Devices sold in the United States will have firmware and wireless settings that ensure compliance with local laws and regulations related to transmission power.
I bought my router the last time I visited Germany and brought it home with me. Now what?
Yes. However, until now, a printer just sat there and printed. We are now approaching a situation where the office printer can locate you and self-propel to deliver your print job. And on the way, it could knock someone down the stairs. So, who does the victim sue?
Electric cars. Plug in anywhere and dodge the tax.
And this does not involve any fancy tech.
One could apply a per mile charge only to alternative fuel (like electric or bio diesel) vehicles. But then you'd get a 'No fair!' whine. And the thought of charging per mile or per zone (like central London) based upon GPS technology make politicians moist.
North Korea's ability to launch (possibly nuclear) missiles at Japan,
So here's an opportunity to do a little negotiations. Japan says it needs to arm up because of the North Korean threat. This makes China nervous. China can step up and sit on Kim Jong-un and maybe Japan will feel more at ease. Joint talks between China and Japan over this could also lead to better communications over maritime boundaries than just sending in the warships.
I've had a bathroom fixture with a germicidal lamp (fluorescent) for a few decades now.
At one time, I looked into what it would take to replace my fluorescent lamp with UV-C LEDs. Close to a thousand dollars IIRC. I wonder if LED prices have come down significantly since then.
All germicidal lights produce copious quantities of ozone
Nope. That requires UV with a wavelength shorter than 240 nm. Germicidal lamps or fixtures are filtered to block wavelengths below 254 nm. Of course, if you don't like ozone, you shouldn't be flying around in the upper atmosphere where all that ozone is pumped through the cabin in the first place.
Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. It depends on how exactly he unearthed details of Clinton's personal server.
From TFS:
Hillary Clinton's improper use of a private email account while she was Secretary of State, which the FBI is investigating as a potential danger to national security.
I suspect that, if Lehel actually got into the server, the hacking charges might be dropped in exchange for his testimony. His viewing classified data, or even getting that close as a foreign national will be used as the evidence of damage in a trial against Hillary. It goes from a potential danger where 'sensitive material could have been at risk' to an actual incident.
Watts per cubic inch (cm or whatever) is just one measure. It's a fine target for aerospace and automotive applications. But it is of secondary importance for fixed installations like solar. Here, the efficiency I'd be interested in is power conversion efficiency. Particularly across a wide range of loads. And I'd like that efficiency to come at a reasonable price as well. Where I can evaluate the dollars spent to save a Watt of inverter loss vs the dollars per Watt that a larger solar panel will cost me.
The size of inverters used in solar installations has already come down to the point where small single inverters per panel are available. Once these units have come down to the size of a paperback book, their physical volume is no longer much of a factor compared to the panel size.
Switching between towers of the same network is called a "soft hand-off", and can be done without dropping a call.
I'm thinking of switching towers/networks with the phone on standby. I'm not aware of any case where one can switch providers (particularly from roaming to home network or vice versa) without dropping a call.
I don't know how a Stingray in active mode would handle a moving caller. Probably just drop the call. On standby, the phone would be handed to the next real tower. But as long as the system name was properly spoofed by the Stingray, the user would probably never notice.
I need to dig a little more. I think your "encryption not available" is GSM encryption of the call (A5/1) but has nothing to do with validating that the tower really belongs to Velus.
This exactly. The "unsecure" icon only appears during a call. It doesn't announce the validity of a tower (or IMSI catcher) that it checks in with.
phones will only connect to a non-home network when the home network is unavailable and not just because the non-home network is stronger.
Hmm. I've traveled between Belgium and The Netherlands (with a Dutch SIM). Every time we would move closer to one system tower or another, I'd get a chirp indicating that we had changed systems and roaming status. And that happened quite frequently for miles (kilometers). So I suspect that my phone was switching based on the strongest tower.
A pilot for a small commuter turboprop airline was on a pilot's web board talking about his companies experience with bird strikes. A 'big jet' pilot jumped into the thread and posted "But all of your bird strikes are in the rear."

but might one day want to be bad.
I don't want to be bad. I just want to negotiate business plans with people and not have some fucking legislator front-running my deals.

they really hate it when you do that.
Then these guys must really have been pissed.

So then, you'll be flying on the Concordski.
Who do you think built them?
There could be some other unforeseen consequences

the modern world runs on power
Tell me about it. You should see the contributions I have to pay the local politicians just to stay in business.
Oh, that wasn't the power you were talking about? Never mind then.
And tax the fuel.

Boeing has filed for a patent on this concept.

Nothing springs to mind at the moment. Sorry.
