Local hilltop #Meshtastic node (not mine) suddenly lost range. Root cause analysis suggested cows from adjacent field took a dislike to it and rendered it horizontally polarised!

An 'AI' marketing tool sifts through my social media posts and sends me a targeted offer I can't refuse.
Do you think rosin-scented bath oil would sell?
My new range will be called "Burnt Rifa."

This is a new one for me.
eBay has just been in touch. The cheap-ass SD card reader I bought via them may be trying to kill me (chemicals).

The #AmericanExpress chat help service I have just tried to use was either being driven by an AI bot with a severe and surreal comprehension problem, or a human who'd been smoking something they shouldn't. Gave up. Will speak to a sober human tomorrow.

Just because you've put a # Meshtastic node on your roof or up a pole it should NOT be set as a "Router". That can affect local mesh operations badly. Read the guidance here: https://meshtastic.org/blog/choosing-the-right-device-role/

If 2024 was not a great year and you're dreading what 2025 will bring for you and this planet, just go hexadecimal.
Happy 0x7E9 everyone.
Doesn't that feel better!?
