For local reception, receivers with RTL2832U chips are a cheap option. They are also called RTL-SDR. I have simply been using a long wire as a “random wire antenna”. Some of the older dongles also need an upconverter to be able to tune into low HF frequencies:

An upconverter for the RTL-SDR translates low HF frequencies ‘up’ into ones that are receivable by the RTL-SDR. This is a different method to the direct sampling mode used in the V3 dongles to achieve HF reception.

A Kenyan union has many opinions

And a funny opinion on Kenyan onions

The Kenyan onion has multiple layers

It just goes “on” and “on” for years and years

Like the Kenyan union’s opinions on onions

They make you cry, but unlike grand canyons

Their views are not great like your fantasy mansion’s

Now, is this really a poem of onion?

Or is it rather a ridiculous riddle?

They said it just goes “on” and “on”

But “i” was forgotten in the middle…

… but would you like a cup of sea?

The “magic remote” from LG …

It’s so magic it makes you pay for a new remote with features that should already work on the regular remote.

But I get it. We’re talking groundbreaking features like navigating up/down/left/right, back and even selecting stuff! /s

The solution I found for my parents’ aging LG TV begging for a “magic remote” was adding an AndroidTV box with its own remote and an updated OS with an actual selection of working, relevant apps (as opposed to the native OS of the TV), for a cheaper price than a “magic remote” IIRC. Finally, replacing the default launcher of the AndroidTV box with the minimalist FLauncher made the replacement a somewhat less crappy experience than it initially was.

Good point. Reminded me of this alarm app, where you scan a QR code to disable the alarm:

I recently bought their Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) based on multiple recommendations online when looking for a router that supports OpenWRT. That’s preinstalled, with AdGuard Home and WireGuard VPN on top of it. I’m looking forward to set it up and play around with it.

What do you exactly mean when you describe their approach in software as Android-like? That it’s easy to install services in OpenWRT?

Wait until I debunk you by publishing these articles:

Is no always the answer to questions in headlines?

Yes but no.

How can you know the answer to questions in headlines?

No, you know.

Why is no always the answer to questions asked in headlines?

No. The answer is no, and that does not really answer this question.

No, he/she/they can’t possibly be that many. I’m one too!

The model just didn’t stop generating.

You must wait until it reaches a theory where “i” could somehow refer to some Chinese dissidents…

[…]

But again, that’s specific to that field.

[…]

But that’s getting too technical.

[…]

But still, without context, it’s hard to be precise.

1. Grab a few moles…
2. Axe a knife into their stones…
3. Twist the knife to get rid of those…
4. Remove the moleskin with a spoon…
5. 6, 7, 8, GUAC!!!

That was Góògle

Like a fridge or kitchen appliance that rejects foods from your local store, your neighbours’ or your own produce… Pretty useless.

Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.

I thought it was supposed to be an infinite amount of monkeys, since it’s known as “infinite monkey theorem”, but apparently, according to Wikipedia,

The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare. […]

[…] can be generalized to state that any sequence of events that has a non-zero probability of happening will almost certainly occur an infinite number of times, given an infinite amount of time or a universe that is infinite in size.

However, I think, as long as either the timeframe or monkey amount is infinite, it should lead to the same results. So, why even limit one of them on this theoretical level after all?

The linked study even seems to limit both, so they’re not quite investigating the actual classic theorem of one monkey with infinite time, it seems.

Ok. The fact that you prefer it (probably because the thieve is mostly kind and generous to you) does not change the reality that it very much is theft from all those who might not agree with your societal preferences, and who did never consent to this.

Since you (or any majority in society) naturally don’t have the right to forcefully take other people’s money (or property) without their consent, it’s impossible to forward that right to the state (or any person) acting on your behalf. It does not matter how good of a deal it is to you or anyone else. That’s why it can logically be described as theft when a state collects taxes using violent force as a threat to anyone who won’t pay.

Right, most animals can only zoo!

I guess that’s the big game …

You have the option to spoof/fake/mock it manually with an app. This one, it seems, even has some available add-ons for mocking UnifiedNlp data and more…)

Mock my GPS (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location/

Mock Silently (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location.silently/

Possibly you’ll have to enable dev options and set the location spoofing app in there. At least, I remember seeing the option in there, but that was years ago.
