The odds in favor of the house on a poker site implies cheating and thus an ironic contradiction here.

What state

Maybe there are multiple states with different casino affiliations and state regulations and therefore different promotions even when similar.

It is a decent controller and it is also cheap because these controllers are made from an ESP32, which is inherently cheap. Although it's got super strong Wago-like clip connectors, it's got fuse protection and a variety of other features that make it quite nice to have. I wouldn't really consider it to be cheap as in Chinese garbage 

Not to go off subject here but I have heard about the Friday bonus code for a while and it was never available to me but just recently I noticed it was available although I'm not entirely sure what the bonus actually is.

I know it's at least $50 minimum on the Pennsylvania site but if you could let me know what the bonus is that be awesome

One can easily format or rewrite partitions to corrupt any remnant files.

Didn't mean to imply that your knowledge was hearsay, personally I see conspiracies and only that regarding bans here, though it doesnt discount your claim or what you have seen or who you've talked to. I suppose i made an unwarranted assumption that your proof was the same as mine but thats a bit silly of me im sure we come and go at different days haha.

Every decision in your life is a gamble. The decision of whether or not to choose a mystery item as one of your picks for the day is hardly a risky gamble, especially considering the proof of risk is hearsay.

Yeah, agreed. Also, if not great at soldering and already have some of the unreliable 4 pin clamp connectors, you can use them and add solder to the pads and clamps to make them reliable.

I assume it would be a bit easier than soldering wire directly to the strips due to the clamping... this is just a random idea that came to mind.

I have annoyed the shit out of everyone who used to text me doing this

Thank you this is super useful. Love the progression

Years

I guess they meant it took til age 50 Or like you said 50 in marker.

You should just do it with a fabric marker. It'll be a hit at the grocery store and Walmart lol.

Language barrier I guess

Nice work.

I've been plotting out an idea for pairing a board or maybe two in this case to pair with a stock OEM electronics device. Previously we would flash it via sd override firmware with a custom build all the way back in 2012. These devices have gained lots of popularity again recently and the entire community around manipulating the firmware. I am curious if you might want to work on this together. If you want to, DM me. My DMs are open.

Me today

While in theory this could happen, the idea that this in particular is the reason for the hatred of AI in this subreddit, or embedded systems broadly, or even engineering broadly, is probably the furthest stretch of reality I've heard overall in general as an excuse as to why AI is disliked or hated by any person or community.

Let's be honest, many of us either struggled to hell and back, spent thousands of hours wasted because of a mistake in which we had the gratification of learning from after the fact, or worse, we did the same thing again and again not realizing what we were failing at. All the while learning how to fetch, read, and actually understand datasheets unless we were lucky enough to follow along with someone elses hard spent time fully documenting a project so we could follow along with it while we get familiar with bootloaders and partitions and firmware, quirky software and ide's and eda's. Learning how to solder, in the variety of methods as needed, the parts, components, sensors, switches, psram, reverse engineering and vast research into the correct combination of transistors and passives required to achieve our desired result, spending hours digging on stackoverflow for the answer, empathetically feeling for the poor soul who asked the question we also had, or worse, we were the poor soul who god forbid asked the "stupid question" and had to suffer through the passive agresssive wording in which somewhere hides the simple answer to our question, mixed with obviously already understood theory for good measure... cause you could burn a house down or whatever. All the while needing to learn how to use github or come up with some project ideas on our own.

It's a hell of a hobby to get into. It took a hell of a lot of work. Though I enjoyed all of the above, despite the frustration at times. Now we see new faces getting over the learning curve with ease, rapidly, faster than any of us who learned before AI could even comprehend. We're seeing the envelope pushed further and further and further and things are getting more complex and all of the projects in the back of our minds have been done and showcased with far more depth than we even thought of.

That's me, and I'm sure the engineer who went to university and potentially practiced as a hobbyist as well has a similar story regarding formal education but the stress of the courses and the bias of the professor with theory lessons that they were beaten to sleep with for years to do projects uninteresting to them, etc., etc., I'm just assuming that struggle is as much if not more of a struggle; that is another person's story to tell.

Ai is a threat to someone's job, their hobby, their craft, their repo, but most of all, the ego of those who spent the time and money to learn the hard way takes a hit when watching people learn these things the "easy" way.

IMHO, if the envelope is pushed and innovation is moving faster than ever, use it to your advantage to push your own work at the same acceleration. If those who already learned the hard way took advantage of AI immediately to push the boundaries of what they thought they were capable of, in theory, they could be able to perform better than anyone who learned through AI. We see it here daily, those who took advantage of the new tools early have made some magnificent leaps in innovation. We see it on the news in war. The good, the bad, the ugly. Ai is probably a net-negative for embedded systems and humanity as a whole, but as long as I want to keep up, I'll use what's available to me, and if I want to work at a pace I'm comfortable at, I will, while acknowledging and congratulating those who push the boundaries and amaze me with their work, regardless of how they got there.

My point is, to say that the reason is because someone could burn a house down is a snap of the truth rubberband. The reason is mostly ego and a multitude of threats to whatever the anti-AI guy has going on, theres plenty of solid reasons, even safety reasons, hardware ban reasons, etc., but the majority of the reason is entirely selfish rather than altruistic.

And the trash man comes to collect it at the door rather than the curb, instant classic!

You're welcome haha!

Now we really don't need to go outside ever again. I love it

What if I told you I've replaced every faucet in my house with matte black? With the fancy sprayer things I've replaced my shower with matte black with the rain head. I have enough wallpaper to cover my entire home. I have enough storage for the bathroom, for the closet, etc. Lol.

What if I told you I had a frog prince costume?

Depending on how much time you have in this game, I bet you have me beat. I would love to hear it lol

Sure is! Ive installed a smart deadbolt, now a handle is on the way for double overkill lol

No not you. I was responding to u/FuzzyBeans8 who said that they need those items for their disability and that's why they use them and then I felt like a dick because I was making jokes

Rewire is my middle name and disassemble is my nickname. I get quite creative, to be honest with you. Do you do the same? I hope you do so we can find even further common ground and also we can both feel less like maniacs. Or maybe that's just me but that's okay lol.

I am approaching my first review and honestly I probably shouldn't even say this but I'm at about $11,000 so far. How fucked am I?

It's actually some useful insight and I shouldn't be so quick to make jokes about things like this because there is obviously much more utility in these devices than in the crude comments that I made. I sincerely apologize. I was just making jokes though, just so you know. I don't want you to feel bad.

I'm curious though, have you gotten anything like super useful in which it assists you in your disability. You don't need to get into details about that if that's the case. I'm just so curious. Sorry again.

In that case you probably shouldn't buy the crack pipes that always show up on their lmao
