It’s an article about wires… ON WIRED?!?
Please downvote me, I’m sorry
Please conduct yourself.
Why would we PUNish you?
I wish they wouldn’t shine light on it
Wait until Buzzfeed writes about it
Fibre optics can be used to measure a remarkable number of properties.
The electrical transmission industry makes significant use of fibreoptic current sensors, and distributed fibreoptic temperature sensors.
The latter is particularly useful as you can measure the temperature at any point along the fibre’s length, allowing you to detect hot-spots in cables.
Cicadas are pretty loud; I’m sure you can pick up much quieter things with a fibreoptic microphone.
the cicadas around here were so loud and dense this year, they chased the birds away… i had a huge population of song birds all spring and summer in my garden… then the cicadas spawned and took over the trees and all the airwaves… the birds just fucked off to i don’t know where, and i’m sure it’s just because they couldn’t hear themselves over the immense buzzing…
I would’ve assumed them to view it as an open air buffet. Interesting that they would rather flee
This leaves cicadas susceptible to a very effective side channel attack
