Boston Bombing Suspects - MIT Shooting - Manhunt


Recommended Posts

and if it was illegal, then there is a lot of websites that aggregate scanner radios that should of been shut down already

I'm listening to the police scanner stream and I keep hearing them say "watch your mic" what's that all about?

They don't want to give details out on the radio

over here we're working on new fully digital emergency communication systems across services. I think Norway is failing bad barely rolled out in a few major cities and hugely over budget, while Sweden has managed to do it on or nearly on budget so far and about on time I believe. They keep referring to how well the swedes did it when talking about the failure of the project here.

The plot thickens....

FBI source told Fox that the older brother was questioned in 2010 at the request of a foreign govt (Russia?) He then traveled to Moscow in Jan 2012 and came back in July. Speculation is that he made his way to an AQ or other Jihadist teaining camp in/around Chechnya before returning.

Many countries in Europe have switched to TETRA for their police forces which is completely encrypted (and not broken to date AFAIK).

If this had been a AQ mission they would have taken credit. and it would have been a lot better planned with a lot higher body count, they'd also be more willing to die.

had this been a properly organized terror attack they would probably have staged it similar to Breivik over here. The bombs first for panic and carnage, but they won't kill that many, then guns for the body count. Had they used guns after the bombs their body count could easily have been in triple digits.

I don't know what system they're using or going to use here. just that the project group or company doing the project is failing hard, I think they even switched either the company doing it or project leaders because of it, but I don't pay much attention to it.

wikied up on it, and it is TETRA based. originally contracted to Nokia Siemens networks, now taken over by Motorola Solutions since 2012. granted before this each of our services had their own com nets and couldn't talk amongst each other apparently.

Sounds like that one guy, was it the shoe bomber... tried to join AQ and they said he was too crazy, and they wouldn't even let him in.... lol that's pretty bad.. so he went and tried something stupid on his own, now he's in a Supermax in Illinois or Colorado I believe.

Wrong. Richard Reid traveled to Pakistan in 2001, then went overland to A'stan where he and another Brit were given bombs and training by AQ.

Flash: IN CUSTODY!! In smbulance on the way to hospital. Cops cheering.

joining one of the many "AQ" training camps doesn't make you part of AQ. most of the training camps aren't actually AQ either, but just freedom fighter camps with no specific connection or part of other smaller groups whose members later join AQ. As it is anyone can pretty much join these camps if they want and can find them.

Suprised someone like him didnt go out instead of letting them get near. Could you imagine? All those PD around him and if he had bags of explosives and said "**** it"? I think they got lucky.

He was probably losing blood, that could have something to do with it.

    • How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
