ARRL FCC Comments

 

Since we heard from our ARRL rep this week, I thought I would send out a link to the recent ARRL comments submitted to the FCC for possible future changes.
?
The change to? technician privaleges is something I would like to see implemented as well as the removal of the limitations on amplifier gain.

Re: Meshtastic

 

Yes that looks like it.? The one I received the antenna connects to the standoff near the Solar Panel.
Just got it in the mail last week and got it programmed last night.?
Looking forward to testing it after the rain clears and I get it mounted.

Recently, I read an article about the new AI software that is in every Windows and Apple computer and something shocked me...

?

Sure, the new, high-tech features are super convenient, but no one is talking about how this technology could be used against you.

?

This caused me reach out to my friend Glenn Meder (a world-renowned online privacy expert) and he confirmed my concerns...

?

Your computer is not private.

?

In fact, these companies are ACTIVELY using their operating systems to spy on you! Anything you do on your Windows/Apple computer is automatically "compromised" by their system.

?

And AI is making this even worse.

?

Windows recently announced that they are releasing a new AI "tool" called Copilot+ that will be in all of their operating systems.

?

One of the core features of ¡°Copilot¡± is the recall feature in which it will take a screenshot of your computer screen every second and then A.I. will analyze it.

?

In other words, your computer will watch every single thing you do, and it will UNDERSTAND everything that you do.

?

It will have a perfect memory, which will allow it to pull up anything that you read, type, or do in a microsecond.

?

So, that brings on the question¡­

?

What liberty will you actually have if you are being watched and analyzed every second of the day?

?

Of course, Windows says this is only to help them "personalize" your content, but I'm sure you know the real reason why they are doing this...

?

They want to collect as much data on you as possible! They want to manipulate you, censor information, and know where you stand politically.

?

And you might be wondering, is Apple any better? I mean, they do use "privacy" as one of their selling points.

?

Well, they're just as bad as Windows.

?

Big tech has teamed up with big brother to create a digital surveillance empire. And Windows/Apple are key components to it.

?

Now is absolutely the time to get private.

?

That¡¯s why I asked my friend, Glenn Meder, an online privacy expert and freedom fighter to hold a class on this specific topic.

?

The class is titled:?"Your Computer is Spying On You... Here's How You Can Stop It."

You can?

?

The class is going live this Wednesday, February 26th?at 8pm ET / 6pm MT / 5pm PT.

?

I'm excited for this class. I think it will be VERY eye-opening to what's going on behind the scenes.

?

Feel free to invite your friends, in fact I think this is a very important message to spread.

I hope to see you there!

?
