Quite a few Ubiquiti APs can be reflashed with OpenWRT.

I really love their Switches, Routers and directional radio link stuff.

But: Mikrotik has problems with end-user Wifi - Their APs are old and weak.

By looking at the security history of Checkpoint.. uhm.. :-)

At least in Germany solar panels are absurdly cheap right now.

You can get a ~440W panel for around 40€. Latest generation and industrial grade.

There are dozens of shops where you can pick them up after ordering.

1) Do they post SatDump data somewhere?

Don't know.

2) (I doubt it but) Is it under a free license?

SatDump is GPLv3

Cool stuff!

Also keep a close eye on the Opensource SatDump project. That's a group of (mostly ham, but not all of them) radio enthusiasts that are listening to all kind of science satellites. They managed to decode many of them.

They are far far beyond the old 137MHz analog NOAA stuff. Collecting crazy broadband from S- or X-band is no challenge for them.

On the HCI interface. That's not a OTA attack.

If an attacker can write raw data the HCI interface you are doomed anyway.

As far as I know all nav sats have emergency beacon payloads (Cospas-Sarsat). All providers (Beidou, GPS, Glonass, Galileo) joined this.

Galileo

Which has optional cryptographic signatures of its positioning data. It's not spoofable anymore (but still jam'able with strong transmitters).

Free for use.

Same for the HAS (High Accuracy Service) which offers precision down to 30cm without additional correction data.

Also free for use. But requires a special receiver as it's using an additional band.

Galileo was the ugly duckling for a very long time - but it turned into a shining one after it aged a bit.

Galileo offers optional cryptographic signatures for their positioning data.

It's a solved problem and free for use.

Kicad brings its own Python and is fully interfaceable.

TA is IMHO far from useable when planing complex tours in a country.

I even prefer reading Reddit travel reports or indexes of travel books for reading stuff on that website.

I tested it with several places I know very well from my "manually planed" tours. It was "aware" of them all. Even the more hidden recommendations.

LLMs are stellar for trip planning. They can spit out a lot of potential options for a country or region.

I just add all the suggestions to a map and then plan way around them. Also doing some manual research like opening times.

Why I love this? I really don't want to research too deep into my destinations as this kills a lot of the magic seeing seeing them in person.

Without 5G SA that standard is an awful battery sucker. My Pixel 6 looses almost 1/3 of its battery capacity when being stuck at 5G NSA.

With my Pixel 8 and 5G SA activated (Telefonica Germany) everything is back to normal.

WCH is quiet famous for their Risc-V microcontrollers.

This is the result when an elite attacker meets an elite analyst group.

That's some very heavy stuff.

Cool project! Love it! :-)

We mounted a furby head in one of our robots at work and let it yell swear words at our management.

They (and we) love it.

That project was the source of many code snippets/patterns that have implemented in official products that earned a lot of money.

The Nordic countries have a lot of problems too.

One example is their completely failed drug policy, which is aimed at repression instead of care and therapy.

They solved a lot of our problems we didn't find good solutions for!

CHDK back then had quiet a few people from Canon helping - as far as I remember the floor gossip.

Even worse: they cannot get open mental healthcare for this without loosing their license.

Loose-loose-situation.

If you are using the naked modem chip of course.

But by buying one of these m.2 cards this stuff is already done. Connect it to the PC and U.fl antenna and start playing around with them.

Maybe I should have clarified that these mentioned chips are already places onto M.2 cards you can buy from Ali/Amazon&Co.

It needs to a M.2<->PCIe adapter card.

Yes. Works.

Beware that their (Unifi U7) MLO implementation is still in Alpha and Early Access. 2.5GE at the Ubiquiti Wifi-7 APs is a bad joke.

TP Omada at least has 10GE support.

There's a Mediatek and Qualcomm card for Wifi-7 available.

I'm running the Mediatek MT7925E on a AMD with OpenSUSE Thumbleweed distribution without problems.

FYI:

Wifi-7 modems (some of them are AP-capable) are now available for around 15-30€. They support all bands (2, 5, 6)

Have a look at the Mediatek (MT7925E) and Intel (BE200-BE202) cards. There also the more pricy Qualcomm QCNCM865.

The Mediatek and Qualcomm also works with AMD mainboards. The Intel cards are not compatible with AMD mainboards as they are using a proprietary stuff.

At leas the Mediatek works fine with Linux (currently running in Thumbleweed) and AMD.

Best case would be: they see the the analysis and say "fuck - that stuff is good. Not worth spending a second trying to analyze and decrypt it."

They have low-kHz transmitters for reaching submarines. So, for many decades already.
