    I agree with the image thing, I’m taking courses that require a lot of screenshots to be put into documents and it’s a bit annoying to do. Although, I get the feeling that it’s difficult because the goal is to give you more control and consistent results, rather than to “be easy”. I’ve had a ton of difficulty dealing with Microsoft office and images as well, but that is usually after the image is in there and I want to fine tune it. Also, I can grab an odt file from 15 years ago and it’s laid out exactly the same as when I first made it, I can’t open up a docx from two years ago without word messing up some part of the formatting.







  • there’s an “ai camera” that can tell you what you need to buy (though something tells me that struggles if your fridge isn’t set up like a stock image and is actually loaded with like food and condiments and shit like a normal person)

    What do you mean? You don’t individually label and color coordinate Tupperware containers every time you put leftovers in the fridge?

    *looks at three brown grocery bags of vegetables I didn’t bother to unpack and five rubbermaids, one upside down, tossed randomly in fridge*




  • You’re correct in your understanding, but one problem is that Lora isn’t spread spectrum in the traditional sense(s). It’s a narrow band signal that traverses over a wide band as it’s method of modulation/encoding. The FCC has regulations for direct sequence spread spectrum (entire transmission is spread out) and frequency hopping spread spectrum (narrowband signal, randomly transmitted within a range). Lora is neither, using chirp spread spectrum (narrowband signal travels up and down within it’s bandwidth).

    The ideas as I understand them in the regulations is that a full spread transmission has lower amplitude and isn’t strong enough at any frequency to interfere with other transmitters, and the pseudo random spread doesn’t stay anywhere long enough to completely interfere on any one frequency. Lora isn’t either, but it is low power and traverses it’s bandwidth quickly, so it most closely follows the direct sequence spread spectrum method if you remove your glasses and squint.

    This sharp transmission, but travelling over a wide range is what makes it able to transmit over such long distances. It has the signal to noise of Morse code, and interference tolerance of direct sequence spread spectrum.
