I checked before this comment and it is posted on the TED channel, not TED X.

I lost a lot of respect for Ted Talks when these guys were allowed to use theirs as an ad.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

I de-cased a samsung smart tag (basically an airtag) and stuck it in my deck so now I can ping it or track it if I ever lose it. Maybe consider something similar if you buy a new deck.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’d want. Thanks for the link.

That method of use would not replace what the garmin inreach does. I’m more looking for something to notify authorities of my location in the event of an emergency, rather than to communicate between hikers.

Oh nice, the only ones I’ve heard of before are the Garmin inreach and similar. Good to know about this.

I got into ham about a year and a half ago. Super interesting, I just didn’t have the time because I was in a pretty intense school. I’d love to tinker with meshtastic, but is that a solution for hiking? Would you need to rely on a node being within range of you in order to convert your message into sms or something?

I’m really excited for this. I’ve considered getting a licator beacon for emergencies while hiking and camping, but didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription for something I wouldn’t use every month.

Something tells me you didn’t read my comment.

Unless we want snapchat and other apps to require photo ID, how would snapchat actually know who is a child and who is an adult? Why did the parents not know or care that the kid had snapchat downloaded?

Parents seriously need to be more aware of what kids are doing on their phones. Why the hell is a 12 year old on snapchat to begin with?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I doubt snapchat requires photo ID in order to make an account. Besides requiring ID, it’s not clear to me how else snapchat would be able to know that she is a minor and that the perpetrator is a sex offender.

This article was from September, and so far I haven’t heard any updates.

I just played Spider-Man Remastered. Had a blast. Thought I might get motion sick swinging around, but it wasn’t an issue at all.
