@thor Impulsivity is what screws me over the most.

@thor Plus the nutritional value of the skin is important. Out of context I sound like Buffalo Bill.

@thor It's free real estate.

@thor ALSO the old synthesizers just sound amazing. Like caveman make fire. New fire is not like old fire. Old fire better.

@thor I remember Pico 8 being on my Pocket CHIP. At the time I was intrigued by such a concept. I've seen it even extend to PS1 and N64.

One positive part of the masses taking a hit from a nostalgia pipe is the concept of minimalism. Seeing a Raspberry Pi blinking a LED light as part of a project is infuriating to me. Using an Arduino UNO is at least 4 times better.

Furthermore, projects like Mister utilizing a powerful FPGA actually recreate systems is reassuring. It only devolves to a state where actual innovations are made. All of this provides access to young programmers so the ends justified the means.

@PawelK It could become another Russia. I don't think the end will be the end.

@PawelK Damn war. Ukraine will have quite the military after this ends. Hopefully they will not try to annex other countries.

@PawelK @kotik That reminds me of an old Russian video where two cops are sent after a rabid dog. One got mauled but they eventually put it down. It's showing up that counts.

A raccoon not doing the same would be shocking.

@PawelK Lessons learned from American jets in desert environments. Also the horrible turbines in the F14, fire a missile and the exhaust could destroy the turbines. Also geese getting in turbines. It's a fragile thing that sucks in whatever it can to make thrust.

@PawelK The cameras could easily get to a helicopter. I don't think the original Stinger could touch fighter planes but it sure did hit the helicopters. Multi spectra sensors could just connect to the smart phone and possibly hit the stealth planes or better yet, send ceramic beads into the air around the fighter. Those turbines would be shredded.

@PawelK Perhaps so. It's probably all the mayonnaise and dumplings that help them survive.

@PawelK It seems like a smart phone could be used in an inexpensive MANPADS system. A modification of the Wild Weasel runs could be used against the latest fighters. Get them to use radar, lock onto the signal and let a few varieties of missiles loose.

@PawelK I just found it one day, Molchat Doma seems to lead to that.

I don't question the dancing cow but 5 grams?

@PawelK That is good advice. I don't have the resources to throw at the Xbox One. A modem should be easier and should be oddly familiar.

It's crazy how far they have come. Cold War radar systems technology is being used. I think beam forming and smart antennas are being used in modems now. It's not really important to study that but it's impressive.

Curwa seems to be more versatile than I thought.

@PawelK If I fry a console I could probably get another for not much cost. Microsoft hardened everything. The PS4 with its nearly identical hardware has been cracked. This seems like it will require exploiting the CPU itself.

So that's what has been keeping me up at night and busy researching. For such a low value target, modems look like easy money in comparison.

@PawelK This feels like being trolled. Decade old hardware and firmware from Microsoft have yet to be publicly cracked. I only have an Xbox One because a friend was about to sell it or throw it away.
