Not having read the article, I assume it has to do with Russia firing a bunch of cheap junk that’s not very precise but can still be deadly and costs a lot less than most of the defenses used to destroy them, and can be sent in such large quantities that the defenses can’t get them all.
Can’t watch the video right now; does this one get the frequencies right? Unlike the one in California that Tom Scott featured in a video?
I’m glad to see them doing what they should’ve done all along, but doing what they should’ve been doing also doesn’t merit praise.
Where I feel like they have a suitable place is for vacation rentals. Like when I was a kid our family would rent a house at the beach for a week as our summer vacation. The beach we’d go to had several real estate companies that would manage the rentals and published little booklets every year with the listings. The houses were privately owned, though, so as Airbnb and especially VRBO came along this gave the homeowners another option that was perhaps less expensive than the agencies. These are houses in a vacation area, though, generally not taking away housing from locals. This also was traditionally a family that owned one extra house for family getaways and trying to rent it out when they weren’t using it, not investors creating “hotel” chains. Setting up what is effectively a hotel in a residential area and cutting off housing from people who need it should be an obvious problem yet many people don’t recognize it.
Ford has 3, the F-150 Lightning and the unfortunately named Mustang Mach-E, and the E-Transit van I think is primarily for commercial customers.
On the more affordable end around here I see a lot of electric cars from Ford, Chevrolet, Kia, and Hyundai around here, and to a lesser extent Volkswagen. On the high end it’s mostly Mercedes-Benz and BMW, sometimes Porsche. Once in a while I’ll see Rivian but they don’t have a dealership in our state. Even more rarely I’ll see Polestar, which does have a dealership in a city at the other end of the state, and at least one person here has a Lucid Air.
Edit: also on the high end, there’s at least one Hummer EV driving around here.
Reading aloud I’d usually still say “not applicable”
Didn’t they get hacked pretty regularly in the past?
I’d say Facebook mothers group; a lot of the things they’re trying to illustrate seem like they’d only need a very minimal re-write to be placed on a picture of Minions.
These are shockingly bad! It’s a bunch of “memes” they created themselves by putting some text on top of stock photos from Getty Images, but they really just seem more like normal captions or descriptions for the photos. Then it’s all presented as a BuzzFeed/Bored Panda-style listicle. It’s almost an anti-meme, like an anti-joke.
Depending on your threat model

Just to clarify, “you” in this case refers to companies and marketers, not consumers. Looks like this news website is for marketers/SEO industry people.
Doesn’t need to be publicly traded; just about anything with investors looking for a return
I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.
Obligatory
In a sense what they’re describing here sort of already happened almost 40 years ago from Captain Midnight knocking HBO off-air.

I was using it by 2020 for sure, so it predates the macOS and iOS feature. This was most handy in ERP software we were using that had most info display in unselectable windows. Really annoying when you wanted to copy something like a part number or invoice and put it in an email. This got us around that, and when macOS added the feature it still didn’t help us since these weren’t images.
Fun fact: the shapes of the letters in a font can’t be copyrighted, but the file that defines a font can. The name could be trademarked, though, so even if you redrew a font you might have to give it a different name. If it’s not trademarked, though, that’s how you end up with several companies having their own version of the same font.
