There is a line of sight, which is only slightly obstructed by very thin bushes/branches. Someone posted about some TP-Link type brand of bridges with a range in multiple miles; so much further than is needed but would certainly do the job. Though, I saw some single devices from the same brand, OMA…something?, with stated ranges of 300-600 ft.

So, as long as; the very sparse branches don’t impede that range much; I can place it outside or it reaches through the external wall of the house AND the external wall of the small desired building; then I may get away with just the one additional device and the original device (if the Google pod doesn’t fight the use of a non-google extender as it’s link to the main network, which I suppose isn’t a guarantee).

I’ve informed her the network speed at the secondary building would be slower than inside the house after linking through each connection, but the desire to keep it simple for her and whoever she has come by to troubleshoot it in the future is more of a preference for her.

After talking with her today she is also not interested in drilling holes in any walls. So, confirmation there.

I’m not sure about digging or running lines.

I mentioned to the owner that the straightforward simplest solution is to run a secondary line to the house from their service provider. But that it’s an additional monthly cost as that provider will bill for a separate line of service, not to mention the recurring or initial cost of a modem. They weren’t wanting that and I mentioned I wouldn’t usually recommend it either because of that extra cost of almost $100 a month.

She is also 80 years old so I’m trying to find something which is as basic, and serviceable/replaceable as possible for whoever might come out to help her with it in the future, with the assumption it may be a less than technologically familiar person.

And it’s unlikely she’ll agree to drilling a hole in a wall for a cable as she’s a widow and the house was her husband’s dream home project. So, limited in options and trying to find some electrically powered device[s] to keep it simple.

Does anyone have an idea how these programs work? Is it just public profiles/posts they can see?

creating the possibility that the evidence would be destroyed permanently

This is sort of where I keep going back to in my mind. Like, I’ve seen things about supposed redacting or whatnot. So, like, what is there to be released if supporters of the Current Admins had them for so long?

Some like original copy of something somewhere that somebody secreted away?

And, how does something like that get proven to be…legitimate? Especially to a point of actionable repercussions?

I honestly just don’t understand how this all works. Hoping for the damn best though.
