If you want to have internet everywhere there is Starlink. Competing against it as hobbyist is a waste of time. But having a small, low-power, lightweight messenger that uses an extremely robust (and thereby slow) mode to send and receive m

> Why did you build in encryption that amateur-radio regulations in many countries don’t allow? Encryption (in terms of hiding messages) is forbidden mostly. But everything else is allowed: hashes, signing, etc. Even the legislators real

At least Deepseek V4 Flash does it very good.

Who invests a few tokens finding the hardcoded check? AFAIR the EEPROM mostly uses the VideoCore instruction set.

That's huge. Ham radio operators are still waiting for a full direct transatlantic QSO (=confirmed both-ways radio contact) on 2m/144MHz. That's like hunting a unicorn with a golden horn - whoever does this first will earn a

If it's functional: that's a breakthrough. But: the PCB itself is not looking beautiful in terms of routing and a lot of schematic details yet. Horrible to to be more honest. But that's a minor issue. I'm not overly shoc

You can use Deepseek from EU-only hosters. DS is openweight.

You can use Asian Opensource models from EU-only hosters. Zero problems - they are around for a while now.

by BlackRabbit1 11d ago
You still can use EU-Hosted Opensources models like from Tensorix.

LLMs are fun until you have to break up a devices that use encrypted firmware files and non-documented interfaces.. that you are back in the past ;-) But for the rest: Yes. They will be eaten alive by the latest generation of LLMs. I use DS

All European car manufacturers pull a crazy amount of telemetry data from your car. Either via permanent 4G/5G link or during service intervals in the shop. Source: I analyzed these data as an intern for one.

Ah good old Tuya. Played around with them a while go. Found out you could do code execution while staying in the bootloader mode.. lol. But wasn't able to extract the keys I wanted.

In terms of signal level? Well.. that amount of bars you can see depending on the real signal level is just a SIM configuration. In the "newer" networks they aren't configured properly yet.

In Germany telcos using 700MHz for 5G a lot (also for LTE in non-5G regions and sometimes with DSS). So they can create a lot of coverage on rural areas or building penetration. Telefonica didn't set their signallevel-to-bars-paramet

Just because your phone shows 5G doesn't mean it's connected to a 5G station. It also can only be a signaled flag from a 4G station.

5G SA isn't still available for the broad masses yet.. and they are talking of 7G? I had the chance to test it in Germany with Telefonica as it can be activated for free. It saves a lot of battery compared to 5G NSA. But they still had

I played around with the LLM-Generated website (see past posts here) of this algorithm and the Gimp method. It actually doesn't improve the readability of the letters carved in stone nor does it show any hidden details on the surroundi

Very Cool! I have a lot of 40MPx RAW pictures from the almost unreadable historic written walls in Delphi, Greece. Let me test this with them.

A few weather forecast sites in Europe have them on their websites. It's just another forecast you can select and compare in an ensemble. Problem is that the WN3 grid is still quite rough (5km) - but a that's a brutal improvement

For hardware/electronics I also recommend looking at the CERN OHL licenses. They cover a very specific niche GPL/AGPL/etc. do not cover properly.

I'd more bet that they are the critical infrastructure pillar everyone is scared to replace in a super important system, lol. Maybe one of it saves the earth rotation control algorithm which the Earth Rotation Service requires for shoo

What kind of frequencies do these falcon trackers use? Any datasheets available? Let us build FalconNogs (like Satnogs) with SDRs!

This is what I'm doing by now. Uploading the entire .pdf dynamically then giving it a pipe to ask questions.

Codex/Claude is much much much too expensive in relation to their limitations. I stick to cheaper latest generation models on Openrouter (or EU-hosted providers when it comes to IP-protected stuff from work).

For reviewing schematic/boards I recently developed something for internal tests: 1. A frontier model (either Opensource or closed source) gets a load of text to review a Kicad project systematically 2. The frontier model can extremely

We tested pretty much all available "AI" board and schematic auto-layouters in the market. All failed even with the most basic tasks. On the other side the latest frontier models are pretty strong in writing embedded C + Assemble

Sounds good! I've been planing around with LLM-based trip planning for a very long time now as it fits my very ad hoc style of traveling very well. But distances always had been.. lets say.. difficult. Will test it with my upcoming tri

Can G3.7 use Google Maps for distance grounding?

Not directly related to your embedded Go bug, but maybe helpful: What really sky-rocketed my debugging skills in embedded devices was learning to utilize the Python plugin interface of 'gdb'.
