PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation that could reignite inflation and cause shortages of goods if it goes on more than a few weeks.

The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight, and even though progress was reported in talks on Monday, the workers went on strike. The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977.

They're on strike folks

The anniversary of October 7th is rapidly approaching and they had nothing to show for it. This is a political decision, not a tactical or strategic one.

Smuglord Hitler.

Oh, I thought this worked like gambo where when you kill the Ice King the whole White Walker army bursts into shards.

Did they buy a rainbow?

It will be limited alright.

I think that the Axis of Resistance needs to start working on spoofing and hardening devices against GPS (i am certain they already have).

Techniques like this have been put into practice as early as 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93U.S._RQ-170_incident

GPS itself is a weak signal on a known set of frequencies, trivial to jam. For military applications, a different frequency is used, with encryption. It can still be jammed, but you cannot feed it arbitrary data. The spoofing attacks are likely not practical any longer unless the target is using civilian GPS receivers. Modern military hardware likely combines GPS data with other sensor inputs (compass, gyros, altimeter, VOR/DME, etc) as a measure of redundancy. A big goal is for the drone / cruse missile to be radio silent as much as possible. To not require continuous (detectable / jammable) remote guidance en route to the target.

i don’t know if you can stop all civilians in the area from using map software

They might not be thrilled about it, but you can.

but in this case i mean double checking communication devices for tracking bands (many chips can be built to only transmit at certain frequencies)

This is limitation of radio devices in general. You cannot build a transmitter or an antenna which is functional at any arbitrary frequency. The antenna needs to be a harmonic fraction of the wavelength (frequency) being used, otherwise it reflects power back at the transmitter instead of over the air, and does a poor job receiving signals. The transmitter itself is designed to operate within a specific band. There is no trivial way to make a VHF radio transmit on HF bands, unless it has the circuitry built-in to do that.

Shit does need to be physically inspected to make sure extra circuits / antennas haven't been added though. Microwave antennas (e.g. the one in your Bluetooth earbud) are very small, and can literally just be a small zigzag trace on a printed circuit board.

But how do you think the West determines where to put the laser if not via satellite imagery? And if they are figuring out a location from satellite imagery, what would they use if not GPS, which was put into space for this purpose?

They choose targets based on satellite imagery (along with other intelligence sources), but I am pretty sure lasers are used on the same platform firing the weapon (the plane). Going back to the Gulf War in 1991, GPS systems were already being undermined by general radio jamming techniques. Possibly even as an unintended benefit of systems aimed more generally at jamming military communications. While it is possible to fuck with laser targeting systems, it is not something you can do just by setting up an antenna and transmitting garbage. They are much more resilient against interference, and if you already have a plane flying the JDAM to its target, you might as well point a laser at it.

I thought the problem with Ukraine is that their electrical infrastructure is all built to Soviet specs with Soviet equipment, which the West never manufactured in the first place.

Nasrallah woke up every day for the past three decades with the understanding that this would likely be his fate.

They must have expected a reprisal. The resistance strategy of "boiling the frog" deliberately makes the status quo for Israel untenable. If Israel is forced to choose between conceding to the resistance, breathing through a pillow, or terrorism, it is going to choose terrorism every single time.

Everything about Israel's behavior is predictable. They will take any opportunity to assassinate their enemies. They will kill as many civilians as possible in these assassinations. Nothing about their modus operandi has changed in decades. They have been projecting their intent to do this for months. People might not have been prepared for it to happen at this specific moment, but there is nothing unexpected about it.

They've been jacking off about this for months. They raised a trial balloon recently, accusing the airport of storing Hezbollah weapons. It was disproven fairly quickly, but forced the Lebanese state to actually walk around the airport facilities in front of a news camera. Of course, the original headline spread far and wide before anybody published the "what the fuck are you talking about?" rebuttal.
