@thor Java, the language of I'm having trouble finishing.

I haven't developed an application for Android since they swapped from Eclipse. It's not that Eclipse was friendly but it did have the sdk and NDK ready.

I'm impressed with microkernels on a regular computer. It's a new experience but it's really flexible. I think it's an L4 Microkernel but I could be wrong.

@PawelK Depending on how the power is distributed, the internet connections could be delivered through the power lines. It's one I usually forget, I never saw it used in the US.

@igelsQTs That's pretty cool.

Okay so I thought one project was going to be more difficult than it is. I'm already making progress on it. It's just going to require a few very close cuts to disable a troublesome feature. It should just disable that one thing. Physically removing it would be difficult but it can't be used without those connections.
That's disappointing but I should have expected as much.

It can be disabled and that's good enough for now!

@igelsQTs We have a big nation and cars have been associated with freedom. It's a way to get away from everything.

If one wanted to get deep about it, it was a metaphor about being closed minded to new experiences or fear of the unknown. He had the financial means to get a vehicle and go places but he chose not to. It's very much like his virginity.

We do love our vehicles and always have. Modifications are going to be standard on many vehicles. Fuel used to be inexpensive too so now one might as well just swap the gearing to lower rpms, turn up the boost and run more alcohol. It's not uncommon for such changes to increase fuel economy and performance.

@inference Ah that's not so bad.

@PawelK @Wookhash They've invested heavily in RISC-V. I remember when they manufactured the arch especially for India's military.

That's going to be so many cores to get that performance goal.

@PawelK Yes because they only have to cause enough interference to make it unreachable. It might not be reaching the satellite but filling the air with interference in that frequency. It shouldn't travel very far because those links are very directional.

@inference It's not going to be painless but it should be a minor annoyance at most. That's the same vaccine they used at my old University. Take it easy today and tomorrow. You might have a headache or feel a little ill and that should be the worst of it.

How many shots do you have to take? Is it just the 2 shots?

@inference How do you feel?

It seems like I need to make a change in my tools if I am going to have any success in my projects. I was hoping that I would never need to go this route but I think it's called for now.

It's not optimal at all and I'd rather have a useable device the same as it was from the store. Enter different controllers, protocols and interfaces if needed. If the controllers aren't IP then the protocol is IP and maybe both of the above with the interface being IP.

At least it won't be challenged. Refuse to play their game. I'm going to revisit some former projects and see how valid they could be. I'm not above using a scalpel on traces or removing components. It's time to check them again.

@thor It used to be seen as a miracle without many downsides. It's disturbing how bad these chemicals turned out to be.

I'm pretty sure that cotton was still treated heavily and bleached.

@PawelK It's not difficult to track down a signal that strong. If they are jamming satellites then those jammers are going to be easier to find. Probably under guard in a secured area. They likely have their own power but perhaps not. They might be able to be damaged with an electrical surge.

@thor Android also moved away from the one thing that Java did well on every platform. Android had to change the GUI portions and mess up the language to the point where it was far more complicated than it should have been.

Dalvik was a huge leap forward for efficiency and performance. They removed a feature that made Java worth learning to implement flashy graphics and then made it more efficient. Why not use a better language?

This is one of the few compliments I will give Apple. Their version of C and use on all platforms was more effective and made it better to develop for. That is if one already had Apple products, development experience and a developer account.

@PawelK One thing that would help in that situation is a well structured meshnet and optical connections to the US. It's similar to point to point radio but with lasers. Easy to set up, tear down or move. Enough links could be constructed to have some basic access. Government equipment would be scanning for radio waves.

Existing infrastructure could be piggybacked or cables buried and sent to different locations to make the links more difficult to find. The meshnet could be propagated with inexpensive devices that might not need to connect outside the country. Easy to deal with losses and relatively easy to keep authorities guessing.

It wouldn't work forever but the resources needed to track down all of the new sources would make it more likely that they wouldn't be able to keep them all knocked out.

The cool processors that one might be able to find in China.

Sunway
OpenSparc variants
Loongson
MIPS variants
RISC-V variants
Hybrid designs and mutant cores

China has some really cool designs.

@igelsQTs A converted chest rig with two flashbang pouches, aid kit, mag pouch and utility pouch. I think that's what they are. It's a different style than what I'm used to seeing.
