Youtube hearted comments of Pete Venuti (@petevenuti7355).

  1. Rather unnerving how empty it was. I mean personally, I prefer that I'm not a people person, and I like my privacy. But I know it's also a bad sign for the continuation of its business and that makes me very sad to see it that empty.

  2. A working off line mode would be a must! Just listen for callsign maybe one or two other words & auto record. Using with the cloud could be a bonus if thats what you want.

  3. If the charging cable isn't proprietary, then I would say it's not an issue, I think most of us have extra charging cables cuz that's usually the first thing that breaks on almost anything!

  4. The 915 MHz network reminds me of the metrocom ricochet network in NY NY, it's been gone for 25yrs , but they did bring it back up a short time after 9-11. I would love to know how to piggyback on the bandwidth of those smart meters, if it could be done without interfering with the operation of the overall system.

  5.  @boondocktechnologies  I haven't personally played with the esp32, but I was under the impression that it would be powerful enough to at least listen for one word, the call sign. So if it's not powerful enough what about a FPGA? Too expensive?

  6. 18 ft tall or 18 ft diameter and what's the diameter of that trampoline up there? I got a nice big gash across the bridge of my nose from dropping a 'dish' satellite dish on my face from the roof of my garage today so be careful. Don't skimp on mounting

  7. Attach a disc to each end of both of them and make them giant water wheels , put a platform on top for a cool boat!

  8. Fourth of July's coming, you can always fill them up with oxygen and acetylene, or just pure oxygen and propane even.. Use to jack up a large structure first, then ignite and launch sed large structure.. Dorothy won't be in Kansas anymore 😜 On that topic , maybe as a tornado buster, fill it with said gas mixture put in path of the tornado and ignite when tornado hits it, stop the tornado much like they stop burning oil fields...

  9. Think they could be useful in your sandstone cave to cause, prevent for remediate cave-ins? Perhaps an inflatable drain plug for a man-made lake?

  10. Looks like it would be just as treacherous for swimmers as it would be for boats. Also curious how many caves are under the water! Beautiful. Glad you had a good trip.

  11. Cover with foil and turn it into a big high voltage capacitor!

  12. ​ @saveitforparts  one of the metal rods out of a busted dot matrix printer that still has set screws on the gears, screw alligator clips in the holes using screw posts, (after sticking it through a tight grommet so it stays where you put it) maybe use some playdough to hold the magnifying glass if you can't find a bendy arm.. I made my own back in the early eighties, I tried to patent it, but they stole my idea , when I threatened to sue , they just said I was under 18 so there was never a legal contract and couldn't higher a lawyer on my own. I get pissed off every time I see one of those things!!!! My parents were no help, discouraged all my inventions.. But if you made your own , that would be cool.

  13. A red light to indicate your work is on fire...😅 How did you not laugh!

  14. You found one for $40? , I could come up with $40 for a microwave imager.. (still looking for high rez flir for that price)

  15. Does anybody here remember "free world dial-up" , an early adopter voice over IP over the internet thing , they even had phones from Thailand that was voice over IP over Wi-Fi, nobody else did anything like that! It was incredible. You just needed a $300 Cisco router and at least two permanent ISDN connections at maybe a thousand a month. And with that you could have free long distance calls! Great savings! Of course this was the 90s, and if you spent a few hours on the phone to the nearest city you're getting a $300 or $500 phone bill, so I'm actually serious it would save you tons of money, especially if you had a long distance relationship with a psychiatrist that does their appointments over the phone. I mean just imagine having the free cash to spend a few thousand dollars on your phone bill and still be able to pay your $300 rent!

  16. ​ @saveitforparts  seriously though I find sometimes the green and less so the blue are better at NOT attracting bugs then yellow bug lights

  17. I never understood why the newest stuff needs so many times the resolution of the human eye! A few times for digital zoom, that's it. With my eyesight that's 5x too much.

  18. If it was 10-15 years ago when my son was still in his train phase , he would have loved that. That was before his Godzilla phase... I have no idea what he's into now, 18 and moved out already...

  19. Of all your "resource pile" , what has an FPGA in it? I want to find one in my pile to do something like this and not sure where to look... "Resource pile" is what I call my hord , feel free to use that....

  20. Looks like someone tried to take my advice and go practice learning how to drive in a cemetery (since can't hurt anyone already dead) At least they didn't run over the tumbstones.

  21. My myspace profile pic was taken on one of those... Is it possible to go to myspace without getting infected by a computer virus yet? Anyway, can you leave that to me in your will? Im sure you will live longer, but just in case 😉

  22. Don't suppose there is a rust ide/compiler for Android?

  24. I'm sure those chips you through back world worth more than the bathtub cost you!

  25. The hard drive magnets are worth $60 a pound. More if you sell them as magnets.

  26. Well I didn't know Kindles were based on Android! Can you run any kind of chroot or Proot environment like androix or userland apps to run a Debian system? Do you know if rooting them is easier/ harder, safer or less safe than an Android phone?

  27. Could become a vacuum chamber?

  28. A emergency space blanket is only a dollar or two, could have saved a bunch on that tape..

  29.  @ArtOfTheProblem  I believe that would require some internal feedback that doesn't require a prompt, and that it could also indicate an internal dialogue or at least the ability to model the concept of other entities outside and separate from its immediate interaction. Like I said that would be a milestone.

  30.  @ArtOfTheProblem  oh now that's a hard one to articulate but it's definitely a step closer to AGI. I've been thinking of this kind of stuff since I was a kid but I couldn't have come up with the attention mechanism currently used. I'll get back to you soon hopefully with something more than the most vague of answers

  31. You need baggy cargo pants so the cat can fit in your pocket.

  32. NanoDNA looking more like something I need.

  33. I wanted to hear what that sounded like on your roof!!! Did you go on the highway, did you make warp 4? Warp9 or go to plaid?

  34. I've been trolling for a find like this since ebay began!!!

  35. That actually looks too easy for you! . You are ... Squirrel... Really lucky with all that interesting stuff around you, I can't seem to find anything like that for 500 miles and I have no driver's license.

  36.  @saveitforparts  I have a small frame one myself that I intend to put a space blanket on to use as a solar concentrator. The second comment was probably wiped because I made a joke about welding sheet metal to your trampoline frame then hydroforming it with a material that creates rapid shock waves maybe involving a collab with DemolitionRanch... You get it... The algorithm probably took me a little too serious. Still , I bet no one on YouTube made a paraboloid that way before!

  37. I still got my version one somewhere never had to use it... still have the original box too, I sure hope you help find out some way to make it useful.

  38. Now I feel like you're selling me something 😅 , I mean, well, you are. I appreciate all your reviews. At least interesting if not relevant. My boss would get a kick out of it if I showed up in the ocha approved shit. For the irony.

  39. You're really going full-time in on this YouTube thing aren't ya‽

  40. Did you interview Douglas hofstetter? Or was that just a clip? I want to see the whole thing..

  41. Your resprator likely saved you from getting drunk on zinc fumes... The Fibers are the least of your concerns , but if you are worried, spray down the blanket with a little sodium silicate (waterglass) , it will cause the surface of the blanket to melt together into actual glass, don't use much as too much of the blanket may turn to glass and melt through. Sodium silicate is a good chemical to have around, it is good for bonding another layer of rockwool or to repair it in the future, it will help bond your cement and make your cement harder and less porosity , it also makes a good flux like Borax, also mixed in your sand molds it makes them sturdier and able to hold more detail... beyond that i would definitely go with everything @carpespasm said, he said everything else i could possibly think of. Not having the right tongs made me cringe... Maybe now you can forge your own!

  42. Do you know of a single system image OS that can do that? Anything I've been able to find is grossly out of date , discontinued and often not in English.

  43.  @andrekz9138  it looks like a great resource , I bookmarked that to my favorites. I'll ask that question there. Thank you. Checking it out I searched a few questions I knew about and some I didn't... The results of that experiment were mixed. I saw someone asked a question about using IDE or SCSI for a computer to address another computer instead of a disc drive (as in like a network protocol) , the answer was a suggestion to use iSCSI to share a drive... That kind of answer reduced my optimism...it wasn't what he was asking. There wasn't much about raspberry pi But there were a lot of very well constructed informative answers about virtual machines & pass through, PCI cards, and RAID configurations among other things... AGAIN THANK YOU .I bookmarked that reference.

  45. I just want that promise of a sub $30 board (prefer networking built in) but one that I can add to (finally a full pcie!).

  46.  @RECESSIM  I got my hands on one of the old ricochet pole mounts and a few of the modems, do you know anything about them or got any tips how I should go about dissecting them?

  47. That could run "collapse OS" As in; https://youtube.com/shorts/qJCiugT7jj8?si=p-2-g7EGpqL4N6W_ I I think it's funny how that short insinuates that z80 computers would be easy to find in a post-apocalyptic world😆

  48. Let's see fox network play this video sometime, yeah right.. I appreciate the quality and personally of your productions. It's great you have an outlet and audience. Thank you!

  49. System for writing things down in a coherent organized way... That's the hard part, And once you get it, BACK IT UP!

  50. Question, how is the proverbial singularity at the bottom of a black hole any different? Isn't it just another Infiniti in a finite space just four dimensions?
