Not too different from the PS4 Spiderman game police surveillance towers which he had access to

Net zero IS HOW YOU DROP BILLS because renewables are cheaper, the lying assholes

Was planning to get another Sony now but they stopped selling their phones in my country...

With Asus taking a pause and all other options being random Chinese brands or budget phones there wasn't really a choice left...

The brilliance market justification of "see, people are buying [literally the only thing offered because options were removed], they like it [complaining loudly]"

Google's "Material You" is "Material anybody-but-you"

So valueless in the metrics that actually matter

No better source than RT?

Clearly you have your ducklings in a row

Fast HDR (not just regular high dynamic range capture) is also technically composite but does capture things that were simultaneously in the scene

Not with that attitude (unscrews the entire thing and shoves in a UV light on a wire in the gaps)

Yeah that's the thing, quantum key distribution can not prove who is on the other end!

It fundamentally can not guarantee that the line is intact before you start communicating. You can in theory detect a break that starts after, but one that happened before is effectively invisible.

Quantum key distribution can not do anything other than key expansion (giving you more secret bits from a few), because the only way to know who is in the other end is to have agreed to a method of validation, such as a signature algorithm (but if you trust signatures you won't care about quantum key distribution) or a shared secret (an authentication tag key). But if you have a large enough secret key, you can just use a regular symmetric encryption algorithm. Some might want forward secrecy from the quantum line, but you can get that with symmetric key ratchets like Signal uses where the ONLY benefit of quantum key distribution is that you avoid key management (but instead you maintain physical infrastructure)

This is neat, but quantum key distribution is stupid as hell because it's only secure if you START OFF WITH A SHARED SECRET to authenticate the key pad and first round of messages.

And if you have that then you don't need quantum encryption because you can do everything with just symmetric encryption (unless you specifically have some very weird forward secrecy requirements where it isn't approved to use asymmetric post quantum algorithms like McEliece)

I call it "breakglass powers". For most it's probably known as "the things I'd do on the last day of my job". Things you can do once and then never again.
