their security system, that's their fault.
Burglars will have no idea if customer switches that feature off, and don't know if it was on in the first place.
Security systems CAN detect jamming.
Security systems frequently check all WiFi devices every 30 or 120 or 240 or 0 (disabled) minutes depending on settings. If device isn't present the owner is alerted that the device is missing. Usually this is after the device already sent a low battery message that customer ignored and the battery is dead. Many systems will detect jamming because they can't find any of the Wifi devices and alert the customer about that.
Back in the 1980's, a friend of mine asked me to try Linux as a platform since he liked it.
I got a basic package for evaluation and thought of a project to start. I brought up the project to friend, he suggested using these libraries, I started to code and wanted to add some other functions, friend now said this level of functionality needed a different basic package and I have to start over essentially from scratch, refactor for all of that, then wanted to add still more functions, and friend again says the new functionality level needed another different basic package and I had to refactor about half it again and some of the previous finished functions were not supported on this new different basic package.
At this point I lost faith in Linux. Adding features required not using other already implemented features. Having a more uniform Linux would help.
For future reference I made a comparison in the 1990's that has worked well to show the scale though it is US measurements.
Sun to Venus as 1 inch, Earth as 2 inches, Mars as 3 inches, Pluto (back when Pluto was a planet) as 54 feet, and Proxima Centauri as 60 miles.
I seldom here if craft like this needs a pilot license. You can't just land a plane to a random airport, you have to book the landing and storage last time I checked. Flight takeoff should be done from an airport too, even a small airport.
Everyone in the team has been using it and they are going off of that. They internally know the process and work with that, but someone who isn't in the team has no idea what the process would be.
Personally, I can segment memory and can sit down in front of a manual and forget I've been working on it for a year and pretend like this is new to me.
I would think the US is a good candidate for these stories because there's more resources and people to make Area51 and similar test zones. I seldom hear these stories from Europe, but occasionally from Russia.
If it indeed were public about captured alien craft or aliens kept in the US, I would think various governments would like to get them just to take them from the US, and various religious groups would want to have an opinion.
Its a dumb question because its asking one question but the followup is a different question.
"Can You Use an Unsafe Computer Safely?" should have been "Ask Slashdot: Can You Use an Unsafe Computer Safely on the internet?"
I have a "trip laptop" where it has the independent games I want, documents, and text editors. Internet and USB is disabled.
Very usable for the purpose intended.
Won't happen but it would work and be hilarious.
Any robot needs a motion shield around it to stop movement if there is something in its motion area as a safety system. Anyone who sets up a robot should know this.

I don't use Linux. X11 does a bunch of things, though some of that doesn't work anymore because of better practices or whatever. Wayland is its replacement I guess, but lacks the some features.
I'm genuinely curious if various agencies in China will now buy up bitcoin because it is at a low price, then sell off just before China can make another announcement like this in the future.
I don't think China would promote bitcoin unless they had a LOT of it on hand, and its in their best interest to crash bitcoin prices until they do.

There shouldn't be a problem. This way they can get the computer program working well. It isn't that much different than computer chess programs.
Yes, I do talk to Trump supporters. Err...listen to them. I don't have much a choice. I'm a quiet person and they like to talk _for hours_. They are my customers and I am labeled as rude if I correct them or get annoyed. I do my job and leave.
You do provide an insight though that I hadn't considered. Most of the groups/society that feel harmed didn't vote Trump and won't vote Trump. No loss to Trump if they are upset. As long as they aren't a majority, nobody important will care. If they were a majority, then Trump wouldn't be in office.
