   I hold an Extra Class license... the old 20 wpm kind. The cool thing is, I got my extra back when I was 19 years old and it set me up for a great tech career since I understood RF. Not going to dox myself here putting my callsign in a post

    This. I seldom leave the house with an iPhone, and my Apple Watch with cellular is my primary "mobile" device. I want to leave the Apple ecosystem as my devices age out, and the one thing I would love to have is an NFC ring or b

    As a fun weekend project in 2013, I stood up a weather station using Weewx and my RPI 2 with 1 GB RAM. I told myself if it ever crashes or the SD card gets corrupted, I'll just tear everything down. Well, it's still running today

    I usually ask if they poop with the door closed. We all know what you are doing in there, and we do the same thing. No need to hide. Or, why do you get your mail in an envelope? I can see that it is your financial statements. Why do you

    Yeah, if you use the mobile app, your GPS icon lights up until you get there. Crazy invasive. Guess they want to see how far you drive and what route you get to get there. It's best to get your order code, leave your phone at home and
