I think once you escape the system you don't find games or other distractions enjoyable anymore. When you're fully actualized and are capable of "going your own path", satisfaction…

But we have things like the Raspberry Pi, which are very low cost and completely open to tinkering. Add a keyboard and clip-on display then you have a tiny but capable development …

Such as tracking you every moment of your waking life. How modern technology has become so evil, looking back. Nowadays every device we have is clearly spyware, from the point of v…

You could alter the video timings on the Jornada a bit, by writing to the video chip registers directly. That would slightly improve its abysmal contrast ratio.

I had one running NetBSD together with a Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA WiFi card for wardriving purposes. With the driver for the WiFi card patched to enable monitor mode. Had two diffe…

It would be quite a lot of fun to make such an AI operate on the CB band, supervised and in compliance with the regulations, as a joke. A bunch of hams would quite easily freak out…

I don't really care if it's embarrassing or not. As long as my actions are entirely legal, anything pretty much goes. Encouraging people to install regulatory approved powerline ne…

When you start hearing about $19,000 fines for a single incident, it's no surprise you feel like wanting to encourage people to get those nice, perfectly legal, Comtrend powerline …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrsAsnl6XGA High power ham radio has also been found to interfere with medical equipment, such an insulin pumps, apparently a ham got shut down over…

I think maybe it shouldn't be legal to operate high power amateur stations in built up areas, due to health and safety concerns? That there might be enough people out there, once t…

This is why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NorLTsOVFeE He wanted to use the Baofeng radios on license-free FRS frequencies and got so much shit for that. He very much sums up how…

There's nothing illegal about installing powerline networking adapters. Doing that to protest the absolutely outrageous fines being dished out there. And that so many radio amateur…

It's been like this already, for quite some time (!), at lest here in the UK, VDSL2 to thank for that: https://rsgb.org/main/technical/emc/vdsl-interference-report... So it's alrea…

Especially with social media, the anger would spread throughout society like wildfire.

And mental health issues resulting from the soul-crushing school system itself. From boredom in the classroom, and from grading and testing of students. It's a prison environment t…

Well, yes because I don't want to be involved in things that are so authoritarian in nature, with draconian punishments enforced by the government for what amounts to being stupid.…

Even better if some product came onto the market, that used wideband powerline communications for its functioning, and practically everyone's got one. I think some electric car cha…

Lobster fishing is usually a large scale operation run by a business. Yes the fines are appropriate for a business, they wouldn't be for an individual though. If an individual was …

Makes you want to use powerline Ethernet for everything, which happens to stomp on the HF radio bands. Perfectly legal to install and use, a nice replacement for all those trailing…

Of course they are, but fining someone $24,000 for behaving rudely, even repeatedly, on the radio is far far worse. And so many amateur radio enthusiasts support these absolutely d…

Yes, and those drivers licenses are obviously because cars are dangerous machines that can cause severe harm to someone if they are driven improperly. And the legal system surround…

For playing music 5 years ago, that is still disproportionate, no emergency frequencies were disrupted, in any of his activities. Did he cause any quantifiable harm here? Did the h…

Absolutely ridiculous. That makes me want nothing to do with the hobby, period. These hams are behaving like animals with a dominance hierarchy. With "newbs" and status in that hie…

I don't think such a huge fine is justified, how about confiscating his equipment, and banning him from using radio equipment capable of transmitting on amateur frequencies for a p…
