Great Idea. I really like the thought behind this, especially the BaaS, and BaaSRV


You could always somehow make the vibration motor a "movement feature", and call the phone a "remotely controlled vehicle"

;-)

Chatgpt- Yes, using the vibration motor to make small position changes on a remotely controlled vehicle would fall under the category of controlling the vehicle. If you encrypt the control signals that dictate when and how the vibration motor activates to achieve those position changes, it would be allowed under the FCC rules for encryption related to remote vehicle control.

Since these encrypted signals would only be used for the vehicle's movement or positioning, this approach aligns with the regulations permitting encryption for controlling remote vehicles. Just ensure that any non-control communications remain unencrypted to fully comply with ham radio rules.


I'm 99% confident that wouldn't fly and the definition of encryption is broad enough to cover even a "loophole" like this. I believe you'd have to demonstrate that you're actually "controlling" the phone rather than just performing communication and I'm not sure the communication with a vehicle actually is covered by the encryption cutout. My understanding is that it is so others cannot take control of the vehicle you're operating (which may leave you liable for whatever damage they cause with it, or at least makes that more ambiguous)


Was just thinking this same thing this morning.


Things like this would instantaneously make the world a better place.


Dope.

-Theoretically, a rough, highly compressed, and fragmented snapshot of Earth could be stored in a DNS file system, but it would be incredibly inefficient.The snapshot would need to be heavily simplified, perhaps focusing on lower resolutions, basic geographic data, or abstracted metrics rather than detailed images or real-time data.


Military Draft


Sad.


They must be making a killing for whomever makes the recorder.. Data storage being that low for such a thing is shocking. Why have anything at all?(which isn't a question one would think would ever cross this topic)


What is m.2 2042?


2042 would be 20mm wide and 42mm long.

That's unlikely to be what was meant. It's probably m.2 2242, a shortish but "normal" drive size in the embedded space.


It's a connector for an internal SSD.

As others have said, it was probably supposed to read "m.2 2242" which is physically in-between the size of the 2230 drives that the Steam Deck uses and the 2280 ones that most modern desktops and laptops use.



The M.2 standard allows module widths of 12, 16, 22 and 30 mm

Notice no 20 mm width is allowed as part of the M.2 standard. The device specs are likely a typo.


And then there is EDSFF's E1.S 30110 (30112 really).


Probably M.2 2242 (22mm x 42mm) with a typo.


So what, the Russians told(the classic speil) to him that he's within nuke range. A bowl a day isn't going to keep that away.


I cannot decipher what you are saying. Can you expand?


When he went to talk to "Russian official", and they had mentioned providing star link to Ukraine would have possible nuclear response.


The same starlink that's still available in Ukraine and the UK, US and Ukrainian military didn't deem it worthy to pay for?
