In fairness, I think the possibility that someone might light your car on fire is a stronger incentive to not buy a brand than internet posts making fun of the brand. It also means now they have to beef up security at all of the dealerships. Car sales are surprisingly impulse driven, hence the famous high pressure sales tactics, so it’ll be harder to get people in the door if they’re strip searching everyone and if they can’t have as much inventory on the lot, customers can’t drive home with the options they want so less impulse buying. Also full coverage insurance, required for financing, will get more expensive or even impossible to obtain which possibly means a massively decreased customer pool.
I think a better counter argument is the environmental damage caused by lighting all the cancer boxes on fire.
The problem is there’s a very real risk the American people will view the move as illegitimate and prevent the land from being taken in the future, ie under a new admin that jails trump or something. The point of collateral is to reduce risks, not introduce new and exciting ones. Nobody is going to accept lower rates on this unless the aforementioned quid pro quo is real, in which case the deal is already illegal and the downside risks now include prison.
Yes this is idealistic, but the threat is still real and that’s how finance people calculate interest.
It’s mostly a nothing burger. You basically need to have code already running on the chips. It’s less of a backdoor and more of just an undocumented function. That may sound scary but it’s rather common in production chips. In some ways it’s a good thing, it means there are now more possibilities for messing with the chip and doing fun stuff with it.

Tldw: last week Dev postulated this would be the first attempt to probe the courts because trans inmates are probably the least publicly visible group available for such an attack.
There’s already a startup trying to get the FCC to give them half of the 915mhz band (meshtastic, smart home stuff, ELRS, ham radio) for a pay to win GPS alternative.
Blue marble is essentially an open source Google Earth desktop application. Idk if it’s exactly what you want but it’s not terrible.
OsmAnd is the same thing for Android and iOS and it’s absolutely wonderful.

That’s kinda what SAR sats do. They’re using radio waves but they illuminate swaths of the planet with a big dish/array and then look at the reflections. LIDAR sats too.
Yeah that’s the real answer…

Oh 100% magic. And SMT hot air soldering is voodoo magic
That’s still an absurd amount given the context
The keep out databases are mostly nonsense, it’s a big point of contention in the community. If you live near a random hospital helipad or municipal airport and try to fly in your backyard below the tree canopies with a drone with less mass than a bird you are still blocked.
They’re the only hobbyist manufacturer with any scale. If you look at the Dedrone stats it’s just entirely the DJI show followed by AUTEL by a mile and then DIY stuff. The DIY drones can be built from anything and can be trivially designed to avoid surveillance so you’re not gonna get anywhere with them anyway.
This doesn’t do anything, all these aircraft are already in trusts. You can still track them, the N number/ICAO ID is what people are using
