**Listen In: How Radio Changed the Home review – the wonder of the wireless revolution**

_“Beaty Rubens’s study of the impact of early radio broadcasts in Britain is full of fascinating and often poignant detail”_

This add-on board for the uConsole (a modular handheld terminal computer with a QWERTY keyboard) that adds a software-defined radio, LoRA, and GPS as well as a USB hub and real time clock. Coming soon for $79. https://buff.ly/43oUej1 #uConsole #LoRA #wireless

My adventure with my brand new MX Keys S was cut short: it’s defective.

As weeks passed, it disconnected and connected randomly. Past week I deleted a file by mistake and that was the straw the broke the camel’s back.

I’m returning it.

May be it’s the unit, so I will exchange it for a new one.

Anyone with similar problems?

With the current #TPG #outage in #Australia if any users are currently considering changing provider, I highly recommend #AussieBB. Been with them for a year and no problems, speeds are always as advertised and they offer up to gigabit speeds.

I believe they are still offering free FTTP upgrades if you're on #copper or #wireless.

For a long time, I used three access points at home. A few months ago, I decided to downsize and see if, with technological advances, I could reduce the number of APs. Obviously, the more remote areas would be penalized, but at the moment I don't need a lot of bandwidth, just stability. So I kept only the Omada 670 - hung from the ceiling, roughly in the center of the house. The coverage was fairly complete, except for a few unimportant corners. It was ok-ish.

I had the opportunity to get a Ruckus R550 at an interesting price (for a Ruckus, of course) and, despite having lower speed performance than the Omada, I wanted to try it. Initially I was disappointed. The coverage was almost the same (but the Ruckus is in a slightly worse position, about a meter from the Omada but resting on a wooden piece of furniture), so I didn't see the advantages. However, I left it running, since I had it. The network remained stable for months.

A few days ago I needed the poe injector I use for the Ruckus (while the Omada is powered by its own power supply) so I reconnected the Omada and turned off the Ruckus. Same channels, same configuration.

Suddenly, I realized the difference. Even seeing (almost) the same signal levels from the monitoring apps, the actual performance is very different. Even in a distant room with many walls (of brick and concrete) in between, the 5Ghz signal of the Ruckus remains stable and reliable, while with the Omada it was much less stable. As "bars", almost the same. But with the Omada it is a continuous packet loss and switching to 2.4 GHz. Moreover, the most distant device (a Raspberry PI A+ with FreeBSD) with the Omada loses signal several times a day, with the Ruckus no problem and despite having a minimum bandwidth, it does not lose packets.

Going back to the Omada for a few days showed me that yes, there are differences. Yesterday I reconnected the Ruckus. Gone, again, all the problems. Of course, with the cost of a Ruckus (on offer) I get 3 "superior" Omadas, but the difference is there.

I'm so proud! #Sennheiser never would have allowed a #garage-built #proton-pack to make it in to their behind-the-scenes video! (That's me starting at 2:36)

This is a free ebook that I first heard of years ago, as one of my uncles helped write it, but I never got around reading it.

I think I will now.

I fear using #wireless #headphones or #VR headsets because I don't like the idea of having a battery pack close to my head. What if it blows up? Am I the only one with this #phobia, or is it a legitimate fear that others struggle with as well?

Radio listings for 26 December 1963. From this distance, the programmes on offer look grim, but maybe they were exciting at the time?

My impression: radio programmes in 1963 were more in tune with the 1950s than the Swinging Sixties.
