watch strange days

or maybe freejack

they're both terrible and grimy for their own reasons.

freejack is maybe the worst book adaptation, also maybe the worst movie starring Mick Jagger.

it's supposed to be based on Immortality Inc. by Robert Sheckley, which is really good proto-cyberpunk from the 50s.

Why American Farmers Are Hacking Their Tractors With Ukrainian Firmware

A license agreement John Deere required farmers to sign in October forbids nearly all repair and modification to farming equipment, and prevents farmers from suing for "crop loss, lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use of equipment … arising from the performance or non-performance of any aspect of the software." The agreement applies to anyone who turns the key or otherwise uses a John Deere tractor with embedded software. It means that only John Deere dealerships and "authorized" repair shops can work on newer tractors.

"If a farmer bought the tractor, he should be able to do whatever he wants with it," Kevin Kenney, a farmer and right-to-repair advocate in Nebraska, told me. "You want to replace a transmission and you take it to an independent mechanic—he can put in the new transmission but the tractor can't drive out of the shop. Deere charges $230, plus $130 an hour for a technician to drive out and plug a connector into their USB port to authorize the part."

"What you've got is technicians running around here with cracked Ukrainian John Deere software that they bought off the black market," he added.

Black Hawk vs. RC Fidget Spinner: 0 -1

https://nypost.com/2017/09/22/army-helicopter-hit-by-drone/

quote:

It was nearly Black Hawk down over Staten Island — when an Army chopper was struck by an illegally flying drone over a residential neighborhood, authorities said Friday.

The UA60 helicopter was flying 500 feet over Midland Beach alongside another Black Hawk, when the drone struck the chopper at around 8:15 p.m. Thursday, causing damage to its rotor blades.

an economy based on social crypto-cred is literaly the plot of Down and out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow.

please don’t read or take his advice. he wrote maybe the dumbest sci-fi short story about nerds hacking their bodies with Linux and becoming super...and he named the story 0wnz0red:rolleye:

yeah, but that was good.

in the Doctorow story it’s a post-scarcity world where “whuffie” has replaced money. and you earn whuffie by writing good blog posts or something.

Check this out

Go and buy a box of the fat foamy earplugs that you have to roll up to put them in your ears (they have like 30db noise reduction)

Cut a pair of them in half with scissors, and take the rounded tips. Punch a hole in center or those with a leather punch or, if you haven't got one, an icepick or large nail.

Then get a set of cheap in-ear headphones and remove the rubber tips and stretch those foam things over the ends. Squeeze them down to install them in your ears. You now have the most comfortable headphones on the planet with the greatest possible noise reduction.

I was just on a flight with a child shrieking so loud that they had three wincing flight attendants trying to calm it down, and through my headphone/plugs I could barely even notice it. Fantastic

Or you could just buy some KOSS the Plug earbuds.
