C has seen some shit.

Ive only skimmed the intro, but it sounds like they are modifying the victim devices? If you can do that, why not just delete the EM shields, or install a "clipper chip"?

When shaking their hand, a little tongue will go a long way to show them that you're a team player. /j

Relax, deep breath, and take your time answering questions.

Good luck!

Keep going until you can tie a yoyo on the end. Chicks love yoyos.

Abortion. I have a penis.

I agree thats how it should be, but the licencing here in Aus doesnt line up with that.

The knowledge involved in the actual licencing isnt actually that useful for actually operating the radio. It was mostly tailored to designing radios from the ground up, and it was basically late highschool electronics.

The knowledge you need to operate the radios properly is all available online.

In my case, I am using handheld radios on the CB bands. I have limited the power correctly, but because they are capable of more power than allowed, that makes them require a licence, even when used in normal CB bands. It doesnt make sense for me to waste multiple Sundays to get a licence I am not actually going to take advantage of.

So here in Aus, it is just beaurocratic bullshit. And like I said, if it were online, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I don't count forums the same as modern social media. The are social places of course, but much more tight-knit, much less algorithmically ratfucked. Even 2003 Myspace and 2004 FB were much better places than what they have metastasized into.

Maybe around, but I don't think it was ubiquitous? Even then, ADSL was pretty bad, and I wouldn't call it broadband by today's standards. But that could just be Australia lagging the world :)

I believe the internet was much smaller then. It existed, but most social hadn't really begun yet. I still only had dialup.

9/11 was 2001, Facebook was 2004. So definitely a different place.

I agree in general, but not every country has a simple and easy licencing system. And if your just acquiring radios for shit-hits-the-fan scenarios, rather than regular use, expending the effort for a licence doesnt make sense to me.

In Aus, its a multiday in person class, with exams at fixed times during the year. And I've seen the course work, its mindnumbingly easy, it should be an online multiple choice. I would do it in a heartbeat if it were online.

Plenty of people do are still doing ham radio.

There isnt much risk being unlicenced, enforcement seems sporadic and unreliable. I own a bunch of handheld radios that ideally I should have a licence for, but for road trips it hardly matters.

But at the same time, getting licenced isnt expensive or difficult, so you may as well just do it. The only reason I haven't is that I don't want to waste a bunch of Sundays going to a class to listen to year 10 electronics.

The $155 is heat pump, 89 appears to be dessicant. I own the 155 one, and I don't think it would keep up with a humidifier, but its definitely a heat pump.
