That’s because Beirut is 60 miles from northern Israel and Tinder’s max is 100 miles IIRC. These are small countries we’re talking about here. Phones don’t use GPS these days if they can help it - WiFi triangulation is significantly faster and uses much less battery - so GPS jamming wouldn’t have anything to do with Tinder matches.

This didn't happen before the war started.

Probably some new-age hippies at Tinder taking the 'make love, not war' manta to heart. /s

I haven't the slightest idea what point you're trying to make, except perhaps arguing that the GP should for some reason go to Ukraine and fight if they think the invasion was wrong?

Yes, if that's what they expect "the world" to do lest it "only does whatever is convenient".

Which weekly nuclear threat? Sensational out of context drive by sound bytes from the likes of Guardian, Fox News, Twitter and video gammer subreddits are not sources - they’re click bait.

https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews Months and months of this nonsense now. Do you really think Solovyov and Simonyan are broadcasting it without official approval?

I literally just wrote Twitter is not news. And you posted a random Twitter profile. I’m not even sure what you expect me to see there.

Show me any actual authoritative source not from social or drive-by media pointing out where the official Russian position is some kind of first strike.

I'm not a NATO strategist or anything, so I'm adding this as a child comment, but I think the big story in the GPS/aviation world these days is probably Russia's n̵e̵a̵r̵-̵c̵o̵n̵s̵t̵a̵n̵t̵ frequent jamming of GPS over Poland, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Lithuania. Degrading and even neutralizing strategic infrastructure in EU and NATO countries, significantly affecting commercial aviation at the least, is a big dea…

It should be a big story, as should be the fact that Russia invaded a peaceful neighboring country and keeps murdering, raping and torturing its residents. But somehow much of the world pretends not to notice and only does whatever is convenient at the moment (buy Russian oil/gas, do business in Russia, stay "neutral", etc). I find it incredibly depressing, I thought that surely in the 2020s our civilization would ha…

I find it rather sad too, especially the US politics at the moment where it seems one man basically can block the political system and let Putin win.

The article was interesting alone, simply for the Google Dork technique explanation. Have not heard the "unusual, yet specifically frequent" search technique described that way previously. Very similar to what's necessary for searching StackExchange and similar, such as "site: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/ tracking private planes" The Bombardier Global Express 6000 GLT6 result is interesting, as it's a plane wi…

Apparently people now call using Google's advanced search operators Dorking, neat! I guess I've been dorking for a while. Most of us know about "site:" since it's extremely handy, but there are a lot more. For some reason I had it in my head that many of the documented operators didn't work properly -- or at least I couldn't get them to work properly the last time I tried to experiment. I'll have to try again.

Google dorking has been a thing for more than 20 years: https://kit.exposingtheinvisible.org/en/google-dorking.html

This is not a source, it’s an option piece and not even on topic. Anything from ISW is not neutral, it’s ideological due to the Nuland-Kagan connection: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F1kjvOsXwAA1tVk.jpg

If anyone found the above interesting, I wrote a short article mapping plane activity on FlightRadar's 'blocked' list (i.e FlightRadar had agreed to remove the ADBS data from their dataset following probable legal pressure). https://dfworks.xyz/blog/hnwi-osint-private-jet/ Slightly tangential so feel free to remove if irrelevant

That was interesting, thanks. I liked the co-location analysis idea.

I see 2 red cells on the US/Mexico border right about Texas/Coahuila region. Navigating that dessert region without GPS or with GPS for that matter can be deadly.

That's the most curious jamming I see on the map—anybody know why jamming is present there? Is there a military base in that region?

Probably because it's pilot training bases and the maneuvers they perform tend to throw off the ADS-B due to signal issues.

There are plenty of Russian apologists in the US as well, unfortunately
