Doesn’t that bypass an electronic lock per the DMCA?

There’s quite a few different YouTube channels dedicated to finding scrap metal or even a guy who owns a scrap metal business who pays for scrap metal, processes it, then sells it to various foundries to be melted down into something new.

I personally like to buy used items and resell them on eBay. Sometimes at thrift stores, but also garage sales and estate auctions. You can find auctions nearby on a site called hibid. I also sell my old unused items on eBay as well or even parts from broken items. Just look up the item on eBay and filter by sold.

Scrap metal. I always leave my scrap metal out on trash day next to the trash can. A guy in a pickup will come around and get it. I would have to save it up for years for it to be worth a single trip, but he’s getting a full load or two every day. I’m sure I’ve lost out on a few hundred bucks over the years.

I’m sure if you started an electronics recycling company or a clean out business you could get people to pay you to take their stuff.

Americans could stand to lose some weight.

I have an 01’ Volvo. It has an alarm siren under the bumper. They put a nicad battery in the siren so that even if the main battery is cut the alarm can go off. This battery is prone to going bad, leaking out, and ruining the control board. This will cause the sunroof to not work. The rest of the car is still fine. You will get an error message about the security system, but the car will start. You just can’t use the sunroof.

If you catch the problem in time, you can cut the siren open and replace the battery, there is also some way to eliminate the alarm feature through reprogramming I think. I have also seen an aftermarket board that will take it’s place.

I just live without the sunroof as it’s not worth fixing.

It’s in the list I linked on pcpartpicker they’re about $50 more.

The best GPU to buy right now would be an Intel arc a770. You can get them for under $300 with 16gb vram.

You should also make sure that you have a motherboard and CPU that supports a feature called “resizeable bar”

That’s ridiculous. Everyone has a level of sexuality that they won’t tolerate.

Everyone got an MBA and failed to realize it was just corporate brainwashing.

You would think that Microsoft would implement some basic error handing.

Can’t get hacked if your machine isn’t running.

Google coral TPU has been around for years and it’s cheap. Works well for object detection.

There’s a lot of use cases in manufacturing where you can do automated inspection of parts as they go by on a conveyor, or have a robot arm pick and place parts/boxes/pallets etc.

Those types of systems have been around for decades, but they can always be improved.

Also, buy a mainstream phone that is guaranteed to get updates. I’ve saved money from buying lower tier phones in the past, but then they stop getting updates within a few years, making them worthless. With a mainstream phone you can sell it and upgrade every few years.

There’s a HUD study that basically says the same thing. That people who receive housing vouchers and live in HCOL areas have better outcomes than people who live in LCOL areas. Not just because income to housing ratio is better, but also because of better education and job opportunities in high density areas.

You also have the advantage of percentage based employer retirement contributions and health insurance costs being relatively similar, so you’re getting more benefit from higher pay.

If you’re looking at a used car, enter the vin number into Google. It will often bring up photos from any auctions it went through and you might see that it had been in a wreck and fixed without being reported to Carfax.

If you’re getting water stuck in your ear then you probably have compacted wax in there that is getting stuck behind.

Also works with golf tees or dowels.

Yeah, I worked at a plastic bottle plant, one of 30 nationally in just that one company making beverage and food containers. None of them were necessary, it’s a huge waste of resources. Look around you, consider the amount of resources it took to make everything around you.

One decent sized factory uses more power in one hour than I do all year. There’s millions of them.
