My camera solutions are basically raspberry pi + usb camera + outdoor junction box. Software is Raspberry Pi OS + motion. When motion is detected, script is run to send the image to cloud and to notify user through telegram, signal, MQTT etc.

Setup is too power hungry to run on batteries and solar, but it's easiest to setup with loads of flexibility

For battery+solar solutions I'd check for ESP32 based camera chips. However software can be a real bitch for uninitiated, even if vibe coding.

Even my wife would check out that rack.

Never tried myself, but big boys say 1-2km, depending on ambient noise levels, if no major obstacles in the way.

With a proper custom antenna you can track bluetooth devices from larger distances

I've been holding my fingers crossed for Trump jr, but no luck yet.

nrf52840 I presume. ESP32 needs a bit too much battery for a bow.

Too bad if you look like someone in the watchlist. Every time you see boys in blue...

He becomes a "Sheldon" without any of the positive traits.

Maybe we can get a cheap shahed drone.

I played first the Wing Commander + special operations with 8088XT 10MHz, 768kB RAM system. FPS was 20 when things were quiet, but when the shit hit the fan it was below 10.

I have one of those ~~friends~~ acquittances. Glow in his eyes when he talks about Elons great deeds. He also just bought a Y-model, because Elon was treated unfairly, even though he's in large debt due to a grand business opportunity that went south.

All was pirated, because nobody actually sold games. Some shops specialized in electronics slowly started having random C64 titles. This was one of the first ones I ever saw.

Never had actual original covers on any of my pirated casettes.

Game was shit.
