at Facebook the sysadmins got locked out and they couldn’t get in when the site went down. that sounded funny.

oh yeah i remember that, iirc it was something really stupid like their internal logins used their employees' facebook accounts because zuckerberg is an idiot so the facebook authentication servers meant their internal stuff was hosed

Fortunately reality has an unpatched priviliege-escalation security flaw that allows manipulation of restricted objects by creating a physics interaction with an owned object.

You can rip out the board on a Bird scooter and replace it with one for a Xiaomi M365 for under $30.

In my head canon, someone's face too closely matches the dog's rear end, so they blurred it out of respect for dog rear end face person's privacy, but the dog face was an outlier that was pruned.

You could probably wash it and get it completely cleaned and running with a bath of R-34A/Tetreafluroethane/Freon, but there is no way you could possibly justify the environmental impact unless you had a way to completely recapture) recycle the Freon. If you want to scavenge anything with a lithium battery, you're better off letting it just dry out and pull it apart for the electronics, aluminum, and lithium batteries.

If you want to just start one, I can't recommend you actually do it, but you're better off just picking them up off the sidewalk

If I'm replacing the logic board, I may as well replace the battery pack while I have it apart; it seems like a good idea on anything upcycled like that.
