In Geneva even some mobile ACs, such as mobile split units, are banned without a permit https://www.ge.ch/rafraichir-climatiser-batiment/installatio.... The only ones which are allowed are monoblock mobile ACs. Which is ridiculous given that they are the least efficient and consume way more energy than split mobile units or fixed ACs.

It's something important to me as I do mountain sports and in some locations there is no network signal.

I know that in the US Verizon and Tmobile customers have access to satellite connectivity and it's possible to get this feature working on a GrapheneOS phone if you are one of their customers, but I am in Europe and European providers don't provide satellite connectivity.

To me it looks like that this type of attack isn't inherent to LLM-based applications.
