- Comment on Ring calls off partnership with police surveillance provider Flock Safety 5 days ago:
Didn’t ring already prove they were permanently recording and storing the data from every ring camera even if the person that bought it doesn’t pay for a subscription?
The conspiracy theorists joking/lamenting about how seemingly everyone decided that buying a listening device to put in every room was fine because it had a name, and not long after, the same company known for exploiting its warehouse workers, union busting and general privacy violations brought out the ‘build your own panopticon’ kit.
- Comment on Ring is always recording and uploading to their servers, even with you're not paying for the subscription 1 week ago:
What a genius idea, just walk up to a fish eye lens security camera on someone’s house, one that you know is recording, and do a bit of criminal damage.
I hate that I have to clarify that I’m not defending these companies that people brainlessly support in the name of convenience. I’m saying that unless your appearance is completely obfuscated, then spraypainting people’s personal property is a dumb idea.
Use lasers. It’s far more expensive to replace and entirely burnt out sensor than it is to clean off spraypaint. (For legal reasons this is a joke)

Odd, nothing asked me to pay to read, give me a sec and I’ll pull their sources for you to assuage some of that doubt.
- Comment on I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well 1 week ago:
Oh aye I saw that one as well, funny as anything to see, and I definitely don’t disagree with the ‘find what you like and run with it’ attitude when it comes to luxury gear
I’m running on the most basic of basic usb headphone amp and dac units, can safely say it’s enough for my ears.
Fiio’s just one of those companies that make decent gear and isn’t just some clone of a clone in a fancy case with an unknown OS. In all honesty the bonus of having every headphone port type and the output to run them off one device is my main draw to it.

Trade you for one that’s from a renowned audio company (nothing against hatsune miku but that thing looks like it’s 80% gimmick)

Theoretically? No.
In reality it’s already happening.
This is from ONE concentration camp. If they’re moving people between these ‘detention centers’ and fudging the data or straight up not recording anything on where people are, then they can disappear who they want, and by the time their lawyers or family get visit approval it’s already too late.

Unless you could get an acrylic plate wth a seal around the edge to go over the bath, got the bike pump working in reverse and reinforced the bath, you might stuggle even with some proper elbow grease

All it takes is either a multi million dollar human scale pressure chamber, or volunteering for some mad billionaires high altitude mach 5 manned vehicle tests

K doesn’t use the ° symbol ;)
And the increments of kelvin are the same as Celsius, they’re just at different points, where at 0K absolutely nothing is a gas or a liquid.
(Trying to decipher it right but you’re suggesting 0K be renamed -100°??
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Depends on what altitude you’re at; get high enough and the depressurisation will boil the water in your blood straight out of every orofice available using only your body’s latent heat.
- Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate 3 weeks ago:
It is possible to get IR radiation out almost directly to space, its the same principle for why clear nights are always colder- no cloud layer to bounce the IR back at the surface and keep it warm
- Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate 3 weeks ago:
I did watch a real good set of videos by Tech Ingredients, the chap’s gotta be either a lecturer (and) or his special interest is DIY-ing everything from pulse detonation rocket engines (that turned out better than the ones ol muskrat’s using) to using an underground heatsink made of plastic tubing and carbon saturated cement outside his workshop for an in-window AC unit, turning an 800W drain down to a 300W drain for the same cooling.
He was using some kind of fine particle paint to create a large Infrared radiating surface that shed heat so well it got below ambient air temp because it was shedding IR directly up out into space
The only unfortunate limit is shielding it from catching any outside radiation and making sure all the IR actually leaves the system, he had to build a shade to protect it from trees and buildings which would have been effectively shining IR back into the system.

Im sure that this doesn’t violate the laws of thermodynamics, but the headline makes it sound like this magics away the heat without using electricity or putting the heat anywhere.

Anyine else remember when google were legally forced to start asking you for your location?
This is that. Don’t use google. Stop supporting corporations that openly tell you they’re supporting not just the unfetterd harvesting of data but also use said data to support countries currently committing Genocide.

I don’t know, after seeing one of those pans with a proper shine on it in a meme, I’d love to see the colour changes from oxidation when you re-season it
- Comment on Good night sweet prince 5 weeks ago:
Had a stainless pan go like this after a bout of the big sad, all it took to make it into a mirror was a bit of elbow grease, a scourer pad and some bleach.

You fell for the propaganda and slurped it right up like good cattle.
She wasn’t a protestor or even AT a protest.
She had just dropped her kid at school and her partner elsewhere.
She was part of a line of traffic that was CAUSED by a protest.

- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 5 weeks ago:
Does anyone remember where games would respect the autonomy of the player enough that they’d actually let you lock yourself out of an ending, where there was an actual game over state your decisions could lead you to?
I still remember the point where the pile of notes my sibling made for Riven (the Myst sequel) was taller than the 6 CD jewel case it came in.
