I think you mean "a full featured, low power radio IC. Roughly $1 at aliexpress for something that's labelled the same" lol

What I'm talking about is a single chip radio, including all the low level stuff.

@thwr haha I meant that aliexpress is... not always what you think you're getting

NerdyDad should know this. The map of the DFW metroplex is worse.

Yeah, just got it

Ali is ok, at least for electronic components etc - You just need to know exactly what you want to buy

Doesn't matter, it is still full formed without those. Some news channels remove 183 so it doesnt look like one.

Lunch was weird today. I went to the same restaurant I always go to but later than usual and I was there completely alone. Then these 3 guys walk in and they are talking IT related topics. I work for the city, they work for the state. I heard the two older guys tell the younger one that they don't like linux because of the "CMD". They then said they don't think Linux will last another year because it's insecure. I almost choked on my food. This kid was eating it up too.

I mean, it could be but these guys would have to have the best delivery I've ever seen. They were very convincing. Maybe though.

Working for the state. Says it all. I turned down a state admin job while still working minimum wage style jobs trying to get into IT.
