Oh finally, something I can store my yield in.

No, that’s a safety feature. It’s like saying that behind every fire there’s an architect that installed fire alarms for this very occasion. Without red LEDs, people will have no way to know the robot turned evil.

On the ground, near bus stops, parking lots, gas stations, anywhere people use them.

Either phishing (send fake link, get you to enter password), or someone messing with you by signing up with your email

The funny thing about RF work is how casually a few orders of magnitudes gets thrown around. 10 dB fudge factors for assorted losses are quite common.

I guess you could look at governmental budget or number of employees, but raw size is quite a bad metric for overreach. The knowledge that one year a lot of money was spent inforcing laws tells you very little about the effects that has on the population as a whole.

To do that you’d need a good definition of what exactly overreach is, and you’d probably have to do a lot of work because I doubt anyone else had the exactl same definition.

I’m assuming there is a lot of regional variation here, the wasps near my house have never caused much trouble, they just eat dead mice and large grasshoppers. One even let me pet it recently. We did end up nuking a nest inside the garden hose box a few years back, but I doubt the wasps chose a problematic location intentionally.

I mostly see tankies as an authoritarian (far right?) group pretending to be far left. Or at least that’s how they brand it, even though they openly advocate for government confiscation of all property.

All the tankie (far “left”) shit. It’s all either bad faith arguments (trolling), blatant propaganda or people who never bothered to fact check the propaganda.

They also create an inordinate amount of communities, had to use the “block instance” button a lot.

NSFW stuff also gets annoying after a while, but that seems less prevalent. (Just had to block one instance to get 99%)

Looking at my block list, the AI images and niece music stuff also got added at some point.

Sounds like the’re working for way below minimum wage. It’s not worth your time if it takes more then 3 minutes to save 50 cents.

Using Linux with obscure hardware (CNC mills, chromatographs, etc) is a bit like punching yourself in the nuts, but still free.

Does your car lock up outside of cell coverage? I’m not suggesting removing the radios themselves, just the antennas. To the car, it will just always be out of range.

The antenna used for talking to the keys might cause trouble, but those are either inherently short range inductive systems or are receivable using a 20$ RTL SDR to verify it’s not sending anything else.

Should be quite easy to remove any WiFi/cellular/satellite antennas from the car’s computer. (Might be trace/chip antennas, so make sure to get those). If you’re extra paranoid, get the GPS antenna too, so it can’t simply record data indefinitely.

Might take a few hours to go through the car to make sure you get everything, but you won’t be limited to super old cars.

4000 years ago humans were farming, living in cities and just starting to figure out writing.

Given how nicely centered the impression is, this was probably intentional, a very old foot selfie.

I reserve .elf for executables for other platforms, like microcontroller firmware.

I dunno, oxygen’s been causing trouble recently, and it’s not the first time either.

Plastic is almost entirely made from plants much older then dinosaurs, but if you ate a chicken on the other hand…

Of course they moved those massive, multtonne blocks of stone with sound. What do you mean they use pulleys, ramps and hundreds of years worth of elbow grease? That’s totally ridiculous.

Power companies average things out.

Now some customers specifically ask to pay the instantaneous price, and those people just turn things off. This has the advantage that you end up paying less during times if low demand.

Sounds like a slow and inaccurate pregnancy test more then anything else, and apparently it even works. Kinda impressive that they managed to figure it out, I guess thousands of years of fucking around paid off.
