I've got a green laser. It's cool to shine it outside at night, because it creates a very visible beam.
It's also very tempting to shine it at things, to see how far away I can see a reflection. Aircraft a certainly a tempting target, being both moving and fairly far away.
I haven't and won't, because I understand the potential risk, but I do understand the temptation. And there are a lot of stupid people out there.
Nice line for a laugh, but this actually won't work.
GPS chips are cheap, and most of the drones beyond the very basic level have them. In the event of loss of signal (And it's a digital, frequency hopping signal that you *might* be able to jam, but you won't be able to take over.) most multicopters will ascend to ~100 feet, fly slowly to their launch point, then slowly land.
It makes stealing your account a lot more difficult. If someone p0wns your email, they can no longer use FB's "reset my password" tool to compromise your FB account. The password reset mail (or the change of email confirmation) will be encrypted.
CIA: Hey, MI5.... Can you do me a favour? I'll owe you one. MI5: Sure, what do you need? CIA: Can you skim through these PCs and look for evidence of this thing I'd like to know about? MI5: Sure, no problem.
A good manual saves 80% of helpdesk time. A really good manual saves 90%.
Ikea manuals are really good. They even allow their products to be less logical in construction, resulting in lower production cost and lower transport cost on top of the lower helpdesk cost. The manual is a one time investment, the others are continuous.
The problem is that very few people read manuals, and the sort of IT-ish people who read/. are among that few. Software (And software meant for end users, like Windows and Office...) used to come with manuals that ran to hundreds of pages, and documented every feature. Most of them never left their shrink wrap.

The problem being, is that it is still illegal to upload that digital copy. And bittorrent is peer-to-peer, which means unless you have specifically configured your client to *not* *share* with other members of the swarm, you are uploading.
Where do you think the notice companies get your IP address? You sent them a piece of whatever content they're complaining about.

Do some reading. Bitcoin is absolutely uncounterfeitable.
Unfortunately, there have been more than a few fraudulent exchanges, which has more to do with the involvement of amateurs than anything else. The marketplace is improving fast.
There have been multiple places where the total paper ballots cast exceeded the number of eligible voters. Paper changes the fraud, but does *nothing* to stop it.
Stuffing a ballot box with fraudulent paper ballots is risky, and relies on many people to be effective in multiple polling locations.
Falsifying electronic records requires a few people at a strategic points, and can be impossible to detect.
I got hit April 25th with this. I noticed within an hour, and it took me about an hour to determine that my connection to the pool had been spoofed, and my miners redirected to the attackers pool. I had no idea at the time *how* it was done.
My mining software was a couple of months old at the time, and the latest version would ignore such redirect requests. I updated and continued on, having lost maybe 2 hours of mining.
The redirect comes from that fact that the "Stratum" protocol used by many minors to request work from the pools was originally designed as a wallet to blockchain server protocol. Under that use case, it makes sense that the server might suggest to a (wallet) client that they use another server.

Hi Jack!
To see if I can track an IP address!

Is it worth encrypting:
a) You just asked to change your primary email to kiddie@yougotpwned.com. Click this link to confirm.
b) You just asked to reset your password. Click this link to confirm.
?

Obviously you caused the earthquakes.
Where in Florida? Because we're going to sue *you*.

Put it into to Photoshop and eye-dropper the colours. They are quantitatively light blue and dark brown.
But they can perceived as either blue and black or white and gold.
..... Wait, what?
Oh. Nevermind then.

Not much use if the create a distraction and grab the laptop before you can do anything...
It was encrypted. And seized while he was logged in and active.
Initial analysis was done before the laptop was allowed to shut down.
The feds may be cavalier about laws, but it's a mistake to think they are stupid.
Apparently he was arrested (in public) at a library, and the techs who got the laptop knew what they were doing...
It was logged in, and they spend several hours copying data without letting it sleep or lock.
Full disk encryption is great, but assumes that you won't have unlocked it for the attacker.

Yes, of course your lending habits are kept private, and legally protected. You can relax.
The access logs of the security cage, on the other hand.....
Yeah, I saw that 30 seconds *after* hitting the submit button. :facepalm:
