I spent over 100k sats on 2 pieces of junk good for nothing but a landfill, because of retailers and other websites and random people lying about LoRa mesh protocols being “open source.”

The goal was already to spread the word about lies these retailers and other related sites spread, e.g. gaslighting users about end-to-end encryption, but there’s no point using the network to spread the word about the lie of being open source. It’s a fool’s errand, the corporations already scammed my money out of me and they’ll just use me to make even more money while I try to tell people to stop wasting the money.

So now I have a SenseCap and a Wio Tracker L1 Pro shipping to me for nothing except to scrap for parts like the batteries, and throw the malware transceiver/computer parts in the garbage so nobody can use them to spread this piece of shit malware cult.

Have fun downvoting/removing/banning me, to the majority here moronic enough to side with the scammers even after reading the truth.

      Thank you for confirming you were lying

      My debit card does not accept transactions from that retailer at all, even in USD, let alone CAD

      And that is not a standalone device or even a device you can pair with a cell phone for anything beyond a very temporary very short-distance link

        Hey, just be be clear once again. Fuck you bud. Seriously go fuck yourself with a rusty pole.

        But just in case anyone else is reading, you can absolutely flash this thing with the reticulum rnode software and run a standalone LoRa client capable of receiving and transmitting text over whatever network you are capable of interfacing with.

        I happen to have paired mine with a micro-pc so I can have additional capabilities, but this is not at all a requirement. Mine is paired with an Rpi zero2w and runs a node on the nomad network as well as a full propagation node on the LXMF network.

        With a bit of tinkering (and zero fucking money or proprietary software) I’ve made it accessible on the clear web as a TCP/LORA interface for the reticulum network.

        I’ve spent more and done more because I felt like building my own infrastructure for fun.

        If you want to not do that, there is another version of the linked product above but with a 3d printed case for another 5 bucks, and you can literally just get that and use it.

        Holy fucking fuck. I hate this guy so much.

            Yeah… It has a USBc plug.

            You weren’t one complaining about 40 bucks. If you want a screen and a battery you’ll have to buy those. Sorry they don’t come with the 9 dollar computer chips that already provide all of the functionality.
