Interesting idea but considering that they’re not wearing uniforms or badges most of the time how do you know who’s ICE?

Well it’s two situations. Look at Google dropping the older Nests. There you can lay in a fine.

For the folding company could make it part of declaring bankruptcy. Standard paperwork.

Either release all your source or prep the needful. Once this is common and expected could even force companies to maintain a public branch to release on cue.

Owning IP is fine. Products ending up in a landfill due to software is not.

Hopefully the law also expands to actually owning all of a product you own. Not paying BMW to unlock the heated seats already in the car you fully paid for.

I thought I didn’t like jumpscares either. Until the forest. Damn things sneak up on me and I don’t know I was more fight then flight.

Thanks to the internet you can’t easily stop that. BBC will keep covering it.

Holy shit this is crazy.

And major news outlets aren’t covering this due to the billionaire class owning mass media.

I feel like there should be a law to release the bits we need to support these efforts.

Too many times a product will die or a company will fold along with all its documentation.

Maybe release a final firmware opening up a product. Or at the very least a git repo with api documentation.

Yeah that’s a solid recap.

I now possess the knowledge about generating power to life off the grid using old motors salvaged from a junkyard thanks to my own personal research and video tutorials.

My intent with bringing that up is the hope of the existence of a document covering this topic in a preppers backup.

In a post apocalyptic scenario humanity has been proven to band together in groups and cooperate to survive. It’s less murder/greed and more sharing/helping. In these small groups it would only take one prepper or even an engineer to setup a generator or even just get solar panels to hookup for basic electricity.

Many of these points could be moot in a nuclear scenario where were dealing with EMPs and radiation.

Yeah my first thought was wondering what community projects exist to generate a guide to download all this info. I knew you could download all of Wikipedia but not the rest.

I’ve seen people make power generators using old washing machine motors. Youtube is full of them. Cutting PVC pipes to make wind ones and even water based ones off of rivers.

I feel like some people would figure out basic electrical grids for led lights in homes at night and possibly a battery bank made of car batteries or something.

Getting a laptop working in that environment wouldn’t be too far of a stretch. Just need to find an old brother laser printer and a Linux USB and you’re golden.

Print off the critical farming/water treatment stuff you need and power it off.

Am I’m my 40s now. Can confirm 20s me and 30s me made stupid decisions bit that’s life.

Horror games are some of the most immersive experiences in VR.

The Forest is the only one I’ve played since VR is included in the base game.

That shit is fucking terrifying. I scraped my hand up good punching a table while fighting something.

Yeah but imagine if we had a laptop motherboard standard like desktops.

Instead of ATX it would be something like MLF - Modular Laptop Framework

Where there would be some board standard for laptop boards.

Then you get screen ribbon standards, keyboard ribbon standards, etc.

This would allow one to order a laptop case with screen, keyboard and touchpad. But you can pick your board, cpu, ram.

I know some companies have done GPU upgrades but how nice would it be to upgrade your 4 year old $3k laptop’s GPU?

Agreed but in most larger businesses swap out the laptops around 3-5 years.

Consumers use laptop 5-10+ until they die.

Bullshit. My aunt has a washing machine with all knobs and switches that’s probably 30+ years old and it still works fine.

They need to stop putting all these digital components into washing machines or make the boards standardized so they can be easily swapped out. These aren’t laptops that you toss after 3-5 years. Appliances should last 10-20 years.

I was expecting high bugs bunny memes…

Good to note

Agreed. Website works perfectly fine on mobile.

You can even take the website and “add to homepage” on android effectively making it a webapp.

I don’t know why people install apps…
