    The administration is negotiating a federal preemption of state AI laws

    It’s soooo much fun watching States’ Rights be either the most important American tenet ever or a stumbling block to progress, depending on the issue.

      It’s like the big State’s Rights argument before the Civil War: whether slave states had the right to force free states to enforce slavery.

      And we all know what happens when you tolerate the intolerant.

    The Internet is mostly garbage at this point, hardly a loss to walk away. I’d rather beef up my esp32 networks with people i actually want to talk to. T decks all around!

      Can modern phones be modified to do this? I feel like few people want to buy $60 hardware… But phones should be capable, maybe with an sdr dongle?

        Seems like it should be possible with some phones, but the support won’t be there unless it is open source software. You can repurpose an existing antenna to broadcast on the right frequency, or have an adapter that plugs into the power port if your phone supports that kind of thing.
