This could just be due to usage change over time, similar to how "literally" can mean the same thing as "figuratively" now a days. But I'm not an etymologist.

I've been wanting to figure out a good format for other local sports GDT as well, or a way to autopost them! Thanks for doing the hard work!

Awesome!! I had started something very similar but it became a huge task to filter songs into proper categories like this. Thanks for sharing!

I believe the article mentioned they would continue building up Ghost Recon and The division. Not really sure what the game plan on that would be though.

 

I've been noticing some interference with Wifi devices around my house, so I started looking for a way to troubleshoot them. I've tried to use a signal scanner on my phone to see if i can pick anything up but it goes away the devices come back online before i can get out to check. After some, admittedly, brief researching, i figured i could make my own signal/frequency scanner with an SDR and leaving it out in the area i believe the interference is effecting, and recording activity. After searching around a bit more, the devices are fairly expensive for the signal range i would need, for what would amount to some troubleshooting.

Which brings me to this post. I'm hoping to not spend a decent chunk of change and this not work so I'm asking to see if anyone here has experience using an SDR (in general) to troubleshoot signals in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz range. If so, would i be able to use the ADALM-PLUTO with the 6GHZ firmware download.

The setup would consist of a Raspbery Pi with PiSDR, and the ADALM on it. Ideally it could record over 48+ hours, at which i could review for interference. To then get the most bang for my buck, I would also like to troubleshoot some Android Auto disconnects that happen at very specific spots on the road, too, which Bluetooth is also in the 2.4GHz range, so this should work for this.

Would this setup work for me?

The issue was more that they needed to identify only the ones that illegally entered the premises, and separate those from people legitimately working there. They then had to cross reference those IMEI/MACs to camera footage of them illegally entering the building. Some of those dipshits were ID'd and picked up immediately, others used burners and covered their faces with masks (ironically) and had to be tracked similarly to how Luigi was caught; establishing a timeline of events with that same individual using other cameras in the area until you find one of them without a mask on.

I have been saying for a few years now that i think Microsoft is getting out of console hardware, and pushing cloud gaming and Game Pass to the switch and PlayStation marketplaces.

We're already seeing game pass on certain Samsung smart TVs, all you need is a Bluetooth controller, which means the mobile phone market is right around the corner.

Preemptive blanket pardon, which Ford used for Nixon.

It's pretty heavily suspected at this point that Russia helped him buy Twitter. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/oligarch-influence-hidden-ties-that-complicated-musk-s-twitter-deal/ar-AA1pqbR7

I say suspected because it's an American based VC that employs 2 Russians with possible Russian government ties. I would want stronger evidence of that link, but as i said, heavily suspected.

Mine still works, i wonder if it's just discontinued and no more support for it.

Here in Missouri, home owners insurance is starting to lose hail damage from coverage. Damn near 90% of the houses around my area have now replaced their roofs, and have the roofing signage out front. It's almost a running joke now: guessing which house will be next to get one, and counting the company's signs to see who's making a killing.

Because selling the data your SmartTV collects, is a massive revenue stream for these companies. Selling only dumb TVs wouldn't be as profitable as a SmartTV would be.

Also the ad space that could be projected to these, based on collected data is another massive revenue stream.

From this new prospective, it makes so much sense why this guy and other alt-right-ers come off as soooo fucking weird. I'm gonna have to look up that interview!

 

Edited for rule 10: NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, federal prosecutor and legal adviser to Donald Trump, was disbarred in the state on Tuesday after a court found he repeatedly made false statements about Trump’s 2020 election loss.

A New York appeals court in Manhattan ruled that Giuliani, who had already had his New York law license suspended in 2021 for false statements he made after the election, is now “disbarred from the practice of law, effective immediately, and until the further order of this Court, and his name stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of New York.”

Giuliani’s attorney Arthur Aidala said they were “obviously disappointed” but not surprised by the decision. He said they “put up a valiant effort” to prevent the disbarment but “saw the writing on the wall.”

The court said in its decision that Giuliani “essentially conceded” most of the facts supporting the alleged acts of misconduct during hearings held in October 2023. Instead, the decision said, he argued that he “lacked knowledge that statements he had made were false and that he had a good faith basis to believe the allegations he made to support his claim that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from his client.”

The court said it found that Giuliani “falsely and dishonestly” claimed during the 2020 Presidential election that thousands of votes were cast in the names of dead people in Philadelphia, including a ballot in the name of the late boxing great Joe Frazier. He also falsely claimed people were taken from nearby Camden, New Jersey, to vote illegally in the Pennsylvania city, the court said.

The order states that Giuliani must “desist and refrain from practicing law in any form,” including “giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice” or “holding himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law.”

Giuliani is also facing criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona over his role in the effort to overturn the 2020 election. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases.

He’s charged in Georgia with making false statements and soliciting false testimony, conspiring to create phony paperwork and asking state lawmakers to violate their oath of office to appoint an alternate slate of pro-Trump electors.

The Arizona indictment accuses Giuliani of pressuring Maricopa County officials and state legislators to change the outcome of Arizona’s results and encouraging Republican electors in the state to vote for Trump in December 2020.

He was the primary mouthpiece for Trump’s false claims of election fraud after the 2020 vote, infamously standing at a press conference in front of Four Seasons Total Landscaping outside Philadelphia on the day the race was called for Democrat Joe Biden over the Republican Trump and saying they would challenge what he claimed was a vast conspiracy by Democrats.

Lies around the election results helped push an angry mob of pro-Trump rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to stop the certification of Biden’s victory.

In May, WABC radio suspended Giuliani and canceled his daily talk show because he refused to stop making false claims about the 2020 election.
