Actually, they did make a VW Bug that had excellent heat in the winter. It had a gas burner under the rear seat and it would blow hot air almost right away. It was hell on your fuel economy, and didn't smell so good either. But, up here in Canada during the winters we used to have, it was a wonderful option.

There are several useful applications where IoT can come in handy. Most of what is being suggested however is unneeded, unwanted or flat out scary.......self driving cars linked together over the cell network is the biggie......hundreds of cars zooming down the interstate on autopilot relying on their cell signals, and the network hiccups.....worse than a loose semi truck in an ice storm.
A high school friend had a 1959 VW bug. The heat came from a shroud around the cylinder head. An oil leak made using the heater a rather stinky ride.....but still better than a leaky head gasket. Fortunately we lived in Miami Florida where you might need heat one or two days a year.........having the battery spark up the rear seat where I was sitting......that will heat your backside in a hurry.
No, my '77 Suzy 550 4 cylinder was 4 stroke. As I recall, there was a 550 3 cylinder 2 stroke, I suspect that is the one you are thinking of?

Billions, Trillions ... all the same.
If you think that billions are the same as trillions, then what does that say about your assessment of risk??

I had one of those. During college, in Buffalo NY. I got really, really drunk at a party one winter, made my way to the VW and switched on the under the bonnet gas heater, then proceeded to pass out. I woke several hours later, warm as toast, then drove back to my apartment.
The next time I turned it on the whole car immediately filled with the most obnoxious fumes. I pulled over immediately, opened the bonnet. There was a flexible hose that carried the exhaust fumes outside, exiting into the left wheel well. It had disintegrated and was now exhausting directly under the bonnet - and into the car. I could have just never woke up previously. One of those "but why was there only one set of footprints" kind of things.
These days, maybe my 5G personal carbon monoxide monitor (paid subscription service) could have alerted someone and provided GPS coordinates and driving instructions to come save me!
My best friend in high school had one of those Suzuki 500 two strokes, I swear it was a twin. For some reason I could do the longest burn out patch with that thing - I recall another friend wrecking on his Honda 750 in attempt to beat the length I put down with it. I dont know what it was about that bike, but it seemed I could spin the rear tire on pavement indefinitely.

More fuel for the fire...
Nothing about RF, more about the real issue. We now have nearly two generations of humans who have never experiences life WITHOUT a little plastic device of some sort. What kind of world wide withdrawal will occur when the networks go dark? \
North America will lead the world in 5G adoption by 2025
I see constant advertising on TV from the major US phone networks touting their "5G" devices. Few, if any can actually use the millimeter wave technology, which only exists in a few select markets. Oddly T-Mobile who now owns a large chunk of un-tapped 600 MHz TV spectrum is poised for the largest capacity upgrade in the near term.

Now this is solid post.
Most of us heard about the sailor with the Candy bar. But that Calisim thing I am going to have to look up.
Thank you!

Please use Bitchute for uploaders. Is there a second link that can be posted for the second video? It does not even give the title of the video.
THank you Rowland!
Now this sounds like something I have done in the past with lower grade hardware.
Thank you for sharing this! Love it when the Engineers come out and play!
I was all into the TIn foil hat thing. Then I did some real tests as well. After that? I slept pretty well.
I just turned off why COmcast modem wifi, and use my own setup. THat Xfinity radio is WAY to loud in my room. And it barely works right as it is.
Again thank you for the data and post. Really cool!
I did not know that. I know the newer cars have all sorts of stuff and heard about and know all about Onstar. But this? I did not know.
Something to look up later and see how I can hack it.
Wonder if those sim cards can be used for data? Hmm.
I remember as a kid one of the local hoons buying one of those (around 1975) and showing off down the main street of town - a small country town of a few hundred residents.
At night, he accelerated like a rocket away from us and a couple of the exhaust baffles came out of the exhaust and caused sparks as they slid along the tarmac while he disappeared into the distance. Obviously the scream turned into a bellow. We thought this thing was the fastest bike ever especially with the enhanced effects!
As an adult I realised they must've been left unsecured, but back then we thought it was just the sheer acceleration.

Early on in the cold war period a radar system called Distant Early Warning radar was deployed. It became known as the DEW line since there was a line of them to "watch" for missile launches from the Soviet Union.
The largest segment of the line stretched out from Alaska across northern Canada along the artic circle, and into Greenland. It began operations in the 1950's and ran continuously into the 1990's or later. It cranked out 100 KW pulses with averaged power levels in the 500+ watt range. The frequency was somewhere in the 1 to 2 GHz range (don't remember). These are frequencies similar to today's cell phones, with MUCH bigger power levels.
It was often manned by GI's who were stationed in some really cold places for months at a time. It became common practice to stand in front of the transmitting antenna to keep warm. A candy bar was often used as a warning sensor....time to move on.
Many of these GI's were followed medically for their remaining lives since they has VA health insurance. A study of these people's medical records was performed somewhere in the late 90's or early 2000's. I had a copy of it since I was a cell phone design engineer at the time.
The only medical issue among these people that was a statistically significant outlier was cataracts. Did being nuked with microwaves cause the cataracts? Did the fact that no other issues were found make playing with high level RF safe?
One study can not determine either of these. Nor can several uncontrolled studies. The best course of action is to limit your exposure to known malicious situations, and respect those that are unknown, but suspicious.
I would worry much more about daily consumption of food from McD, than a cell phone......but my phone bill shows less than 50 minutes per month.
That was the surprise big hitter in my house. I have relocated it to be as far as possible from the usual human hangouts in the house. It still puts more RF into the house than everything else combined, and is stronger than all of the cell signals that I can find anywhere in town.
