- Comment on Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down 3 days ago:
As I said in my other comment, Ukraine is under martial law. Privacy rights are low on the list at the moment due to Russians invading and killing citizens. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to save lives.
- Comment on Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down 3 days ago:
Ukraine is under martial law, so privacy rights (especially involving something like MAC addresses which Starlink already has, not to mention that most citizens still in country can’t afford it in the first place) are far down on the list. It’s an unfortunate cost of Russia’s invasion. The Ukrainians have already done similar things with cell-based devices, it’s not some massive undertaking that would be new to them. It’s not like they’d make it front page news, either.
Really, it’s not even just Ukraine that could do something. Starlink can too, but because maintaining lists has no ROI they won’t until they’re forced.
- Comment on Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down 3 days ago:
I’d hope that Starlink devices have attestation to prevent MAC spoofing.
- Comment on Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down 3 days ago:
It’s really not all that difficult from a technical perspective. All that Ukraine or Starlink would need to do is keep track of the MACs in use, blacklisting those which have been lost or destroyed. Some would slip through, but it’s better than not doing it at all.
Of course, with Musk being pro-Russian, I don’t expect Starlink to help Ukraine out.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO: We may have AI superintelligence in “a few thousand days” 1 week ago:
Buzzwords all the way down. They claimed that their latest model could reason, but don’t you dare question the accuracy or what’s going on under the hood.
- Comment on Amazon is making its employees come back to the office five days a week 2 weeks ago:
Tech employees hired remotely during the pandemic are now stuck: they either must change everything about their lives to go into the office (mind you, they were full remote when hired) or they must find a new job in a super competitive area (made competitive by suits laying off employees elsewhere). Seriously, remote tech jobs get hundreds if not thousands of applicants per listing.
Those people are fucked.

Why does the headline use megabytes for this? Especially in a report about 2023.
