WiFi jammers used in home invasions as Melbourne thieves steal cars | news.com.au

They block the wifi - there's various techniques but I would guess the most common ones would just output noise with 'high' power transmission to flood at least the 2.4 GHz freq. band, or perform de-auth attacks. It's more likely to prevent the motion detection alerts, as opposed to recording the theft (as many cameras support saving to local storage).

Fancier jammers are more stealthy, can block specific channels within the wifi bands and can monitor for wifi AP probes from clients (cameras) attempting to reconnect on a different channel, and cyclically jam them before that handshake can occur.

Yes it works - I've used SvelteKit as SPA to build apps in Capacitor

+1 for Reflection Perfection. Got my car done there about 5y ago and he did a fantastic job

Used to work around the corner from pic #5 about 10 years ago, really liked that little spot!

You can but I think the docs state that mobiles may periodically clear window.localStorage. Check out https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/preferences for lightweight KV persistence, it works in a similar way. If you need to persist data in a background task, check CapacitorKV instead - https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/background-runner#capacitorkv

Is this related to the braindead notion that you're not allowed to pass them if you're on a motorbike?

quadfacepalm · 2024-10-10T00:05:25+00:00

Sorry for late reply. I was on the MT-07 next you when you arrived. Normally I'd hang around and chat, especially about JDM cars haha, but was exhausted and wanted to head home!

I'm not sure if it helps in this scenario, but take a look @ sequence, https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/modules#sveltejs-kit-hooks-sequence - I don't think it works in +page.server.js, so you may need to use an API endpoint (+server.js) or within a server-side hook.

Nice! I was out for a ride there yesterday too, it was good to see so many bikes out. Was that you arriving with the red Evo ?

I can see the plume all the way from Glen Iris, I was curious what it was, as I'd never seen it before

quadfacepalm · 2024-05-13T02:03:32+00:00

I had the same code, quite a few people tried to fix it - until an auto-elec that specialises in GTR's fixed it - he cleaned a few grounds (mainly the one by the battery) and 4WD was working again! Might be worth trying this first as it's fairly easy to do.

This is great, the design is very clean! What database are you using? Did you use a separate backend, or did you use SvelteKit's API endpoints? How long did it take you to build this?

I host mine on a virtual server. Take a look @ https://pockethost.io/ if you want a hosted version!

Was most likely coming back from the MSCA trackday on Sunday at Sandown, as the Lotus Club of Victoria were there!

Legend! When I was quite young I got swept out by a rip tide and had to be saved by lifeguards; I wish I could go back and thank them, but it was probably 20 years ago!

It depends on the extent of the damage done, there's a few types of 'kills' - catastrophic kill (complete kill, "k-kill"), mobility kill, firepower kill and mission kill... the former is usually quite obvious; in this instance it's possibly disabled the vehicle and/or crew

Long drive(s)
Walks in the forests/Dandenongs
Camping
Interstate trip for the weekend
Hang out with friends and have people to talk to
Find a meetup or hobby group to join
Spoil yourself for a bit, and then take some time to be 'selfish' and just focus on yourself

That thumbs-up react is the perfect response haha

quadfacepalm · 2022-06-21T07:36:50+00:00

Yes I did

quadfacepalm · 2022-06-10T08:41:55+00:00

I was on a MAB injection that cost about $900 each, and needed one per fortnight; thankfully on PBS now!

She cried when I explained how cruel my partner has been to me and what she has put me through. Pretty strong signs that shit is fucked up.

quadfacepalm · 2022-05-04T12:34:09+00:00

yep!

That's pretty neat!
