@MarrJurea@KCTV5 To your point about landlines, they are very easy to wiretap which is why most have moved to VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol, which still has the potential to be tapped but it's more complicated.
@MarrJurea@KCTV5 At a technical level, it's correct. iPhone use Apple's proprietary Messages protocol while Android, combined with the cell carriers - if enabled, use RCS. Currently texting between an iPhone and Android causes both platforms to default to SMS/MMS which is unencrypted.
@gobrightspeed It's not my service issue. I'm a competitor attempting to do the right thing and report observed damage to YOUR service lines.
PM me and I will gladly provide GPS coordinates and photos of the damage - it's been almost a week now.
@gobrightspeed When a competitor takes the time to call in pole damage Don't:
1) Dismiss the caller before knowing the location with "we know."
2) Insist on an address when provided the road intersection.
3) Tell the caller the farmer should call instead.
@glezak@TPHawk7 Gary's right. In my work as an internet service provider, this can help us to prepare by moving resources into or obtaining resources for specific areas so we can have a faster recovery. It even helps us plan out large projects.
Within 3 days of upgrading to iOS 16, I bought a Pixel 6 Pro. Even after the patches, my SE 2 continues to experience issues with its WiFi adapter and random system freezes. It's the least stable update ever released for iOS.
@gfuller_blog ...point to point links, like what the long line towers used to have, can be done entirely on the tower with some low voltage DC, fiber optic cable, and a much smaller antenna and reach the same distance in ideal conditions.
@gfuller_blog I saw the recent update on your blog regarding the Dayton, MO tower. Current rules do not require registration or lighting for towers under 200ft. Dayton is 180ft tall. It was abandoned for a time. Dishes are for fixed wireless broadband - I have service from it.
@gfuller_blog ...and have the same footprint of two playing cards. Recently, sync and async horns have become popular and are much smaller than traditional sector panels. A 5Ghz 30 degree sector can reasonably reach 5 miles without extreme measures...
Imagine a UI that randomly traverses a database table after page 1 after an edit or a refresh. You can refresh until it's out of data to display - without asking for the next page. Now imagine a company worth half a billion told you to use this to fix a problem caused by them.
@gfuller_blog Now I have to confess that I also run a WISP myself in Holden 😀 Depends on how “clean” the air is. Out in remote areas, such as Dayton or Slater, easily 5-6mi. In a WiFi dense area such as Holden, 3-5mi - at least with 5Ghz. Depends on the frequency and output power a lot.
I took two days off from work and of course an expensive AP dies. So I’ve been working with spreadsheets and terribly designed UI all afternoon. Just what I wanted to do to relax and stop stressing about work.
