- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 1 week ago:
I don’t believe there is a way to transfer posts. You could probably create a bot that scrapes and recreates them, but all the original users would be lost. Best to just start from scratch, nothing here needs to be permanent anyway.

You go to the new instance, create an account and create the community.

Find the most distasteful subrdit you can find, and sub to it.

That’s a bit more than docs for a mouse, that’s technical documentation for a chip…

- Comment on Do smoke detectors have little speakers inside them? If yes, would it be possible to hack them to play a little jingle? 5 weeks ago:
A basic speaker is functionally a copper coil next to a permanent magnet. A hard drive head (although I guess more specifically read arm?) is also a copper coil next to a permanent magnet. So if you push an audio signal through the coil, it vibrates and makes sound. It’s missing the diaphram/cone part of the speaker, so it’ll be very tinny.
If you want to make one yourself, get a broken hard drive, and an old pair of headphones, and connect the wires to the coil and play some music.

Never seen it before, never been so happy getting rickrolled :D

Never tried floopy drives, good acoustics?

You can also make hard drive heads play music. Poor quality music, but music.
Multiple piezoelectric buzzers could probably play a tune if you tune them to individual notes. Not sure how to tune them, but probably cutting them, or putting bluetak on them would alter their note.

Hell may be a step up, certainly sounds a bit better organised…

It doesn’t, and people do lie in court. It’s a relic of a time when people supposedly were afraid of going to hell.

- Comment on The PS5 has no games! smh 2 months ago:
It’s a good site for that, because it’s a very non-suspicious domain name. It’s also a very bland technical site, so you won’t know it’s about buttplugs until you scroll to the bottom.

Clear win for xbox: iostindex.com/devices/…/xbox compatible gamepad/
(Site is for programmable buttplugs, and all things that vibrate. You may not want to visit from a work PC. Or you might, your call)

Can I introduce you to the concept of “fire” :D
A single bitflip wiping your novel is incredibly unlikely, to the point of being almost impossible. Modern OSs and filesystems are fairly resilient, and the data is likely all still there.
- Comment on how to dust properly 2 months ago:
Damp cloth to capture the dust? Or a strong vacuum to capture it once airborne?
- Comment on Hypothetically, if your were a kid and your parents worked for a government intelligence agency, how would you keep secrets / have privacy from your parents? 2 months ago:
Even in the US it would be punishable. Morality aside, using a billion dollar NSA malware on a person carries a real risk of getting caught. The NSA might be willing to wear that risk for a high value person, but not for some employees kid.
Purely on a misuse of a valuable asset it would be punishable.
- Comment on We always seen/heard/read about dumb criminals. Has the opposite ever been true a smart criminal? Not including that white collar crap? 2 months ago:
A truly smart criminal wouldn’t get caught. So you could argue any of the unsolved crimes were “smart”. But equally likely that they were just lucky.

Some fine point tweezers are usually useful for getting lint out of the USB port, I have done it fairly aggressively and not done any damage yet.
