The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it has developed a four-legged robot designed to jam the wireless transmissions of smart home devices. The robot was revealed at the 2024 Border Security Expo and is called NEO. It is built using the Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) and looks a lot like the Boston Dynamics Spot robot.

According to the transcript of the speech by DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) director Benjamine Huffman, acquired by 404 Media, NEO is equipped with an antenna array that is designed to overload home networks, thus disrupting devices that rely on Wi-Fi and other wireless communication protocols. It will thus likely be effective against a wide range of popular smart home devices that use wireless technologies for communications.

While I agree with the anti-authority statement, I have to say the rest of the post is approaching incoherence. This reads like you did translation party on some apologetics texts.

It has an aneurysm or AI vibe, for sure.

Everything I write is "translated"..

Normal people usually have an innate-mind-language of either

  • visual-cognition
  • auditory-cognition
  • kinesthetic-cognition

I think in abstract-shapes, & have to translate from abstract-forms into English, & it is .. frustrating & tiresome .. to accomplish this,

& it's required ALL the time.

Maybe someday I'll go read what the discussion was, to figure-out if I was having a bad day, that day, & try correcting it..
