As I understood it, these individuals had at most mentioned receiving piracy warning letters from an ISP; they hadn't posted anything illegal per se on Reddit.

Flight simmers like using physical button boxes instead. It takes around two weeks to get used to the button locations even when they don't match the virtual cockpit. A good old mouse works just as well and its microswitches give a nic

Is that the same optical mouse you could find in Xerox-Olivetti 8088 PCs? What the pictures do not show is the raster pattern mouse pad it required. Basically same tech as in ordinary mice but the optical encoders looked directly at the sur

Sadly srsRAN does not seem to implement TDMA. Ham radio operators have a slice at 2.3 GHz which overlaps Band 40, supported by a good number of phones.

We might have a different view on what "brevity" means, then. The ITU/NATO alphabet you mentioned is a prime example of brevity. Other examples include those used by air traffic control and fighter pilots.

Sadly our sourcing department might have some other hidden requirements in addition to those listed above. At a quick glance, the unit prices are still at least some 100 eurobucks higher than Pascal's :-) In any case, due to COVID-indu

The ALIX/APU platform is sadly the only one on the market that: - has at least three network interfaces - is a relatively straightforward x86 system you can just slap a mainstream Linux distro on - is small enough to be integrated into

Clarity stems from brevity i.e. concise, carefully chosen words that leave no room for ambiguity.

A 6 GHz radio is pretty much equivalent to a 5-point-something GHz one. As a counterexample, 2.4 GHz is completely unusable in our penthouse office. I'd rather deal with limited cell size than continuous interference issues.

In my experience, "overcomplicated" may mean anything between "it requires novel research to come up with a solution" and "I googled for five minutes and didn't find a paid service that does it".

Not just closed source but a completely black box, like the ROS and Pactor 4 digimodes. (To be fair, the latter is a commercial product so the blame is on ham radio operators, not the company who designed it.)

You're not completely honest here, though. It was either Type A jack for power supplies without a cable, or Type B micro jack for fixed cables, and the latter very much specifies the port on the device.
