You can text someone hundreds of miles away with no cell service, no wifi, and no servers in between. All it takes is a cheap radio board and open source software like Meshtastic. Meshtastic turns the board into a node in an encrypted mesh, capable of receiving and relaying information across vast distances.

Wifi signals can be used to see your body through walls. Using open source software and some cheap hardware, you can measure the disturbances in wifi waves emanating from a router. Those disturbances are measured and converted into body shapes to tell you where someone is in a room.
