Although I'm a Linux fan, I have to admit a few things:
1. BSD has the best mascot BY FAR.
2. Windows XP had the best sounds. Almost orgasmic...
3. Apple has the best fanboys. You see all those retards camping out of an Apple store waiting for a new gadget, it makes you feel good about yourself...
4. I would also say something about Google and Android, but they know what kind of porn I watch, so I think it's wise to skip that one...6 -
Very cool gadget. Nice packaging, has few heavier than it looks. I’m impressed 👌 Can anybody guess what it is? 😼

Every single time a cool electronic device comes out, that connects to an API. The nerd in me can’t resist getting on a 3 month waiting list to get said gadget. I impatiently wait. I get gadget. It’s usually cool but never as cool as the marketing made it seem….thats not the rant yet.
Within 2 year the company is gone and i’m left with a $500-$1,000 paperweight that doesn’t work anymore.
This has happened to every single device I have bought that wasn’t from a billion $ company.
These companies would rather screw everyone over instead of simply making the backend of product open-source so people that use the product can at least try to get it working again.
My 1st rant. Sorry in much better in real life at bitching about things 😎7 -
One of my main hobbies is composing music. I had been in a creative funk for almost half a year when, during my vacation, I randomly discovered this little music production program for Nintendo Switch called Korg Gadget.
So far I've created 6 finished tracks, and this latest one I took a step further by giving some extra time and care.
I'm really glad to have the creative juices flowing again, especially since work has not been great lately...
Give it a listen, if you like. The other tracks are available as well :-)
New track. Sort of Synthwave. Composed with Korg Gadget on Nintendo Switch, mixed on a pc.

My image of dream career through different times of my life:
- frontend specs prodigy, css enlightenment, a member of w3c or a similar committee
- indie hacker and entrepreneur, leader of a startup community
- architecture prodigy, expert in scalability
- transsexual evangelist, popular article writer and a rockstar
- hardware engineer: Linux, C, chip and dale’s Gadget-like girlfriends, xkcd, latex, assembly, buying a radio station and a telescope
- scientist like NickyBones, papers, data, more data
- art expert
Though achieving one of this would take the entire life, I had a chance to grasp all of this. WHY does they feel so incompatible? Why do I have to choose?
Why do I feel so sad? Why do I feel like I haven’t achieved anything even though I objectively achieved what I dreamed of like five years ago?
Is it true that it’s in my nature to always seek an environment to feel like a junior in? Is feeling like a junior only pleasant to me because it reminds me of old times when I wasn’t actually this mentally ill and was still happy?
Why do I feel like that arduino and C shit is the equivalent of a red corvette?6 -
Buyer's remorse is a bitch. Yes, it's the top shelf gadget. Yes, it may very well save my life. Yes, I've wanted it badly since it got released. Yes, I will be using it on every occasion.
But it's 300€ ffs...8 -
So Igot that Samsung DeX thing a while ago. So far, it was just a nice gadget to have at hand, but I didn't get to use it properly since my laptop was always the better option sort of.
Now.
My power adapter for the laptop died last friday. I have a second one at home, but of course, I pack the wrong one for work.
Ended up working the entire day on the DeX. Thankfully, I just needed to do some web and office based stuff, and all the necessary documents are online anyway.
So that thing just saved my butt today, which is nice. Took a while to get used to, but it does it's job quite nicely.
To be honest: Iam suprised it works the way it does. Oh what a time to be alive...
Now the question is...
Can I get Ubuntu on here somehow? I did find a Tmux? shell and was able to download some ubuntu onto it, but it had gpg issues.
Anyone got more references? Ubuntu on Android 8.13 -
Do any of you have a fidget spinner or other fidget gadget? They seem to be pretty popular right now esp the fidget spinners. If you have one does it actually help you, or does it actually become more distracting? I'm fine myself fidgeting with paperclips and was looking at a fidget gadget.7

Whenever I utilize a Google technology, I start with "... Go go" as if I'm Inspector Gadget.
Go go Google Recaptcha!1 -
Does anyone know of a "formattable" ARM tablet that I can install whatever I want (maybe even dual boot), make upgrades... That is, that I can take advantage of the fact that it's a computer?
I'm a software developer and I'm tired of having to "buy a new gadget" just because the vendor doesn't want to update Android anymore.
Is there anything on the market that isn't expensive like Raspad or ugly like CutiePi?
NOTE: I live in Brazil, Pine does not deliver here.4 -
What's your take on the Ghimli studio drama.
Here is mine.
So for reminder, apparently shitGPT started generating images (big whoop) and all the normies are using it to mimic their favorite japan cringy anime.
Which apparently isn't to the taste of the anime drawer, who is apparently trying to sue everyone for copying his art style. Including not only chat GPT, but individual users as well.
So:
1. IA is a gadget. It's pretty convenient but if you think it will fundamentally change the fabric of society, you're an idiot.
2. There is no such thing as IntEllECtuAl ProperTy
3. Metallica's singer is a bitchtard. Suing for people to steal your music is the opposite of metal, retard. Same shit for the japan retard, i'll never watch your ghimlee shit now. Princess mononoke my balls, more like streissand so close no matter how far my dick. I hate you and I want your nails removed and then your finger dipped in salt.

Avoided IoT(IoS - InternetOfShit) for a long time now, due to the security concerns with retail products.
Now I looked into 433 Transceiver + Arduino solutions.. to build something myself, just for the lolz.
Theory:
Smallest Arduino I found has 32 KByte of programmable memory, a tiny tiny crypto library could take around 4 KBytes...
Set a symetric crypto key for each homebrewn device / sensor / etc, send the info and commands (with time of day as salt for example) encrypted between Server <-> IoT gadget, ciphertext would have checksum appended, magic and ciphertext length prepended.
Result:
Be safe from possible drive-by attacks, still have a somewhat reliable communication?!
Ofc passionate hackers would be still able to crack it, no doubt.
Question: Am I thinking too simple? Am I describing just the standard here?14 -
What gadget do you like the most, preferably besides your computer and cellphone?
Mine is Google Home mini. Because I typically forget where I put my cellphone. I just say "Hey Google, find my phone" and it will ring it.28 -
Anybody knows the Kysoh Tux Droid?
Got one here and need to know if there is some market for those gadgets. How to find out what it is worth?
For those who don't know: It's a penguin which can be connected to the computer via the fish dongle. It is able to move the body, the wings and the eyes. Furthermore it can speak (via TTS) and the wings are buttons.

When I first came up with the idea for my groundbreaking new gadget, I was filled with excitement. I knew it had the potential to change the market, but as a financially strapped inventor, securing a patent seemed like a daunting task. After researching my options, I found "Innovate Legal," a firm that promised quick and guaranteed patent protection for a $3,000.fee, Their pitch seemed solid, and they assured me that for the price, my invention would be in safe hands. I handed over the money with high hopes, confident that I was taking the right steps toward securing my invention's future. Weeks turned into months, but I never received any updates. When I checked in, their responses were slow and vague, yet they assured me everything was progressing. As the delays continued, my anxiety grew, and I decided to investigate further. That’s when I reached out to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST for assistance. ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST quickly uncovered the truth: Innovate Legal had never filed the paperwork for my patent application. I was shocked and devastated. I had put my trust and all of my savings into their hands, only to realize I had been scammed. But ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST didn’t leave me hanging. They walked me through the process of filing a chargeback with my credit card company. After submitting the necessary documentation, I was able to recover the entire $3,000.I had paid, While the chargeback was a huge financial relief, the emotional toll of this experience was overwhelming. I had almost given up on my invention. However, thanks to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST support, I didn’t just get my money back; I regained my confidence and determination. Armed with a clearer understanding of how to protect my work, I decided to handle the patent process myself, ensuring everything was done properly and legitimately this time Today, my invention is officially patent-pending, and while the journey has been challenging, I’ve learned invaluable lessons about trust and persistence. I’m incredibly grateful to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST for helping me not only recover my funds but also guiding me back on track with my invention.

RECOVER LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN, ETH, USDT WITH THE SUPPORT OF CYBER CONSTABLE INTELLIGENCE
The internet can feel like the wild west, full of danger and hidden traps, and I learned that lesson the hard way when I lost access to my Bitcoin wallet thanks to some sneaky malware. Picture this: I was just minding my own business, innocently clicking on what I thought was a harmless ad, maybe something about a new “must-have” kitchen gadget, when suddenly I found myself staring in horror at my computer screen, realizing I had just compromised my wallet containing a whopping $480,000. Talk about a facepalm moment! It felt like I’d just walked into a bar in a cowboy movie, only to find out the saloon was full of outlaws.
In the midst of my panic, I turned to Cyber Constable Intelligence, hoping they could pull off a miracle. I can’t emphasize enough how much they felt like my personal posse in that moment. Their team was not just professional; they were genuinely empathetic, treating my case with the urgency it absolutely deserved. It felt like I was surrounded by a group of tech-savvy superheroes, ready to tackle the villain that was my lost fortune.
After a few days of nail-biting suspense, I received the call that changed everything.

They took the time to provide me with invaluable advice on safeguarding my wallet in the future, transforming my panic into peace of mind.
I walked away from this experience not only with my $480,000 intact but also with a newfound respect for the importance of digital security.

Thanks to Cyber Constable Intelligence, I can finally take a breath without feeling like my funds are riding off into the sunset.

Get Back Your Crypto Funds - Recover My Crypto
It's the little things that get you sometimes, isn't it? I was actually pretty hyped with my new Bluetooth speaker, ready to see just how well it would sound and pump up my playlist while finishing some work. So, like any other tech enthusiast, I connected it to my laptop, where, of course, my crypto wallet was open and logged in. Big mistake.
It was a freakish twist of fate that, well, the Bluetooth speaker seemed to have other plans. It began glitching like a broken record, sending my laptop into a frenzy. I tried reconnecting it, and that's when the disaster struck. In some kind of crazy chain of events, I managed to get locked out of my $90,000 Bitcoin wallet. My wallet was still there, but access was completely blocked. As I sat staring at the screen in utter disbelief, my mind wandered to how something so silly could have caused such a huge mess.
Cue the panic. Something this simple, such as a glitch with the speaker, and I don't have access to so much money. The whole thing was just utterly absurd, and I couldn't stop playing the scene over and over in my mind, wishing I'd just have waited until work was done to mess with my new gadget. But it was too late; I was locked out, and the financial chaos was real.
Luckily, I knew where to go for help. The very first words in my mind were LEEULTIMATEHACKER @ A O L . C O M

https : // l e e u l t i m a t e h a c k e r. com I had heard very positive feedback about them regarding their capabilities, and they did not even laugh after several minutes of hearing my story, which, let's face it, sounds utterly ridiculous. Instead, they reassured me that they have seen all kinds of scenarios and can be of assistance with mine. Immediately, I relaxed due to their professionalism. They were very calm, efficient, and started working on my case without wasting even a single second.
In some days, they called me back to intimate me with the great news that my $90,000 was safely restored and my wallet was back in my hands. The feeling of relief which I felt was beyond description, knowing well that my ridiculous Bluetooth speaker disaster was finally over.
I will make sure gadgets and crypto are in two completely different corners: Now I understand that crypto has absolutely nothing to do with gadgets. Thank the heavens, Lee Ultimate Hacker recovered my funds, at the same time teaching me how to be much more cautious in handling wallets this time around. Not getting caught a second time!1
