GO HOME, MAGICEARTH, YOU'RE DRUNK.

Un bar, et un service de vidéo 24h/24 à cet endroit ?
Mais y'a RIEN à cet endroit, c'est un CHEMIN DE TERRE ENTRE UN CHAMP ET UNE AUTOROUTE (!)
Mais d'où ils sortent ces données ? C'est bizarre.
Elles ne sont absolument pas dans OpenStreetMap.

Ou alors ils empoisonnent leurs cartes pour prouver les vols de données.

8️⃣ Die oben geforderte #Souveränität bedingt auch, dass man sich auf die eigenen Dienste verlassen muss. Dazu gehört auch klare, transparente Kommunikation.

Aber genau das lasse #Galileo, das europäische System zur Satellitennavigation, das von allen modernen #GPS-Chips unterstützt wird, sträflich vermissen, schreibt @bert_hubert .

Kurzfristig und ohne Gründe ist letzten Monat ein wöchiger (Teil-)Ausfall von Galileo angekündigt worden. Trotz Rückfrage bisher unbegründet.

"GNSS under attack: Recognizing and mitigating jamming and spoofing threats" by GPS World - As costs come down on GPS signal jamming and spoofing techniques, it no longer requires nation-state resources for doing it any more. As attacks become more common, defenses such as signal filters for countermeasures increase too. Self-driving cars and farm machinery may adopt RAIM already in use in aircraft. gpsworld.com/gnss-under-attack #GNSS #GPS #Galileo #jamming #spoofing #tech #aviation

#TV-signal based #BPS tested as fallback for #GPS — digital TV infrastructure could come to the rescue if #satellites are compromised
Broadcast Positioning System (BPS) works by adding an #ATSC frame to output, and this will usually provide timing accuracy to 100ns, which is good but not quite as good as GPS (~10ns). However, for BPS positioning, you will need to be in signal range of four transmitters, and even then, accuracy will be in the order of a 100-meter radius.

Note found in downed Shahed hints at new control system, Ukraine comments

"As The Economist reports, Ukrainian specialists also found that the new Shahed models are nearly immune to electronic warfare systems because they do not rely on GPS. They are guided by artificial intelligence and use Ukraine's mobile networks to transmit information."

RBC-Ukraine · Note found in downed Shahed hints at new control system, Ukraine commentsBy Viktor Nazarenko

Ever wish you knew who already collected the GPS data you need?

We propose OpenGPS—a platform to share, store & process human mobility tracking data.

🌍 Phase I: metadata sharing, find out who has what
📦 Phase II: data storage & sharing
🧠 Phase III: privacy-aware cloud-based analysis tools

✅ Prototype already live

The subtitle icons themselves function as buttons, which re-direct to a note that is generated via a template containing a geomap widget, and the coordinates as the note title, stored when either of the two ViewToolbar buttons is pressed.

Continued thread

Now the subtitle—in addition to showing the timestamps—contains a location pin icon for the origin GPS coordinates, and a globe icon for the last modified version GPS coordinates.

These are set manually, just to keep things more intentional and optimized, via two new ViewToolbar buttons: fetch current coordinates (for the most recent coordinates) … and set created coordinates, which will populate fields for a tiddler's origin coords.

Again the mapping gives me magical powers I didn't know I had 🧙‍♀️🌊
I swear I didn't run on water, nor did I fly above the river 😂

I don't know if the app isn't tracking the GPS signal properly anymore or if the #GPS signal quality has degraded (could it mean that we don't use #Starlink anymore ? That would be good news!)
