You need messages from multiple receivers for MLAT, I think they use messages with known plane positions to calibrate the MLAT solver since the receivers doesn't have a high quality common time source. Plus proximity doesn't mean

Does anyone have a recommendation for an article or similar about implementing state machines? I've only used the simple "switch on an enum" variant (switch(stateVar) case STATE1: doWork(); stateVar = STATE2; break;). I think

Can you netboot from a desktop computer that's not always on? If the desktop is running when the pi is booting, does the pi then need the "server" (desktop pc) again until it needs to reboot?

They're called 5G non-terrestrial networks (5G NTN) which sounds like science fiction. Ericsson, Thales, and Qualcomm work together, but they don't have any concrete plans to launch any satellites. https://www.ericsson.

The human eye can perceive 21 stops dynamic range, much better than regular cameras. Event cameras might solve that issue, but they're not used other than in research at the moment.

Why are you still burning fossil fuel to heat houses? If you had stable electricity you could use heat pumps instead. Seems like fossil gas has been too cheap for too long, which have incentivized dependency on it despite the CO2 external c
