BYOMesh – New LoRa mesh radio offers 100x the bandwidth

Announcing the BYOMesh! We've been hard at work designing what I believe is now the worlds SMALLEST & most CAPABLE LoRa companion dev kit ever! It combines the tried and true SX1276 allowing access to the full sub-1GHz ISM band all mesh enthusiast know and love, along with the SX1281 providing high speed 2.4GHz LoRa all on ONE tiny board. https://shop.dataparty.xyz/products/byomesh @dataparty @rfparty #BYOMesh #LoRa #MeshCore #Meshtastic #MeshTNC #Reticulum #BLE #SnoopUntoThemAsTheySnoopUntoUs

US–Indian space mission maps extreme subsidence in Mexico City

One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of the fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite can track real-time changes across Earth's surface from orbit, unhindered by clouds or vegetation that impede optical sensors and higher-frequency radars.

A Treasure Trove of Fossils Rewrites the Story of Early Life

Remarkably preserved fossils found in southern China offer a fascinating window into what life looked like at the end of the Cambrian explosion, with half of the species uncovered being new to science.

Bad Connection: Global telecom exploitation by covert surveillance actors

Our investigation uncovers two sophisticated telecom surveillance campaigns and, for the first time, links real-world attack traffic to mobile operator signalling infrastructure. The findings expose how suspected commercial surveillance vendors (CSVs) exploit the global telecom interconnect ecosystem, leverage private operator networks, and conduct covert location tracking operations that can persist undetected for years.
