Yeah I find the Pi's of that era have pretty poor wifi reception, has been a constant source of uncertainty when I run things on them sadly

Yeah, I know multiple people who have irreversibly lost their Google or MS account. One day everything you had with them (emails, files, etc.) is just gone forever. Don't use them as a primary storage service (work the "may disappear at any time" risk into your backup/storage strategy)

I meant to comment earlier, but.. it's off the mark to frame their lifestyle as abandoning society. They are very much involved in the community and in fact, probably more social than many. Everyone finds their own way in the world and the one 100r have chosen is absolutely not a "dead end" of any sort. Strange that such a framing ends up as the top-voted comment on this... Heck, I'd argue that they live better within society (and more socially-conscious) than the average person because they actually consider the ethics and externalities of their everyday existence, unlike the majority of us who consume and extract with nary a consideration for the rest of the planet or other life forms -- all the while giving back to anyone who is interested, via creative acts and an interminable philosophy of sharing and inclusion.

Who knows? At least a YT video puts them in the direction of getting a proper evaluation after potential decades of struggling and not knowing "what's wrong with me", etc.

The difference is the intent - calling CQ is the protocol for seeking a contact to communicate with. It's not broadcasting because you're trying to establish comms with someone, and not disseminating information "one-to-many". Running a net inherently intends to engage in contact with numerous stations - by definition not "broadcasting".

The only thing I watch on youtube.com is music stuff (electronic, industrial) and occasional tech stuff like some retro computing stuff or such. I very rarely use it. I just went to the home page to see an example because I was curious. One of the recommended videos about 3 rows down? "Donald Trump Recruits Rambo To End The Iran War". It's AI slop. I watch NOTHING about politics or similar on here. Nothing about the US or war things or anything. "The algorithm" is doing exactly what your quoted snippet indicated, scarily enough.

I find myself thinking the phrase "what could possibly go wrong?" very often these days -- this topic being one that I think it about the most frequently :\

Yeah, I bought an NVIDIA Shield, took it back to the store after I got it home and found out you literally can't use it without signing into a Google account (and this wasn't mentioned on the outside of the package).
