NEW: I wrote about Nasa's rather incredible system for detecting tsunamis, in near real-time, by *analysing GNSS signals*.

Some tsunamis are so big, they cause ripples in the Earth's atmosphere big enough to affect GPS.

'It sounded kind of crazy': How ripples in the high atmosphere warned scientists of a tsunami in real time

These devices DO NOT DETECT IMPAIRMENT.
The Minister had to change the law to allow them to be used because the law originally specified detecting impairment.
If you believe anything this head-up-its-own-arse Government says about substance use issues YOU'RE the problem.

At first, the dissonance of the strings distracts. But over time, your ear can't help detecting the notes in the string cluster that do work, presenting the possibility of harmony—a bleak kind of hope.

What did surprise me was that there was very little mention of the detecting community contributing to the costs it is generating, nor any real question that public funds were going to private individuals...

Maybe I'm just odd in finding this utterly unjustifiable?? 😵‍💫

Or it is detecting the number of citizens using VPNs to log into online banking or their remote workplaces, because the data is encrypted and you don't actually know what they are accessing.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
Exclusive: Ofcom is monitoring VPNs following Online Safety Act. Here's how
Ignoring VPNs risks creating ineffective laws, but tracking them threatens people's privacy
