How many other 'traffic' apps have a feature to report police locations. Waze I know had it.

I have to add an extra parameter to all my proton enabled games so that I use wine for 3d. If I don't, I get blank screens. If I do, works like a charm. I post to the proton db after I verify it on each game.

So he is telling them to ignore the rules and do it anyway?

It's still a right embedded in the constitution. The supreme court didn't say he could do it....but the orange Cheetos in chief probably thinks they did because his mother gave birth to him at the top of a ladder

How many false positives will it have when trying to find accounts for John Smith

Always follow the money. Why are GOP and billionaires afraid and against this man who pledges to help the poor and struggling working class? Because they obviously have an interest in keeping the poor and struggling in the status quo conditions in which they live.

If helping the poor didn't hurt their bottom line, they wouldn't pay to keep it from happening.

Yes it is housing and healthcare. Even with health insurance, a major sickness can bankrupt anybody, especially when insurance denies coverage.

Ding ding.....we have a winner.

Anything that monitors for data that proves climate change is real is now WOKE and Trump wants to sweep it under the carpet

HIPAA data is protected.....until it isn't. Laws change. Especially when companies are salavating to access health data.

Follow the money. Nominee for surgeon general has a stake in wearable tech.

Just like when those scatter machines were forced on the TSA, it's because the person in charge had a stake in the company making them.

My company gave these things away to each employee for some 'fitness challenge' between departments....I never even opened the package. My group was mad at me for not helping win the free lunch or whatever it was .... Until I made them read the privacy policy. Many stopped wearing them immediately

When the engine is off?

Of course, how to tell this with an electric car?

 

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?
