Imagine the consideration for the Trump admin, should we pay this guy a million bucks for this attack that gets us into the command system of Iran, or would that be unethical. Of course they don't consider that at this time.
My conspiratorial mind thinks they're doing this deliberately and using the resets to mask things so people can't tell their limits are reduced. The $200 / month plan covers about 2 days of usage for me right now.
Cloned horses are becoming really common in polo — the best polo player in the world won the Argentine Open back in 2016 with six clones of his favorite horse [0][1]!
As an individual this is mostly true unless you're touching broadcasting proper. As a business this is absolutely not true and noncompliance is a ticking time bomb that will bankrupt you.
As someone in Southern California who uses HAM, this is both true and not true. There's an older gentleman who has already spent time in jail for sitting on frequencies without a license repeatedly. After he got out, he jumped right back on it. He's got tens of thousands if not more in unpaid fines, but as far as I'm aware they cant get blood from a stone.
Another anecdote, dozen or more years ago a friend had a fault cable modem that was spitting out radio traffic I assume on some important frequencies in a dense area. They got a knock on the door from an FCC team who were tracking the interference down.
If you want to do this at the $1 price point, you can on RP2350, albeit with some limitations. In particular, it maxes out at full speed (12Mbps). The trick is to use the on-chip USB peripheral for one, and connect the other to GPIO pins backed by PIO.
This works today with tinyusb and pico-pio-usb, but I'm also playing with a Rust port which I'm hoping will have higher performance.
$8 ish gets you an ESP32-S3 board with PSRAM, flash, and two USB-C ports. The PSRAM and flash are specifically used for this LLM project. I can't find anything like that with the RP2350 for $1.
Such large advances shouldn't be locked up away from local hardware.
