Droning On, Drone Wars Dept. 4
I should have known that it was too good a target for a talented cracker to overlook.
Back to the droning board.
Via LQ.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Ex-virus-writer self-publicist gone legit. But how does he know his rig will hijack Bezos drones since he couldn’t test it? What army of zombie drones exists? Where are they to hijack? I’ve yet to see even one in the airspace where I live. Lots of old-fashioned helicopters though. How long did it take him to write his publicity plan?

He doesn’t. But I think he’s made a point.
These puppies will be vulnerable, and not just to your cranky old neighbor with a shotgun.

Yeah. However, until they can lift gold bars or something really valuable it may be more trouble than its worth to steal from them. I’m trying to think of their nuisance value in being taken over to annoy pedestrians and crash into things. I suppose it will be done. Thieving pizza deliveries might be attractive.

Why do I find myself thinking of the robots who policed the pods in The Matrix?
