Back in ye olden days, HF was really high! What we'd consider today to be near useless due to limited bandwidth and insane antenna requirements were once the primary frequencies for communications.

There is no privacy in amateur radio. That is not a matter of preference, it is a regulatory and physical reality. Amateur radio transmissions are public, unencrypted, and attributable. Callsigns are required, modes and frequencies are well

What do you think amateur radio does? Why do you think that broadcasting your location, and that you're looking to get information from somewhere other than the approved sources will end up in anything other than tragedy? What informat

This is not about disliking “different opinions” or refusing to hear opposing views. It is about a documented pattern of statements in which Adams moved from commentary into explicit endorsement of collective punishment, racialized generali

LIDAR systems use timing, phase locking, and software filtering to identify and eliminate interference from other units. There is still risk of interference, resulting in reduced range, noise, etc.

There are many things named flux. It’s not a big deal for one more, but maybe a more unique, descriptive name would differentiate.

I have a Roku tv. I never plugged it in or gave it internet access. It works fine.

I've been meaning to put an FPV drone camera on one of my RC cars! It's very, very simple to do nowadays and requires none of the know-how you needed back in the day.

This sounds a lot like gptars. I want a little gptars tearing around my house. https://youtube.com/shorts/e2t0RxX4b54

This violates Hacker News guidelines. HN explicitly asks users to be respectful and avoid personal attacks or insults. Responding with “You can’t read?” is a direct insult, adds no substantive discussion, and detracts from the conversation.

I’ll never use Tor because I have no idea what the Tor client is actually doing. Is it enabling someone to use my network connection for cybercrime without my knowledge? No thanks.

Most of the people I work with use Macs and never talk about the UI being good or bad. And boy, do we talk about insignificant crap that pisses us off. They just don’t care about menu icon alignment or whether the design follows 1992 guidel

I like seeing the icons. It helps me pick the right thing without reading. Seems easier for me.

I struggle with tracking the actual cost of my energy usage between changing electric rates, the various solar costs, SRECs, different loans and credits and incentives to be able to make an intelligent decision on what the benefit or cost i

So glad to see my people. I have a hobby where instead of a modern synthetic ball, I play soccer with a severed goat head. There is something positively transcendent about the resonating thunk of a kick that you just don’t get with a standa

The key difference isn’t whether abuse happens, it’s what happens after. In Mississippi, if a local official, police department, or state agency harms you, that action can be challenged outside the state that committed it. Federal courts ca

On the one hand yes, on the other hand I would hope that if I was a bazillionaire that I would still keep the comforting habits that worked for me when I was a normie.

That isn’t the gotcha you think it is. Saying “China is safer than Mississippi” depends entirely on defining safety as low visible street crime and ignoring state power. China is safer only for people who are compliant, apolitical, unorgani

You don’t compare a US region to sovereign countries that don’t share federal transfers, monetary policy, or capital markets. The correct comparison might be the South vs other US regions. In that comparison the South has persistently lower

I would tend to agree with that. I can even see in my own kids changes in behavior when external factors affect my own ability to be attentive to my kids.
