Aaand.. tada..
I have achieved my goal of creating a video streaming rover. The new router works great and will probably be my new goto for robo networks.
The only thing I didnt do was put some sonars on it but they got dropped for complexity.
I ordered some parts for next project which will be an r2d2 kinda thing and Im planning on voice recognition and sound.. should be fun.
Onward and Upward
Yessss
I was a bit worried about rf interference cuz its all a big electric field so for test I put new router worst possible location and the vid is very respectable. Aaaalmost realtime and Ill take it.

Weekly output: customer satisfaction scores, Qualcomm Quick Charge, TiVo OS, The Onion
This week started at home, then took me out of town first to New Orleans for the Online News Association’s conference (the ninth I’ve attended), followed by Los Angeles for Cranky Dorkfest (my overdue introduction to that avgeek meetup).

I had more time than I thought I would Monday to write this when jury duty turned into a roughly 20-minute exercise–they seated the jury they needed right before my reporting time.

One of my editors asked if I could pick up this embargoed item, and I had enough slack time in my schedule Tuesday to make that happen.
9/12/2025: Xperi’s TiVo OS aims to bring search and simplicity to TV makers, Light Reading
After a show-floor interview at IFA that gave me about 95% of what I needed, it took a few more days for Xperi’s PR firm to confirm a couple of details, after which I wrote and filed the piece for my telecom trade-pub client during some downtime at ONA Thursday afternoon.
9/14/2025: The Onion CEO Unloads on AI’s Joke-Writing Skills, Says Infowars Purchase Still on the Table, PCMag
Having seen Ben Collins on a panel at SXSW 2019, I thought he would make an engaging, funny speaker at ONA. He was, but he also made some serious points about the Trump administration’s frequent hostility to dissent and the need for journalists to resist that pressure.

Article on Polish tech news site on how Streamyard screwed over our tiny not-for-profit (and, no doubt others) by automatically upgrading us to a plan at twice the price.

#streamyard #startups #tech #BigTech #streamingVideo #videoStreaming #video #streaming #USA #asshats
Just cancelled our Streamyard subscription and deleted our account.
The asshats automatically switched us to a plan that was 2× the price (from ~$44 to ~$88) with a single email’s notice and no authorisation on our part and when there was a new plan that almost exactly matched our current one with almost exactly the same features.
By the time I clocked on, they’d already charged us for several months so I wrote to them explaining that what they did was wrong and asking them to refund us the difference in the plan costs and place us on the plan that was almost the carbon copy of the one we were originally on.
They refused. And admitted no wrongdoing.
Finally, they offered a one month refund.
So I accepted. And now that it’s safely in our account, I just cancelled our subscription and deleted the account. I have a very fucking short fuse for asshole unethical American startups thinking they’re so bloody smart for fucking you over.
Anyway, beware of Streamyard. Not sure if they’ll pull the same shit again but I’m sure they’ll pull some other shit some other time.
