In terms of signal level?

Well.. that amount of bars you can see depending on the real signal level is just a SIM configuration. In the "newer" networks they aren't configured properly yet.

In Germany telcos using 700MHz for 5G a lot (also for LTE in non-5G regions and sometimes with DSS). So they can create a lot of coverage on rural areas or building penetration.

Telefonica didn't set their signallevel-to-bars-parameters on their SIMs correctly yet. Even directly next to a antenna you only see 1-2 bar although the signal level is maxing out.

Just because your phone shows 5G doesn't mean it's connected to a 5G station. It also can only be a signaled flag from a 4G station.

5G SA isn't still available for the broad masses yet.. and they are talking of 7G?

I had the chance to test it in Germany with Telefonica as it can be activated for free. It saves a lot of battery compared to 5G NSA. But they still had smaller problems with hand-overs to LTE and GSM.

Colleagues told me that the 5G NSA battery consumption problem is pretty much a solved problem with other basebands and only Pixels are famous for suffering this much.

I played around with the LLM-Generated website (see past posts here) of this algorithm and the Gimp method.

It actually doesn't improve the readability of the letters carved in stone nor does it show any hidden details on the surroundings (at least in my very small amount of pictures). But that's not unexpected as they readability depends on the angle of light and shadow.

I have to look into my archives.. maybe there are some wall paintings on which this kind of algorithms excels.

Surprisingly it's working very good in finding living plants and separating it from hay.

Very Cool! I have a lot of 40MPx RAW pictures from the almost unreadable historic written walls in Delphi, Greece.

Let me test this with them.

A few weather forecast sites in Europe have them on their websites. It's just another forecast you can select and compare in an ensemble.

Problem is that the WN3 grid is still quite rough (5km) - but a that's a brutal improvement for many places compared to many other global models.

Quite a few country-scale models go down to a 1-2km grid nowadays. This is very helpful in complex geography like mountains and alleys.

For hardware/electronics I also recommend looking at the CERN OHL licenses.

They cover a very specific niche GPL/AGPL/etc. do not cover properly.

I'd more bet that they are the critical infrastructure pillar everyone is scared to replace in a super important system, lol.

Maybe one of it saves the earth rotation control algorithm which the Earth Rotation Service requires for shooting their hidden ion cannons to keep it spinning.

What kind of frequencies do these falcon trackers use? Any datasheets available?

Let us build FalconNogs (like Satnogs) with SDRs!

This is what I'm doing by now. Uploading the entire .pdf dynamically then giving it a pipe to ask questions.

Codex/Claude is much much much too expensive in relation to their limitations.

I stick to cheaper latest generation models on Openrouter (or EU-hosted providers when it comes to IP-protected stuff from work).

For reviewing schematic/boards I recently developed something for internal tests:

1. A frontier model (either Opensource or closed source) gets a load of text to review a Kicad project systematically

2. The frontier model can extremely "ask" a cheap Gemini vision model to give it data from datasheets or specs.

Main problem: the quality dramatically hits the shitter done once it falls back to "pdf2latext" due to complex tables.

It was even able to do complex ngspice simulations. But you must offer it all datasheet PDFs.

$1-2 of tokens saved me from $70-80 bugged PCBs.

We tested pretty much all available "AI" board and schematic auto-layouters in the market. All failed even with the most basic tasks.

On the other side the latest frontier models are pretty strong in writing embedded C + Assembler code and debugging it afterwards. It's fun to watch it writing crazy complex 'gdb' plugins in Python. This improved brutally.

You mean that this helicopter hovering about my home is looking out for me?

Sounds good!

I've been planing around with LLM-based trip planning for a very long time now as it fits my very ad hoc style of traveling very well.

But distances always had been.. lets say.. difficult.

Will test it with my upcoming trip to Greece then!

Can G3.7 use Google Maps for distance grounding?

Not directly related to your embedded Go bug, but maybe helpful:

What really sky-rocketed my debugging skills in embedded devices was learning to utilize the Python plugin interface of 'gdb'.

I love it for hiking, walking in cities and driving a bicycle.

AFAIR: the BE200/B202 only have one radio. So no parallel streams on two frequencies.

But they are the best cards around if you want to play with Wifi-7 on Linux. But always go for the latest wireless-next kernel + firmware blobs. Also they are not compatible with AMD mainboards (go for Qualcomm then).

Usually this rules are for experts who have to implement the limits. They should not be exposed to end-users.

That's a standard IoT usecase almost all telcos offer.

We have industrial SIMs with our own APN and get a IPSec tunnel to the Telco where we have a dedicated network to see our devices.

Industrial 5G is super expensive. Also almost impossible to find a vendor that offers all the nice protocol features (Low Latency, native Ethernet tunneling, etc.) in their infrastructure.

Any DECT (NR) stuff is super expensive if you build embedded software/hardware for it. It's basically Nordic-only.

Difficult within the EU due to ISM limits.

Maybe ok for your garden camera where the authorities just don't care. But no go for any industrial usage.

That's not controlled, seamless hand-over as we know it from GSM/3G/LTE/5G for 30 years now.

We basically miss all data (received stations/signal levels from both sides, Bit Rate errors, etc.) for making roaming decisions and then to softly connect them to an AP you want them to be on.

Enterprise WiFi is currently mostly "This is a list of APs you maybe can connect to.. have fun.. if you can connect we pre-seeded the AP with some crypto data, so it doesn't take ages to negotiate. Here's your (more or less friendly) disassoc. Fuck off bye."

It does somehow work for stationary setups - but as soon as you have mobile traffic (like walking around or machines moving) with multiple APs the quality hits the shitter brutally.

Currently this gap is being filled by industrial 5G with dedicated frequencies. It's crazy expensive.

You are not missing too much.

One of the core features (MLO) is currently mostly scam. APs/Clients negotiate the protocol (and it shows up in the status) but doesn't it to either increase robustness or bandwidth (by combining/switching between two frequency bands).

Also the driver quality is a huge mess.

(We tested it using the latest generation Cisco Enterprise gear but also with Prosumer stuff like Ubiquiti or TP-Link)

But honestly: we need WiFi-8. It finally brings infrastructure-controlled roaming which is super important for any VoIP service.

No. They have their own API endpoint.

Have a look at Tensorix for EU.

Let me reword this for you: super cheap Asian frontier models can cause harm to your overpriced business model.
