Really cool tech and simple tech, tldr, it uses acustics to detect even light touches in the cable; basically it turns cables into guitar strings.

As for sabotage, I don’t know, you could infer what boat caused it maybe? Like the Russian sabotage at the beginning of the war with Ukraine? Doesn’t seem to be much data other than, hey something is touching the cable.

There is fucking light going through it. For fiber you know the second somebody breaks it. You can even see the timing of fibers breaking in sequence. This does not change the fact the cable is broken and needs repair.

As for others splicing into it: same shit. You always know exactly the distance to the next point of contact, so you also got that.

Wtf is this shit other than trying to sell something to the news?

IDC I’m still going to sabotage it.

Sabotage by the Deepsea Boys?

I wonder if they can do much with the information other than go “yup cable was fiddled with somewhere on the length of the ocean floor”.
