It is delusional to think the chances are good of a neighbor just looking up the map and joining in. Geeks need to talk to people in real life, especially in their neighborhood. Team up with at least one other person. Use word of mouth. That is effective change.
Unfortunately I live in a remote area with non-tech people who are not conservative enough to be preppers. I will still run it past them though.
One in your state? Wouldn’t you need one in your line of sight?
The map does not say if a node is high unfortunately.
In NSW Australia there are hardly any two near each other. What is the point of all these people even buying one if you don’t team up with at least one neighbour?
Thanks to both of you. Never heard of it before. Might come in handy when I make music. Have a fanless (ie silent) laptop under which I place picnic ice bricks. Controlling my desktop (sunshine) with the laptop (moonlight) might be better.
Yes I meant functionally ie I meant remote desktop generically rather than RDP. Can I think of sunshine & moonlight as just another alternative to VNC (except better performer?).
When you say stream you mean remote desktop, right?
Yes but you need access to the culprit’s computer for the lag measurement.
It wasn’t the lag from the employee’s computer to Amazon which was being monitored.
It was the lag from the hacker to the employee. Amazon could not have monitored the hacker’s computer.
But the infiltrator hacked the remote worker’s computer.
The actual worker may have been require to use…

But the lag from the infiltrator to that is what was detected. There was presumably no Amazon software installed on the infiltrator’s computer so how can the lag be measured?
How did Amazon know the lag?
Tax land in particular. Can’t hide land easily from tax office.
Definitely proof reading. Especially for people who can barely write intelligibly. They can check themselves if the meaning is still correct and they will learn grammar from the process.
Looks like click-bait. It is a proposal from by one old fart in the 800 member House of Lords. Not a serious Bill.

Having said that, it is important to nip such ideas in the bud.
Fuck this. Enough spam as it is. Tie every fucking line on the planet to an id.
Phreeli won’t, at least, offer a platform for spammers and robocallers, Merrill says. Even without knowing users’ identities, he says the company will block that kind of bad behavior by limiting how many calls and texts users are allowed, and banning users who appear to be gaming the system. “If people think this is going to be a safe haven for abusing the phone network, that’s not going to work,” Merrill says.
Yes because if someone installs the Facebook app they have had their phone contacts list slurped. They then build a map of our circles of friends.
I got flagged on Facebook for using an obviously fake name. So I changed to a more plausible sounding name and it worked. I had prepared a doctored passport scan but it wasn’t necessary.
For another FB account they wanted me to get at least two user friends to verify they know me or some bs like that. I didn’t bother. Years later I was able to log into that one anyhow.
They know that they can’t push too hard.
That’s good!!
