What Is LoRa®?

LoRa (short for long range) is a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. Semtech’s LoRa is a long range, low power wireless platform that has become the de facto wireless platform of Internet of Things (IoT). LoRa devices and networks such as the LoRaWAN® enable smart IoT applications that solve some of the biggest challenges facing our planet: energy management, natural resource reduction, pollution control, infrastructure efficiency, and disaster prevention. Semtech’s LoRa devices have amassed several hundred known uses cases for smart cities, homes and buildings, communities, metering, supply chain and logistics, agriculture, and more. With hundreds of millions of devices connected to networks in more than 100 countries and growing, LoRa is creating a smarter planet.

However, LoRa uses unlicensed subgigahertz radio spectrum and the LoRaWAN standard is driven by the non-profit LoRa Alliance, which operates in a similar capacity to the Wi-Fi Alliance.

LoRaWAN® Standards Documents

The LoRaWAN® standards documents are developed and maintained by the LoRa Alliance®: an open association of collaborating members. To fully define the LoRaWAN® standards, and to ensure interoperability among devices and networks, the LoRa Alliance® develops and maintains the following documents:

Link Layer standard

Back-End Interfaces standard

Firmware Update Over-the-Air standard

Regional Parameters

Certification Program

While these standards define the technical implementation, they do not define any commercial model or type of deployment (public, shared, private, enterprise) and so offer the industry the freedom to innovate and differentiate in how a LoRaWAN® system is implemented.

The standard defines the end-to-end architecture and so provides seamless interoperability between manufacturers, as demonstrated via the device certification program.

If I understand correctly, this means technically only the physical layer of the network is proprietary technology, and link-layer upward are open. So technically proprietary but for all intents and purposes generally open?

I mean… she voted for the healthcare subsidies to expire by voting for the Big Bullshit Bill.

I feel like she’s just playing the usual games here. She could have not voted for the BBB. The Democrats are simply trying to roll back changes that were made in the BBB.

So, was she just an idiot who didn’t read the bill (possible) or just playing the rotating villain (more probable imho).

Looks like he’s a potential terrorist because he’s saying the USA flag represents Nazis. Better lock him up for “anti-American sentiment.”

We can play these stupid fucking games, too.

Trump is going to be in charge of two of the longest US government shutdowns in history by a long shot. The fact that we can’t just kick all the bums out and replace them when this kind of shit happens is a travesty.

I’m betting this will at least be a two month long shutdown if not indefinite shutdown because the Republicans want to break government so badly they’re just willing to keep it shutdown at this point.

“We broke the government, which proves government doesn’t work, which is why you need to trust us (the people who broke it) to save you from government” has been their whole shtick my entire fucking life.

For sure, but like expecting average people to understand the more technical side of Linux right off the bat, expecting average people to even understand that is an option is, frankly, elitist. The vast majority of humans just don’t even fundamentally understand the difference between “Windows 10” and “Windows 10 LTSC” and we’re not heading into a future in which they will all suddenly turn around and become computer literate when a vast amount of the world is barely regular literate.

We have got to stop expecting so much from average people and do a better job helping them.

I know maybe that’s what you intended to do, but if I was an average person, I wouldn’t have had any clue what LTSC and IOT meant without a lot of filling me in. Just food for thought, we have to spoon-feed this stuff to a lot of people, and be kind to them when they struggle with it.

Americans can’t have that, and are forced to upgrade regardless.

No, I’m in the USA, this is what they’re offering in the USA, a year of extra security updates if you log in with an MS account and backing up the system to the cloud.

I’m actually a bit surprised the EU would allow it instead of just forcing MS to give everyone another free year of updates.

But I still see a potential Windows 7 situation happening, where they try to force the change, but so many people stay on Windows 10 and just accept the lack of updates that Microsoft will be eventually forced to push more security updates to not appear to endorse letting millions of machines become parts of botnets.

You can still get an extra year of security updates, though

If you submit to Microsoft and log in to your Windows 10 machine with a Microsoft account and allow them to backup your system into the cloud.

Wow, big dawg. Yawn. Keep going, it’s my day off. Let’s hear what other pathetic insults you think will make me feel bad about myself while instead making you look like a loser.

You care enough to keep commenting back. Someone who didn’t care would have given up this chain a while ago. Keep lying to yourself, kid. (Also, you just admitted you cared enough to go look and notice it’s one person, do you even listen to yourself?)

Right, the person referencing fucking batgirl as if superhero comics are some super secret underground cool shit isn’t the normie pretending to be cool (pro-tip: superhero comics have always been normie trash). You sure have a lot of free time to try to get in the last word for someone who is out there doing big things with their life. I at least have the excuse that I know I’m a regular lame ass not trying pretending to be anything else.

Yes, and like batgirl, your little stories about yourself are just as fictional.

Anyone with actual access like you’re claiming wouldn’t be stupid enough to be telling random internet yahoos about it to prove internet cred on an unencrypted pseudo-anonymous forum. Whistleblowers don’t risk it all to prove something to a guy named “Snot Flickerman.”

But you do you, at least you live up the the lunatic part of your username.

This has gone from silly to straight delusional.

Oh yeah, the question was threefold: What are you doing to fight for rights other than acting like an edgelord on the internet so much so that you deserve to say others deserve their rights taken from them? Secondly, do you think that putting pictures of generic attractive gothy women as your profile avatar somehow gives you more street cred among the neckbeards online? Last week your avatar was a different woman entirely. Finally, with how stupid both of those things are, this has to be satire of teenage edgelords, right?

lmao

This has got to be a satire account right?

Then those people don’t deserve freedom anymore.

Don’t cut yourself on that edge.

You can connect ADB via wifi and push updates via command line. Honestly trivial to automate when you’re at home.

I have read you will still be able to install using ADB and I figure I will do that since I have done that a lot in the past anyway.

Actually digging deeper, I just came across this from late last month (3 weeks ago exactly):

https://docs.bsky.app/blog/plc-directory-org

So they’re making headway towards removing the PLC from their own control and putting it under a more “neutral” third party (that’s going to be open to debate). I wish they were working faster on these aspects though, because I think the AT protocol is very nice, I just am hesitant with how it’s currently organized. Once there is an independent PLC, that’s a step in the right direction, but we also need things like PLC mirroring and alternative PLCs that can federate with the initial “neutral” PLC.

You can use your own PDS (Personal Data Server), but to my understanding, you’re still using the Bluesky maintained PLC (Public Ledger of Credentials) which manages the DID identifiers. That still makes it very much centralized and while you technically can self-host, it’s still somewhat tied to the BS company.
