      You build a 10 foot high wall, they will build an 11 foot ladder. Stir/shaken was good for like 6 months before spam callers were able to bypass that security measure.

          I’ve been saying for years now that providers should try converting to cert based auth. You get issued a cert with a private key from the provider. You are the only one who can use that number and authenticate to the network with that number.

        STIR/SHAKEN had yet to be fully implemented, so while most carriers are now signing calls, almost none are taking action against unsigned calls.

        I have hope that it will become a useful tool in the future for blocking spam and even bad carriers who are signing anything and everything.

        This one uses semi-litho oscillating iron cores, but essentially amounts to a fancy capacitor with some extra bells and whistles.

        Now this one is the most promising to take on lithium ion. It’s just a giant water wheel. You find a nearby source of swiftly flowing water and it has more battery life than even a nuclear power plant!

        This is just a rock, but our scientists are hopeful it can produce a discharge rate faster than an atomic bomb.

        None are even close to viable, but they will suck up millions in investor money. Invest today! /s

        Nah, you also have to wait until there are equitable food distribution instead of payments to destroy “surplus.”

      Yeah, same. I’ll fuckin’ believe it when I see it. Can’t tell you how many times I have people tell me about the national do-not-call list as if I haven’t been on it already for a decade and scammers and spammers don’t respect it anyway and are unpunished for ignoring it.

      Need to figure out a way to go after posters soliciting this kind of coders in the USA on rentacoder sites, but then there’s the poor coders from other countries who will do it for a few cents on the dollar.
