@Genen I thought the Twitter employees were witnesses.

@ndz 1: what the iPad wants is her password, not the sim pin. There is also another password for iCloud, which is not what the iPad wants now.2: if everything fails, the iPad can be reset with iTunes. If you can log in on iCloud, you can probably find some of her data there.3: Apple is far from perfect, but in practice your mother has the choice between Apple and Google, so there is that.

@ndz If you have an Apple store where you live, they will reset it for you. Or you find someone with iTunes. At the price the iPad are, it is a bit silly to trash that machine.

After checking the contest calendar from the DARC, I found out to my surprise that there does not appear to be any amateur radio contest next Sunday, the 23rd of July. If the calendar is correct, this would be the only Week-end day this year without contest activity.

@ndz So a credit company finds that so many consumers love credit? And it calls it "expanding one's purchasing power"?

@RATPAC @abraxas3d @alper I know little about emergency communications, but I am always puzzled to see this addressed as a single problem. To me, it looks as a bunch of different problems with very different technical solutions and therefore the skills are very different. I'll gave a few examples to show how I see it.

@abraxas3d @alper @RATPAC First: search and rescue operation. This simply needs a bunch of people with VHF handhelds and maybe a dispatch station or an ad-hock relay. There is no extreme time constraint, you can get equipment on vehicles, only relay and local communications are needed.

@abraxas3d @alper @RATPAC Second: major disaster as what happened in Puerto Rico some time ago: relays and towers down, roads damaged, need for long-distance communication. That is the time for the HF guys, if they still can get their antenna high enough. There is also limited need for local communications.

@RATPAC @abraxas3d @alper Third: local disaster in a developed country, e.g. high rains in the Eifel in Germany: roads and power are cut. Network operators, which run cellular systems, can't ship generators around (roads are cut). Only local communications are needed, but for the general population (and not just a few licensed amateurs). This would have been helped by a local lora / meshtastic net (which could run a few days on solar), less so by amateurs.

@alper @RATPAC @abraxas3d That last example also introduces technology (lora / meshtastic). Amateurs seem -to met- still living in the 80s with analog technology and voice communications. But the world has moved forward, off the shelf devices allow ad-hock relays, text messages and routing to the end user without a trained operator.

@abraxas3d @RATPAC @alper @dj3ei That is not one the best publications from the DARC, I am afraid. While hamnet is a thing in Germany (and I am really impressed by the network), one cannot really access the whole Internet with it, as it routinely requests encryption (https).Maybe they just mean "talk with someone outside of the black-out zone with Internet access and ask them to fill the emergency online forms", but even that seems silly.

@RATPAC @alper @dj3ei @abraxas3d Providing large bandwidth to everybody in emergency situations is impossible today and will be impossible in the future as dictated by physics. Bandwidth needs SNR, which means power. In emergency situations, power is limited or there would not be an emergency.We can offer SMS type messages to everyone on solar and batteries, Lora does that today. We could mandate the implementation of similar systems in cellphones networks, yes.

@abraxas3d @dj3ei @alper @RATPAC But we can't and we won't be able to offer LTE download speeds in emergencies to everyone, this is never going to happen.

Please do not ask me to watch youtube videos.I don't like videos, they normally take 10 minutes to tell me stuff which can be written in 2 sentences.I am not interested in "influencers", I don't believe someone's opinion is more valuable because of more followers.I won't like or follow, because I don't have a google account.I hate advertisement, either official or slightly disguised as a video.Thank you.

Alternatives for video lovers:1: post link to peertube, a user managed, decentralized video platform or2: at the very least, write a short summary of the video you send people to so that they can check whether it is worth their time to watch it.

@ftg The market for handhelds is predominantly corporations, mostly security / guards. Usually the grounds are too large for handhelds to give sufficient coverage, so a relay is needed.So, for a firm, the options are either:-licensing a pair of frequencies, installing and maintaining a relay-using LTE.The second option is normally a lot cheaper.

@GrapheneOS Eventually, you will have to talk to the European commission.Europe (including France) is discussing about moving away from US-controlled phones operating systems. Therefore Europe needs a safe, robust and privacy protecting OS like graphene. I don't need to convince you, you know the drill better than I do.This is not possible without that same OS allowing criminals to hide. So what? The criminals always hid, the police has other means to get to them.
