What products are most at risk. What are easiest to replace to reduce risk? Hardest to replace?
Internet, GPS, Electricity. Consider getting FRS, or go full-route and get your HAM license and a handheld. Consider LoRa-based Meshtastic devices (Lilygo T-Deck) - good for text communications, am unsure if they are dependent on GPS for their mesh capabilities though.
Sat up last night thinking about Mesh comms for the average Canadian who aren’t likely going to be running out to buy new products. As a back-up, I have Briar for groups and Bluetooth chat for 1-on-1, but wondering if there are any recommendations you or others may have that are 1) better and 2) a Canadian solution?
GPS. The system can be turned off in specific regions (no idea how, it’s classified, but they’ve actually done it so it’s not just a wild notion), and portions of the signal are already encrypted such that they’re only available to the US military. There would be little stopping them from sending altered signals or just turning it off.
Many missile systems, aircraft and fighting vehicles rely on GPS to function as expected.
Our infrastructure. All our core network switches which are all American companies. Could you imagine if they did this the response around the world.
