Yeah, and you just need an AI to command it strategically. Chat to it, if you will. About strategy.
Luckily nobody has invented such a chat bot, let alone a 4th version of it…

As a person who grew up in post-communism country, those persons in the west who keep commenting about how communism works and if it’s not for xxx it would have worked really make me depressed.
Like can we just move on please. It has already caused some of the most traumatic moments in the entire history of this land. Can we please just move on from this? I don’t want any risk that my future kids have to live through what my grandparents live through just to keep doing this mostly baseless ideological experiment.

I’d wager that the statistical likelihood of that being true is somewhere around 100%

I did not read the article as it requires me to make an account. Still producing explosives is not an easy task. In the US you can but smokeless powder for reloading and such. But that won’t make a bomb without a sufficiently robust device to contain it. Don’t know what that process is like in other countries.

Tell me, did you read the article at all, and have you watched anything to come out of Ukraine in the past year? It is in fact not so difficult as it may seem.

I’m not talking about Steve’s big reveal. It was leaked long before that and everyone said it was dumbest thing, just like what we’re seeing with the headset now.

Not every single carrier supports eSIMs, no, however in the US the current providers that support eSIMs are:
AT&T
Boost Mobile
Caroline West Wireless
Cellcom
Credo Mobile
C Spire
FirstNet
H2O Wireless
Nex-Tech Wireless
PureTalk
Red Pocket
Spectrum Mobile
Straight Talk
Strata Networks
T-Mobile USA
Tracfone
UScellular
Verizon Wireless
Xfinity Mobile
So most of them. Plus more will provide them if Apple continues to roll them out.
And for the ones that don’t, you can use an app that acts as a SIM for that network, allowing you to use an eSIM.
The only real technical reason for carriers to keep physical SIM cards is to dissuade people from switching networks as it’s more of a hassle.

Someone just pitched this to Amazon as a Chris Pratt movie.

I imagine it’s very difficult to make an explosive charge small and deadly enough to fit on a drone.

You are basing this on the assumption that every single carrier uses eSIM, which they do not.

Do not believe this was at all true. When Steve Jobs showed the iPad people were pretty amazed right off the bat.
I mean it was basically this piece of glass that was pretty thin.

I think Bad Company 2 was the first use of this tactic that I remember. Particularly on Arica Harbour.

Is there a corporation that has a militarized army of combat drones now?

Because it's not about its tactical effectiveness, but its strategic effectiveness. You kill those two in a place where they were supposed to be safe, at a time when there was no event near, and most of those other 12,998 are going to always feel in the back of their minds like they could be next, no matter where they are. It shows paranoia, and damages event morale.
But even more, I'm talking about the targeting of civilians for terror purposes. The effect of fear based on the killing of a few is amplified greatly because it's done in a place they're definitely supposed to be safe.

OP11 just came out. P7 has been out a while. Also OP11 features much superior Snapdragon gen 2, has bigger battery, and the camera lens won't break randomly for no reason.

They have been saying that for decades....and we're still here. The earth was supposed to be uninhabitable by the year 2000, then it was 2012, now I think they're saying 2030. Florida was supposed to be underwater already. It's a lie to get you to give up your freedoms.
