I misread as ā€œMeh, We have an answerā€ and thought that you wanted metal teeth screwed directly into your bones.

I mean, it sounds cool AF! Until you remember that the Soviets used to use stainless steel for dental work and you have no desire to torture Christian seminarians at the Pitești prisonā€¦

:skull:

Clearly notā€¦ :laughing:

Do you have a solution for the brain damage that it causes and for the neighbors of the lab who ended up poisoned because of the byproducts of the stuff? :thinking:

Beautiful green beastie. Over the years Iā€™ve gradually been upgrading to larger vehicles and am quite happy with my spaciousness new cargo van, though itā€™s nothing compared to that vast interior. So much table top.

For context, I used to run a drug squad and encountered many with black and rotten teeth. It was intended a light hearted joke, not a suggestion to use meth.

Hehe, thanks. Itā€™s actually got twice as much table space as I need. Previous owner and his wife did remote work with laptops so needed the room. Going to remove the giant desk, move the kitchen table/chairs over to that side, extend the kitchen counter to fit the propane oven, and shove in a mini bathroom/shower in there also.

there have been a few things.

Some big stuff , some little stuff, some new people with new projects.

You should start with @Hamspiced, specifically his repeater stickers

I have been wondering how you were going after the last little while (along with a few others)
Glad your back

That is the most American sentence I have read today.

Yeah, please do, and keep us updated.

If it looks like it needs some attention, Iā€™ll chip in some free healthcare funds

Ditto, but said with a real accent and not a Kiwi one;)

Beginning to wonder if ā€œfree healthcare fundsā€ = beer

Came across an old (pretty old) interview I donā€™t remember doing but definitely didā€¦ in case anyone is interested.

The page doesnā€™t say when the interview was done but the wayback machine has a date of April 2019ā€¦ but I know this is older because I do remember this was around the time of my TEDx talk. In fact, she approached me about doing this interview at that eventā€¦ so some time around the start of Dangerous Thingsā€¦ even the logo she used on the site for Dangerous Things was our original red logo.

Hypothetically, if I stumbled upon a card that seems like it might be a P71 chip like the Apex, would there be a good way to check?

And I probably couldnā€™t repurpose it to do any cool java-card stuff without knowing some super top-secret password for it, right?

Send an identity command to it

It is slightly different than the response from my Apex

My progress so far getting rid of my internet addiction :
X account nuked
Instagram account eradicated
Facebook account destroyed
YouTube premium exterminated
Google accountā€¦ well you canā€™t really get rid of this one, can you?

Iā€™m keeping my Google account for:
My youtube channels (and managing other peopleā€™s channels)
My email (changing that would take weeks)
Google Keep, letā€™s be honest itā€™s soo much better than any other notes app
Google maps because none of the competitors are even close
Google drive (I have the yearly 2Tb subscription an itā€™s my main storage)
Google password manager
My Chromecast that I intend to use at some point

Iā€™ve switched from YouTube to NewPipe
Iā€™ve switched from Chrome to Brave
Iā€™m thinking about switching from Drive to Proton :thinking:

Anyone degoogle-yfied here? Tips?
Side question:
I have a bunch of Tuya/Google home compatible IOT devices (plugs) is there any chance I can use those with some non chinese non evil software? Google home is plain bad at doing itā€™s job and tuya is great but I hear that Chinese apps collect all your data.

Alright, the Platform and ROM IDs do seem to match the P71

Neat!

I highly rate Waze over google maps for point to point navigation. Significantly better.

You would not use it to browse an area though, google maps is far better for this.

However, OSM is not a bad alternative to google here

I do use gg maps to browse, find business hours, photos etc etcā€¦

Although it might be on of the services I have the most beef with
Lately theyā€™ve been taking down my reviews one by one because I reported a few nice hotels for trying to buy Booking.com likes from me though bots.
Iā€™ve had to submit an appeal for every single one and in the end itā€™s just a Google employee that randomly decides if it stays or not.

The irony is my reports of big brands buying likes ( with proof) were taken down for: ā€œIn this case, the specific policy involved is fake engagement.ā€

Isnā€™t that beautiful?

That was the last straw actually, thatā€™s why Iā€™m nuking all my accounts. I donā€™t want to give any more of my time or money to this corrupt agglomeration of bullshit
