Spoofing amiibos on TOTK


Same! Pretty handy to have all amiibos in a single place, and quickly iterate through them.


You can likely use your phone. There’s some apps designed for it specifically.


IIRC phones need to be rooted to pretend to be an NFC card, although they can write to blank ones. I've done this before. The Flipper Zero is a lot more convenient though.


Ah yeah you’re right. What I’ve seen actually only lets you write to tags that can then be used.


Yeet


Even the native original version needs the proper context. Sometimes you need the entire sentence to figure out what the sentence was really about.

I'm reminded of Mark Twain complaining about verbs arriving at the very end of sentencess in German (among a myriad of other complaints)

"The Awful German Language* -Mark Twain https://faculty.georgetown.edu/jod/texts/twain.german.html


Sometimes you even need a second sentence of even a few to understand what the first sentence was about.


It is specially useful, it is not especially/generally useful lol

It could be a typo, though I think when we say something "isn't specially/specifically/particularly useful" we mean "compared to the set of all features, specifically this subset feature is not that useful" not that the feature isn't useful for specific things


Indeed! I should have written "especially" not "specially"


I'm surprised the seeds would survive the heat and pressure of a shotgun cartridge blast that contained enough gun powder to embed them in a wall


Seeds are incredibly resilient in many cases. Also, shotgun shells come in a range of power level and configuration. Something like birdshot replaced with seeds would make sense to me.


it didn't embed them into the wall but in cracks and spaces where they could germinate.


The uphill battle of unleaded avgas leaves both the main players in the industry and the regulators themselves looking bad—but in a banal kinda way.

I enjoy AVWeb on YT for AV news (really, I just enjoy the humor/personality of Paul Bertorelli lol), here are a few insightful videos that summarize the story:

90% of the time I remember running into it, it was just used to reverse a copy of the list. (i.e. 'a = l[::-1]')


Small story about the time I read the collection Feynman's letters (I think it's a book called Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track)

The beginning of the book contained a lot of cute letters between him and his wife Arline. I was curious how much of the book would be this, considering I know she died of TB, so I flipped ahead and saw a letter to her quite a few more pages in, so I figured she must survive until at least that point. I continued reading and was emotionally caught off guard when she died only a couple of pages later. I'm not sure why I was so distraught at the death of someone I did not know who died 80 years ago, but I was looking forward to, and had the expectation of, a few more cute letters between them.

When I got to the letter that I had originally flipped to, it was the one he was writing after her death as a form of therapy to himself.

FWIW, they had a very cute relationship and the letters are worth reading for that alone.


The average crypto bro might be more against iris scanning than the general population.


No, the average crypto bro doesn't care about crypto, privacy or anything like that. The average crypto bro only cares about the opportunity to profit, and will gladly let the devil himself scan their iris as long as they get some digital tokens they can dump to someone else.

Truly unfortunate, because what Worldcoin is doing is completely opposite of the original cryptocurrency ideal.


No, because the average crypto bro will get tricked into thinking anything is a good idea and secure when you mention 'blockchain'.


for every 1 dreamy utopian hacker crypto bro you have 99 running a get rich quick scheme, if they can pump and dump the worldcoin, they will, even if it would include ripping the eyeballs off the customers


What about the crypto gals?


Those crypto gals over there? total bros


I also haven't heard of it, but I'm curious of the "when acquiring it" part of the quote.

Did the current owner not create the site? Did they acquire an anonymous file sharing site and are now shutting it down for the predictable anonymous file sharing issues?

Perhaps it's an English translation issue or something, but, in common parlance, the word "acquire" means to buy or obtain from elsewhere. (I don't think they are referring to the domain name itself, because that has nothing to do with the complaints listed.)


I was confused as well because I remember anonfiles being around at least a decade, which seems to be the case (first archive.org snapshots are from 2011). I suppose it does mean that the current owner bought it but it doesn't seem like they made any major changes. The layout and functionality of the site stayed pretty much the same for the entirety of its existence.
