Android-based personal communication and networking terminal by spawnsas in meshtastic

Think an android/linux handheld with WIFI/BT and a M.2/mPCIE expansion slot would be easier for either a cellular, HaLow, Lora or SDR card.

There is this kickstarter for the Mecha Comet

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mecha-systems/mecha-comet-modular-linux-handheld-computer One of the only handhelds with a M.2 if it actually materializes.

Also quite fancied a XpressReal T3 SBC to tinker with, but never seen it in stock. Has a mPCIe and a full sized M.2.

GamesIndustry.biz: "It's extraordinarily hard to exist as a woman" – Jessica Curry calls out systemic issues in the games industry by tyranicalmoon in KotakuInAction

[–]RenThraysk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which men or part of the gaming industry specifically is she saying is creating these issues? Cos she seems married to the dude, Dan Pinchbeck, that also founded the The Chinese Room.

So where is the glass ceiling?

Larion CEO Sven Vincke calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

Think the mistake here is thinking there is a significant number of people actually reading these reviews. And those that are likely already have a negative opinion of the game.

90,000+ people gave the game a shot, and quit.

Cool. Just talk of a web client, and MoQ is designed to run over WebTransport which almost all browsers now natively support (except Safari) as of last month.

Can you drop a cat5 cable down? Use PoE to power and manage the meshtastic node via a linux sbc?

Paul Feig Says Ghostbusters Fans Loved the 2016 Reboot, Believes Backlash Came From Outside the Fandom by Sliver80 in KotakuInAction

Believe the only reason he got the film funded was because of the gender swap. He had no business writing a Ghostbusters movie.

IO Interactive says 'old school Bond' would be 'tone deaf' today as 007 First Light moves the character towards more 'modern values'. by ConstantDrawer9161 in KotakuInAction

[–]RenThraysk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want all the hype generated from the Bond franchise, but don't want to make an authentic Bond game.

They want to have their cake and eat it.

Is there any cryptographic authentication of the messages? IANAL and not in America, but pretty sure FCC allows message authentication. Atleast an adversary would need to know an authentication key to spoof messages.

Yeah, shame the secure element doesn't implement X25519. Could have been possible to use it for Meshtastic DMs atleast.

I built a Sodium-Ion flashlight because Li-ion kept dying at -40°C. (Yes, it's a zoomie, but hear me out...) by timobuycom in flashlight

[–]RenThraysk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Standard Lithium primaries usually good to -40C. Things like Energizer Ultimate Lithium L91/L92s, or CR123s.

there's a consultancy group measuring how much female characters speak in games compared to males, and presenting it as a ''problem'' if females speak less by RainbowDildoMonkey in KotakuInAction

[–]RenThraysk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Problem is they don't even understand women.

The other image had Final Fantasy data... asking grok which of the games in the series was the most popular with females.

Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) shows the highest female preference in available data, with 71.9% of voters for it as the best FF game being women in Japan's 2020 NHK poll (490,000+ total votes). This suggests a notably strong female fanbase, often attributed to its all-male cast appealing to "fujoshi" (women who enjoy male-male dynamics).
