All right, someone’s gotta play along.

I imagine by the time you see the tiny drone and are able to aim at it, it’s likely too late. And what if it’s a kamikaze drone and the explosion is bigger than anticipated?

Telling your soldiers to shoot at that sounds riskier than “take cover as soon as you think there’s a drone”.

Anyway my understanding is that so far drones are more useful for destroying stuff than killing people.

A much simpler countermeasure to armed drones is a net.

As for surveillance drones… I’m not sure militarily speaking they care all that much. The enemy already could be watching them with satellites, high altitude drones or balloons that would be nearly impossible to detect, or plain old binoculars, anyway.

Unless it’s a covert operation, in which case the enemy launching a drone to find you is already very bad.

Huh. So I can blame the British for influencing Canada to be fucked up.

Frickin’ temperatures. Fahrenheit for ovens and pools and Celsius for the rest. Why.

What a surprise!

Maybe I’m too jaded but I couldn’t have imagined a different future for blockchain tech. It’s just so… Profoundly meaningless and inefficient.

It sucks, but it could’ve been worse. They could just have killed it.

Nova being a mature product, maybe it’ll be okay third way. Hopefully.

Huh. I can see drones, action cameras and spy cameras being able to store lots of super high quality footage with this. Like, so much footage it lasts longer than the battery.

It’s niche, but I can see the use case.

Would just washing your face produce a similar effect?

I can see why they would want that. They may consider email to be inherently less safe than their platform, so they don’t send any sensitive information there.

Canada’s government stuff also generally works that way, except without any links.

I’m not sure how legit their concerns are, but it’s a thing.

Well at a furniture store I can understand. Maybe it’s someone from a business buying a lot of furniture.
