Distribution

The distribution of this species is Alpine.[2] It occurs in the following countries:

gollark: There are a few other uses, like the THOR orbital laser system.
gollark: Remotely debugging potatOS computers, yes.
gollark: Well, SPUDNET effectively emulates lazily some sort of complex asymmetric crypto scheme where admin messages are cryptographically signed.
gollark: You could probably have some sort of thing where heavdrones *initially* connect as unprivileged, and only get a comms mode key after they are remotely inspected somehow, but like all DRM-y schemes it is flawed against anyone actually paying attention.
gollark: They heavdrone.
