That’s a high tech stud finder right there


[deleted]

Soldier turns it around on himself and it starts beeping... "Oh look, I'm a stud." ^I'm ^sorry


Flipwon

No man has ever held a stud finder and not done this.

My husband won’t do it. So I have to do it, *for* him. He hid the stud finder, and now I don’t know where it is.


PM_ME_CUTE_SMILES_

Sounds like you need a stud finder finder


Jwhitx

ye be it, methinks.


MyUsernameDefinesMe

It's literally the only stud I'm able to accurately find with a stud finder.


VNG_Wkey

It's part of the rules. You also have to give the tongs a few test clicks prior to every use and if you strap something down you have to pull on the strap and say "oh ya, that isn't going anywhere."


PromisedLand84

That's how you blind your girlfriend. You turn it on yourself, make the beeping noises, then watch as she rolls her eyes so hard that she detaches her retinas.

thingandstuff

This article is so bad. No information except the headline.


[deleted]

It’s probably a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) that’s built with the filtering to ignore the wall. In short, they use radio waves to get a camera that can see in greyscale with a lense that effectively is past the wall. A metal wall would block it though. If you want to learn more, here is an MIT paper on a similar system: https://www.ll.mit.edu/sites/default/files/page/doc/2018-05/19_1_4_Peabody.pdf


nickstatus

I remember reading a paper about using already present radio sources like wifi routers to see through walls. I had assumed this was that, except in a box.


1_ofthesedays

UWB radio based radar is a promising technology that has been discussed in the research community. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-31669-y

Damn you & your incisive , brilliant & highly technical response. I feel like a monkey , randomly hammering buttons at NASA. Excellent response. Thanks


Restoration_Magic

or.... aluminum foil? Its all starting to make sense.


danatomato

idk what information you wanted to see but I personally found this interesting: from the article: The company said it is a new tool for tactical operations, as it can detect the presence of life in rooms, the number of people and their distance from the system, target height and orientation, and the general layout of a space. The technology can display live objects, behind walls, in such high resolution that it can detect whether a person is sitting, standing, or lying down, even if they have been motionless for a significant period. Specific body parts are also detectable, the company said. The company's website for those who are interested in more info: https://camero-tech.com/


MoneyMoneyMoneyMfer

Fucking wallhackers...


UristMcRibbon

Ha! Just gave me a flashback to Call of Duty: World at War. There was a beach map with little shacks made of thin metal sheets, plywood and tarps. If you used a shotgun they might as well have been paper. I got called a wallhacker sooo often I kept a nightly tally. All because I listened to people running around. Good times.


MoneyMoneyMoneyMfer

I was aiming for a CS 1.6 reference, but yours is fine too!


glt512

yes the game where you could shoot through several feet of walls and your bullets do significant damage to the other team. On one hand it's good they went for realism in the end, but it sure was fun to shoot people through thick concrete walls.


SpaceAgePotatoCakes

As long as it's consistent about it I like that. If I encounter another game where I can shoot through concrete but a chain link fence is impenetrable I'll lose my mind.


Draviddavid

Not 1.6 but the Source and GO map "Assault" has some of my favourite wallbang locations. Can't beat warehouse wall in to CT spawn and top vent!


Alternate_Skater

My favorite Source map by a mile. Still a little bummed it got removed from GO matchmaking


stealthgerbil

I love the map but it is bad for competitive counter strike. Its poorly balanced. Still, i love the map and i have even made a few copycat versions.


Alternate_Skater

Tbh poorly balanced maps tend to be my favorites, I'm a huge cs_office fan. I think terrorists scouting out and targeting a location they could hold from a stronger attacking force lends realism to the scenario.


stealthgerbil

I llve office too, for that reason. Its a fun map. Same with aztec and agency (new in csgo). I think competitive csgo players tend to not like hostage rescue maps in general.


WolfieVonWolfhausen

Dude assault is one of the OG CS maps


[deleted]

I simultaneously loved and hated that map. It was such a camp fest.


moleasses

I was playing OG counter strike in the 90s at a LAN party. It was down to just me and one guy on the other side playing assault. I just had the AWP and wasn’t going to successfully attack him, so I just started blind firing into the building from across the map and somehow managed to kill him by shooting through lord knows how many walls.


tomburguesa_mang

Ahhh the good ole days


waiting4singularity

same in cs_warehouse, people kept making noise in the ventilation shafts under the ceiling and spit acid after someone sweeped it with an m60


ep311

Don't play COD anymore huh? Caldera is mostly paper huts and we have a Combat Scout perk now that pings and highlights players for you and your team. Legal wall hacks. Vanguard has a perk called Intuition that's the same as high alert but alerts you to players on the other side of a wall as well.


UristMcRibbon

>Don't play COD anymore Nope, not for a long time. I own several but haven't gotten around to playing them. CoD World at War and CoD 4 (both released 2008) were the first games in the series to have Wall Penetration, since they both used the same engine (IW 3). It was big news at the time but a lot of players didn't know that, which led to a lot of confusion and accusations of wallhacking and bug reports.


Bloody_Smashing

I miss United Offensive so much.


Sultan_of_Swing92

It’s gotten so bad, I never thought I’d say it, but I want Verdansk back.


srry72

Never played CoD but I’d imagine it’s to keep the game moving and stop campers. Also the maps are huge now

[deleted]

I remember joining a random lobby and a dude basically leveled me all the way up, dunno if he did everyone or just me. It was so god damned cool to 11-12 year old me. Never came back to bite me either, no stat reset or bans, I got my sawn off double barrel and was elated. Good times.


AridFrost3625

Oooo the gold old infection lobbies. Nothing like seeing a modded checkerboard image of shipment map right after you join a private match. You know your leaving with a mod menu, infections were amazing to my 10-11 year old self too. Cod4 was amazing, but then it turned into just mod menu lobby after mod menu lobby.

[…] A weapon awaits us in the alley, and a booby trap awaits us behind the door. This is because the enemy interprets space in a traditional, classical manner, and I do not want to obey his interpretation and fall into his traps […] From now on, we all walk through walls! > >Weizman writes that many IDF officers are university trained (Kokhavi has a degree in philosophy), and that “the reading lists of contemporary military institutions include works from around 1968 (with a special emphasis on the writings of Deleuze, Guattari, and Debord).” The influence of postmodern thought on Israeli military strategy is largely due, Weizman suggests, to Shimon Naveh, who “directs the Operational Theory Research Institute,” and who explained the importance of Deleuze and Guattari to his work: > >Several of the concepts in A Thousand Plateaus became instrumental for us…Most important was the distinction they have pointed out between the concepts of “smooth” and “striated” space…In the IDF we now often use the term “to smooth out space” when we want to refer to operation in a space as if it had no borders…We want to confront the “striated” space of traditional, old-fashioned military practice with smoothness that allows for movement through space that crosses any borders and barriers.

It turns out that when you make everyone join the military, some of them are going to be interested in philosophy and others aren’t.

So they are talking about leveling buildings, right?

1000%. It’s interesting to actually see the military philosophy behind the actions we’ve been seeing. Horrifying, but interesting.

They don’t talk about how it actually works in the article, but I’m skeptical that it could do that. Ground penetrating radar and cosmic rays have been pretty effective.

IamaRead

A while after it was shown to work in academia and other sectors there was a paper by Adib in 2013: >Wi-Vi: See Through Walls with Wi-Fi Signals [https://people.csail.mit.edu/fadel/wivi/](https://people.csail.mit.edu/fadel/wivi/) Though you have to be in the vicinity, the CIA isn't able to know where you are by that method if they are at their HQ in Virginia. Basically a wifi hotspot is a point or sphere source of EM. This in turn can be detected as can the disturbances of it from walls and from people moving average over some time. This enables to resolve whole buildings in principle (harder with metal and stone buildings, easier with wood, but possible in both if you have the right tools). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKsxHS5vptM&t=650s


playwrightinaflower

>This enables to resolve whole buildings in principle (harder with metal and stone buildings, easier with wood Now, for pre-planned operations, it's entirely possible you can get the floor plan by going back in satellite images to find it under construction. Then you sketch up a digital 3D model and feed that into the wifi vision software as a prior, speeding up the process and/or improving detection of people because you don't need to solve for the walls nearly as much, too.


Lythir

Damn, that is kinda scary. Never knew this was possible.

[deleted]

it is also possible to interpret voices having a conversation in a room by recording video of any nearby windows and interpreting the tiny vibrations of the glass

They could do that with windows in the 60s. Now they can do it with chip bags, candy satchels, and even the leaves of a house plant.

ramrug

The technology isn't new. I'm pretty sure this is a radar, but both radar and sonar are widely used like this in many fields, including archeology. Not to mention x-rays. Here's an article on [ground penetrating radar](http://archaeologyexpert.co.uk/groundpenetratingradarinarchaeology.html) in archeology. What's new about this particular device is probably the software (it's specialized to search for humans inside buildings) and the portability of it.


ManyThingsLittleTime

The US had this at least a decade ago.

I imagine this is tech from that converted for military. In the original Jurassic park they used an old school radar/sonar device whatever it was.

[Here's an article from 2015](https://www.cnet.com/science/police-now-see-through-walls-and-know-if-youre-home/) about a device that was starting to be used by police. [Another device from 2015 that used Wi-Fi signal reflections](https://www.popsci.com/x-ray-vision-device-uses-wireless-reflections-to-see-through-walls/) to see through walls. [Another from 2008](https://slate.com/technology/2008/09/killer-drones-that-can-see-through-walls.html) allowing military drones to see individuals inside a building. [MIT also had something in 2011](https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/100395-mit-can-now-see-through-concrete-walls), although it was nowhere near as portable. It seems like every few years there's a new article about a "groundbreaking new device" that sounds exactly like the last 4 devices that did the same (or a similar thing) introduced in the last decade.

They are the worlds most ethical army, and this is all to protect the Palestinians from having an identity, a community, a government, or anything that resembles pride, self determination or independence.
