  1. No justice, no peace, never trust the police! That's why I won't install any government-mandated app. Especially since what I stand for goes against the official politics of this backwards country right next to Germany.

  3. Oh yeah!

  4. Just a passive aggressive business model: if a manufacturer is made to make things possible to repair, they'll make parts so expensive that repairing is not economically viable. And they have an excuse (in other words, a public relations gag) just in case anyone is criticizing their practices. Same old. Nice captioning, I like it. Oreo too :)

  5. On a verge of bad journalism or bad PC building? Either way - please, don't jump, for crying out loud!

  6. Cool! Things are moving forward, I see. I can't understand why anyone should associate R2R with redlining or racism. That's just literal fuckin' bullshit! I realize that when it comes to poly-ticks, people tend to lose their shit (and reason too), but it's such a gross non-sequitur that it makes my skin crawl.

  9. WTF?! An instant fire and explosion hazard - looks hella scary! "The only ones qualified", as if they were talking about inverse qualification. No one else would do such a shitty job. Thanks for sharing.

  11. "...lways, I hope you learned something! Bye for now." Oh yeah, I love the old-school paper books - and I never ever used the e-book thing (unless we're talking PDF on my laptop). No one is gonna take my access away but they take up space, are heavy to carry if dealing with lots of them... that's the only drawback but I accept it. People have been doing this for decades and no one gave a shit. Same for music, movies and games. Only the physical copy, possibly with backups in case the original gets destroyed. If digital, keep it on the devices you have full control over (I've been a GNU/Linux advocate for 12 years now...), never trust "The Cloud", own things and make them butthurt! Speaking of which, I like your new merch.

  12. Yeah, the deepfake shitshow. Know about that old Soviet photo with Lenin speaking and Trotsky literally taken out of the picture when he became inconvenient for the regime? Now it's easier than ever before to pull that kind of shenanigans... Think about 1984. We already have a MASSIVE problem with people not practicing critical thinking. Putting AI-generated content on top of that will make things exponentially worse.

  13. Your coffee comments made my day! And damn right on freedom of speech. I wonder if Dave will make a follow-up video. And yes, there's something really fishy going on about your other channel. Ha. Ain't that the truth. Just don't let anyone who's got Mr Clinton's ear to hear that.

  14. I've come to talk with you again, haha :) Of course it's got nothing to do with the fact that it's electric. That's just one technology among many others. The problem is with today's business, design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing culture. Indoctrinating people with safety while not giving a flying fanspin about it, they only care about the short-term profit by maximizing sales, and other than that, nothing else. That's TRWTF here. Fair point about not buying new stuff. As a 35 year old (post-)punker and free spirit who would sure as hell ride a vintage motorcycle (if I could afford that, but has a fleet of Dutch pedal-powered beauties including a cargo trike), I buy only secondhand, and would stick to my guns even if I was not broke as shit. Paywalling slow speeds? Oh c'mon, for crying out loud. It's a damn safety feature, why should ANYONE limit it?

  15. LOL. Why don't they add a separate option for showing the number of dislikes? Mr Clinton is all too happy. No need to meow today!

  16. Damn right, it's so true. Toxic perfectionism is the thing to do away with.

  17. Berry rolled for initiative and got the highest score while Clinton patiently (or... catiently?) sits there waiting for reelection and protecting his reputation by not letting anyone bribe him. And Oreo is just too sweet for all the petty poly-ticks (poly being many, and ticks are bloodsucking creatures). Yes, I learned a lot! :D

  18. Self-hate, sounds very familiar to many folks with gender dysphoria. At some point you just can't live with it anymore and it's the turning point where you take the risk, despite all the adversity, hatred and difficulties you're gonna face as an out or even perceived trans person, you come out to yourself and then to others, start transitioning. I know the pain very well. Not only that... I felt like shit many times in my life, faced with the choice between calling it a life and changing something I went for the latter. Nota bene: only a part of trans people experience dysphoria; there are different kinds and intensities of it too - which made me hold myself back from transitioning for almost fifteen years since I realized just because I kept telling myself that my case is "not serious enough" because I didn't really hate what I was born with since my childhood. Times change, for the better IMO.

  21. Hi there, you've got a big fuckin' thank you for these words! I fully agree that getting into repairs is relatively easy if you're willing to work hard learning the stuff, and while I'm not doing repairs on kitchen tables anymore (unless I'm working on a customer's device at their place, which happens with household appliances) and I've set up a nice electronics lab, Keritech is not yet officially a business and won't be until it's profitable enough. Pet Oreo big time from me! :)

  22. I'm so glad that you made it! It's a huge success, one of the many to come. Keep that up and inspire countless people, like you did up till now <3

  24. Capitalism is a strange game. The only winning move is not to play. But it'll be around as long as people will see no alternatives to go for. I'm on the disgruntled "screw this!" crowd, but still doing my thing in my lab and hanging out with other hackers.

  25. Suck'em dry economics and rampant landlordosis - glad you're calling BS on that. Same in Poland and it was a thing back then as well. Good luck on running your business in a new place! 0:55 1.3M for something that can only be torn down and built anew? They gotta be shitting us.

  26. WTF? That's some insane and unintended social engineering pwnage... Should have never ever happened. C'mon corporations - get your shit together, review your processes! My home automation devices NEVER connect to anything in the internet and every one of them either is non-essential, easily replaceable or has manual override. I run them with an on-premise hub (Supla + MQTT) I personally installed on a Raspberry Pi, and if that thing tries to pull off some shenanigans, I'm quick to dig deep and tackle that.

  31. It's the landlordosis bullshit again... Good thing you checked and exposed that scam. They'll rip you off for total shit... hell if you knew right away it was gonna be shit, but it's simply shit covered with chocolate.

  32. Keeping a healthy lifestyle is good, but integrating it with your day-to-day life so that you treat it as something so simple and obvious rather than a set of particular activities you do for your health is even better. I don't have to spend time or money to go to a gym - I just ride a bike going to my customers, doing shopping or running errands; I live on the fifth floor in a tenement house, so I end up going up the stairs quite a lot, etc. And sometimes I have rough sex too :). And I stay away from addictions (alcohol, smoking, drugs) because I knew it was bullshit from a very young age, seeing my mom smoke and pay lots of cash for cigs made me stick to the decision that I'm not going down that way. All the better for now, at least it doesn't fuck with my hormone replacement therapy.

  33. Good thing y'all take some time to move around. Sitting there all day long makes people butthurt, like we've seen with the NYC mayor :)

  37. Those who compete with Dymo and HP must take great care lest they become Dymo or HP themselves, and when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss will stare right into you. Some nice kitty love here.

  39. "You can't always get what you want" --The Rolling Stones I sometimes wonder if you're on the autism spectrum. Got what was formerly called Asperger's syndrome myself. Won't hestitate to use it! You're another one (because Fran said it in her "Approval" podcast) to say what I was thinking for a loooooooong time. It's something about being ambitious in science and tech, but I think it can relate to any field, like sports etc. It's also something about being past the initial stage of Dunning-Kruger curve, when you realize your incompetence and become humble, allowing yourself to learn. The more advanced we get and the more complex, challenging etc. the stuff that we do is, the more "genius" we are considered by those who can't do it, but still our horizons are far away, we look up to the people who can do far better and more advanced stuff than us, and feel little in comparison. Like me compared to Fran, or Fran compared to e.g. Einstein or others she looks up to. Permanent impostor syndrome. Being praised by those who are not on our level yet doesn't cut it for us - it's being praised by those whose level we want to reach that matters. Like me back in 2000s, when I was building amps already and was buddies with a professional amp builder (Piotr Stanisz of Black Dog Amplification), I saw his amps inside and they were very clean and elegant, so I got inspired to build mine better, and better, and better still, and he appreciated my work quality. Felt absolutely great. And if something was wrong, we talked about it, and I learned. Looking for answers to life, universe and everything. There must be something more than the 42 everyone knows. Well, maybe it was supposed to be 420, but the zero was lost at some point? Sometimes I wonder about Dave Jones' failures and how he got where he is now. Would totally love if he got philosophical, like you or Fran. Always appreciating thoughts and insights from people who know their stuff.

  40. Makes me wonder how long the warranty was on the battery, and how oversized it was in order to ensure that lifespan. But still, including any killswitch-like feature sucks big fuckin' time.

  41. You hit the nail squarely on the head here - it's about protecting their revenue streams, thus maintaining the power in the context of the market and economy in general.

  46. Seeing it all over Poland... Maybe not riots, but complacency and material fatigue. Antivaxxers are rather strong here, too. That doesn't help at all. Daily new cases reaching 20k now. Last year the misgovernment tried to blame the Women's Strike movement for the surge in infections, but that was bullshit. Now no massive protests and a lot of infections nevertheless. Fortunately the misgovernment didn't go the route of lockdowns again, because they totally destroyed many branches of our economy and I think that if they were to do that again, they'd be in for a civil war, and they're losing support big time. I had two jabs and will be going for the third one - I trust science, I'm definitely pro vax, and I'm also somewhere between individualist and collectivist, caring about individual freedoms as well as the reasonable common interest such as getting this pandemic over and done with. So, I'm for wearing these masks in closed spaces, getting the shots, keeping distance, limiting unnecessary contact etc., and intensifying precautions if the local situation is getting serious.

  47. Sounds like a fuckin' scam. Or bureaucrats having such a total mess in their systems that not even the toughest brains would be able to take care of. And as for running a business in the Big Apple, gotta ask Fran or Ladyada.

  50. I love your ranting, it really reminds me of Dave Jones (EEVBlog), and that's absolutely fuckin' brilliant! :) As for that guy talking about TikTok... is he a poor wannabe standup comedian, or what? Who cares anyway? If only he was talking about installing some actual malware, servicepeople looking through stuff or other sketchy shit going on... but his anal argument tells it all. Samson Electronics, you say? The company that does pro audio gear, or someone else?
