Well hey, I appreciate the recommendation. Maybe it’s time to get back into Windows 98 gaming. Just like mom used to make.

Not a bad idea. How do you actually partake that hobby? Is it more the same building things or the challenge of getting old hardware/software working?

Computer electronics are like my main hobby. It was expensive on a good day. This makes it unaffordable.

You can do that Microslop. It’s not exactly possible for me to not use your software even harder at this point.

I wonder how many surveillance dollars are going into that company that isn’t publicly known.

It’s been surreal watching my technically-inclined friends switch.

Defense budget? But isn’t that for war? They renamed it to the Department of War right?

Amplify your mind in the reverse direction!

Wow, I thought this was a joke.

I want AI to do my chores not play my games.

You just might get your wish.

Gray hair can look lovely. I accept

One can’t say the same for skin cancer.

It’s definitely proprietary at the physical layer. You cannot make your own LoRa RF chips. It’s patented, closed-source, and owned by Semtech. There is no public specification.

However, the higher layers above physical are open and the proprietary radio chips are well-supported and widely available to hobbyists. There’s not much else in the low-power, low-cost, and no-license required to transmit niche, and it works really well at what it aims to do.

It depends what you mean by big. Are you talking mass or volume? If you’re talking volume, you could argue the black hole consumes no space but perhaps you mean the space contained within the event horizon.
