Cell Site Simulators ( #CSS ), also known as #IMSI catchers,
are among law enforcement’s most closely-guarded secret surveillance tools.
They act like real cell phone towers,
“tricking” mobile devices into connecting to them,
designed to intercept the information that phones send and receive,
like …

The Next Generation of Cell-Site Simulators is Here. Here’s What We Know.
Dozens of policing agencies are currently using cell-site simulators (CSS) by Jacobs Technology and its Engineering Integration Group (EIG), according to newly-available documents on how that company provides CSS capabilities to local law enforcement. A proposal document from Jacobs Technology,...

🍄🌲 Mit frischen oder tiefgekühlten #Waldpilzen und #Suppengrün zauberst Du im Handumdrehen eine aromatische #Waldpilzsuppe. Probiere dieses einfache Rezept doch mal aus. Tipp: Im Superm…

Waldpilzsuppe
Megaeinfaches Rezept, das ich manchmal zücke, wenn ich beim Wandern zuviel Pilze gefunden habe. Ansonsten ist für Mischpilze eher Basmati-Reis mit Pilzen am Start.

Exploring the Use of Cold Atmospheric Plasma for Sound and Vibration Generation
In this study, we investigate the potential of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) as a non-contact excitation device, comparing its performance with an ultrasound transmitter. Utilizing a scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV), we visualize the acoustic wavefront generated by a CAP probe and an ultrasound sensor within a designated 50 mm × 50 mm area in front of each probe. Our focus lies in assessing the applicability of a CAP probe for exciting a small polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) sample. By a…

Radiative Properties of Plasmoids and Plasmoid Mergers in Magnetic Reconnection
Magnetic reconnection is often considered as the primary particle acceleration mechanism in a magnetized blazar zone environment. The majority of radiation in the reconnection layer comes from plasmoids and their mergers. In particular, plasmoid mergers can produce strong multi-wavelength flares and major variations in synchrotron polarization signatures. However, radiative properties of plasmoid mergers have not been well explored due to difficulties in tracking the merging processes. Here we …

"I used that example [...] to illustrate how pervasive the effects all these little examples of automation are.[...] But collectively they’re a corrosive force that erodes social bonds and spoils personal interactions and generally makes it less pleasant to go about our days as human beings."

AI can't fix everything automation already broke
Generative AI is the latest in a long line of technologies that promise innovation and fixes but grind away at public life
