- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 3 weeks ago:
All of this stuff is usually fit onto a single board, crammed into a very specific amount of space, and is thoroughly and iterated until it works properly. This isn’t the kind of stuff a home lab does, but you could certainly try. I think it would be damn near impossible to do it better and more reliably than teams of hundreds or thousands of various engineers. It’s not like you can just take a phone CPU and slap it on a random board without a ton of forethought.

At least you spent yours on something scientific in nature.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
Only a matter of time before they can’t get any because we wasted such a limited resource on vanity instead of the pursuit of science.

- Comment on FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days 4 months ago:
It was active for about 3 months, until she broke the screen. I replaced her device and put the phone on the shelf. I replaced the screen and digitizer a year later when I needed a spare handset and they told me “it had never been on network” and was ineligible for being unlocked. Which is bullshit because the phone was bought and paid for at the time I purchased it in a box at the store with a prepaid card. As far as I’m concerned, straight talk still owes me 200$. Even if the phone was NEVER activated, I still own it outright, making it mine to do with what I please.
- Comment on FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days 4 months ago:
Not always true, I bought a tracfone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It’s still carrier locked 5 years later because they say “it wasn’t in service for x amount of time and therefore isn’t eligible”. I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

- Comment on Google to shut down Keen, its experimental Pinterest-like social media platform 8 months ago:
My understanding is that Google “rates” its leaders by the number and types of projects they develop. Ergo there are a lot of people working on disparate items that often overlap, because it’s “their” project. Once the project completes, they get their credit, stop caring, and move on to the next. It is said this is why google creates then kills so much. It’s by design, essentially. The products they keep are the ones that make the most ad revenue.

He was exceptionally good at blowing things up! I loved the shit out of that show.

No he wasn’t. MacGyver didn’t like guns. This trope actually carried through to SG1.
Luckily, MacGyver did like explosives.
Regardless, this bill is stupid no matter how you look at it. Speaking as a 3d printer related business in NY. I will fight this lunacy.

The local fiber provider skipped my street altogether because spectrum has a contract with the apartments, and they don’t think it’s worth running fiber to compete. I wish this was a joke. The providers are literally NOT competing at all.

Don’t worry about those bumps in your hood. It’s just engine parts pushing into the sheet metal.

- Comment on Some people are really good at concentrating their attention. (when writing software, playing games, reading etc). It's a superpower. What are other attention superpowers? 11 months ago:
My coping mechanism to deal with untreated ADHD was to develop my working memory, so I have very good memory. It is like a superpower IMO. I remember lots of things like they were yesterday, that many others have simply forgotten.
Because of ADHD I can get in “the zone” and focus solely on something for hours, lost in time. I vape a lot of weed to quiet my mind down to a reasonable level.
