You’re either going to download it or burn it to the ground.
At this point I think I would

Nah. It would just power up and have no data connection. Unless you bought it in Israel…

When I was young we downloaded cars, and burned our houses to CD-R.

Who the hell thought that anyone wouldn’t download a pirated house? How out of touch do they need to be?!
merc@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Did you know that you can 3d print a house in less than 24 hours? You can’t download the concrete, but you could download the plans.
We’re maybe slowly creeping towards a post-scarcity world. If we can avoid destroying ourselves or the planet in the next century, we might get there. But, the entrenched interests are holding on with their fingernails.
One awful example of this is library books.
In the before times, people had to go and take an actual physical book out of the library. Along came e-books. In theory, a library now only needed to buy a single copy of a book and they could lend it out to everyone. It’s no surprise that they didn’t do that, instead if they want to loan out 10 copies at a time, they buy 10 books.
What’s really stupid is that the publishers weren’t satisfied with that arrangement. They also want to simulate wear and tear on these digital ebooks, so it can be just like paperbacks. So, after 26 loans, DRM on the ebooks means they self-destruct.
functionIsOdd@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That article you linked about 26 loans is from 2011. Do you know if they still do that or they decided to roll it back or something? I couldn’t find anything about it other then more articles from 2011
merc@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I don’t know if it’s exactly the same, but they definitely have a limited number of loans before the library is forced to buy another copy.
Here’s an article from 2023 by a librarian with more details:
Other titles are metered. This is essentially a lease. Libraries purchase a title for time, 12 to 24 months or by checkouts, usually 26. When the terms of the lease expire the item is no longer available and has to be repurchased.

Need to rework that to use clay and then many areas could print the house from what’s available under the land.

That’s MY HOUSE you bookstack! You thieving oil barrel! I was IN THAT HOUSE. I STILL AM. Put us down and LET ME OUT. Where is the exit??
SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I think that buying and living in a yurt would be a better option than trying to buy a house.

Big ol’ Yurt. 2 or 3 if you have or want to start a family
-
Solar-powered electric generator
-
Vegetable garden
-
Located near Lake Superior
I can definitely see myself living that kind of life.

HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I totally would.
Problem is, too many greedy people would hook up so many storage drives to download thousands of houses that my house would not have any space left on earth to place it once it is finally finished downloading.
cmoney@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If the outlet has an earth ground and you left the USB plugged in long enough, you would eventually download the earth, then it’s just copy, paste you got your own earth.

Up vote this shit! If I could, I would download a bunker 20 stories below ground with a jump jet/helipad and 3 in door pools and fun dungeon.

I might turn the master bedroom into a workshop.

I’d download a house or a car in a heartbeat, and never feel the tiniest inkling of guilt.
computerscientistII@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
I just bought a house. It costs me an arm and a leg. I’ll have to pay about 13 years until it is paid off. I would so download it instead, if I could.
visnudeva@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I would if I could

Shit, if I had enough filament, I’d 3D print a house.
Be better if I had one of them concrete printers, used for actually printing houses tho.
dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Except building the concrete structure is the easiest and fastest part of building a house anyway. Not that concrete printing is not helpful, it is, but with a task that’s a minor part of building a house anyway.
bufalo1973@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
There are concrete 3D printers that can do the job.

Now I wonder what would happen if you put a USB killer into one of these.
Khanzarate@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Pretty sure it’d fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn’t even get through it.
If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it’d act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.
No idea for sure though and I’m not an electrician.
huquad@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Time to go to a friends house. I have experiments to conduct.
Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
it depends on if the charger is just a standard 5v 5w supply or if it’s a fast charger i think, because a standard supply doesn’t have anything hooked up to the data lines that can be killed
yesman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
For safety, never plug an unknown USB drive into your house.
