WiFi signal strength in Tunnels & Subways.

AI Thread Summary
WiFi signal strength is notably low in tunnels, subways, and underground areas, leading to a lack of wireless network access during travel. Technical solutions, such as the implementation of "leaky feeder" systems, can enhance connectivity by providing continuous WiFi and phone service throughout these environments. While some tunnels utilize this technology, many do not, indicating that the issue is not a technological barrier but rather a matter of implementation. Identifying specific tunnels that lack adequate wireless infrastructure could help address this connectivity challenge.

TL;DR Summary
WiFi signal strength in Tunnels & Subways.
As we see the WiFi signal strength is very low as observed in Tunnels, Subways & Undergrounds while we travel in a train or walk. We do not get the wireless network.

Can there be any technical solutions for increasing the Wireless signal strength in these areas?

Can this be considered a technological barrier?

Many tunnels have a "leaky feeder" system that provides continuous WiFi, phone and radio throughout the tunnel.

I do not believe there is a technological barrier, it has simply not been implemented in your sample of tunnels. Where are the tunnels that need it ?

Thread 'Windows 10 Now Not Supported'

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...

Thread 'Another trick with Blender'

After playing around a bit with making star maps, I found another video which introduced me to another trick that can be done using geometry nodes. This one involves fluids. For background, Blender has a fluid physics simulator, which, as the name suggests simulates the behavior of fluids. What this person did was to use geometry nodes to convert the fluid into a point cloud. Then he added a turbulence force field to "stir it around". He was then able to extract the velocity information...
