Yup to the Microwave Oven and RF Q (Iv'e previously worked as a Radio Access Networks Engineer), the reason for the "Don't Ask" was to be fair in reference to that as in (Don't ask me, I have no Idea how this would actually work).
It may not be a Microwave, it may just be a regular oven, I dunno, but some of the ASCII data Iv'e pulled out of what Iv'e sniffed seems to suggest that there is some kind of Microwave cooking ability.
As for our emergency services, I seem to remember a long time back now, that the reasons sighted for moving to a secured channel for broadcasts, was because they got sick of people turning up at incidents to "spectate", and getting in the way of the services trying to do their job.
I know certainly, when I was growing up, if we heard sirens outside, we grab our bikes and try to follow them to see what was going on.

Hmmm, so have you tried to send it data? Or just reply a capture?

That many people listening in? I would suspect that in the scanner boards there would be a lot more questions from people in the UK then. More likely paranoia over the subject. More likely people just followed the flashing lights...Maybe they should encrypt those really be safe then.

I bet a lot of kids did that! Half the fun was seeing how fast you can get the bike going!
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Nah, not tried to send it anything.... there is still time though, I get the impression it's not going anywhere
When I get time I would actually like to try cracking the proto on my Thermostat too.
Like all the houses on the estate, it's around the 400Mhz area +- 20 or so to prevent too much over lap, mine I think is at about 405.
Apparently it's a 2 way protocol from the very limited info Iv'e been able to find online about Honeywell thermo control units, if it is, then it actually means I could probably control my central heating from my computer network, and thus from my phone
Again though, it's a matter of time, I just don't get much of it to do the things I want to these days, and end up spending time doing the things I have to do...

Depending on the thermostat you have, some have defined interfaces. I used to have a honeywell thermostat, and controlling it was pretty easy.

Netflix has seasons 1 to 6, but it's on season 9 now. No other streaming service in N.America seem to have seasons 7 or later. I finished up to season 6 last night. Oh well, hopefully Netflix or Hulu will add them sometime soon.

Get a vpn app (NordVPN, for instance) and watch on one of the UK streaming services like BBC iplayer.
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

Never heard of Doc Martin. Is it something I should look for?

Doc Martin - Wikipedia[^]
I liked series one, was kinda bored by series two, and haven't watched any of the rest. It was getting too predictable for me, but there are those that watch it eagerly. Takes all sorts!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I was very disappointed when I realized it wasn't Don Martin you were talking about.

I thought you were selling Dr Martens - which would have been a nice gift for my wife as it's 15 years she wants a pair of them.

It's also fun to see "Jen" from the IT Crowd (Katherine Parkinson) as his receptionist.

I once visited the German border town "Goch", I wonder if that's where the van Gogh's originated from ...

That was very interesting - so many artists represented, I wonder if there would be copyright issues, I hope not.

I think Google missed a perfect opportunity when they choose the name Google, instead of Giggle.
Just think, we could be giggling and doing Giggle searches, etc.!
