Thatās cool, have you seen the Applied Science videos on their electron microscope? Itās pretty interesting to see how they work.

I have not watched the videos but I know how those work. So thanks for the recommendation!
Some people have built scanning electron microscopes at home, but Iāve never had the need for one or time to build one.

The EEVBlog has a video on some of those systems but I donāt remember anything about it.
Iāll rewatch it later when Iām less exausted, but here it is if anyoneās interested:
As for the bolted piece of metal or plastic, well, itās been obvious to me ever since I came across one of those carts in the US.
Also, any plans for an xBattery implant? This tired cyborg would buy it in a clock cycle.

Dude those things are legit. Underground thereās some super high frequency field emitted at a boundary. When those are triggered that cart is immovable.
When I first moved to Dallas I was in a posh apartment in uptown that was connected to a Kroger. We found that we could bring the carts all the way to our apartment. It was great.
So we would sit on our balcony and just watch people try to steal by taking a cart full of stuff and book it through the parking lot. They got to the end of the lot where the sensor was and it would seize and they would eat it.
I never figured out how to unlock it but I watched a detailed video on it and I think someone figured out with the right audio file you could unlock it

The flipper also has the files for it
I think it was here that I heard someone say it isnāt the audio that unlocks it, but it uses your speakers as a sort of antenna

Yeah itās funny they added a red plastic loop only, but it doesnāt move or do anythingā¦ itās just meant to look like some kind of security mechanism

Canāt you turn a dial on yourself to make it go away?
Joking aside, maybe this song will help:

Unfortunately no, Iāve set my dial to the collective hash value of all posts on the forum.
