Motors are also generators. So if you wire 2 motors directly together, one will prevent the other from turning with a force equal to the torque applied to it. There will be some losses but it might be possible to accomplish this goal with some combination of transistors and not require a processor at all.

Just some old nerd who wants to kill everyone’s fun.

In order to predict the universe we need to know where every particle is and what it’s doing. The act of observing a particle changes its behavior (because some energy needs to interact with it) so we can never know because once we measure it, it will change.

Considering you do this continuously internally, probably not.

If it offers any comfort, it doesn’t matter. Quantum mechanics says it’s not possible to get the required information to predict it if everything is deterministic.

It’s supposed to refer to meta materials that physically or chemically change after it’s been printed. Like printing something that’s slowly changes color or expands or something(without outside influences) . Not sure how it applies here?

You can get a cheap smart scale that links to your phone then just completely remove the display. https://a.co/d/7vipkjB

Your eyes have a “frame rate” in that the reactions of the cells in your eyes are not instant. This “frame rate” is ~60fps but not the whole frame at once and there’s motion blurring etc so the effective frame rate is closer to 30fps although some people can perceive 60fps. The exact same thing that makes videos appear to spin the wrong way also happens in your eye but alittle differently.

… yes it is? I’ve oversimplified but using properties of other hardware are often used as part of the security. Windows uses the trusted platform module on your mother board but before that it used motherboard serial numbers and other properties. Apple basically does the same thing but it’s in the processor. I’m not a security expert but I’m fairly certain that’s part of how iOS operates. You can replace the NAND and flash the corresponding key onto it but you can’t recover data without the cpu.

Yes. And the cpu acts as part of an encryption key. This (and other things) is why apple products have absolutely amazing security while also allowing you to sign on with a 4 digit pin or face/finger print. Imagine needing to enter a 64 bit number every time you turn your phone on. Android handles this differently but is also less secure - source, I’m a software engineer who works on Android phones. I use iPhone.

Will this work, probably. Will it be effectively the same as just telling them it upsets you while also causing a bunch of annoying bureaucratic shit, probably.

How far down does this requirement go? iPhones use part pairing for their cpu and nand chips. It’s a security feature (in addition to a cash grab) so you can’t just take the nand chip out and read the data.

Ya we just can’t produce a practical and stable amount yet. We need batteries. Batteries means mining lithium. For now, danger hotdog is the best solution.

Simply put, nuclear waste isn’t as dangerous as you think it is and we put it in fancy containers is places where we can deal with it. Of course there are mistakes and issues but we also dumped thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean. I choose danger hot dog over danger soup.

The waste to output ratio is DRASTICALLY less than our other energy production methods. We can power a city for a month with fuel the size of a hot dog. Then we just stick it in the ground and it’s safe effectively forever. As opposed to digging a giant hole for coal. Or killing a bunch of penguins for some oil. Both are significant sources of pollution and don’t produce anywhere near as much energy. The carbon mass is definitely greater than a hotdog for the equivalent energy output.

Either current or it’s used to tell the device that a proper connection has been made and it can continue with whatever it wants to send through.

Because it takes alot of power to spin those motors that fast and a larger battery means more weight and even more power.

If you know someone good with it stuff(outside the company), there are log files of events in windows that can be used to determine when and why the camera is activated and where it’s sending data even if it’s hacked. You might need to turn on some additional logging but someone with an it background can set this up. You’ll get information about what is active, what data it grabs and where it sends it. You can also use witeshark or a similar program to monitor all network traffic to and from your computer and intercept it. However, since it’s a corporate computer, you likely signed some agreement that means they can access anything on the computer including any connected cameras whenever they want.

As shitty as this is, some cellphones are actually designed with stress tolerance specifically so people can do this. (Mostly industrial ones that get thrown on charging docks that are basically this but less ugly and more expensive) I wouldn’t be surprised if the switch is capable of doing this without being damaged considering how well it’s designed to not break when children rip the controllers off etc.

Looks like solid works but it could also be fusion 360 or similar.

This is really cool and impressive! Are you going to 3D print most of it? I assume the gears are off the shelf since they’re a pain in the ass to print. Do you have more detailed pictures? Or the model if you’re willing to share. I’m interested in how the motors are arranged and any feedback sensors that you’re using.
