1 Pi, 2 WiFi

For those requiring multiples of WiFi adapters recognized and functional on their Raspberry Pi- A large variety of trouble shooting/ general setup(for those lucky types who things "just work" for them...)    and further trouble shooting for the others where things just can't, aren't, may never be as simple as plug and play- it is more; play, plug, play, un plug, reset, plug, play play play, plug, reset,restart computer since all resources have been tied up in all the tabs/ windows open for a solution so that at one weird odd moment down the road the thing might just work and you may have no idea what even was the fixx since it just did,,,,  Or you just give up having done enough cursing to no avail- questioning the saving that are seen when considering DIY or Buy? Sometimes all we need is that 1 forum thread... ...being:  https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=49283 Solution and Trouble Shooting Issues with 2 WiFi Adapters/ Interfaces  Running at the Sam...

RTL-SDR-MANY-MUCH-ALL-MORE-EVERYTHING-BEGINNING-END-ALPHA-OMEGA

  History and the discovery of the RTL-SDR , which started out with a comfortable life as a RTL2832U , or RTL2838 - the latter, though mentioned in many components, not truly existing, rather, being named a RTL2832U (might be the reverse...). In attempts of  demodulating DAB/DAB+/FM a fella named Eric Fry put the above into the mix which further brought us the RTL-SDR More on the discovery and history of  the RTL-SDR.      Apps for the RTL-SDR Many applications and libraries which are using either librtlsdr directly or some part of the gnuradio source which is also considered as gr-osmosdr: Name Type Author URL gr-pocsag GRC Flowgraph Marcus Leech https://www.cgran.org/browser/projects/gr-pocsag/trunk multimode RX (try first!)

Overlay Cheat Code

  For the creative types- and not creative types. Depending on the time of year, I can be both, 1 or none. I see these cool pod casts or streams(what i'm gonna show you may not be the best....this, though you could maybe sneak it in, wouldn't work[smoothly] for anything live since there is a tiny bit of pre set up required) where some animated graphic all of a sudden comes to frame- Emphasis on content. Maybe a cartoon "BANG" emphasizing an explosive moment.  Or, a cheesy "Click like & subscribe" I go off topic here about some YouTube stuff- skip to the next paragraph to maintain on topic...(Wonder what viewers of archived videos will think years down the road when there isn't anything of the sort. Maybe YouTube isn't a thing...remember AOL? Yahoo? barely.... "like & subscribe" What is this prompt that I am constantly told to do?"- off topic, but it'd be an interesting ability if, on the YouTube platform... or others... sec...

The Robots Within

Robotics has always interested me. Growing up (and to this day), I'd be pulling all my gadgets apart—mechanical, electrical—I didn't discriminate. I wanted to see and learn how things worked, discover their inner workings. To this day, many items that come my way don't have a chance; I end up with a screwdriver wrenching away at them. Some survive; others... not so much. It's this odd fascination, curiosity—mainly the journey, but the finished product is so satisfying. Because when something gets taken apart, my mind races to all the interesting projects I can conjure up with whatever is discovered within. Kids' battery-powered toys are some of the best! Some can actually be pretty freaky once the cute fur/fluff is removed, leaving an exoskeleton of animatronics. Inside out, taking our child hood toys "apart". Seeing what is under the "skin". And, not really what you are used to seeing when taking them apart...    Jason Freeny shows us the anatom...

Next Level AI and It's Open Source, Uncensored

Exceeding many current AI benchmarks—even those of high-performing AI models—DeepSeek is uncensored, open-source, and as accessible as possible. Given its processing capabilities, it can be run on personal setups. There are even examples of users running DeepSeek on mobile devices. Unlike systems processed on remote servers, DeepSeek runs entirely on the device itself, eliminating the need for external queries. Several stripped-down model variants are available for lightweight setups, though performance may be limited. DeepSeek’s open-source nature ensures full transparency—no hidden layers or proprietary black boxes. It embodies what many hoped ChatGPT would become. Numerous papers and reports benchmark DeepSeek against industry leaders, often surpassing even top-tier AI models by significant margins. While running DeepSeek at heavy capacity incurs costs, its affordability is another standout feature—costing pennies compared to ChatGPT. However, the free online version I’ve been using...
