RE: What are the rules for sockpuppets here?
@otter I'm inclined to say, "Don't be a dick," but that would eliminate most of the non-sockpuppet accounts, too.

RE: Gululu - The Interactive Water Bottle Tracker
@PJH What exactly does it track? Does it track the bottle's location? 'Cuz for $129, my biggest concern would be, where did my kid leave it when he ran off to play?

The Register asked Apple about its patent strategy, just because we enjoy the ritual of sending email and having it ignored.

"Don't you fucking dare Google, or I will run you through a goddamn woodchipper."
All of Google? I am now hoping that Google bombards you with Coldplay 24/7.

@loopback0 said in In other hostile takeover Tweets...:
they're really more involved in Twitter than their profile suggests.
Is that supposed to be in indication of legitimacy or a red flag?

It's the price in s. CAD happens to be the first item in the list of currency options, so maybe that's what it's grabbing?
Display the CAD price, but label it USD. Good jorb!

RE: Today in Blakeyrat is always several years behind in every tech trend news...
@Zerosquare I think it's moot, anyway. While researching appropriate material, I learned that mere possession of a class 3b or class 4 laser requires that I be registered/certificated/permitted by the Texas Dept. of Health. So unless I ever decide to start an actual business using it, . It may be that these regulations only apply to business use, not hobby use, but I'm not inclined to take chances with it.

whatever filter material makes viewing safe
Yeah, if I knew what that is. I'd have to do research on that. If/when I decide I want to get the laser module, I'll look into what I need to make an enclosure.

RE: Today in Blakeyrat is always several years behind in every tech trend news...
@Zerosquare There's a competitor that sells an enclosure for their machine that (if properly installed, closed, etc.) reduces the class 4 radiation to class 1 or 1A or something like that. I haven't found a similar enclosure for this one. It would, of course, be a simple task to build an opaque enclosure; not so simple to make one you can see through to observe whether the machine is doing what it's supposed to be doing.

@boomzilla As opposed to old trolls, who may get very hard for a very long time if they're not careful about sunlight.

I bought myself a thing:
I have no idea why the embed says . The actual price is $849.00, or $1043.10 with the 4th axis module (save $54.90 for buying them together, which I did).
It's also compatible with this, which I didn't buy (yet?). I'm not sure I really want a class 4 laser in my garage.

RE: 🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
This seems to be the thread in which we've most often discussed sovereign citizens. This one's a Kiwi. (Note: The similarly named fruit is almost certainly smarter than this alleged human.) She has some very bad ideas:
