oh sweet jesus. I found some raspi-based GPS/RFID devices at ewaste, right? and they had a mini-PCIe WLAN card, complete with SIM card in it.

The SIM card is still active.

@foone I feel like certain companies negotiated “free lifetime” cellular data for their iot devices and knowing big corp they just released them into the world

I had a 3G one of these in my CPAP and it kept working until they shut down the 3G network. These things are like a sucking chest wound on the cellular carrier is balance sheets, so I’m sure that this is a factor in non-backwards compatible cellular data service

I did some pre-build planning for another Terrible Keyboard and in the process discovered that you can buy uranium ore on amazon.

maybe I should scale this one back a bit

So there's always the debate between QWERTY and alphabetical keyboards, but everyone is missing the obvious way to solve this disagreement.

There's no reason the alphabet HAS to be in that order. It's arbitrary, and English would work almost completely the same if the alphabet was in a different order, you know?

So, let's just put the alphabet in QWERTY order!
It'd solve all our problems from Q to M.

@foone I get about two thirds through it and keep tripping on “semicolon”

When are they gonna make a smartphone with a built in RFID cloner? It'd make managing all those fobs easier

I just tried to order a pizza and it wanted my credit card expiration date, so I entered "05/28" (example date only)

it then came back with a "your card is expired" error. Uh, no it isn't? that date is still several years in the future.

did... did this site just take my date and assume I mean May of the year AD 28? That is indeed very expired! that's what I get for trying to use Jesus's card.

@foone it could
also be 28 months into 2005, which would be April 2007, which is also much expired. God i hate datetime programming shit

The Roman empire fell because their Roman numerals weren't a form of positional notation, so they couldn't figure out binary. Their computers were terrible.
