lmfao this post got me a "YOUR POST IS MARKED IN OUR SYSTEM AS MATURE" nastygram

It's a picture of my shoe, and I suppose, my foot, the most SEXUAL of body parts, 100% covered in a sock. There's literally no skin in the frame, I did that on purpose

I think I mentioned the #Chyron Lantern64 card I bought... Well this is it working! At the moment it's set to Free Run, I need to provide a video source to try out the overlay features.

Looks like doors are the hard part of building EVs. Investigation over "intermittent failure of the latch and handle preventing the opening of the driver, front passenger and/or rear doors. " and "emergency override mechanism also fails to open the door" at EV manufacturer Fisker. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2023/FISKER/OCEAN#investigations

My office spent almost $2,000 on a pan-tilt-zoom iot camera for streaming earthquake press conferences, and it's never been used because it got infected with the Mirai botnet malware after they connected it to the internet.

I don't even see anything in the manual for how to do a factory reset so the camera can be fixed and used again.

I wonder how hard it is to make my on logitech wireless keyboard.

like, not a keyboard that works wirelessly, that's easy and I've done it already (the cubekeyboard).
but one that works with logitech receivers.

maybe I could buy their cheapest wireless keyboard, destroy it, and then wire my own hardware up to the keyboard matrix?

#Squarepusher's "Detroit People Mover" is such a good song. It demonstrates that electronic synth music can convey feelings other than "party", that it can deeply move people. Even without any lyrics.

Also, I need to get some presets like these. I really enjoy the rich, buzzing, sonorous sounds. That short, repeated melody (e.g. at 1:42) that could very well serve as a PA announcement chime in an empty airport.

Merry Trans Day of Visibility! I'm trans and purple and I have a cool crab pride flag. #tdov

I need to look into the game Cannon Fodder.
There was a thing with my copy, possibly because it was pirated, where the gun noise was just a short clip of static.

But it would changed and be different noises sometimes, based on other games you'd played

playing with a linux-based terminal replacement and it turns out it has telnet open, without any authentication. you just get root.

also it has an HTTP interface... which you can use to reflash the kernel

I discovered quite by accident right now that my bike picks up enough of an electrical charge to shock me (my inner thighs) when I ride it underneath the very high tension power lines that cross over the river bike path.

I want to come back with a multimeter one day and see how much voltage there actually is between me and my bike

Plus side of getting a Roomba: It works well. Convenience.

Downside?: Having a 3 in 5 chance of it activating hide and seek mode in the middle of the night and now you get to check every curtain, odd corner, and low furniture piece to find out where it gave up trying.

Whee, installed a new kitchen exhaust vent. I am, however, going to put a layer of rated Shurtape 181 over that, I like that take for ducts a lot better than the standard stuff sold locally. #disasterremodeling

I was looking up a power adapter on ebay for an old toshiba laptop, so I could see the pinout diagram on the adapter, and I just noticed now that they're selling it for 199$

this is a laptop from like 1992. The laptop itself is not worth 199$. Why the fuck would you sell a power adapter for that much?

I got the mostly-salvaged-river-parts e-bike, aka E-xpand-o-bike, into enough shape this afternoon to take it on a ride around the block.

I still need to fabricate a mount for the battery and the controller and do all the cable routing, but it works!

And it looks peak mad scientist on meth right now, so I had to show a picture to the Fediverse.
