Wireless engineering concepts are simultaneously interesting while also making me want to take my own life.

It's quite the dichotomy.

All the different ways we've managed to chop up EM waves to implement the incredible wireless technologies we use daily is fascinating. But the math... Dear lord...

If you know a little electronics you can build a high power IR led circuit to generate super powrful IR signals that would work for this purpose.

Physical cable to the nearest cell tower?

Windscribe has a Websocket tunnel option. Haven't been on a network that's been able to block this mode yet.

Yeah Micky D's blocking root was enough reason for me to avoid installing it on my non-rooted phone for ages, because of the implication.

Did eventually cave though, saves me a few bucks once in a blue moon when I do go.

Planet earth 2 (and also one), for the sheer eye candy.

Win 10 because I'm stuck in my ways

I'm not a front-end dev by any means, but man is Svelte nice to use.

I use the websocket tunnel connection mode in Windscribe for those networks that block VPNs.

Wow this brings back memories, I think one of the tracks here was included with Windows 7.

I'm honestly surprised this feature is still around. Don't get me wrong, I love that it's available when I get the chance to use it, but it's so rarely, I question whether the development effort necessary to keep it going is really worth it.

Edit: completely forgot the value Dex has for Samsung tablets. Happy that they make this feature available on phones too.
