For Android: learn the hard reset combo for your phone, especially if you encrypt it.

After rebooting, pattern/PIN will be required to decrypt the phone. Biometrics won’t work for this step. This is what graphene does for security, tries to keep the phone in a “before first unlock” state by rebooting on a timer. You can’t even read anything over USB/ADB, it’s scrambled until you unlock the phone.

The only drawback to just keeping your phone in this state is none of your apps are loaded, so no notifications/updates/processing at all.

Perfect size for a Coral Edge TPU. do some tensorflow stuff on device…

Reposting as top level comment also: these are PWDIS drives: if you’re not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset. Might be worth doing the taping anyway, if you’re using an enclosure or cage (where you can’t use the adapters) Just be aware.

2nd catch, behind the power on time: PWDIS drives: if you’re not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset.

The kicker to this sort of thing, is the pirated versions usually have the checks removed… and don’t need internet.

Nintendo went after a emu dev team that was actively (and demonstratively) enabling piracy for something they are currently selling. On top of that, the dev team is making significant money off of that work, to the tune of 30k/mo. Every other dev is probably thinking “finally, the other shoe drops on this obvious outcome”, most avoid making money off it, and also avoid current systems, both for just this reason. The relieving part is Nintendo’s argument isn’t about the emulator specifically, there’s nothing in the injunction stopping yuzu from continuing, and a settlement means no legal precedent.

Edit: Read more, the settlement includes stopping development.

I mean, small developers who set up a money-making pateron based on an emulator for a currently sold system, without providing a way to pull your own system info or games from carts (and is therefore heavily reliant on piracy of things currently being sold by the parent company to run) is basically screwed, but this isn’t news, and pretty much every other emu dev would run away screaming from such a setup.

They really put themselves in this boat, but since that money-making pateron is a thing, they’re probably wiping those tears with dollar bills.

-128 sounds like an error for sure. move your hub closer could help. If you’re sure it’s not a distance/signal issue it’s the hub itself.

can I 3d print PETG objects, use them, put them in the dishwasher, and then safely reuse them?

No.

Replace the extruder. The plastic one will break, and screw up your day. It may already be broken even. Anything is better, even a drop-in metal copy of the existing one. If you want to spend a lil $$ to future-proof yourself, look into a BMG.

Check around your local walmart/target/walgreens etc, that have those photo labs/booths. Some have proper bulk photo scanners publicly available, and will (or you can) pass your photos through one and spit out a CD for fairly cheap (sub-$10 last I checked, but years ago).

Early wyze cams with openmiko/dafang or wz_mini_hacks will do what you want.

Both have options for local recording. openmiko and dafang are complete firmware replacements, so no internet needed at all. wz_mini is a overlay on top of stock firmware, so it may call home (and not work properly if it can’t) if you’re using that.

Wyze Cam v2 is stupid cheap rn ($17 shipped from wyze above), and run off usb, so bring your own 5v otherwise, through whatever method you want (large battery, solar charging brick). Add microSD for the local recording. You even get some night vision with it. Openmiko is easy to install and configure, so it scales well.

As far as #4, nothing is going to connect directly from phone to camera to view videos without some cloud service or intermediary. You can access whatever on the cameras via SSH/SCP, but that isn’t “simple”. And either way, it will “need to be connected to any type of network like WiFi” for this access, so #1 and #4 are mutually incompatible for the most part.

I haven’t seen anything that has a bluetooth connection for access.

If you want to get really fancy and can leave them connected, you can use a (free) aggregator like iSpy (NOT Agent DVR, their paid replacement) to get it all recorded and in the same place. Then you can use stuff like motion detection to reduce recorded video to useful footage, and save money on the SD cards.
