You'll be banned again - using a "residential IP" to appear domestic is a primary method used for accessing compromised accounts. We dissuade use of "privacy VPN" services for all users, as some of those services use the host as an exit node for unknown VPN traffic.

Do you work for them?

This remark is overly condescending.

At some point during the hacky patching process, the wifi driver for older devices went away with a MacOS upgrade, and the patcher has to install it.

Passes the turing test.

Which states are these where it is illegal to perform unlicensed work on an access control system?

To add on... No ability to firewall their iOS devices leaves use of the network vulnerable. Siri and other unkillable daemons always running. My favorite is when the cpu fan "stopped working" on an old A1278 after an update. Turns out that was just a change in the fan profile so the machine would cook first before the fan would wheeze out a puff of effort.

That's why I choose the unscented foot spread Cornaway so that my crocs don't chafe against my ankles when on long flights.

Always the best way - radio off and inside a faraday pouch

Not viable for a non-superpower to create and deploy a successful hostile drone, and imagination is cheaper than reality anyway.

Aside from the hostile drone command and launch being found and destroyed, the drone itself would either be shot down by a missile or disabled by a direct energy weapon.

If the drone were to fault on it's own and was designed to float, it will be expensive to retreive it. Cheaper at scale to launch the sensors into orbit or deploy bouys.
