I have a gun a lot like the Chinese knockoffs. It was a pistol hand made in the Phillipines by the resistance during the war. Hand made, looks a lot like a .45, down to wood grips and the corrugated section for pulling back the slide. But it doesn't slide, it's a break open and you put in a shotgun shell.

Never, ever going to load it, much less pull the trigger!

Crossposting this because it's a doozey!

We all know USB devices that fake their storage capacity right? That's old hat. This is a new one I encountered firsthand!

Humphreys posted:

So this is a bit weird...

I bought a USB Optical drive a month or so ago (this was ebay but via china so I will provide links to both sources that I can find). It works reading discs and I used it barely - ripped some DVDs to discs etc.

So on the weekend I'm loving around with some PS1 game burning and getting very frustrated at one of my consoles as it wasn't reading anything I burnt. Tested audio CDs to isolate out modchip incompatibilities. I was going in loops and bought new CDs that were recommended, adjusted the laser and a lot of swearing.

Nope this drive PRETENDS to burn discs! I had a stack of discs I thought were failed burns that in fact were BLANK but reported in ImgBurn to complete fine. After reloading the discs they come up as empty and were burnable on another computer!

Here is an incredibly boring 7 minute video outlining it. Hoped to do it all in one take to limit claims of shenanigans from the seller/eBay:

This is the one I bought:

It's probably cheaper to make a working DVD-RW drive than to implement some weird firmware that can fake it.

I love that “Tallahassee” is inadvertently spelled correctly, as though it was already such a nonsense word that it fit right in with the rest.

At best it can detect certain kinds of wireless devices but it's not like cameras have specific detectable components, certainly not with that

It doesn't just detect ghosts, it can also detect solid objects, if the aerial hits something, there is an object.

Curious as to why it is localized to Israel though.

I actually own one of those and it loving sucks. It only detects spirits and wraiths. Once it detected a poltergeist but that's as close as it got.
