Funny you mention that... I know a local bar where there are 4 bartenders who have all been there over 25 years. Recently I started asking them "How many pregnancies do you suppose you have caused throughout your…
Be ready for "Nico-Cola"
Good way to describe it. Hard to relay to people what it is like walking into a crowded room and not be able to find the people you are meeting without one of them waving. I try to explain it is a lot like the subway…
The best resource to learn the basics that I have seen is a "comic book" that was made about 15 years back [1]. It goes over the basics and helps you get going. From there I suggest reading posts, watching videos and…
The tribe nearby (Coeur d'Alene tribe) has been doing exactly that. They are repurchasing reservation land which was sold off through the years. Overall, from my observations through my life here the tribe's overall…
The car hacker's handbook [1] has a chapter on just using the infotainment system to access the CAN. Specifically mentions "attacking through the update system". [1]https://opengarages.org/handbook/ebook/ (chapter 9)
Never watched the wire...but I remember back 25+ years ago some people joking about not paying their phone bill to see if the phone was tapped. They claimed that since it never got shut off when they didn't pay it must…
A company local makes mining trucks [1]. At one event I was at I spoke with someone who was tied into the company and they said that when wars happen their business picks up because copper mining starts back up. War…
Also works well with a zip tie or 2. The belt holds itself in place as long as the tension is there. Most of my old printers still use this method on them. [1] You can also use another ziptie as a tensioner. [1] Very…
North Idaho started adding license plate readers and cameras back in the early 2k's using funding given out after 9/11. Locally there was a recent pushback on them and the sheriff basically said "They've been there…
Based on my observations (news reports, local chatter, etc) it seems that every state that borders a state with legal Cannabis does this. Idaho does this very frequently (since just about every border is a legal…
Some locals I know built a few of these cameras. I just ran into one of them the other day. They started the local makerspace. There was an article last week in the local paper about it.…
Once the AI realizes it can do a maneuver the aircraft can survive but the "bossy meatbag" in the cockpit cannot...
I recommend "the car hackers handbook". Gives you all the info you need including software. Great start to knowing what the CAN is doing.
I saw a mod where there was an arduino/lcd setup on the dash of an Audi to turn off the ESC and other annoyances on startup. I turn mine off quite often. On dirt roads and snow.
I actually have a 8085 Primer Trainer that I built/used in the 90s for school. [1] Programmed with pushbuttons and 7 segment LEDs. No backup memory so if you shut it off it lost it's program and you had to start over.…
Did AI write it? If so that is concerning...
I am curious which 3d printer manufacturers/developers are poised to take advantage of this. What machines already have locked down (or partially locked down) slicers and communications to the boards? Have those…
A year or so ago I was setting up my small router table/mill and I mounted a Sharpie holder to it and made some line art. Quite slow due to the leadscrew pitch of the mill but it worked well [1]. Like the OP I used…
There was a sign I saw locally a couple years ago that said it best. "Turn off the news, love your neighbors"
In my state (Idaho) they can (and do) pay less than minimum wage if you are a tipped employee. [1] "Most" who are in those positions tend to make at least minimum wage, if not more, but that is not a guarantee, and it…
Hate to say I called this years ago.... It is a shameful use of tech.
Real estate, Crypto and AI make up the 3 legged stool of US investment (from my perspective). In my area which is over 1/3 retired people this is where the majority of their investments seem to lie. Those who are simply…
Might not get you far in life...but it'll get you to the next town.
To the OP... Best wishes. You are an inspiration.
