What ever happened to doing this with UHF RFID? Getting the cost of the individual chips down was always just a matter of scaling production.

I do wish Robertson heads were more common. They’re almost as tough as torx, but tapered to stick on the tip of the tool, which is so convenient.

US Subs has offered these for decades and they’re a legit commercial submarine firm. I’m not sure anyone actually wants to buy them.

I particularly appreciate the armored cow.

Not with any pci-e expansion sockets. I’m not even sure it could address a proper pci-e GPU.
- Comment on _Real_ gaming router - GTA Vice City on a TP-Link router 2 months ago:
That would be pretty impressive, actually.

Yeah and it’s cheaper to fly to Europe to see a concert than to get tickets in the US these days.

A quick search turned up one town in SC, but I’m not seeing much else.
It’s really not at all ridiculous to seek expertise from experts when implementing a new system. However, it’s not surprising people wouldn’t think of the overlap between fast food and vaccine distribution, especially since most fast food does a piss-poor job of managing their own lines.
- Comment on This is just cruel 4 months ago:
This has been referred to as “bone apple teas” for many years, but “eggcorn” is a good single-word term for it.
- Comment on Those bastards at Fisher-Price knew exactly what they were doing. 4 months ago:
Or worse… maybe they expect us to go down to the local warehouse and pick the items we want to buy off the shelves ourselves instead of having them delivered.

A likely story.

Can we please stop acting like every firmware update they push is done major recall?
- Comment on Hyperloop One to Shut Down After Failing to Reinvent Transit 4 months ago:
Isn’t hyperloop like the opposite kind of transit to your typical public transit of the type he hates? Like, the only thing it can really compete with is airlines for long distance rapid transit.
- Comment on HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly 4 months ago:
I got a huge office printing center thing from government liquidation out of my nearby military base for $55. It came with more toner than I could ever use in my lifetime.
- Comment on Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand 4 months ago:
The right source for this kind of stuff is the NHTSA’s database, but you can’t manufacture juicy headlines from that.
- Comment on Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand 4 months ago:
Even the Lending Tree “article” has a disclaimer at the top that they haven’t reviewed or approved any of it.
- Comment on Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand 4 months ago:
Last time a garbage hit-piece like this pissed me off, I looked into the crash statistics myself and found Tesla vehicles were around 1/80th the average crash ratio per capita.
I’m sure this is somewhat skewed by the kinds of people driving them versus the average work vehicles and clunkers out there, but still, it just feels absurdly false to claim Teslas even approach the highest crash rate.
And even the sketchy “study” not even endorsed by the site it’s posted to, then linked by Forbes, then says Ram vehicles as the highest crash rate (lol), so it’s wild that Forbes goes on to say it’s Tesla at the top spot.

We have altered the terms of service. Pray we do not alter them any further.
- Comment on Polish Hackers Repaired Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them 5 months ago:
Yeah, especially in the EU where apparently their laws regarding circumventing DRM might make the people who fixed this the bad guys instead of this comically evil manufacturer who put GPS kill switches on public passenger trains.
- Comment on Polish Hackers Repaired Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them 5 months ago:
If you RTFA, they were paid by the repair company who was paid by the private train operator to fix the train. In doing so, they reverse engineered the hardware/firmware and found the DRM added by the manufacturer to prevent the repair company from doing the repairs by bricking the train.

Judging by the nature of them posting an adult’s arm with this tattoo, they know exactly that it stands for and put it in there for additional laughs.
- Comment on You may want to sit down 5 months ago:
Also a clue that the post is totally made up.
