Making functional teapot takes about 10 queries. You just have to make the pot and spout hollow and move the handle outside.

Totally functional tea-pot production solution already. All you need to do is to automatize the display function and STL-production and any granny can print her own teapot without understanding nothing about computers and 3D-printers.

Those grannies are already making teapots, it's called pottery.

A while ago I was at our patio table with my 4 year old, we were building a house/castle thing out of scrap cardboard. At one point while painting it she pauses and looks over at the garden/woods. I asked her what she saw, she smiled at me and said, "I'm just... happy." I'll never forget it :-)

The rules are indeed stated in a robotic, and somewhat patronizing way, as if written by a mild aspie to teach a stronger aspie the rules.

As you note, most of them are generally true though, and some just kind of obvious to a high empathy person.

Not really, it's so mixed that I wouldnt advise a neurodivergent person to follow them, how would you know which one is good?

I don't think the author is sympathetic to autistic people:

"If you engage in less socially acceptable self-stimulatory behaviors that involve clenched muscles, quick jerky movements, rocking, or vocalizations, strangers will likely be afraid to talk to you, and even people you already know may be embarrassed to be with you in public."

You shouldn't be with people that are embarrassed to be with you, as those behaviors are usually not controllable, this is terrible.

Some good advice, but a lot of stuff is just weird or robotic and it has some surprisingly judgmental comments.

The gender page is just strange, most of those sounds so american or old fashioned.

edit: sources are mostly old, there are no sources from less than 10 years which is bad if you're trying to describe current social behaviors, the average source on the gender page is from 2002...

As someone in cybersecurity, it is handy as a low frequency RFID reader as Android phones only support higher frequency. Having something compact and in a single unit (compared to a Proxmark) makes it easier to 'grab-n-go'. It is neat to show people how insecure common access control systems are.

I've also used it as a universal remote more than a few times on devices that didn't come with a remote. The App running on a phone makes it somewhat easy to transfer new remote templates to the Flipper over Bluetooth.

It also comes in handy as a serial adapter as it has GPIO pins you can connect to things (UART headers).

The RF transceiver is also cool to capture RF remotes (garage doors, overhead fans, etc.) and replay them.

Do you mean the non IR kind?

No US prisoner is forced to work in any meaningful sense of the word "forced". They can just not work, they won't get beaten for it, they won't get killed for it. In some states, they are required to work. It's not the same as being forced to work. Being a criminal does not entitled them to free room and board on the taxpayer dime, in fact in a just world, society would be entitled to restitution from the criminal.

There is no better time and place to be a criminal in the US than today. Criminals are being coddled, which is why most Democrat cities are so crime-ridden.

"Refusal to work can be met with solitary confinement and physical beatings"

They are not getting enslaved. The temporary loss of liberties for conviction and sentencing happens in every single western country. This is not slavery.

I don't know if you're being good faith, prisoners are forced to work

People loosing their liberties because of breaking the law — as determined by due process — is not slavery. They may feel enslaved, but again they cannot feel enslaved in any meaningful sense of the word because they are not enslaved in any meaningful sense of the word.

what are you talking about? Getting enslaved because you "broke the law" is as old as slavery

Other countries have had 20 times the population of America for centuries and yet pre H1b America invented all modern computing, the internet, etc etc as we know it.

Not worried about other countries AT ALL.

> all modern computing

not true

> the internet

www was invented at CERN by tim berner-lee though?

Or somebody in another country?
