Unfortunately the government is winning, Apple’s ADP encryption is no longer available in the UK. The Online Safety Act was finally forced through after over 10 years.
They’ll eventually get what they want in any case the same way a chisel can eventually dig through a mountain.
In the UK. Their abuse will be restricted to people living within their borders unless the US allows it. The UK is not in any position to harass US companies, even more so now that they lack EU's backing.
Only UK residents (including their children) will really be harmed by this nonsense.
Your government is completely out of control. I can't care about you if you, UK citizens, choose not to do anything about it. You are the only people on the planet in any position to do anything about this.
eSafety is a joke. However, the Human Rights Commission has the funding to launch multi-year investigations into YouTubers that make people cry and poop their pants. That's power, although they do admit the investigations cannot currently proceed beyond investigations due to there aren't any punishments or remedies in the statute. But that's a clerical error that should be remedied some day.
Side stepping local country government, and applying pressure to payment processors to enforce your own rules globally should not be able to happen.
Even a government should not be able to dictate what other countries do.
In theory. In practice you would not allow a single camera drone to be the single point of failure of a mission with such lengthy and risky planning, and dire consequences.
I understand that you’re probably just gonna reply with “still only need one camera”
…but if GPS is jammed, and there’s only one camera per fleet, how exactly are the other drones supposed to navigate towards the spotted targets unless they’re all equipped with cameras?
You are just continuing to spout nonsense. All of the drones have cameras. Using a single designated camera drone is a stupid idea, overly complex and completely unnecessary.
I think the problem is an assumption that people are too stupid to grasp their brilliant idea.
That being said, having all drones equipped with cameras could enable a more robust version of what they’re talking about:
If uplink with human operators is lost, but short-range comms between drones exist, they could use their video feeds to autonomously coordinate amongst themselves.
So now the camera is pointed at the target? How is it checking that the other drones are headed in the right direction? And the personnel on the ground? They're just chillin' waiting for those other drones to come intersect with the stationary spotter drone's line of sight?
We have two years of footage from Ukraine, where camera-equipped drones are launched from a several miles away at most, and where there are networks of pilots and support specialists to assemble and launch more drones in case of (frequent) failure.
I don’t think it’s wise to wager the success of a 6-month mission deep in enemy territory on a plan with a single point of failure, especially when the alternative is equipping each drone with < $100 cameras.
lmao what? You want to loiter with a camera drone to guide other drones to target? How would that work if neither drone knows where it is (drones had no GPS lock, it's a fact, not a speculation)?
Feel this is a disingenuous question, as British TV will do just fine on streaming giants.
Just the BBC cannot and will not make them, and struggling to survive.
Hardly killed. I've been watching Doctor Who since the 1970s and there's been a lot of variation in quality over that time. I stopped watching it sometime around the Colin Baker era as I lost interest in it, but started watching it again with the Christopher Eccleston reboot. Then, I started getting disillusioned with the Peter Capaldi episodes - possibly the best actor for playing the Doctor, but given awful scripts (except "Heaven Sent" which is possibly the best ever episode). I struggled through Jodie Whittaker's seasons as I didn't like her portrayal nor the stories, but now I have to say that I really enjoy Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor even though there's been good and bad episodes of his.
I actively dislike Disney (except maybe TRON and the Black Hole), but I don't think they've killed Doctor Who.
I watched in the 70s too. But never got onboard with the Eccleston reboot.
There are no plans to make more Doctor Who, if it was good they would continue making more. So it's being shelved is probably a more an appropriate phrase.
Someone might take a chance again in several years.
> The Mirror reports that the series will return to BBC One for future series, with Russell T Davies already working on scripts for an additional two series, irrespective of whether Disney decide to continue in their partnership with the BBC beyond this series.
You're just moving the goalposts now; it didn't end until 2022, and what I was responding to was the suggestion that there's no inherent problem with British content, it just needs to be on modern streaming platforms: yes, and the BBC has also participated in that.
Top Gear with that trio ending wasn't a content problem, Clarkson punched a producer and was fired. You can say well that was a bad decision they should have valued keeping him at all costs etc., but there was no good solution there really, he was divisive well before that issue, if they kept him they'd have pleased fans and upset others. The show wasn't (immediately) axed; that probably quite reasonably seemed like the best compromise.
My assumption with bugs like this is that they are “geographically based edge cases” that have been poorly tested due to engineers not being in the right location to test it, but affects a large number of users without throwing a error that can be logged.
