Ram doesn’t require anywhere near the tech we need for processors.

They’re going this kind of thing for processors

Ram uses tech that’s way older. and for our needs, they can just stack smaller, low density chips

Go ahead, make a lucrative market for consumer ram, see how fast china figures out how ot start filling that need :)

0 chance they hand out new SSID, that’s money and work and confusion, imagine every medical entity changing over that code?

First, the govt would need to make a lookup table.

Anyone that used their old ssid for something, or a system that had the old ssid in it, would need a translation to the new ID.

Sooo at what point could you safely stop accepting old ID’s because they’re all changed over? Never. Some random medical provider in east bumfuck, TN, still uses your SSID from their own paper copy. So you’re stuck accepting old SSIDs and translating them into new SSIDs on demand, which completely breaks any security of changing IDs in the first place.

There have been enough nexus/credit leaks over the years, it’s hardly news that those ID’s are compromised.

start a large company, force all the employees to use the cheap venture driven tokens now to get more done with less talent then fire everywhere when the bubble pops.

“Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift” For Now.

Give them 6-8 months, they’ll shove it back in quietly in a way you can’t see it happening as easily.

Good perf per watt, but super expensive, walled garden, internally spying and nearly unrepairable.

We’re already offered some protection by up/down votes not mattering. Botting yourself doesn’t buy you much visibility. The real concern for me would be Mods or channel owners on the take. Just like they can’t buy themself views, we rely on mods to bury bullshit and not bury non-advertiser-friendly content. Of course, if a channel goes rogue, we just abandon it on that node and move to another. The pure nature of federation makes us less attractive to advertisers, They’re not going to want to chase dozens of smaller channels all over the place for eyeballs. Also, we’re nearly too small to care about while there are targets as big as Bluesky and Reddit around.

So, nothing has changed in 6 years?

Sooo, Digg started to monetize, Manipulate the feeds for money, allowing Reddit to swoop in and steal their lunch. Doubled down as the platform emptied, now 15 years later, they say Trust me, Bro?

But you lose encryption.

Meshtastic has some store-and-forward stuff that’s damn nice but someone has to set it up.

Meshcore has routers, repeaters and mailboxes.

It it could be pushed up to a few watts it would be far more useful.

Now, they made boards with more power that operated and crossed at several different frequency bands,

Some nodes have up to 5 watts, but you have to put them in ham mode with your license, it also disables encryption (ham requirement)

You can stitch together several different cheap radios in different frequencies using MQTT.

TBF, I’d be super happy just to move back to APRS, (i’m a ham) but the equipment is stupid expensive.

There are some, there are probably more than are in the picture, map access is opt-in

So, I setup meshtastic.

Put an antenna on my roof.

Have a decent number of mesh radios. Put one in each car in relay mode.

Setup a locally run LLM and made an interface to it.

Working on setting up a BBS.

I’m in the high density suburbs, I can, when the weather is just right, reach a single node that doesn’t seem to be able to reach any other nodes.

If I go on a drive, I can see 5-10 nodes.

Adoption in the mid-Atlantic US is just so damn low, it’s not really usable.

We need some antennas up high, but there aren’t any reasonable options around me.

They didn’t just rewrite it, they rewrote it in feces React

Shit’s getting extra shitty everywhere. Its like a couple of countries went a little fash and every politician across the globe went FUCK YEAH, LET US IN ON THAT SHIT!!!

wow, sign me up for a couple of dozen terabytes of that!

I also remember people burning pitts on scotch tape, then rolling it up and reading it in 3d :)

prints article out

places it on an overflowing, ancient pile of documents of promising, science proved data storage methods that haven’t made it to public use yet

I’m more worried about the politicians :)
