This guy made some out of drill bits if you want to DIY.

Yeah, that’s why I brought it up. I always assumed they were high in the 60s too.

Was going to bring up interest rates, but apparently a 30 year mortgage in 1960 was something like 7%. Which…isn’t that bad.

Allow yourself to be bored. You’ll find the motivation.

There are studies that show that people care for things more if they had a hand in creating/fixing them.

Though I personally have more of a love hate relationship with my IKEA furniture.

Ch00ftech.com though it’s been a hot decade since I’ve published anything.

Over the past week, I’ve repaired an air filter that had a corroded trace inside its fan motor controller, a pair of Bluetooth headphones that had sweat ingress bust the power button, and I’m working on rebuilding an LCD driver for an old piece of Mattel electronics.

I’m very interested in this article.

Edit: and I forgot to mention the time a few months ago where a friend ordered a walking treadmill from Amazon that was DOA, so they just sent her a new one and told her to scrap the original. Turns out the power connector was unplugged from the mainboard receptacle.

But like…that requires work. The whole point of an AI band is to not do any work.

This is a spray and pray approach. Generate 200 songs. Hope one gets popular, make money off that from Spotify. Move on. Switch genres.

Outside of law enforcement, this is certainly how shitty customer service policies get enforced. In other words, “Computer says no”.

My high school bully graduated second in our class and clearly thought he was destined to great things. Ran into him four years later, he was attending grad school a few states over. Confirmed he was still an asshole.

Looked him up a decade later. He’s a grade school teacher. Teaching is an incredibly noble pursuit and a miserably thankless job. I hope he’s enjoying it.
