  2lbs seems... like a lot for those small things.

  Clearly some science is in order.

    It’s hyperbole in an attempt to weaponize methheads. But yeah, go grab a few and test it, maybe we weaponize meme skeptics too.

      I love it.

  Why would you use grams for gold (as you should) but then switch to pounds for copper. Are you a lunatic?

    Yes I am American.

    907.184 grams of copper, happy now? Lol

      The US usually consistently uses imperial, which sucks but it’s consistent. England switches between the two constantly. They’re crazy people, and they use measures like “stone” for weight sometimes too. Metric is obviously the better system, but consistency is better than randomly deciding which to use when.

    It’s funny that Europeans complain about Americans being dumb but also can’t comprehend converting units of measurement.

      We could, but why should we? I can easily switch between grams, kilograms and tonnes. Hell I can tell you that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. I am not going to deal with gallons per square inch of pounds

      Europeans

      This is the the real way I know you’re American lol.

      It’s the WHOLE WORLD other than you (and perhaps special mention to the UK and Canada being weirdos using multiple systems)

      We can comprehend it. We just don’t see why we should be the ones doing it instead of the few idiots who still measure things with their feet instead of doing what everyone else is doing

    Also the gold likely needs some pretty expensive chemicals to extract.

  Contains like $100 in batteries which have no theft registry and are easily rewrapped at a vape shop. Also often an rpi or other general purpose SBC so $300 isn’t far off. Some even have nice separate camera

    Do they have GPS locators? They’re going to need to be disabled liberated first.

• humble_boatsman@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  My concern is once it comes off the pole. You will no doubt have to take it home to extract. Does it not have a way of being tracked?

    IFixit teardown when?

    Just wrap it in tin foil. It’ll be fine

    Smash it and pull out the battery

      If they want to tackle this problem they could add a separate low power tracker embedded in the body somewhere. Prolly not doing it yet but if they do you’d have to know where it is to cut it out.

    I’ve heard rumors there’s an unsecured unmonitored usbC port on almost all of them. Completely unrelated: Did you know you can buy USBC power devices that overload any port they’re plugged into and fry whatever device they’re connected to? It’s true they sell them on Amazon! What a fun rabbit hole to get lost in, sorry I’m rambling with my completely unconnected train of thoughts!

    Personally if I was gonna rip one of these apart I’d just drive into the mountains and rend it down in the back of my truck.

  What’s all this copper in? That’s a large motor-worth of copper.

    That’s a shit ton of gold too. Gold in electronics is used to coat connectors and is only present in trace amounts.
