you can still use your phone to access your stuff, or use it as a hotspot for something more powerful.

I use wireguard on a rasp pi 4. That way I do not have to expose any of my services to the internet, but still have access. Install is easy, I used piVPN and selected wireguard (over openVPN). The pi needs a static IP so you can open it up via router/firewall settings, but then that is the...

beat me to it, but yea- we did this all the time with q3a special .config files to alter gfx and sound

There are always going to be trade offs, but if the idea of this aircraft is battery powered and can only achieve short flight times, then VTOL is going to be a better option when it comes to daily commutes and safety.

This does not excite me: the charging time and flight times make it inconvenient. I would have liked to see solar panels on the wings, so long as they are efficient enough to extend flight time. I do not see this replacing cars to ease traffic congestion because you still need an airport to...

It looks like Windows Hello is PKI based, and your face replaces your PIN. Can anyone corroborate my understanding of the underlying technology?
