#TV-signal based #BPS tested as fallback for #GPS — digital TV infrastructure could come to the rescue if #satellites are compromised
Broadcast Positioning System (BPS) works by adding an #ATSC frame to output, and this will usually provide timing accuracy to 100ns, which is good but not quite as good as GPS (~10ns). However, for BPS positioning, you will need to be in signal range of four transmitters, and even then, accuracy will be in the order of a 100-meter radius.

How to Limit Your Exposure to #Endocrine #Disruptors

So when the high-end canned product makers say there's no #BPA in our can, which is the biggest source of BPA, they really have switched to using its analog cousins #BPS and #BPF which are just as bad for you. Also BPA makes plastic stiffer & is an #estrogen analog whereas #phthalates are an #androgen analog and makes plastic softer. You want neither in your diet.
