hackabus Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 My antenna was looking a bit boring so thought I'd make use of the stickers I was sent :) https://ibb.co/nggQUR https://ibb.co/jiSAw6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok real talk, I've seriously considered buying an antenna like these before, how much better are they compared to shorter ones? Is it something worth having beyond its comic relief?

It doesn’t help that it’s on a comically small ‘puter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Objects for scale, but it's 23 inches long. https://photos.app.goo.gl/CHJVPILAKDBeyrjf1 I made this one from LMR-400 microwave coax cable. It's only something like 9dbi, so anything is better really, I just wanted to make another antenna. I have two of these, one with rp-tnc and another with standard N connector. Used to use them back in the beginning of the wifi wardriving days. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ScJGpv2Ha03PRTHx2 I kinda miss this laptop. The keyboard glowed in the dark, which is nice when you live in a place that's dark half the year. It also had a night vision goggle safe screen, super dim, which was handy when it sits in the passenger seat at night. Most laptops today are still too damn bright on their lowest setting.

Kinda funny, my phone has 10 times the storage space, 24 times the memory, the processor is 100 times faster, with 7 more cores, 4 times the screen resolution, probably 6 more hours of battery run time, but at least they were both water proof!

Get a stand-up case, an OTG cable and a USB Bluetooth adapter that goes to a small keyboard and mouse and you're set! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of the Nokia phones that ran debian, that was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
