As opposed to Arabic speakers in the other party?

Where is this "community" you speak of?

As it happens, every person is an influencer, regardless of followers (..) or content.

The people who are influenced, or said differently, the sphere of influence is dependant on random factors like content going viral when it unexpectedly gets liked and reposted by others.

If you're asking what size of influence generates income, the answer depends on who is paying.

I'm guessing it's because of concerns about quality control.

There are at least three legal ways to do this. CB radio, ISM frequencies and amateur radio. I say legal because the radio spectrum is heavily regulated because every transmitter affects everyone else to more or lesser extent.

You can buy CB or ISM band radios and get started.

Amateur radio is a better option in my opinion. There are many more frequencies to experiment with, people who can help and people to talk to.

Amateur licensing is different in each country, but an introductory licence is often no more than a weekend course and exam. I know of nine year olds who have done this. It's not hard. No Morse code required either.

With such a licence in hand you can use things like JS8Call, CODEC2, Olivia, WSPR and hundreds of other protocols to communicate using just a radio and a computer.

Disclaimer: I'm a licensed amateur in Australia and have been since 2010. I hold an introductory licence, here it's called a Foundation licence, and have been having an absolute blast with all that I can do.

If you have specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Simple solution .. don't click.

For which purpose?

The elevator, the telephone on hold music, common areas, public areas?

Each of those is different and licensing will also likely be different.

Your joke aside, which I thought was funny did remind me that as it happens, the Swiss do an amazing job in making things internationally accessible.

Take for example their spectrum management system that not only allows you to search for categories of users, handles kHz to MHz data entry, gives access to the legal provisions and then the legislation itself, does so in four languages.

Yes and no.

At the frequencies that HDMI operates, the path a signal takes can interfere with that signal. It's why sometimes a cheap HDMI cable causes issues, where one certified for 4K or 8K doesn't - the requirements to carry more information, means higher frequencies and thus better shielding.

A connector is a potential location where signal can be affected if the connection between two conductors is poor.

In general, less connectors and less joins will give you a higher chance of success and less chance of interference, but it depends entirely on what type of distance and signal you're trying to send across it.

In general, the shorter the connection, the less loss.

It might be that a single longer cable is worse than a connector and a short cable.

If you already have a connector and a HDMI cable, try it. If you have issues, start by reversing the HDMI cable. It won't make the electrons reverse or anything like that, but the connection might be slightly different.

If you have neither, I'd get a cable without a join. Buy from people who take returns.

Budget will be the determining factor for most people.

TL;DR; try it.

Looks interesting. Has anyone used this?

How about going after the 57 companies responsible for 80% of emissions since 2016?
