Dario recently forced me to create an account to continue using a blood sugar monitor I already own (😡), so of course I gave my name as "Fuck Off."

This turns out to have been an amazing decision, because they inject your name into their marketing emails. 😂

Everyone likes to complain about the price, but there's nothing like buying off-brand Lego to make you realise how good the real stuff is

@BadgerandVole microwave links are pretty linear, which limits range unless you go high. if you have line-of-sight it should be possible, power required increases with range. specs I can find seem to show that being linked *to* an optional microwave link, presume for backhaul to provider.
would have been a pretty nifty and not too costly way to get cell coverage over a few miles of water I guess.

Pay phones are disappearing to make it harder to escape the matrix

@BadgerandVole reads like a point-to-point line-of-sight link maybe, so see if there's a matching one there (or take a walk in the direction it points if there's cabling into it).
also, if cabling, prob avoid standing in front of it just in case it's still powered up. the word "microwave" is used in the powerpoint that pic comes from, so directional 2.4GHz cookery is an option :D
