WiFi uses BPSK/QPSK/OFDM/OFDMA modulation.
LoRa uses CSS modulation.

This is about hacking WiFi hardware to make WiFi modulated signal intelligible to a receiver expecting CSS modulation, and have the WiFi hardware demodulate a CSS signal.
Thus making WiFi chips work with LoRa chips.

LoRa doesn't care about the carrier frequency.
So the fact that it's LoRa at 2.4ghz doesn't matter. It's still LoRa.

I'm sure there will be a use for this at some point.
Certainly useful for directly interfacing with LoRa devices from a laptop.
I feel that anyone actually deploying LoRa IoT would be working at a lower level than "throw a laptop at it" kinda thing

It's LoRa on 2.4ghz.
It's just that chirp signals are easy to decode from a lot of noise.
And they don't really affect most other modulation techniques. I think you can even have multiple CSS coded signals on the same frequency, as long as they are configured slightly differently.

LoRa is incredibly resilient.
It's just really really slow

The issue is with how aggressive Microsoft is about it.

Trying to download chrome? "Hey, are you sure you don't want to try Edge?".
Changing default browser? "Hey, are you sure you don't want to try Edge?".
Windows update... "We've done you a solid, because we know you want to use Edge".
I'm sure at one point, it was a warning in the security center that you aren't using Edge.
Also Teams (in sure there are others) will open links in Edge, despite what default browser you have set.

One of those morality Vs legality thing.
For it to be illegal it seems like the system needs to change

It's why no one can ever travel to the south pole, thus all videos/pictures of a 24 hour sun at the south pole are faked, so no one can prove the earth is not flat.
It's something like that.
There may be another backflip before the dismount to complete the Olympic grade mental gymnastics

Just point to the dictionary. "Draw your own conclusions, bro"

And there have been 5 people banned from GitHub due to racist and homophobic slurs, which violates Godot CoC and GH ToS.
I don't think these users were providing valid criticism. Never mind the fact that GH issues are not really the place to complain about some twitter drama.

Racist and sexist slurs, most likely.
You know, edgy 14 year old kids on xbox

Server hardware does.
I think dell Rx30 are only just getting to EOL, and it was released in 2015.

Although, buying an Rx30 before 5 years ago would be in the 10s of thousands.
Refurbished Rx40 and Rx50 are somewhat affordable.

I just want 12 tonnes of strawberry flavoured whipped cream, dude.
That's why I need such a big bottle of N2O. I'm a culinary genius

Oh, I thought it was hair die that was dripping down his face.
Make sense it was ichor leaking from somewhere

You are wrong.
Intel didn't design them to do that. Design implies intent.
They fucked up, yes. Not providing replacement/refund for damaged chips is horrendous. It will probably end in a settled class action lawsuit where everyone affected get $5, which isn't a good outcome.

But they didn't design them to do this.
