If I recall correctly Australia was considered the country most like the United States, I guess not anymore but we are headed that way too!

These folks make some pretty good products (just sayin'): https://mosequipment.com/. Available on Amazon, too; just search "mission darkness" or "faraday bag". Although the Faraday shielding beanies and caps are...uh, a little...much. :shock:

Cool site.

IPhone’s don’t have removable batteries. If you power it down does it still ping a location? Asking for a friend.

If you just turn it off without removing the battery it will still ping the three closest towers, you can be triangulated with 10ft

Australian's and maybe America's in the future.

I always thought those books about 1984, Brave New World, F451 were never going to happen here. Now I'm not so sure. Guns will be first in any event.

Indigenous Australians set fire to Canberra Parliament House.

I wonder if China has figured out how to fund them.

Apparently they want their own sovereign nation.

Maybe they could let them operate casinos.
