Yeah, I could build something and it may get to that. This line never rings as it is unlisted and non-published. Yet it did get a robo call tonight.
My friend OldNFO put up an excellent post. Your comms are not secure. They never were. Signalling System 7 has been around a LONG time. Land lines are not secure. Anything you throw out here on the DARPA project known as the Internet, your cell phone, your land line is all up for grabs. Hell, I think FoMoCo and Sirius XM know where the new car is at.
Try this one out. The USPS self serve kiosks used to simply dispense books of stamps. They now thermal print these on demand:
Yep there is a camera on the thing and it knows you as you can only use a Debit or Credit card. I'm betting the barcode links the transaction info to you complete with a picture.
Brave new world indeed. I cry for what the Republic has become. Not so much for the excess of power wielded by some but people that simply do not care. Bread and Circuses indeed.

ReplyDeleteExactly. The problem lies not in the politicians per se, but rather in the electorate.
Indeed PH.
DeleteI suppose the best one could hope for is to not attract any notice. But for those of us with blogs, or Facebook, or e-mail accounts (99.999% of us), it's too late.
ReplyDeleteShepard, its too late as you say. I because of what I do and the permits and certifications I have means its too late. No matter what I say here. So be it.
DeleteThanks for the link, and it WOULD be neat if you could get the old phone working (the back office will STILL read the dial pad clicks)...
ReplyDeleteThe phone is fully functional Sir! I am disappointed that you would not expect that. Me? I fix old and new stuff!
DeleteThe CO will still take Strowger switch pulses? I never would have expected that now. I stand corrected!
The link is nothing. Anyone reading here reads you but thanks for the shout out.
LOL, I had no doubt it was functional! knowing you, I can't see you NOT having anything functional on purpose, and yes they STILL recognize Strowger pulses... :-)
DeleteLove those old phones...as for the rest...phooey!!
ReplyDeleteAgirl, there are so MANY old phones and radios here. I always have a hobby! So many old things that need just a little attention that will still work! Just like Firearms (mostly) !
DeleteThose were great phones. NFO hit it out of the ballpark.
ReplyDeleteYes he did!
