People think I’m some sort of TV repair wizard but it’s very easy to fix up dumpster TVs if you have a little patience and space. Broken TVs fall into two categories - broken screen or broken board (doesn’t turn on, error screens, flickering). Stick to more popular models and when you find a broken screen, take the board and note the model. When you find a broken board of the same model, just swap it. It usually really is that easy. You can work in the opposite direction too and collect good screens waiting for good boards, but that starts to take up a lot of space quick because you’re storing whole TVs at that point.

You will also inexplicably find a fully working 55" TV sitting at the dumpster 10% of the time.

With the fog this sounds like some amazing zero context photos. Did you get any photos of the Cows of the Fog that you can share?

Make it a marathon and put on Come and See immediately after. Hours of fun all night

Weird way to say the on-board computer is Linux based, but ok. Link to the CVE?

These types of batteries are called wafer batteries because you just eat them

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it,” - Maxwell Planck

I’m not a fan of AI generated stills, but I’ve seen a number of AI generated music videos that are kind of fun to watch. It’s not so much the art itself, but the way it collapses from hallucination to hallucination repeatedly that just goes well with some music I guess. Theres obviously still a lot of work from actual artists to make it into a video and time it with music, and the music itself of course is still human (afaik). Here’s a few examples I’ve seen, I’d love to know what people think of this style specifically, as opposed to the AI slop photos we are getting bombarded with. Especially if you hate it, I want to hear about why!

Mormaid - Wet Summer

Probass Hardi - Polonyna

Elgrandetoto - Dinero

Die Antwoord - Age of Illusion

It’s real hard to press that button - its built into a locked briefcase and stashed in a bunker under the whitehouse. You also need a code for the button to do anything, I think.

Manufacturers need to put the cheap ass software on a cheap ass $20 stick. Stop fucking up TVs with it. Stop accepting any ‘smart’ features and stop calling them smart. They’re invasive advertisement platforms, full fucking stop. It is in fact NOT worth it to get a google TV, because they’ll pull this shit or worse next week. We had perfectly functional TVs for decades before this shit, stop acting like the only choice is to surrender your hardware.

Oh wow, you really didn’t realize? Yeah man this is a youtube channel for getting kids interested in science and technology, like the technology surrounding self driving cars and lidar. Did you see the part where he introduced the technology by taking it to Disney world?

Here’s a random video from crunchlabs, the company he created and advertises on ALL of his videos. This video shows his fan base enjoying what they got from crunchlabs.

You realize Mark Robers target audience is like 8 years old, right? He also references looney tunes and wile e coyote a couple dozen times, including in this thumbnail you’re losing your mind over. The thumbnail fits the theme very well if you ask me.

This video isn’t a rigorous scientific test. This is a children’s video designed to get them interested in the scientific method. Get over yourself.

I prefer to call them joint Russian/North Korean advances, because Russia needs to buy slaves from a pariah state to make any significant gains. As I understand, NK troops are only present in Kursk.

I thought the break would suggest two separate ideas, but in a sense it does help. Some spoofing can start ‘rubber banding’ between the spoofed location and the actual location, and if youre spoofing 1000 miles away, thats an insant soft ban. but if your phone never gets a proper fix on like 5 GPS satellites, you won’t rubber band.

I mostly used the damaged GPS phone to idly increase walking distance. If I set it to charge in a basement my character just bounces all around the outside of the house and I can wake up to a cool 10km walked. There’s better options for fake walking though.

If you’re interested in GPS spoofing, you can find a wealth of information by searching for ‘gps spoofing’ with ‘pokemon go’ tacked on the end. It takes an idea that otherwise makes you sound like a paranoid person and turns it into just cheating at a videogame.

Lol if anyone looked at my pokemon go data, they’d think I was some playboy with a private jet that visits Jakarta one day, and Tokyo the next. They also think I have insomnia and wander around in half mile circles all night. They think I have some insane government access when I visit chernobyl or tour the entirety of Italy right in the middle of their worst covid lockdowns.

I disassembled one of my phones and physically detached the extra antenna bits for the GPS, making it extremely unreliable, and a little aluminum foil on top can start to throw my location 500ft in a random direction.

Pokemon go provides direct feedback for gps spoofing in a way I haven’t seen available anywhere else. The game isn’t too fun, but learning where I can break GPS is a pretty fun game. The game of cat and mouse with Niantic detecting spoofers has been interesting to say the least.

If he rebooted his first show The Broken, I would watch every second. It was seriously his best work.

Edit: it’s not a reboot if he doesn’t bring back hacking with Ramzi.

When he was a tiny stray kitten, he ran under a shed to hide from me. He thought he was safe but his back feet were still sticking out. I grabbed him by his toes and now his name is Toes.

They did. They were also terrible and I moved out at 17.

Barron’s parents are without a doubt worse, he was 18 at the 2025 inauguration, and you still want to describe the situation as if he’s a small child getting dragged around by his legal guardians. He’s a little fascist under daddy fascists wing.

What? His ‘living life’ that’s ‘not a public matter’ includes standing behind the president of the United States as he’s sworn in. He deserves the utmost public scrutiny, especially considering three of trumps other children already take an active role in his presidency. They meet world leaders, but you just want to avoid looking at whatever sketchy shit this one might be up to. He had the option to avoid the public and decided to be another gremlin like his clown ass brothers.

Next time don’t get on the stage if you don’t want the limelight.

So like, if a hundred of us all filed through a store, picked up this one item, then set it back down, it would potentially be cheaper next week?

Is this the new protest instead of not buying from a particular company? Next Kroger you visit, pick up and set down all the nestle products you can find.
