Any source besides Twitter? Looking for a link I’d be willing to click on..
What officials? Weren’t there multiple incidents within days or weeks of each other, involving different cables, and nearly damaging a gas pipeline as well?
From the article here https://archive.ph/bUsFH#selection-1451.0-1451.314
"At least two of the ships suspected of causing damage appear to have dragged their anchors 100 miles or more across seafloor. A ship that dropped an anchor by accident, Toveri said, would immediately be dragged so noticeably off course that crews would scramble to bring the vessel to a stop and assess the damage."
The most recent ship accused of this type of damage was also loaded with spy/electronic/surveillance gear.
Once is an accident, twice is unusual, three times.....
Show me that it can scale then we'll see. So many announcements and promises are based on little tiny demonstrations on a lab bench.
kevinsky commented on Why or how do you trust home security (camera) setups? · Posted by u/weMadeThat
All my cameras use wired access to a dedicated VLAN with no access to any other compute/IOT devices.
I tried to pick a vendor that keeps the video camera footage in my country but that is something few vendors discuss and with the ubiquitous cheapness of AWS S3 it's hard to verify where your data is.
I also chose not to have any cameras inside the home as a privacy measure.
When using the web access tool I changed the default password and go through the users to remove people who no longer require access (house/pet/kid sitters)

I am getting used to good products becoming worse for reasons that are never explained. As long as I am not seeing ads in the interface this is still better than forgetting a password.

Is this article layout busted for anyone else on mobile? The words are all cut off on the right side of the screen in portrait and landscape in safari and firefox, I had to resort to reader mode to actually make it readable.
> Set in a near-future dystopian Detroit, Arnason’s story imagines a writer working at home on a novel about a space-age heroine battling a “warlord’s minions” and trying to rescue her would-be lover. Meanwhile, through the newspaper, the radio, and the window the terrible reality of life keeps intruding on the writer’s thoughts.
Seems like an interest storytelling device though - on the todo list it goes!
Broken pagination for me too

Best quote from the article
"It doesn’t sound like they needed him as much as he needed them."
Bears don't need people, just leave them alone.

They would be more relevant if the hostile or snarky users were effectively quietened.
