Okay, I'm more then halfway through and still don't get what DSL is an acronym for. Any light?

Explain that Mr. M was the catch phrase the host would say after Mr. M perform the trick (illusion Michael) and before he showed how it was done.
Hum, I remember it as "What about now, Mr M?" ("E agora, Mr. M?")

How would a toilet with no electronics require an internet connection?
It wouldn't, but, if the vendor somehow made it require one, despite the very impressive technical feat, I'd feel cheated. Robbed, even.

Sorry to potentially pour oil into fire here, but I'm curious: did they really?
"Officially support" printing without internet connection?
Was this explicitly documented as a feature or did this just "happen to work" as you expected?
A lawsuit may have some leverage to find that something could have been "reasonably expected" to work in a certain way, but that's quite uncertain territory.
i.e. I would expect an Apple Watch to also work with Android Devices, but this was never officially supported by Apple and it's arguable whether it was reasonable for me to even expect this.
My toilet doesn't officially support crapping without an internet connection either. I'd argue that in both cases it's implicit unless very explicitly disclaimed.

I’m no boat expert but doesn’t your statement imply some level of ease of dragging a boat out of the water to perform this operation? Something tells me that pulling a 40 foot sailboat out of the water, turning it over, painting it, and returning it into the water isn’t necessarily the most straightforward operation. A lot of complexity is probably loaded into “it takes us” and if we took a gander at the hourly rates of everyone involved in said operation as well as the upfront cost of the equipment to perform said operation as well as the safety measures required to execute the operation properly I feel like we would be a lot closer to the $7k number than the $250 number
Turning it over seems unnecessary. Good point overall, though.

>or firmware hack.
There's still the question of how the explosive capsule would have been triggered. It couldn't just explode at the first incoming call. There must be more to that.
Might be a hardcoded date and time.
Does the legit pager messaging network give the time?
If not, continually powered digital clocks drift slowly.

Very cool concept, congratulations!
I do have two bugs to report.
1) I only see static until I fiddle with the mute button, which makes the image work besides working as expected. As soon as I change channel, all static again until I hit mute. I'm on Chrome over Windows using a corporate network.
2) The info button shows a reasonable email address, and, under "Support", the string "bc1q4s2f6df2cqa8stenwp8y5tlmd5pywy8dwqqxvh". I have no idea what to do with that string.

Startup idea: online text editor that logs every keystroke and blockchains a hash of all logs every day. If you're accused of AI use, you can pull up the whole painstaking writing process and prove it's real.

This article is pretty content-free, but if you're interested in this field, I recommend reading RV Jones' book "Most Secret War". It was one of the first books to be written about work done in secret during WW2 and benefits from being a first-hand account.

I find it contentful enough, but yeah, it doesn't get into the "how" of science and engineering at all.
