5 channels here!
Well, technically. They drop out more often than not so its essentially worthless. To get decent reception, I’d need to go to a motorized high gain directional.
Its been quite a few years since OTA has been a realistic option for me, and why I have had a media server since Netflix only offered DVDs by mail.
It is actually!
Basically only the clergy could read and write, so they handled accounting and acted as scribes to nobles and the monarchy.
It split off like 600 years ago or so
Edit: a few extra words added in, I’m going to blame the keyboard/autocorrect just because I can.
Clerk, BTW.
A cleric is a member of the clergy (and typically the healer in an adventuring party)
Price? Tiny/mini/micro PC
Simple sensor use? ESP32
Complex GPIO? Arduino is still a cheap option if you dont need it too standalone.
Straight up pi-alikes? OrangePi is my preferred
Most of what I personally use is esp32s and tiny/mini/micro. TMM for servers and services, esp32s for sensors, interfaces, prototyping, etc. If I need something fully standalone thats going to go in a rack or whatever, needs to be small and have all the GPIO, thats where I’ll use an orangpi, clockwork, whatever. Ive even used a tinkerboard or a Jetson (client paying obviously, because screw those prices and nvidia).
Demonstrated clearly during the pandemic when they prioritized sales to businesses over anything else.
Ehhhhhh hopefully not everything.
I really, really, really hope not everything.
