Given that one of the first bombing targets in Iran which the US hit was a girls' school, and that got a lot of press, your comment goes beyond ignorant into wilfully ignorant and offensive.

It's not about hand-washing so much as not being exposed to the local microbiome. When I travelled in Latin America the advice was to soak vegetables in diluted iodine for at least 20 minutes before using them to make salad.

Russia? China? I don't understand why you'd think this would be such a gotcha.

... or we take all you cute guys for a weekend at the Bohemian Grove.

You choose.

Yeah. There are a number of ways to encode instructions.

Connect to what? My old Kindle connected via 3G. They'd have to rebuild the 3G cellular system to brick that. It will also connect via USB to allow access to its storage for side loading PDFs and open format compatible content. Since that requires no Amazon app, it will be fine. It still has many good years of life ahead of it.

Ever thought about moving the gaming PC? :-)

But seriously, there are cheap wireless KVM solutions for 1080p, and slightly less cheap 4K HDMI wireless extenders. I haven't seen any 4K + USB, but they probably exist. But I'd imagine anything wireless is going to be artifacty.

If you can run a single Ethernet cable in a crawlspace or attic, you can get a KVM extender for $153, and that presumably would be a clean, near-zero-latency HDMI and USB repeater (because it's probably just a bunch of level shifters).

Why would you use Steam Link for a TV and waste precious network bandwidth and suffer compression artifacts and lag just to avoid running an HDMI cable? Even if it is in different rooms, $90 plus a point-to-point Cat5 cable will solve the problem permanently without all the hassles associated with using software workarounds.

Steam Link makes perfect sense when you're talking about headsets that are mobile, but streaming to a fixed device like a TV set sounds like a niche use case that would be better served with dedicated hardware.

You transmit using a secure protocol (burst, frequency hopping) and then move. The enemy can only track your position to where you last broadcast from (you can bet the Iranians knew roughly where the missing pilot landed). At some point, the subject can stop transmitting and listen for instructions from the rescue team.

I'm sure the three people who bought the vision pro will appreciate it.

... one of these.

You can buy a rough civilian equivalent from REI.

What exactly is the proper modern approach to warfare?

Same as it always was: don't do it you idiot.

The bad guys will continue to innovate and find new vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, the bug hunters have all been laid off, to be replaced by this new system. Until someone realizes that, up until now, it has been finding bugs based on the training it has scraped from the far corners of the Internet. And since there is no training data on these new attack methods, it falls on its face.

Why? Because it might upset the purchasers of the more expensive 6-core models? So, ship them with a few dead pixels and you can still call it the budget model.

As in "Take the money and run"?
