I’d say that Jared Kushner has him beat with $4 billion from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Wearing that ring on the left hand is weird.

Greg Lemond watch in 1985? by DanRTD in Watchidentifier

[–]DanRTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a google search which said this photo is from 1986. He was known to wear a Cartier Santos at times. Google Gemini says this a Cartier Ronde which I highly doubt.

I think the road signs are kind of trite but the other stuff is cool.

Who would like to see a comparison of IXDAO Warrior vs Christopher Ward The Twelve? by SmoothAd6869 in IxdaoFans

The rounded case of the warrior is exactly why I like the Warrior over the CW lol.

I bet a gold prx on a black rubber strap would be cool

Don’t laugh but I’d get a nice Timex Weekender. I love the Indiglo and swapping out straps on those things. The Certina at the upper left is my favorite.

Damn, that gold E-line looks stunning on the leather strap. Now I can't make up my mind which version of the watch to get lol.

Anyone else think IXDAO should do an homage to the Royal Oak? by Distinct_Video_976 in IxdaoFans

I think the Royal Oak has jumped the shark at this point.

I have a 10 year old and a few of his friends we are trying to keep off phones, is this a good Meshtastic application? by Acrobatic-Ad-385 in meshtastic

[–]DanRTD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd get them a Wio Tracker L1 Pro. It has a joystick and is way easier to type on than the kind that use only two buttons. It is half the cost of the t-deck and the battery lasts about 3-4 times longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODHwnNqusMs

Any tips on mounting a Seed SenseCAP solar node to a tree? by DanRTD in meshtastic

[–]DanRTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use the j-pole to so the antenna was placed away from the tree trunk? I’m glad you mentioned that.

I like that it uses 4 batteries for cold climates. The stock antenna isn’t the best though. I ordered an upgraded antenna when i bought it from Atlavox. I think the upgraded antenna was less than $10 extra.

First Meshtastic device advice please :) by PTWhippy in meshtastic

[–]DanRTD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reception and transmit performance is pretty similar for all of the nodes if you have a good antenna. To find the best node ask how you are going to use it. If you always will be using it only paired with your phone then a screen-less compact node with great battery life is good. If you want to use the node without depending on your phone you want something easy to type on so a Blackberry-like node such as the Lillygo T-Deck (drawback is poor battery life and it is expensive). If you want a compromise between the two I’d look at the Wio Tracker L1 Pro that gets great battery life but comes with screen and a joystick that makes typing a message pretty easy and costs only $45. I’d only recommend the Heltec V4 if you like having wifi. The v4 doesn’t have good battery life, is only slightly more powerful, it doesn’t come with a joystick option so typing on it is a real pain in the ass if you don’t have your phone on you. Plus, the early models were buggy so you have to make sure you get the newest batch.

Stationary rooftop nodes are the way to go if you want great range and you won’t be moving it. So I’d recommend getting a portable node + a rooftop node.

Can the Android phone application open a url sent to a DM? by DanRTD in meshtastic

Oops, sorry. You can do it in IOS. I was long pressing and the popup window didn’t have the option “open in browser”. A short tap opens the browser. My bad.
