Small changes can have a huge impact.. far beyond your context window ;-)
I've been to many places in Italy that have scary much CCTV.
Relative precision is enough if you just want to get rid of pills
The Fingerprint with Pin 2FA is a huge game changer.
I gave up on Gemini 3.1 Pro in VSCode after 2 hours. They fully refunded me.
RISC-V eats the low-end microcontrollers range alive at the moment with a lot of interesting features (integrated PHYs, etc.) coming from the vendors.
> based on which one has the strongest signal.
That's not what you want to have in an enterprise environment.
A roaming decision must be based on the signal level readings from both sides from the infrastructure side.
Everything else is gambling.
> I bet companies will release WiFi 8 products even when it's still a draft, just as they did with WiFI 7.
They must. Otherwise it cannot be tested within the labs.
And producing chips before a standard is finalized is usually no problem at all: there are gates within the standardization process where the will be no more changes that are relevant for the silicon.
These 802.11n-draft APs were a singular fuckup regarding this.
Wifi-8 will be great. Finally we get seamless controlled handovers between accesspoints that can be controlled from infrastucture side.
With MAP 2.4GHz can serve as long range network that can be filled with High-Rate 5GHz / 6GHz cells. And all of them can be utilized in parallel.
802.11be (Wifi-7) still lacks this.
We need a remote-petting-arm so we can pet the cat'berts over long distance lines.
Also a microphone for receiving feedback.
For me it's not paranoia.. more like: I have a ton of unused GBit/s left.. so routing a few kBit... MBit/s of mobile data doesn't hurt.
Thanks to Wireguard and basically 0% battery overhead on Android I always keep it activated. If you don't have a Wireguard endpoint just use Orbot to route it through Tor.
Did that several times using cheap eSIMs while traveling.
Never had a single problem with it (but increased latency because of weird routings around the world).
