When I did it I also printed out some coloring sheets in order to obfuscate the code so it couldn’t be read through the envelope and acts as an identifier in case I lost access to my account. I also paid with leftover Australian money I had.
You can just use remote desktop into Windows. I used to have a headless PC setup with a GPU so that my wife could play Sims 4 over the network on her ancient laptop from the couch.
Definitely don’t forget about Christmas decorations. A decent Christmas tree is at least a few hundred. My wife has the Hallmark Hogwarts Castle and all five characters that go on the tree. I checked them on eBay and they sell for around $650.
You could do the same thing without using a cell network.
That’s farther than a cell phone. A cell phone might get 3 miles maybe more if you have the high ground. It’s a lower frequency and therefore has a longer range. There are both public and private gateways for LoRa. So you can use it even if you don’t own or operate a gateway.
I meant that they don’t have to use a cellular connection, they could use something else if they wished. LoRa is a two way data connection designed for low bandwidth, long distance. Range can be anywhere from 3-10 miles depending on obstructions/obstacles. There are other similar protocols out there.
You don’t need a cellular connection for long range, low bandwidth communication. There are networks such as Lora that don’t require a paid subscription to use.
Put a knockoff air tag in your car and half of this is solved for $10.
Any news on the “pro” line? They were installed on business PCs and had additional security features built in. For instance there is a 3600 pro model.
