TETRA? The radio protocol used by the police?
Sigh...
I did not expect them to be so dumb as to break their own specific encryption systems...
Well, I guess I expected the bare minimum from the government, and they let me down...
....again.
Also, the implementation is fucking horrible. The rule is literally "Press, Think, Speak", because requesting to speak and opening a connection takes a solid 5-10 seconds. Very good if you want to communicate while in a burning house. Literally everybody hates it.
Oh, what the fuck?
One of the key benefits of radio communications, is that it acts as a megaphone, but only to people monitoring the channel.
Press the PTT key, and talk (following established radio protocol), 5-10 sec delay is crap!
That's why fire over here is either on analog FM or DMR
That sounds horrible. What about this stupid standard takes this fucking long? Is it not improvable by current tech?
They are working on it. The TETRA standard is from the 90s, and by now the last fire departments are switching to it (TETRA)
Maybe 20 years between the federal decision and the last county implementing the new standard.
Are you using a different Tetra than anyone else? Because every radio i have used takes at max 1-1,5s to establish communications?
No it's the tech behind milk cartons, tetrapak
It's what caused all those children to go missing
Sacrifices had to be made
So Alfa Laval?
Just fuckin' start rectally examining every damm citizen!
yep, just in case theyre hiding a terrorist or pedophile up there.
Security through bureaucracy.
Please don’t.
Sorry but do you have a Please Don't Form 1302?
Only the Can You Don’t 3907B
That one does not apply today or tomorrow.
But I have a The Eighties Called 60873.a form that allows me to use that previous one
Europeans: "Those perfidious Russians and the nefarious Chinese are the two single biggest threats to our domestic security. Why... they'll just hack into any old thing and fill it full of evil communist propaganda. They'll shut down our critical infrastructure, hijack our data services, and spam us so full of phishing attempts that you won't know what's safe to click on! And all just to watch us fail, then laugh at us. The fiends!!!"
Also Europeans: "Google's CEO said we need to dismantle the last ten years of digital safety standards so we can undermine the YouTube adblocker. Make this our top priority."
i hope this is exclusively anti-google and not some in-between the lines way of saying we're also being too harsh to two genocidal dictatorships
Golf clap
If anyone actually bothers to read the EU website, it's not the EU you have to worry about
Who is it then?
In one one of the randomly selected messages at the top of their homepage they show their opencollective page. They've marked themselves as Australian
