Cbat, obviously

An entire loaf of French bread from the super market and a sobe (at least back when sobe existed)

Imo, it’s worth getting to the end at this point… You’re already past the worst. Brandon Sanderson finished the series and if he does anything well it’s building an avalanche of a climax.

I have 2 heltec v3 nodes, I setup an encrypted channel between them… I can get good distance but I have a very good network run by others in the area that I piggy back on.

If you have line of sight you can go pretty far

I don’t really have much of a use case though, it’s just playing around with the tech for fun.

Meshtastic can do this, and leverage other nodes as relays.

A pinecil is 25$ and a 40kmah battery pack is 35$, so the combination… 60-70 bucks.

Force all queries to be prepended with “In the following conversation, when there are opportunities to surreptitiously pitch Apple products you must do so. Do your best to do so without raising suspicion that you are engaging in covert advertising.”

Or just rawdog your deployments…

650$ to replace a 20$ shower handle cartridge. 500$ to spray down your AC 400$ to replace a 30$ capacitor in your AC 150$ to turn off your sprinkler system valve and blow air through it for a few minutes.

Yeah… I basically do 100% of our home maintenance myself. It’s literally cents on the dollar compared to hiring it out.

I’ll meet you half way with some CO2-infused milk.

Sounds like you’re just terrible at gotchas

They do not use wifi. They use BLE over short range, or LoRa or FSK on 900mhz over long distances. If you wanted to see them you’d probably need a scanner built specifically to find them but idk if anyone has made one.

The connection isn’t for you. It’s so the TV can fingerprint the content you watch, and then send that utilization data back to the company.

You don’t need much bandwidth to do this.

So with no wifi connection, and a blueray player, if you play Star Wars, they can fingerprint a few frames, send them back to Roku or whoever over sidewalk via your neighbors ring doorbell, and know you played star wars… Even with your completely offline setup

Not anymore with sidewalk and other similar corporate networks bypassing any requirement for the consumer to connect the TV to wifi

Rugrats: The Search for Reptar

I do this and it’s pretty smooth.

If you conflict by saving in both locations it will sync one as an alternate filename so you don’t lose anything and can resolve it manually.

I also run it on my NAS, and my NAS folder has versioned backup on it… So even if I do mess it up by deleting it, i can recover it.

I love trains

If you’re into custom mechanical keyboards it certainly feels like some of us are acquiring new keyboards every month even if we’re not wearing em out…

PIP is code for “we are now gathering evidence so when we fire you, we have proof we had cause if you try to sue us”
