there was an inkjet printer that had a special tray for CD/DVDs

the intent was to add artwork to the discs, but if you put a copper-plated board in there, printed on a circuit board, and etched away the area left behind, you'd be almost there :)

drilling holes and thru plating is my least favorite step tho

inflammation _is_ a repair process (part of it)

send another satellite with a better camera, and use it to knock the old one out of orbit like a pool ball

i got the Codex Seraphinianus as a gift a while back

its fun to "unfocus" my mind while flipping through the pages, pretending the things inside might even be real. got an idea for a clock design that way once

found ape escape on the quiver launcher; its definitely janky compared to an emulator, but still interesting to see if i can have some fun moving code around

i pipe pdfs directly from LLMs to UV printing and laser cutting services for enclosures

who knew we kept such things just lying around :)

it got so bad, even their _free online games_ needed to authenticate using a bespoke popup where you clicked in your pin number

towards the end it shuffled the digits after each click

truly cat and mouse

same as self-hosting email/webservers though, you dont need world-class hardware for personal projects. frontier models may be more capable but a smaller model can just as easily work through a project you break down for it

i've been running DeepSeekV4 flash but looking at the other models being suggested around, best part is switching to test has 0 cost :)

i felt like commercials LLMs were "good enough" for my needs about 2-3 generations ago, so this clicked into my work/life needs perfectly

i got them right before they went up in price, but honestly, for the ability to know that i wont have my thinking "questioned"... priceless

> Who decides what gets to be reverse engineered and what doesn't?

whoever owns the hardware

currently running 2x DGX Sparks and never thought to use a commercial model again

cant wait till fads are retro again

not OP but I once took an entry-level role at a small museum exhibit fabricator as their "tech guy", and many people i worked with there (vendors / external co-fabs) were showing me PLC / ladder logic stuff

i think Steam's biggest moat was always understanding that a $50 refund is a $500+ future customer

> Which one is it though

when i look for truth, if i dont find it myself through work, most people eager to hand it out had self-serving interests

security is proven through resilience? maybe. i guess i'd set up a box and try attacking it myself to know its secure. until someone else comes along and trips over it :)

> nobody ever got fired

thats the crux; are you working for the paycheck, or for the truth?

could be both, but pretty much all "i was right" stories start with "everyone else said i was wrong"

make sure you set the exposure to a negative value

not such a genius after all /s

can confirm; ive started getting advertisements explicitly meant for dentists

im very far from dentistry
