Most features here let Google scan and evaluate what you do on the web, messages, and apps.

They say it helps security, but of course it assures those features are on letting them suck in more data about the person.

A company like Google doesn't do something out of the kindness of their hearts, they do it for profit

So if you are in trouble or held against your will and you say you'll order pizza but sneK a call to 911 for help instead and pretend to order and give your address for delivery hoping an operator catches on.... Doubt the AI will catch on.

I've lost 2 due to the businesses closing both times.

Refused unemployment insurance because my state requires you to register with a 3rd party id checker, id.me. For my state they required a full scans of my face and fingerprints....no way I was giving biometric data to a private company for 200 a week.

I got a few headhunters and I let them find me positions. Since programming, networking, and security are always in demand, it wasn't too long. Although I was on bread and peanut butter for the last few days

So when do we see the massive manhunt to find the shooter....I assume they will use the same amount of resources they used to find Luigi. Right?

There's rare earth minerals.

Gaza has nothing other than beachfront real estate, but you got to remove them in order to take advantage of that.

GOP keeps saying 'this is a Christian nation', but they don't want understand separation of church and state.

There is no state religion. If you open a state body to prayer, then all prayer is allowed, not just the prayers you want.

Long live the satanic temple.

Try the Jar of Flies EP from Alice in Chains

 

Was able to pick enough for my dinner tonight.

 

The 1st flower wilted away....see it there in the left. The 2nd flower appeared and is much bigger and healthier. Waiting to see if I get any fruit here.

 

I have multiple eggplants in pots inside my screens. They are all flowering, but none are producing actual eggplants. Am I missing something?

 

It's been about 2 weeks since I took the 1st image I posted. This is today. The flower is looking kind of sad. Does this look normal? Does anyone know how to tell if it will fruit up by looking ?

So I got my proof of concept completed.
I took a simple USB RTL sdr with a ham it up all working through sdrsharp. I had a wideband directional antenna in my closet and hooked it up with a makeshift dovetail mount to the body of our 14" Meade lx200.

I went for Jupiter. Centered it on the Meade... Quickly discovered that I would need some sort of adjustment screws for the antenna.... But alignment aside, if I searched the general area I found a weak signal in 24 to 25 mhz. Move away and the strength would fall off, back on the planet and the signal would increase slightly.

Tells me my test works.

Now the trick. I will need a better antenna and I want opinions.

It has to be directional

It has to be lightweight, 2 pounds or less

Somehow I need to make fine adjustments to its direction at the base where it can mount to the scope. More of a mounting question than an antenna question.

Satellite dishes won't work because of space on and around the scope.

We are a non profit, so can't break the bank.

I'm open to any opinions.

 

Yep, as the director of a small observatory, I'm adding an antenna and a display of sdrsharp to hopefully show off radio emissions from our popular targets for public outreach. I'm sure most visitors won't care, but I hope to snag that 1 kid and feed his/her curiosity.

 

I was considering creating an open source project for an application that could send emails to your senators or reps on a schedule without having to manually enter info on those we forms everyone is using.

Web scraping and auto fill info kind of app.

Is this something that folks might want?
