meshtastic_distances
Local service using a connected meshtastic device to show information about nodes seen in the mesh, including calculating distances, sorting on the number of hops as well as color coded map display of the mesh around you.

I'm quite Popperian when it comes to science. I refrain from having strong opinions on things I don't know anything about. I dive deeply into topics I feel the need to understand.

So if the AI bubble bursts there will be a shitload of GPUs and memory consumers can buy cheaply to run better local AI models?

@nopatience I wouldn't have known about it in that detail either unless it so happened it's part of a presentation I'm currently doing for a customer :D
However, the argument could be made that cybersec products with "admin access" should be class II, not I, requiring third party assessment.

@nopatience I think this is exactly what the CRA tries to do. It's all about the classification those security products end up having. If they're class II, they will need third party assessments to be able to sell in the EU.
