The DoD even spent a ton of money building their own Iridium gateway in Hawaii, which is linked to the other DoD teleports in Hawaii. A lot of military M2M stuff uses Iridium, not just voice. Blue for…

The fun thing about Iridium is that it's one of the few existing examples of satellite-to-satellite backbone links in space. The satellites are in polar orbits and talk to each other by direction…

I have heard of HTML5/WebRTC API browser fingerprinting that can expose a user's RFC1918 private IP address (10.x.x.x whatever...) on their client device, but not MAC address. https:/&…

And you paid for gas and everything else in cash only, right? It's trivially easy to track a person's movements if they use credit/debit for most payments.

Not dubious, tor is used by all sorts of abusive spam bots and people who just want to shitpost for the lulz.

And all of the above while avoiding security cameras that will capture your license plate, and using a $200 thinkpad you bought for cash. Oh, and you drove to another state, you DID leave your trackin…
