In terms of setting up a mesh #WiFi (or indeed any WiFi), things couldn’t have been easier than with the #eero (named after a Finnish architect, and son of my favourite architect, Eliel). Plug in and after pairing with the easy app, it just worked. Great coverage and I haven’t even set up the third one yet. Superb replacement for sadly unsupported #Apple #Airport. Now to figure out a #TimeCapsule alternative.

Thanks @WiteWulf btw on TP-Link tip. Worth considering!

Researchers Issue Warning About Tech That Could Turn Every Router ‘Into a Potential Means for #Surveillance’
Researchers identify people through ordinary #WiFi routers with 99.5% accuracy — technique works with standard #WiFirouters
The team's "#BFId" attack works with off-the-shelf hardware.
Researchers used beamforming feedback information (BFI) and machine learning to identify people walking within a network’s range.

I am pretty excited to soon start selling a PCB project I created. The Weblink Backpack- I designed around the Xiao ESP32 board, making it easy to connect to a controllable, neon transformer.

https://codeberg.org/JamesCodes/ESP32-Captive-Portal-Neon-Dimmer

The backpack earned its keep when a client wanted their neon to be dimmable but didn’t want to see the knob — while still wanting the knob to be reachable. I realized that I could use my backpack design to bring the dimmer knob to the client's phone.
Since then, these backpacks have become my go to for just about any blinking or dimming design. I have started recommending them to others as the most convenient way to blink tubes except I need to start making them available- hence this video-

https://makertube.net/w/gz8BQWatJoeMumnKMjSpJ5

My goal is to partner with my buddy Percy to make these purchasable by anyone through his webstore.

Excited to hear your thoughts?

My #wifi went a bit crappy. I think #linux was really to blame. So I bought a few wifi dongles to try them out.

The one I was using -- a nice mini one -- started playing up. When I open my laptop the computer can't see it and I have to unplug and plug so the computer sees it, or I just wait for half an hour before the computer sees it.

I'd rather not keep unplugging and plugging all the time so I plugged a spare dongle in as well which works all the time and I can use that while I wait for the other one to work.

So I'm basically using two wifi connections at the same time now.

I'm so glad to use again this old Wireless B/G router from Linksys!

I don't know about what "RangeBooster" does (if it does anything) but it was a powerful access point at the time 😺

Look, it's a blog post where the title is a question, and therefore, as per Betteridge's law of headlines, the short answer is 'no'. But that wouldn't make...
