   I guess good time to point out XPrivacyLua[0], a privacy/permissions manager which should be default in Android imo (without having to root/install Xposed etc). But for the power users out there, worth it. [0]: https://

   For fun I guess, been around since the beginning of Wi-Fi access points. I guess a similar kind of fun to geocaching, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardriving

   Could you expand on why it's less than ideal? I'm considering moving, so far it looks good.

   Or alternatively a HackRF clone ($100 from Alibaba etc), ADALM-PLUTO etc if you want an SDR that can cover a few GHz instead - these are great fun, even a $10 RTL-SDR is amazing (tops out at 1.5GHz though).

   For the power-users out there there is a solution, install Xposed[0] on your device (root and custom recovery required of course) and then XPrivacyLua[1] which provides fine controls allowing you to hide identifiers (ad IDs etc), tracking,

   Wow that title was hard to parse - two sentences as in the article would be much clearer - or maybe just reword it. Article: These California beaches have long been off-limits. But public outrage is changing the tide edit: it's been fi

    Just a tip for anyone passing by, [Deepl]( https://www.deepl.com/translator ) is miles ahead of Google Translate in terms of accurate/natural translations.

    Expected something a bit more than a basic MAC change. But I guess simple things work best sometimes - I used to do this on Wi-Fi trains that had a 20MB limit.

    > estimated that lost and abandoned crab pots take in 1.25 million blue crabs each year I can't even catch a single crab doing that on purpose. I think I'm doing it wrong.

    Clickbait title and actually references 'Dead Coins' website which is completely unreliable - not to mention the fact that I could 'create' a new token worth zero in about 5 minutes.

    I'm by no means an expert - just a hobbyist tinkering with some RF magic, but I made a simple POC of using SDR to reverse engineer and perform jam and replay attacks on cars - essentially giving you permanent access (for cars with butt

    I'd pay $10 extra just for the Gigabit functionality. 100Mbps is unacceptable for any sort of media/file server applications and 230Mbps is only 1/4 of my Internet connection.

    Going to the /export/pdf link shows access denied. My quick 3min workaround was to use FF dev tools, settings enable screenshot, click through and save each page.

    Give up privacy? I thought it was with Android that I could root and remove all proprietary services (using e.g. F-Droid, LineageOS). Plus, you can set the window/transition animation scale to anything you want. The only thing iOS had

    Knew about AIS but not this level of information, SDR has more and more interesting uses every day.

    SDR and RF in general has always felt like black magic for me, but the availability of cheap hardware and wife software selection makes this accessible to everyone. For newcomers I recommend the RTL-SDR subreddit, plenty of great resources.
