My only comment is being able to call emergency services wherever you are is very useful. Pre-cell phone times was just hoping there was a landline somewhere. And you weren't able to get instructions from the operator and be with a fallen person at the same time.

The whole thing is bogus, you could plop the hardware in the middle of a desert and have everything perform way better for cheaper.

I'm surprised nvidia put their name on this.

Summary: He was logged doing a search for the "North American Man/Boy Love Association", and then after downloaded some kind of VM access/TOR software the logging ended.

I'm surprised this isn't mentioned much here, there's a lot of reddit comments that picked up on this and the OP (self-identified as the wife) isn't replying to any, only the ones that fit her story.

The OP here also downplays a lot of what the husband did. He was on probation from DDOSing and then physically damaging company equipment after he was fired. Then on probation from that he smoked weed, ghosted his probation officer, broke the terms.

I've always loved quirky CPU designs like this, and having one layed out in logic gates is amazing.

I'm having trouble running the file though, it's missing a chip, "74181.dig". Can you point me to where to download that or add it to the repo?

If you see the video, the initial iteration just looks like specs of mud on the plate with the letters+numbers still fully readable. His ultimate goal is a custom plate frame that looks normal to the human eye but can block camera readings.

I can see this as being legal because it's still human readable.

Plate readers aren't expected to be 100% reliable as is (angles, lighting, network goes down, etc.) Plates get dirty, sometimes rusty. Also you can't test your own plate for machine readability against all the different types of systems cops use, so how could you reasonably know the issue is on your end and how to fix it?

That shouldn't be too hard actually if you know some soldering!

Hook the speaker and mic up to the phone part, wire the hang up switch or rotary pulser to the musical tone button.

The ring might be a little quiet but this would be real easy to setup quick.

Keeping it when tech can't keep up is genuinely a good hack for any kind of engineering. Physical lock out tag out on industrial machines for instance. Passing paper notes/wooden blocks in air traffic control towers to see who's responsible for what even if computers go down.

Free. Friends go through android phones all the time. You can pick up $20 ones new or cheaper ones on ebay or whatever.

How are you getting the chip, micro controller, extra electrical components, breadboard/proto board, and power supply for $7?

It's not supposed to, the big value of those is variables and combining rules together in a modular way. You'd define your own gap-1. It's not supposed to be a design system.

Every cellphone without a valid service plan is still required to be able to call 911 in most places of the world, including the US, and carriers eat the costs. It should be obvious why.

Frankly it's weird they're making a clone of a classic touch tone corded phone and somehow get around this. Especially for a kids product when we teach kids to call 911 in an emergency.
