I checked before this comment and it is posted on the TED channel, not TED X.

I lost a lot of respect for Ted Talks when these guys were allowed to use theirs as an ad.

I have a tattoo that means “I don’t know, I don’t speak japanese.” It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn’t speak the language.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

I 100% would not want an image like that to pop up in front of a coworker. I’m on board with you, OP.

They don’t follow the grid frequency because the EU or US regulations require it, they follow the grid frequency because physics demands it.

This is only supplying like 3.5 amps, so not going to trip any breakers.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’d want. Thanks for the link.

That method of use would not replace what the garmin inreach does. I’m more looking for something to notify authorities of my location in the event of an emergency, rather than to communicate between hikers.

Sure the R1s are large, but R2 and R3 are much more reasonably sized and are planned to be lower priced. It seems that these new EV companies like to go with fewer of their higher end cars in the beginning to fund the production of the larger volume, more economic models later.

Oh nice, the only ones I’ve heard of before are the Garmin inreach and similar. Good to know about this.

I got into ham about a year and a half ago. Super interesting, I just didn’t have the time because I was in a pretty intense school. I’d love to tinker with meshtastic, but is that a solution for hiking? Would you need to rely on a node being within range of you in order to convert your message into sms or something?

Seriously. Don’t cover your eyes and pretend you can’t see why the government treats US companies different than companies that are directly in the hands of adversaries. They might not care if Meta uses it to profit off of us, but they certainly do care if China will use it to achieve an advantage over us, militarily or otherwise.

I’m really excited for this. I’ve considered getting a licator beacon for emergencies while hiking and camping, but didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription for something I wouldn’t use every month.

The first two minutes of this video are very on point with this meme.

I call my dog, Mila (pronounced Myla, I just was dumb when I tried to spell it when we adopted her), Mylar Balloon.

Am I not more or less guaranteed to wake up on a Wednesday each week?

It’s completely normal for stores to keep cooked, deli style chicken on non-refrigerated shelves all day. I don’t trust it.

They have more drink vending machines than you’ll believe, with a huge variety ofcold and hot drinks and even soup, but essentially no food vending machines.
