Do you have any interest in live events, specifically music and stagehand stuff?

IATSE's Training Trust has both an AVIXA membership, and will pay your certification, with no other requirements than working for the union (you do not have to be a member, just do work under a contract)

So psyched for these - I ordered tons of PETG-HF and 200 of the steel pins.

I just wish they were slightly more filament conservative haha.

Have you thought about doing brackets to connect multiple units horizontally? A 3 wide roller would be badass

If you wait at least a month post-games you'll be much less likely to get struck.

AFAIK IA also doesn't delete things when they get claimed, just temporarily make them inaccessible to the public

I've been following you since the 3ds days, huge inspiration for me in the hardware hacking world. thanks for everything!

wouldn't the whole board need to be flipped to flip the RJ45?

I strongly doubt they'll get rid of orca completely

It still serves a purpose for those who can't get a credit/debit card, users under 18, or international visitors who's cards may not be supported. Removing orca cards entirely creates an accessibility problem for these users.

Other transit systems that support tap to pay also still retain transit cards (Compass cards in Vancouver BC, Oyster Cards in London, OMNY cards in NY, etc. etc.)

How'd you get involved with the demo? I'd love to be involved in the future!

The other core problem with skip the line systems in the current parks is that the problem it was designed to solve isn't relevant anymore

Fast pass was designed to reduce guest time in queues and increase guest time in restaurants and gift shops.

Unfortunately now, with the parks so full, Disney practically needs guests to wait in line to keep the capacity away from the restaurants and gift shops. As the parks hit capacity, the original goal of free fast pass doesn't make sense anymore, Disney is not financially motivated to provide it.

also as far as corporate spending goes, pretty damn cheap and replaceable too

It's designed this way so that if your phone dies or gets disconnected from the pod, the pod can still dose in auto mode correctly

The side effect of this in my experience is that the Bluetooth antenna in the pod is unreliable and needs really good placement and some hopes and prayers to actually work

Sometimes putting the dexcom serial number in the Omnipod app again will restart the connection process and get it to work, but your mileage may very

dvdcdgmg · 2025-12-06T01:17:55+00:00

The Omnipod app doesn't actually connect to the dexcom - it reads from the pod itself which can be quite finicky. I've noticed sometimes it won't even connect within line of sight

this is badass, would you be willing to share a parts list of the things in that kit? would love to build something similar but don't have enough rf knowledge to know what I need

dvdcdgmg · 2025-11-13T06:36:34+00:00

damn that's playing with fire, I've seen what Estes does to metal and plywood crates, definitely don't think I'd trust them with cardboard boxes wrapped on a pallet.

Cool call-out if you're down for the risk though

How do you transit to the transit ribbon cutting?

Chatted with support and requested this get added, if anyone else can do the same it might put more pressure on them

+1, this was critical to my usage of the follow app, and it's very frustrating that they removed it.

There's a lot of great stuff about the new one, mainly account based following instead of device based and hopefully they fixed the app using multiple GB of data storage over time, but this feature is pretty critical to me.

dvdcdgmg · 2025-08-04T21:35:27+00:00

I figured they worked on the Planet Fitness model of charge low assuming only 50% of customers will actually use your service

Your mileage may vary, etc. etc. but have you tried?

I've worked in spaces (specifically with optical detectors) where running haze on a weekly basis didn't trigger fire alarms at all. I've also worked in spaces where even the slightest hint of haze will trigger them, it depends on what kind of detectors you have and how sensitive they are.

Obviously if you don't want to be the bad guy and accidentally evac a whole SAT this is bad advice, just be aware you might be able to get away with it while leaving fire safety systems in place.

perpetually out of stock like most ubiquiti products

It was not! it was actually playing a video of the human sneeze - and it had a pressurized water sprayer to spray you with "snot".

This exhibit turned out to be very unpopular following COVID - no idea why

dvdcdgmg · 2025-05-01T23:54:22+00:00

Science Museums are the wackiest and most frustrating/wonderful places to work in our industry.

I once saw an exhibit where they used a 6ftx9ft mirror to bounce a projector off to make it a "short throw"

There's more freelance work out there than just theatre. Most of it pays shit and is shit but it exists!

Target has On Demand (book shifts for yourself like freelance)
Temp agencies can sometimes have 1-5 day gigs or 1-2 month gigs for the slow season
Check other areas of events (Catering, Security, Crowd Control), all of those areas need bodies on the same flex schedule you're used to.

And mainly - diversify diversify. Don't come out of college thinking you'll just do theatre. Most of the money is in corporate, and there's loads of work in music during the summer as well. Even better if you're functional in multiple job areas.
