- Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment 16 hours ago:
Counterpoint: hand-sewing reduces your impact on the environment more because you can’t impact environment that much with both hands occupied for dozens of hours. It’s like touching grass but productive.

So where’s the downside? There is a discussion and exchange of opinions\experiences. /c/showerthoughts is not /c/science.

Can you elaborate further? What conditions make your usage fitting? I guess it’s about having other materials made from plastic as well.

First thing I’d try to do is to guess how the door and it’s lock operates. Some cheapest options I encountered (not in washing machines, but safety screens on factory equipment) were either bare pins meeting each other or a reed switch reacting to a magnet in the door or the locking mechanism - thus closing the circuit. You seem to have an indicator to directly tell you if the door is closed\locked?, so you can try to look into this right after reseting it anew. I’m not sure if it’d lead anywhere, but it may be simplier to cross out from the list than other issues.
- Comment on CrankBoy - the original Game Boy game emulator for the Playdate console (my article) 1 week ago:
I shared your confusion.
Now I’m curious if one can pull that off with simple games if features like high refresh rate and wireless thrown off. Also, price. With that ‘Memory LCD’ of theirs, it costs $100 per unit as per their Twitter.
14 days standby clock, 8 hours active
That’s what PD team claims for 740 mAh battery, it is what cheap mp3 players now have\consume. If there is a space to optimize it further, we’d see even better numbers, but I’m not confident this crank or little solar panel on the surface (whole back panel?) could make it autonomous. Yet, the idea of a handheld that LOVES sunlight is tempting. And, also, the idea of games that are built around slow and infrequent refresh like those minigames on e-books.
- Comment on Argentina wants to monitor social media with AI to ‘predict future crimes’ 1 week ago:
Or having an initial test period, where, by default, they get adutomatically fired unless they serve well or work on their promises, like contractors, not like kings.
Locking into power once elected is a stupid design decision someone should’ve protested with a chainsaw in their hand, just like Milei, if he didn’t enjoy it himself.

- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 3 weeks ago:
I find it more reliable as it has less mechanical parts, but I am curious if someone did a scientifical aproximation of how long it would last.
- Comment on Hmm which one I guess? 3 weeks ago:
It may be the same workout app just multiplied for SEO. I don’t think making official dupes is an offence against the rules of said platforms, as these are not unauthorized clones, and spamming apps to appear in every potential search querry is what for-profit companies without a brand recognition would undoubtedly strive for.

Drop a thumb stick (mechanical failure) into a plastic zip-lock in a vacuum (oxygen) then into a metal thermos mug with water (pressure and radiation) then dig it really deep (accidential discovery and weather). By the time it deteriorates you’d have problems finding USB interfaces to plug it in. The location itself is largely irrelevant, but I’d recommend some place far from human-occupied places.
The authoritarian state problem isn’t solveable, but you can defend it by obscurity, like not leaving a trace of thinking about this info cache, or leaving too many of these caches to reliably dig up all of them.
