5G is a Chinese hoax.

More like a Chinese threat.  Same with the general concept of the Internet of Things or IoT.  Turning a city into a weapon is pretty easy if everything is networked.  Makes it that much easier if everyone's mobile phones have Chinese spyware (literally spyware) pre-installed.  Combine that with the proliferation of Russian rootkits on servers.  Pretty easy to cyber-attack the United States as a prelude to war or as leverage if the stable genius continues doing things he knows more about than anyone else. 

Not to derail the topic or anything.   8)

Agreed, massive botnets in our future because someone thinks having a networked fridge, dishwasher, or toaster is a good (or profitable) idea.

More profitable than good I think.  I’ll stick to having the “air gap” between my appliances (aside from mains AC power, of course...but that’s another can of worms). 

The Russians have shown their extensive capability to hijack cellular networks and use that capability during wartime...see: Ukraine, etc. 

All the more reason to maintain HF and VHF/UHF comms capability and networks that are not part of a massive Chinese botnet.

Are government shutdowns a potential haven for pirate radio stations?
