There’s a reason why home battery storage systems needs to be connected to the breaker panel. You route power through it. When the batteries aren’t needed then it’s just a dumb relay for grid power. When you’re drawing power from batteries it disconnects the grid.

Only a few industries ever draw power both from grid and local power sources at once (during peak load) and they route all the power sources through a power distribution system which prevents backfeeding.

No it’s needs plumbing

Common to see big businesses with multiple locations using P2P VPN binding together all sites like one big LAN. Perhaps not ideal from a security standpoint to have the client network so flat, but eh 🤷

Usually a handful of extra important servers are behind an extra layer of firewall rules and/or on a different VLAN with limits on what devices can connect to them.

Unless your device has exposed vulnerabilities over the local network

Always do transparent tunneling with selective MITM, lol

(not gonna help script kiddies any more than this either, lol)

Also if you bring one onto a real network to pwn it you’re probably deliberately not replacing it’s DHCP server so you don’t break static IP assignments (but you might fake the routes so traffic goes through you anyway with ARP spoofing, etc)

[x] Client isolation on

This is now a safe zone

No passive scanning in the background though

Advertised WiFi MAC is randomized per AP by most devices these days, and Bluetooth also have equivalent privacy protocols. So unless you can get the device to connect to you then you won’t see a static identifier that can be followed

Also, you can use a telephoto lens, like from that little bush you can see in the center if you zoom in (not that anybody sensible would bother)

I see what you did there

Because the problem is explicitly about the choice between two doors. You have to eliminate all but two choices.

But even then, you’d still have a better chance by switching.

Your intuition about the change is the whole point - it exposes why the result is what it is.

A pole will need to exit at the speed of the moving portal when it’s pushing against a wall. And all other objects are essentially equivalent, a pole just make it more obvious.

What happens to a pole?

If the portal approach you as you hold it then the other end needs to be moving in it’s local space outside the second portal. That means it is given momentum which must come from the portal, likely taken from the momentum of the first portal which is moving. Also, the far end of the pole will likely experience a degree of inertia and push on the end you’re holding (at an equivalent of half the speed of the portal).
