When you make a hardware product, you also make a bunch of hardware that nobody will ever see. This is all custom hardware I’ve built to make the OMG Cable what it is today. And there’s plenty not pictured too! Automated firmware loading, QA testing, calibration, stress testing, destructive testing, lab certification, performance profiling, etc. Some of these are very simple devices. But some communicate together, auto-scale, create process audit chains, & ensure no mfg/QA steps can be skipped. If a single cable has issues, I can often look back at the entire manufacturing process to see why. This is how I reduced my failure rate about 1000x from my first batch. If a single component is outside of margins, I’ll be able to see it… even when the PCBs are completely embedded inside of protective material. It’s kind of fun designing these. Most everything is inverted from product design. A typical hardware product will be in the hands of thousands of people across thousands of environments and be supported for many years. With factory tooling, it’s a very small set of users & environments. If you want everyone to upgrade to the latest version, you just replace everything!

@yacineMTB It’s fine if you treat it as a dangerous tool. There are tons of great tools and resources. Like the reading apps that @NielsHoven is working on. But treating the screen as a babysitter is where people commonly fail.

Updating my Tesla from 30,000 feet in the air using my iPhone, connected via satellites. 26 years ago, I was posting to a forum from a moving car. Loading a single webpage could take minutes. My Nokia phone was tethered to my laptop with a special serial cable & drivers. The laptop used the phone as a modem to dial into the internet. GPRS was new. Instead of dialing the phone number for a local ISP, I could dial *99# and connect directly through the mobile carrier’s data network (APN).

This seems to line up. Gas futures dropped almost exactly a month ago. Which is what wholesale prices are based on. Though it’s the retail prices that fall like a feather. It probably also helps to look at who wins and loses in the market here. The losers were producers & exporters (Iran) and anyone betting long. And I feel like this is at least the 3rd major cycle of Trump’s 2nd term where the market gets pulled down and he triggers a rebound very soon after… so… 🤷‍♂️ Or maybe I misunderstood what you are getting at. I’m trying to make sense of it myself.

@osgo Stationary and in a well populated area? Yeah… open networks back then were preferable :D Especially cantenna + coffee shop down the block.

Literally the point! 😂 Everything is better and so much easier. It’s SO easy that people dont appreciate the complexity & magic anymore. Every dipshit who shits their pants if they can’t get the new dubstep skrillex remix in under 12 seconds. Zero appreciation for the magic.

@lazdcj I usually do. Unless they give me the opportunity to further drive home a point. (appreciation for how awesome and accessible things keep getting). But I think this one probably missed the mark I was aiming for.

@0xDustinP I remember a few people doing areal war driving back then from tiny low altitude planes and thinking it was awesome. And just the antennas needed to capture beacons was bigger than what’s needed for bidirectional high bandwidth satellite links now.

@Laughing_Mantis lmfao I wanted to tag you but figured it’d be weird. You seeing it organically makes it 100x better.

@b1ack0wl I always get happy when people recognize a reference that I slip into a post. It’s getting recognized a lot less as time goes on 😭

@JustinRYoung I’m trying to think 26 years into the future and what the equivalent scenario would be. I don’t even know.

@IowanDad @m0unds lmao. Not quite technically accurate but I’m down with the vibe. Everything being amazing has become baseline expectation.

@hagler_m Hah yup. IRC or vBull depending on the community. Finding an open AP was always another option but it just wasn’t as cool as posting while actually driving.

@m0unds It’s definitely advanced. But also is basically out of the box, no special setup. And not any people appreciate the magic underneath it all.

@HackingLZ @UK_Daniel_Card Do I need to NFA tax stamp if I’m able to do more than one prompt per button press? One day I hope to learn why Dario is so bad at his job.

@kmcnam1 @McGrewSecurity You know… this could actually be doable. I’d just need to work out how much processing power is needed to convert video frames to ascii on the fly.
