Comment on LILYGO's T-Deck Pro Is a LoRa- and 4G-Capable Smartphone-Like All-In-One ePaper Dev System
yournamehere@lemm.ee 4 weeks agodont get me wrong, i love lorawan. the device is just super niche and the real life usecase does not really exist or justify creating more ewaste. in desaster regions people are either poor and wont own the device or local phone company can set up mobil towers quickly and it wont matter.

You can also get a cheap truck radio and it will have tremendously more range than meshtastic....most of the time. In a real life death situation, it would also be more reliable.
Don't get me wrong I love meshtastic, but it's more for hobbies.
