I wonder if I showed up (as a foreign visiting) in the US how long it would take and what kind of documents would it take to have a Visa/Mastercard. I guess it would be the same as having or even longer to have your CPF issued and a digital account here in Brazil.

Maybe it depends? In my city, the online map shows only 2 Meshcore nodes, while Meshtastic 36 nodes.

And I've never spent time learning about it, but I'm under the impression Meshtastic is all about open-source and closer to ham radio philosophy, while Meshcore is backed by some for-profit organization?

Norton Antivirus for Android doesn't allow me to access the site. Hmm.

I can more or less understand where the legislator might be coming from: laser printers and copiers are already mandated to include fingerprinting in the output and disrupt any attempt of copying money.

SideKick had the ability to take "screenshots" of the text shown in other applications. Being a TSR was cool, but stealing text from another program interface was mind blowing!

I've been waiting for maybe some 15 years for some statistical method or (more recently) AI model able to decode live Morse Code in HF radio (CW as ham radio operators usually refer to it). This has been challenging not only because radio transmissions SNR is always changing and, just like handwriting, each operator sends Morse in its personal way (unless, of course, they use a PC keyer).

Yup. Home version is full of gadgets with news, weather, offers, AI stuff in the task bar... feels claustrophobic.

It'll sound crazy: I've never used Macs, but the IMAP-based client was Outlook Express back in 2005-2010.

100% multi-thread download and synch of folder contents, instantaneous display of messages, super-responsive.

I've tried a lot of clients on Windows and Linux and none of them get near the experience I had 20 years ago.

I used to work at an ISO in 1997 and we tested Mototola Sufr 28.8 and USRobotics Sportster 33.6 modems this way, just a short pair between them back-to-back. ATX1D on one side, ATA on the other, connection established.

However, recently a friend of mine tried to use the same trick with two USB modems from Trendnet and it failed. It seems they either don't have oomph enough or they rely on 9vdc off-hook carrier voltage to work.

Please stop. The moment you mentioned started mixing the Executive with the Judiciary ("has support of sitting president") it became clear you are not providing pure facts, but an opinion.

The way I see this: the Supreme Court asked X to remove content and accounts that main purpose were to promote hate and aggression towards the electoral system and institutions; X didn't comply; fines were issued; fines were never paid by X; the justice started using all available legal tools to fulfill the previous mandates (content removal and/or pecuniary penalties).

Because the answer to a defamation and asking for its compensation are also constitutional rights.

> 50⁰F/28⁰C

50⁰F is 10⁰C

> Temperatures are expected to remain up to 36 to 50 degrees (20 to 30 Celsius)

36⁰F to 50⁰F is 2⁰C to 10⁰C.

TWP can't Celsius.

> Indeed, a great part of these IPs are known as MikroTik Routers

I wonder why they decided not to include the exact percentage of the attack coming from Mikrotik devices or a list of the top 10 vendors and their share.

Like, did Mikrotik generate 50% of the high packet rate DDoS? Or was it like 10% coming from Microtik, 10% from major vendors and 80% of others/unknown?
