one of many reasons why ancient roman republics aren't repeated is that the emperor tends to be a huge asshole whose fatal shanking benefits everyone within knife reach

This is the Quadro Tracker, a machine that was sold to cops and the military as a bomb/drug/contraband detector that worked by taking a picture of the thing you wanted it to find, inserting that picture into a slot, and then waving a divining rod around
![The FBI commissioned the FBI Laboratory's technicians and Sandia National Laboratories to examine the device. They found that the Quadro Tracker contained no electronics whatsoever. It was merely an empty plastic box in which the only metal parts were a couple of wires and the antenna, which were not connected to each other. The antenna was merely a transistor radio aerial.[4] Attorneys for Quadro Corp. later contended that the inductors and oscillators supposed to be inside the device "aren't the type usually thought of by electronics experts".[6] The "locator chip" was shown to be equally fake; one example put on display by the FBI contained dead ants that had been frozen and stuck onto paper with epoxy glue.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wfy4l5sl22lgb2lakf6kwqvw/bafkreifppvwls7shwcthyiri7vnzj2ljarq3ug7mf4snpp3iflw3qcctne@jpeg)

it is profoundly annoying to see so much kneejerk deference to the wealthier party here, often with relish. and I really think something has curdled in people who take an opportunity like this to make it known they believe, fervently, that authority is its own justification.
