What am I even seeing here... Is it a wireless leash for a dog or something? Apparently I have heard nothing about this branch of tech, because I recognize none of the products you just mentioned. Man I feel old.

    Its a low powered long range radio that runs meshtastic firmware!

    It allows people to share text-based communications without needing the internet or cell towers, think of it like walkie-talkies that can talk to multiple people at once and automatically relay messages from one radio to another, creating a mesh network.

    You're not too out of the loop, if you're on Lemmy!
