Pretty cool, some #researchers have been using #gps to #detect #northkorean #icmb #launches https://twitter.com/armscontrolwonk/stat.. The #python #code is here: https://github.com/tylerni7/missile-tid Very cool work!
Interesting, it appears that it may be possible to build an #alternative #gps based on #starlink 's #lowearthorbit #leo #satellites https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/10.. It would be really cool if this could be a #secondary #free #service they are able to provide, perhaps #backed by #governments for a #reduced #cost .
Pretty cool #gps #tracking #project https://hackaday.com/2022/09/18/tiny-gps.. I #regret passing up an #opportunity to work on something similar maybe 10 years ago. I was too young to appreciate how cool such projects can be.
Interesting, I never knew #gps was so #cheap these days: https://hackaday.com/2022/01/20/ntp-serv.. This will be useful in creating the #linuxpda #project #maps and #location #system ! As #gps is #passive , it also won't reveal any #information about the #user either - unlike #gsm !
Interesting, apparently people are now looking at using a #quantum #accelerometer #imu to replace #gps https://hackaday.com/2021/11/15/vacuum-t.. This still requires occasional #groundtruth #location #updates - but it has potential. I have long been in favour of these more #passive #locators ...
Holy hell, #australia has literally gone insane with a #state #phone #app that contacts you randomly throughout the day and uses your #gps to decide if you are at your #house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAp72IYl.. If you fail to pick-up, they send #police after you to #fine you. Fuck that.
Looks like a viable #alternative to #gps could be #tgs https://microgps.cs.princeton.edu/ I really suspect we will need a #satellite alternative super soon. A single #space #collision could entirely wipe out the entire system as it exists.
Yeah, no #narc #car for me thanks: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0830.s.. #aardvark raises a great point about these #mandatory #gps reporting capabilities #required for all new the cars in the #uk and #eu - most likely everywhere else too. I'll build my own car without the #spyware thanks. Where I go and what I do is entirely my own business.
I keep thinking that the killer #device I *really* want is an #internet connected #pda with #gps and perhaps #lora ... I want to build out essentially what is a #wiphone - my hope was that #pine 's #pinecom would be this device, but I really suspect the only way to achieve this will be to build it myself after this #phd ...
This is a great use of an #epaper #display https://hackaday.com/2021/07/06/e-paper-.. Ideally it could do with some #triangulation features such as #gps and #magnetometer - but it's a great start.
