#4 You are welcome, newc. Please mark your original work in the way I did above, ok? I put the Strava link in the source box, as you’d left that blank. Finally, I put it in Science&Technology because newish technology is involved.

#5 Yes TW. I do not file things right and thats a problem.

I had no media source but the twitter accounts and what I looked up. Weirded out on sending everyone there.
I probably should have never said a thing but it was like Pokemon on the ranges so it is not anything new, really. Just "Harmless" IOT making the world.... really I do not know. Dangerous?

#6 My takeaway: They have traffic round-abouts in London also.

It's a plague, I tell you, a plague..!

Something like http://www.globalgeophysical.com/ is what you seek.
Good Company but others may be more on top of it so to speak.

You did original reporting, which is fine, newc — that’s why I gave you the byline, like badanov gets for his own work. And like him, you provided a key information source. We’ll get you trained. As soon as our new moderators — Frank G, 3dc, and Glenmore, to be followed shortly by Alaska Paul and Skidmore — climb a little higher on the learning curve, we’ll write up a post on how to categorize things, ok?

#11 Oh my goodness, you've got to be kidding.

They ban iPhones from sensitive sites but let troops and officers wear their Fitbit which is essentially an iPhone on your wrist.

This is probably one of the most stupid things I've ever heard of...well maybe not the most stupid, after all these are the same geniuses who bought computers for sensitive programs from China and virus protection software from a Russian company with known ties to the KGB (what the hell do they call themselves these days?).

Yep our Cyberwarfare guys are the best in the world...gives me a nose bleed thinking about this.

#15 I guess the moral of the story is: If you are going to get kidnapped in a third world shithole, make sure you wear your fitbit?
