I think it might actually be photoshopped to look like a print, because that's the same picture that's on the Wikipedia page for Jesus Nut, with the same hand, background, and shadows, except on Wikipedia it's obviously a metal part. I spent way too long comparing them trying to figure out if they shopped a 3D print over the real one or colored and textured it to look like a print, and I think it's the latter.
The most notable difference is that meshtastic has range in the order of miles. At least 1 mile even with bad antennas but with other nodes nearby to repeat your messages, 20 miles is not hard to do.
The original appears to be by OversizedHat and prints with supports, but it looks like 2 other people split it into parts for gluing together. The text appears to be supported by a white piece behind it.
The encryption keys are generated on the device but can be exported in the app / through the API so you can back it up or migrate nodes. As for spoofing protection, it's mainly keeping your key secret and the fact that each device Mac address shows up as a specific color. I believe there's a warning if you see a device Mac with a new key from before (in case someone spoofs your Mac but doesn't have your key), but if you were to import your key into a new device I don't think there's any warning to others besides noticing the different Mac address / color.
And yeah the L1 looks really good - it uses the same nrf chip and lora radio as the rak4631 and uses one of the 2 gps options of the rak4631 (it might be slightly better than the other one which I picked but probably doesn't matter unless you're in an area where gps is tough). If I didn't have the rak and I didn't want to build (and didn't like the slightly less polished look of the wismesh builds), the L1 would definitely be a contender.
Ooh let me info dump... I used meshtastic 5-6 years ago but recently got back into it
I just have a preference for using it over Bluetooth because I prefer typing on my phone, so I can mainly give thoughts from that perspective. The lilygo t-deck has a BlackBerry keyboard iirc so if you like BlackBerry style keyboard then that might be a good option for you. If you want a different kind of small keyboard, maybe the t-lora pager is for you.
I had a T-beam early on but the earlier variant has the antenna sticking out the middle sideways, so I was always concerned it would snap off accidentally. Both old and new I believe use 18650, which makes it not very thin, so I lost interest in them.
Lately I went all in on nodes I can use with my phone where I just have to carry it, preferably with 0 screens for extra battery life or buttons, just charge, turn on, and pair and do everything from the app. Nowadays the app is so much better than it used to be, I have a few nits but it doesn't feel buggy like it used to.
One I use now is a custom rak4631 with the tiniest base board and gps, paired with a medium (non stubby) flexible antenna that I would guess is 5dbi in a 3D printed case - only things on the outside are the reset button, USB c port, and antenna (I skipped the screen and user button). It's pretty small in the hand, pretty good range I guess? (my longest single hop contacts on longfast are supposedly around 13 miles), but haven't tested battery life since I'm not on the go much. It should be good though because it's an nrf, which is superior to the esp based ones in battery life if you compare like with like. I used to have a bit of Bluetooth pairing trouble after the first connection but it's been behaving lately - forgetting it and repairing it fixes it and no settings are lost, and messages seem to stay so no big deal I guess.
The other I'm using now is the wismesh tag, since it's also a very simple screenless single button, also nrf based, flat node that you can more easily pocket. No assembly, comes pre-flashed and it's a very polished plastic slab so great form factor. It also has a beeper that plays an annoying jingle when a message is received, and for some reason just turning off beeper alerts doesn't work, you have to toggle off the beeper setting. Oh well. As expected, the range is much worse since the antenna is internal, the furthest single hop contacts on longfast appear to be 5.5mi.
There are a bunch more options that I can't go over in detail but it's worth checking out heltec (all esp based except the T114) and lilygo (like t-echo), and the seeed L1 is really enticing me, there's a lot of similarly small options with screens among them, watch out for ones that don't have gps if you care about showing your exact or approximate location circle to others, and some have WiFi which I don't care about so mine don't 🤷♂️ also the SX1262 Lora radio is the recommended one, which my choices use. I based my decisions on the devices list: https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/
Overall I think I like my rak better, but if I was in a more crowded place and could rely more on nearby nodes, and went outside more, or if I wanted to lend someone one, the wismesh tag could be handy.
Also in case you don't know, aside from the wismesh tag, I believe all of their other products are basically pre-assembled RAKs in custom enclosures - not a bad thing if a rak would fit your needs but you don't want to put it together.
Can you please outline for me what the policy was before and after the EU intervention? It's my understanding that it changed nothing about the actual refund process, which has always been flexible, but was purely about the wording during checkout. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can't remember a time when I couldn't refund a game that I played less than 2 hours, and I've been on steam for 17 years.
Edit: Looking at the EU regulation, it appears they don't actually require Steam to offer refunds once you download/play the game. So their longstanding global policy is better than what is required by EU law. I believe they EU action just forced them to parrot the stricter EU refund guideline (14 days without downloading) during checkout, meanwhile they still provide their regular relaxed policy of allowing you to download and play for up to 2 hours and still refund it within 14 days.
Yeah it totally has nothing to do with proton, steam input, steamvr, mods, remote play / together, family library sharing, flexible refund policies, or the multitude of other things that other stores don't do.
I recently got into vrchat and that honestly seems like a decent way to get virtual cuddles at least. Lots of furry transbians, people who will head pat and face pat you, and groups of people who just cuddle. I got adopted by a group of furries that are pretty cuddly and it's pretty great tbh.
I assume this sick Nazi fuck just wanted to make a snuff video of an innocent mom, wife and US citizen.
It really does seem that way - the whole situation, especially being prepared recording and positioning himself at the front corner of the car so he could safely take a glancing bump from the car without actually risking his safety gives me flashbacks to bullies on the playground who would stand in front of you and move to block you just so that you'd run into them and they could call the teacher and say you pushed them. That but a grown ass adult and given a gun.
As a dev with roughly 10 years (or more depending on how you count) of experience, I would have done the same. Beyond maintaining self respect, I feel like we have a duty to each other to ensure companies that treat candidates like this have the hardest time possible finding someone willing to put up with it. I don't even entertain companies that won't let me use my choice of distro - especially considering I'm web UI focused.
If you tried BlueStacks and androidstudio and those don't work, and you don't have access to an old android device, then you could try something like BrowserStack - I've occasionally used them to test websites in specific combinations of OS and browser version on supposedly real devices. They have an option to test android apps, and you may be able to transfer your apk or paste in a share link to try it out there.
I think they give you 30 minutes free, but I haven't tried the app testing (since I'm a web dev) so idk if it would be excluded from the sign up bonus. The price for a single freelancer is $19 month to month.
Are you using sonarr/radarr to do your renaming? I have mine set to patterns that put the release group at the end. It usually has no problem picking up release groups at the beginning (especially for anime, that seems to be pretty common), so by the time it's auto imported, the filenames have been normalized to standard format with release group at the end.
