Mach 5 feelings. If this drone is not activated via a button with the letter G on the steering wheel, it will be a huge waste of time.

How much would that trip cost? And how much extra pollution over a standard jet?

Not sure about this tech, but IIRC SCRAMJET were supposed to be more efficient over long distances than regular jets.

Hackers remotely start, unlock Honda Civics with $300 tech

Their research suggests that Honda Civic LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, Si, and Type R vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2020 all have this vulnerability.

According to the team, “various Honda vehicles send the same, unencrypted RF signal for each door-open, door-close, boot-open and remote start. This allows for an attacker to eavesdrop on the request and conduct a replay attack.” The GitHub page created for the vulnerability hosts three separate proof-of-concept videos showcasing their results. Essentially, you wait nearby for the owner to wirelessly open or start their vehicle, record that signal over the air, and later you transmit that data again to perform the same action for yourself.

To both questions: Satisfy a NYC billionaire’s hankering for gotta-have-it-in-an-hour genuine bouillabaisse in Marseilles.
