You mentioned ham radio
definitely fun! It's a process to get into it though, as you need to study/pass an exam, and then you need a radio. Radios range from cheap ($25 or so) in the VHF/UHF ("walkie talkie"-style) to more expensive for an HF rig ($1000 range for 100W HF). If you want to get into low power ("QRP") it can be much cheaper. You also need a fair amount of space for a good antenna setup...
There are tons of different communication modes, some without a computer and, like you mentioned, some that use computers. wsjtx and fldigi are popular programs.
Good luck!

You're just gatekeeping.
ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that
maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.
MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive
and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.
It's not all bad
remote work policy is now a major topic. You'd be laughed out of any number of job interviews for asking about remote work policy, whereas now it's a completely fair question.
With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.
Except that this problem doesn't specify distance between horseman, so I think it's a bit bogus
no need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they're there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn't resolvable (a person being a "single pixel" would have a different hue depending).
Dipoles are, effectively, not
so if you have a charged bit and another opposite charged bit, while an inverse relationship might exist between either one, the net effect is that it drops off much faster.
The thing with gravity is it tends to go one way, unlike, say, charge.
We're in the market for a kid carrying ebike, and while REI makes the most financial sense, I think we'll be paying a visit to our LBS.
As an aside, I tend to prefer Sports Basement. Have had better luck with their bike department, too. No idea if they're better from a corporate standpoint though.
This is the real big brain hack with decibels
you can use a linear scale, it's just that the units are logarithmic instead.
(Yes I know most people would call a dB axis logarithmic, it's just a silly comment.)
Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
My $4k piece of carbon and $3k hunk of titanium would like to have a word...
I would bet just about anything that the only reason profit margins could possibly be higher for a car is due to volume
which, if everyone rode bikes, wouldn't be an issue at all.
Absolute profit, sure
cars are more expensive, so they'll win out.
Look, if you don't want to listen to some random dude who thinks reading is cool, fair enough. But if that random dude also runs level three diagnostics on the warp core and can swap polarity on the main deflector dish with one hand tied behind his back? Yeah...you should probably pay attention.
