In the USA, the FCC takes serious action against anyone using a frequency jammer[0]. On the FCC's website [1] you can find both fines issued [2] as well as details into the investigations they carried out.

It feels like a classic FPS video game with the additional of being able to physically duck and peek corners.
I really dislike that these articles associate "VR" and Facebook's "meta" as being that same thing. VR is general purpose, and has been around forever. Meta is a VR App, and a bad one at that.
On the consumer end, VR has been truly viable for a little over 7 years now. In 2016 I got a HTC Vive and my mind was blown. Since then, I've given up pretty much any game that isn't VR.
For those looking to get into VR, all "cell-phone" based VR is a gimmick, as are more "stand-alone" headsets. Facebook (Oculus) VR headsets are decent hardware BUT with all the spyware and anti-features you can expect from Facebook. If you want a good gaming experience, there are basically two good models on the market right now. The HTC Vive Pro 2 $1399 for the full kit; or the Valve Index $999 for the full kit.
After you have the hardware, there are multiple game stores, StreamVR is generally the best.
Most of my time now in VR is spent in the game Pavlov VR (in which, you also have legs.) which is a Counter Strike GO replica. Other VR game are also listed on Steam.
Since now Apple will just assumes I'm a pedophile waiting to be caught, I'm moving.
I've had iPhones since the 6, never a real Apple fan, but I did appreciate their stance on privacy so it was a simple choice to have a "phone that just worked". Prior to my iPhones I used a Samsung Galaxy that had been flashed to CyanogenMod and then tweaked to hell and back for privacy, but it was slow, buggy, and because of the tweaking, buggier and even slower. I loved my iPhone =(
However, the invasion of privacy is too much. I just listed my iPhone XS Max for sale on a local site tonight. Bought a used Pixel 4 XL off eBay, it'll arrive in a few days, when it does, I'll flash https://calyxos.org/CalyxOS on it.
And balance will be restored.
On an iphone, easily.
1) Goto maps;
2) Press and hold a location on the map to drop a pin; or tap your current location pin;
3) Swipe up or tap on the info dialog, bam: Latitude and Longitude displayed.
I desperately want an electric motorcycle, but all available options are jokes.
Take for instance the Livewire. $30,000 starting price, that's nearly twice as much as a brand new BMW for a much smaller bike.
Then look at the specs. 140 miles of range (asterisk asterisk asterisk), 95 miles of probable range under "ideal" conditions. Likely less when there's rain or wind.
The thing only has a 15kWh battery, that's pathetically small, then on top of it, they claim to support "level 2" charging (which is a term that needs to die) but then only charges at level 1 speeds (120V @ 15A). Or in other words, ~12 hours to charge from 0 to full.
Then, it only has a top speed of 95MPH. I might as well just ride an electric bicycle.
Just to compare to a $16K BMW:
* Top Speed: 184 MPH
* Range on Full: ~400Mi
The moment someone creates an electric motorcycle with 300+ miles of range, a 150+ MPH top speed, and a price tag under $25K. I'm writing them a check that day. Until then, GTFO with these lame toys.

A time-consuming primary alignment was done on the ground to bring the inertial components to a high degree of accuracy for the start of a mission. Once in flight, a âoeblue lightâ source star tracker, which could detect and find stars during day or night, would continuously track a variety of stars as the changing aircraft position brought them into view. The systemâ(TM)s digital computer ephemeris contained data on 56 (later 61) stars. The ANS was later modified to speed up the ground alignment and even start it in the air.
Instead it was simply a PC sitting in the back corner of the restaurant running a piece of software. The software was called âoeMannaâ, version 1.0*.
Manna's job was to manage the store, and it did this in a most interesting way. Think about a normal fast food restaurant. A group of employees worked at the store, typically 50 people in a normal restaurant, and they rotated in and out on a weekly schedule. The people did everything from making the burgers to taking the orders to cleaning the tables and taking out the trash. All of these employees reported to the store manager and a couple of assistant managers. The managers hired the employees, scheduled them and told them what to do each day. This was a completely normal arrangement. In the early twenty-first century, there were millions of businesses that operated in this way.
To solve the problem, Burger-G contracted with a software consultant and commissioned a piece of software. The goal of the software was to replace the managers and tell the employees what to do in a more controllable way. Manna version 1.0 was born.
It's a setup by the US Government! Mr. John is one of the more upstanding citizens of the world!
There is no way that the guy who claimed "Coronavirus cannot attack black people because it is a Chinese virus" and has the cure for all diseases which he found in the jungle. Is guilty of anything. This is a big-pharma coverup!

I agree with your statement, and I don't care if they exist or not.
I do not agree with the constant untrue refrain of "Poor Parler, all they wanted to do was support free speech". They were heavily biased to the right and highly moderated what speech was allowed.
