Old Androids Never Die, They Just Have A Few Screws Loose
TL;DR, not hard at all, really - there are plenty of places to physically hack a system, and plenty of tiny microcontrollers that can do the job. Thing is, it was already possible anyway... Source: Hardware Implants • SecuringHardware.com
I had envisioned something like this being a good solution, so I'm not surprised Japan is doing it. Will it ever happen in the USA? No fucking chance. It's way too easy to hack the shitty systems we've got now, and TPTB will never give that control up. Source: Can Open Source Approach Improve Japan’s […]
I seem to have underestimated the depths to which trumpies will sink. I've been banned from FB for a day for "hate speech" - which yes, I assume my post does look like if read, without context. Of course the trumpie can be racist as fuck and get away with it, no ban and the […]

If "expensive" means a $400 user-friendly prebuilt 3D printer like the m0n0price MS+, and $3 of plastic, then I am a 1%er. I guess. To be honest, I'm not impressed by the design. It does not print nicely on the bottom underneath where the handle and trigger are, the handle's not as big of deal, […]
Why, what is that I spy at 43 seconds into WATCH_DOGS 2's menu video? :? All the parts are there - even the plastic springs for the trigger mechanism - And it's laying on a homemade Prusa-style printer. Kinda looks like a Lulzbot Mini clone. While I applaud all of the small touches for accuracy […]
Total cost in plastic: $6-10 each, depending on the plastic you bought Time to print: about 24 hours Things the release of the design changes: zero Like with all weapons, the issue has never been the weapon itself, but who has access to it and why.
