GNURadio and HackRF on Surface Pro 7+

First went to https://www.gnuradio.org/ then to install RadioConda for Windows. After installation from Start menu type "RadioConda prompt" then "HackRF_info" (this assumes the Windows HackRF driver was installed by downloading and running Zadiq and listing all USB drives. Search internet for this. I guess the most important part before creating GNU Radio graphs by typing "GNU Radio" at the Windows start menu is that "hackrf_info" gets typed at the Radio Conda prompt. You will likely need this information when configuring your Osmocom sink graph object.

ND-105X GPS Dongle Attached to Surface Pro 7 Windows 11 Tablet

Old GPS Dongle. Drivers found here on ISO image. Software and drivers at source. Get GPS Tools for Windows to see if it is working. Connect to satellite by going near a window or outside much like you would do with the WAR Android app.

Thought I Bricked a
 XT2041-4 Moto G
Power 2020 Mobile Phone ...

... Until I downloaded the Motorola Mobile USB drivers, reboot into fastboot by holding down power and volume down buttons, opened a command window in the folder C:\Users\[my user name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools and typed "fastboot -w" followed by "fastboot continue".

I can't find a TWRP recovery image for this model. Do I dare install https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/softwarefix? No not worth the hidden ware. I have other rooted devices.

Dragon OS Live USB with Persistence

After using "diskpart" in Windows 11 to clean and format the USB drive, let's see if this works:
