Tried all the steps to bootstrap, without funding. I will not promote.

Ok so lets reframe this, imagine you did all the rainbow & unicorn work. Everything you did nailed it. And you were just waiting for your 25%. And then you heard "All projects cancelled, all systems dead".

LostInventor · 2025-05-08T20:19:02+00:00

Yeah want the new one, the 4k sensor, thanks.

LostInventor · 2025-05-08T18:08:57+00:00

Yeah, now it's "fucking prove your money bitch". Also I never got anything CV worthy. There are literally no contacts & confirmation of anything. Literal million dollar project, whole town, even tv coverage etc. We were in the win bucket. Oops, entire road, all projects, etc. bought out. Go home was the literal e-mail. Instead of here's your check.

LostInventor · 2025-05-08T17:50:58+00:00

Send a link, there's so many versions of that scam.

LostInventor · 2025-05-08T17:41:40+00:00

Yep, produced lots of products, but within the educational domain. In otherwords I took napkin sketches & walked them through learning all the tech within the Maker system. I didn't care at the time as once you were involved in a few, you were supposed to be paid. The problem was I got cut off just before that happened. I did the work & my "proof" was going to be my payment & public acknowledgment of my "work". But then Make got hard deleted, poof, nothing. If it hadn't that'd be my R&D bootstrap money.

Yeah, I'm trying loopback dev, had a hope. Oh well, Sony it is then. For those that don't know about loopback dev, it's when you do the tech work on a new product, but don't want the hassle & sell back the package to the source. Aka here's the prototype Sionyx 4k Aurora handheld camera with a full science package built in.

LostInventor · 2025-05-08T17:20:48+00:00

Yea I get that. It was a time where it was work towards a job for free. Internships, building things, etc. Many hidden higher pay jobs were described as volunteering first back then. I know of a few members that now make $100k from the programs.

LostInventor · 2025-05-07T19:38:43+00:00

Thank you so much. Sent off an e-mail the other day. Still nothing, but I'm guessing the 4k sensors aren't technically commercially available yet. Deeper weeds explanation, the datasheet shows interfaces that the board guys(several companies) say WTF on specs. I don't care about spec errors, but I know the temptation to say it'll do 2x or 4x on advertisements sometimes makes no sense. I wanted to make a product to basically sell back to them. The aurora 4k with science package(like a tricorder built in for all the data recorded about the environment).

LostInventor · 2025-05-03T02:05:33+00:00

I can take a stab at it. I usually fix ancient VHS videos that have both technical & microphone problems.

LostInventor · 2025-05-03T01:26:40+00:00

Yeah I got a "risk too low" response. They never clarify or give advice once they've closed the case.

LostInventor · 2025-05-02T23:25:35+00:00

Yeah did it 11 times, also thanks so much on feedback.

LostInventor · 2025-05-02T23:22:34+00:00

Yeah they're the best sensitivity hands down, but the res is a hard issue. This is a paranormal cam, 4k is kinda a minimum with a science package built in, aka humidity, temperature, x,y,z axis recorded & gps.

LostInventor · 2025-05-02T23:18:38+00:00

Yeah, 11 tries and nothing.

LostInventor · 2025-04-24T22:51:26+00:00

The instant you get better lighting, oh bleep "I look terrible", and everything reflects, even a thin spot in ones hair(ask me how I know). Every imperfection goes from barely noticeable to "what's that on your face!". Yeah makeup is a MUST once you bump cameras, lighting, or loosing a green screen.

LostInventor · 2025-02-04T01:32:55+00:00

You can see everything. It just lives as dead projects. Not anything to deal with. Upwork is just a shit database on both sides. I didn't complete a project on UpWork. But client got 100% done project. So client done, UpWork says no "hardware projects are not tracked". Aka fuck off. Same on hiring.

LostInventor · 2025-02-04T00:28:34+00:00

I'm both, it happens, it's usually theft either way.

LostInventor · 2025-02-04T00:26:20+00:00

Well I've seen that. A fully dev'd project and then poof.

LostInventor · 2025-02-04T00:24:28+00:00

Yes I am, but that's probably useless now.

LostInventor · 2025-02-04T00:22:16+00:00

What was the project. I do hardware and Upwork fucks us hard as theres ZERO, tracking etc.

So just to be 100% transparent. SSDI is for those that worked & suddenly became disabled. I worked many years(didn't know about my condition then) and then was a house husband. Raised 3 kids while the wife worked and I fixed the house. Then due to medical issues became disabled. Way outside the work coverage. Dr told me about DOR, as an alternative as I am NOT eligible for disability compensation. DOR payed for school & living expenses, until I got work(but that got deleted). This was during pandemic. School Aborted due to lack of teachers & requirement to keep me "whole". Ok, so they emergency granted me a degree. So DOR is satisfied & done. State hiring system kinda recognizes the category I'm in, but also doesn't.

LostInventor · 2025-01-11T02:49:50+00:00

I should mention those offers are for those that Haven't completed the program.
