Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, they've been talking about it for a while, but it'll sill be months while the airlines come up with "plans" and submit them. I will be super excited when it actually happens though

New and scary malware:
badBIOS: airgap-jumping malware that may use ultrasonic networking to communicate - Boing Boing
It appears that its initial vector may be a USB exploit, spreading by memory stick, but after that, it appears that it continues to communicate with other infected machines by ultrasonic networking through its hosts' mics and speakers (!).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do people here use for wireframe tools? It's another gap in Visio-provided stencils, IMO, but I grabbed some free ones randomly to give a shot. I have used Pencil in the past, and will be re-evaluating them shortly, and I noticed DENIM and Simple Diagrams.

How the heck would the badbios use the microphones and speakers when power was disconnected?
