I bought a t1000e “tracker” hoping that I could use it to track my bike if it got stolen. Well despite it being called a tracker and having a mode called “tracker” it doesn’t really work as a tracker. It turns out it’s really more of an external radio for my cellphone. It gets me onto kind of a city wide chat channel. Nice but not what I was after.

The really frustrating part is that I think the network and the devices can support a decent tracker …but it’ll take the right combination of dozens of confusing settings. I gave up after about two months of trying various combinations. I even went to a meshtastic club meeting but everyone there agreed that my tracker would not really… track. Sigh.

Just one guy’s opinion and with just a singular goal. If you’re into Ham radio or like the idea of low power radio chirping communicating across great distances… then jump right in.

Sync. But I’m an old guy with habits that are hard to change

So neat

Ummm Trump is megalomaniac authoritarian wanna-be king and Vance would only be a dubious improvement…which is why Trump selected him. Vance has no chance in an election.

Wait, what’s a “private” Facebook photo?

Yeah that’s real hot glue & electrical tape holding it together and I’m sure the vape companies are making high quality circuits…

Slightly less dull but I took that same light, added a circuit board from a disposable vape and an extra battery from another vape … and made it rechargeable.

Pfft

Heh

Wow poor guy. It seems like everyone wants to screw you. But on the other hand, how dumb to take this guy’s money once and miss out on years of good business from him. And the lack of recourse for him to recover anything means he and others won’t try again.

Charge time sounds great, but what about the number of charge cycles (I.e. longevity), the article did not mention that.

You lost me

One down, several more deplorables to go

I can only hear the tense mismatch

Fail. My clamp was not enough, had to reglue and add pocket screws
