Packaging is everything and this could be neat…
Everything the flipper zero does can be achieved with an ESP32 and CC1101 which runs around $10 yet the flipper is a $200 device
Packaging is everything… my flipper kicks ass

- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 3 weeks ago:
Cell != Battery
Battery = MANY Cells
I am not correcting you just hate the headline.
If you made a battery with 666(667 if we round up) of these you could supply 2ma of power at 3v for 50 years!
I don’t have sizes available so assuming 2032 sized batteries… If you stacked them that would be over 2meters tall.
With further advancement these could be viable
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 3 weeks ago:
A lot more than that. 2ma
Smaller packages may be more efficient.
Analog circuits are weird though

Yeah it is awful for intermittent printing; you will not get as many prints as you expect but it WILL still print (after you run a couple of maintenance cycles to flush out the dry ink)

it was Louis Rossman and recently was within the past month; That said its currently being discussed Image
I don’t really like Louis Rossman much but most of his critiques of companies not treating consumers correctly are typically correct
Personally speaking though removing old firmware from site and adding a genuine cartridge check are the first steps you would take to begin limiting users.
EcoTank I like because Epson can literally NOT confirm if the ink is genuine or not (if you REALLY were determined you could even get Magenta into the Cyan tank and it would still squirt ink out… although incorrectly of course)
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
The printer I am liking right now isn’t laser but comes out to be about the same cost to print as laser.
It’s the Epson EcoTank. The print quality is pretty good for things where a laser printer is the wrong tool and the refills are relatively reasonable… and Shaq promotes it!

- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
Government in this case is forcing sites to collect PII to verify age not blocking content not blocking content themselves.
I am working under the knowledge that these age verifications are not theoretical (Its the end game of all the KYC startups from last decade)
If you are in the south in much of the US these ID checks are already forced and will only expand
A browser header gives the result without building a Database of people who like porn
Browser headers also put the responsibility on sites that promote dangerous things to kids (its in your best interest as a site that can deliver porn, things not suitable for kids to check and respect the header from a liability perspective)
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
Sites and services today that we are considering forcing to collect PII (driver’s license) for age verification would be compelled to check the header as it would provide what these laws are chasing in a way more respectful towards privacy
As far as exploiting children online. My point has been clear that is already happening, TikTok, Youtube, Instagram ALL exploit children online today. They do not face consequences because they can hide behind their TOS this would put responsibility with regards to not breaking our already existing laws back into their hands
I trust parets. I have kids myself the plethora of tools and systems available to invade you kids’ privacy is great… and those are also even way worse than a header (especially when you consider what they do to work)
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
I am actually in full agreement.
A header would put the setting on the device and only indicate “Minor” or “Not Minor” which would allow to restrict or allow porn without having to collect everyone’s PII just so they can crank their hog.
If you read previous things though such an indicator would put a lot more responsibility onto Social Media platforms to not show harmful content with minors. Today they get away with it because “TOS says only 18 year olds are allowed to us this service”
South Park kind of nailed the attitude en.wikipedia.org/…/South_Park_(Not_Suitable_for_C…

The laws around advertising are fucked to begin with but the should actually be used in advertising 100%
The minor flag would actually remove the LARGE gray area that platforms take advantage of to push harmful ADs and content to kids (Today they just get to play dumb)
This would actually create a framework to enforce existing advertising laws as well as data collection laws with regards to minors.
Examples: Minors should not see ads for holsters, knives, ammo, ED medications, Diet drugs, muscle building drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco products, Online Gambling
These are all things I have seen advertised on YouTube to me; Granted I am not a minor but I am also just using Youtube by going to the site with no account.
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
I have to agree with PornHub’s concept.
A device should be able it indicate in hits header whether its primary user is an adult or a minor and the service can react accordingly.
It won’t protect all the children but children of parents who can’t be assed to setup a device properly will have problems no matter how much we increase the surveillance state.
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 2 months ago:
LLNL has achieved positive power output with their experiments. llnl.gov/…/shot-ages-fusion-ignition-breakthrough…
No fusion reactor today is actually going to generate power in the useful sense.
These are more about understanding how Fusion works so that a reactor that is purpose built to generate power can be developed in the future.
Unlike the movies real development is the culmination of MANY small steps.
Today we are holding reactions for 20 minutes. 20 years ago getting a reaction to self sustain in the first place seemed impossible.
