I went to college for networking but the most productive class I’ve ever had where I learned the most about the internet was instead back in high school. This teacher would make 20 page packets with the most obscure questions like what’s the weight of model number 62xRG4 (some obscure car part or something) and he told us to google it. We would spend entire classes just searching for information we would never use, but it drilled into me how to go about finding the information I need. It’s been utterly invaluable. Thank you Mr Ward.

They’ll roll out the Zuckbot for some public speaking so everyone can focus on how weird he is instead of anything else.

These types of batteries are called wafer batteries because you just eat them

It’s real hard to press that button - its built into a locked briefcase and stashed in a bunker under the whitehouse. You also need a code for the button to do anything, I think.

Manufacturers need to put the cheap ass software on a cheap ass $20 stick. Stop fucking up TVs with it. Stop accepting any ‘smart’ features and stop calling them smart. They’re invasive advertisement platforms, full fucking stop. It is in fact NOT worth it to get a google TV, because they’ll pull this shit or worse next week. We had perfectly functional TVs for decades before this shit, stop acting like the only choice is to surrender your hardware.

Oh wow, you really didn’t realize? Yeah man this is a youtube channel for getting kids interested in science and technology, like the technology surrounding self driving cars and lidar. Did you see the part where he introduced the technology by taking it to Disney world?

Here’s a random video from crunchlabs, the company he created and advertises on ALL of his videos. This video shows his fan base enjoying what they got from crunchlabs.

You realize Mark Robers target audience is like 8 years old, right? He also references looney tunes and wile e coyote a couple dozen times, including in this thumbnail you’re losing your mind over. The thumbnail fits the theme very well if you ask me.

This video isn’t a rigorous scientific test. This is a children’s video designed to get them interested in the scientific method. Get over yourself.

I thought the break would suggest two separate ideas, but in a sense it does help. Some spoofing can start ‘rubber banding’ between the spoofed location and the actual location, and if youre spoofing 1000 miles away, thats an insant soft ban. but if your phone never gets a proper fix on like 5 GPS satellites, you won’t rubber band.

I mostly used the damaged GPS phone to idly increase walking distance. If I set it to charge in a basement my character just bounces all around the outside of the house and I can wake up to a cool 10km walked. There’s better options for fake walking though.

If you’re interested in GPS spoofing, you can find a wealth of information by searching for ‘gps spoofing’ with ‘pokemon go’ tacked on the end. It takes an idea that otherwise makes you sound like a paranoid person and turns it into just cheating at a videogame.

Lol if anyone looked at my pokemon go data, they’d think I was some playboy with a private jet that visits Jakarta one day, and Tokyo the next. They also think I have insomnia and wander around in half mile circles all night. They think I have some insane government access when I visit chernobyl or tour the entirety of Italy right in the middle of their worst covid lockdowns.

I disassembled one of my phones and physically detached the extra antenna bits for the GPS, making it extremely unreliable, and a little aluminum foil on top can start to throw my location 500ft in a random direction.

Pokemon go provides direct feedback for gps spoofing in a way I haven’t seen available anywhere else. The game isn’t too fun, but learning where I can break GPS is a pretty fun game. The game of cat and mouse with Niantic detecting spoofers has been interesting to say the least.

If he rebooted his first show The Broken, I would watch every second. It was seriously his best work.

Edit: it’s not a reboot if he doesn’t bring back hacking with Ramzi.

So like, if a hundred of us all filed through a store, picked up this one item, then set it back down, it would potentially be cheaper next week?

Is this the new protest instead of not buying from a particular company? Next Kroger you visit, pick up and set down all the nestle products you can find.

I would like to know where I can personally inform them that I am, in fact, posting negative things about their department online. I’ll even send them a fucking link

That yacht is fine because someone else at AT&T rotated into a position at the FCC

I’m kind of alright with them accumulating some level of wealth, if the result is that they get a little trophy, a little island, and all their money redistributed. Like, congrats you won, now fuck off and let someone else win too.

It’s sort of in the realm of hypernormalization maybe

After spending years dealing with shady freeware and junk software on windows, I was floored by how easy and nonchalantly I was able to set up a simple security camera on my PC

I worked for a company contracted by government agencies (city/county/state/fed) to gather traffic statistics. We were used because they were not able to use Google traffic data as a blanket rule.

This Pokémon Go player has unwittingly poisoned an AI dataset by spoofing across bodies of water for years.

Today, The Onion ate.

I’ll pick up the pedantic torch. Trains are made of train cars, I’d argue each one is a separate car or vehicle even though they’re strapped together.

I feel like The ISS ticks a lot of the boxes for a vehicle though, how big is that?
