Seems like a better use of money than weapons and killing each other with said weapons on Earth

Would be cool if you could use this (with 2 probes) to build a wiring net for reverse engineering.

Been doing something similar with a Samsung printer and CUPS for years, it’s great

Found this helpful for generating some of the config files: https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate


It being built in sounds nice, although I have some lines in my config that automatically install lazy if it’s missing.


Used neovim and neovide for the last week (also had FOMO) and while they’re good (no major gripes) I ended up going back to macvim.

Are there specific features you’re missing from vscode?


Depending on your definition of shell there are some: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-shell/id1473805438


Martha Stewart was sent to prison for less


The Martha Stewart and Mark Cuban cases were more or less the same -- a non-insider investor was given information from an insider, sold their stock to avoid a loss, and were then investigated for it.

The thing is - insider trading is illegal but it's poorly defined.

Martha Stewart wasn't convicted of insider trading - she was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to a federal investigator.

Mark Cuban wasn't convicted of insider trading either. He wasn't convicted at all. He kept his mouth shut and the jury found him not guilty of insider trading.


She was sent to prison for lying and trying to cover up her insider trading. If she had just admitted and accepted the punishment, it would have been just a financial penalty.

Her blunder was thinking she was too special (or too rich?... she wasn't really that rich) to have to deal with the laws, so she tried to scheme her way around the punishment.

As I recall, her insider trade only made or saved her something like $64k. That's laughably small, and the final punishment to her would have been little more than a slap on the wrist had she not blown it up by lying and cheating to avoid the original punishment.


I hear this a lot, but she did deserve to be punished. Her defense tried to act like she innocently and accidentally sold some stock based on something a friend told her, but they neglect to mention that she her career started as a stock broker and as such should have been familiar with regulations, and she was on the New York Stock Exchange’s board of directors during the scandal.

It's not some innocent mom who accidentally listened to some advice, she really should have known better.


She was targeted because James Comey wanted to leverage her fame for his own career advancement. Not justifying what she did, but it’s no coincidence that she got roped.


I may simply be ignorant of the details of this case, but I never heard James Comey's name until ~October of 2016.


That's on you then.


Well, she was also targetted because of all the crimes


I'm not saying she's innocent, I just think that we should apply the same standards to everyone, or change/remove the standards.


Especially if you get into a specialized trade for people with money.

I’ve repaired a lot of my historic windows myself because of how expensive it is to get someone else to do it. (Quoted 8k for one leaded glass window) I think it’s become my new backup job if I really am replaced by a computer.


Automation worked out great for domestic manufacturing in the US /s


Have you seen some of the Meshtastic hardware with built-in keyboards? https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/lilygo/tdeck/


I was thinking something like an esp32 + mesthastic / LoRa + REST API on the LAN, discoverable via multi cast. The "landline" is a tablet or phone with an app that talks to the esp32. Separately, a parent with the app does the Diffie-Hellman key exchange over SMS, NFC, or some other channel with the friends who also have the app, and you know their identity. The phone app updates the device with the friend's keys, they do the same thing on their end, and voila you're in business. The kids can talk securely, you can read that the kids say via the LAN, no goddamned third parties.


You just reinvented the IM-ME, a device famous for being used aftermarket to hack garage doors (in the days before Flipper Zero).


Lol. That's cool, I've never heard of that!
