And set up readonly rootfs. Or use a Banana Pi with onboard NAND to store rootfs. Or do both, just to be sure.

“The best self-driving car sensors use IR, and apple’s already using IR on face-ID.” Comparing structured light Kinect with time of flight lidar is apples to oranges.

Modern radios’ high power efficiencies are achieved through multiple means; adaptive signal strength and low duty cycles are some of those. Both antennas being small and low on the ground means much lower RSSI, which causes higher adaptive
