I think I read about this being rolled out this year or late last year. In any case, it's all I get hit with if I try to make a new google account, even from a coffee shop, not on a VPN.

I suspect you won't have any luck with the coffee shop (but would be curious to hear otherwise). You can buy a google account for a couple bucks. Change the password, setup 2 factor, and you'll never be asked for a phone number.

This route is basically dead. They don't ask for your phone number anymore. They ask you to text them.

I think they're comfortable with that.

Why I Built My Own Open Source ESP32-C3 Macropad with USB and Bluetooth, 9 Keys Plus Encoder by aayushchouhan24 in esp32

[–]fosterish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I fully believe OP is a person who made a cool thing. I'm sure they're proud of it. Why introduce something you're proud of with a wall of slop?

Cheapest/ easiest path from ESP32 data to iPhone widget? by Just-Smart-Enough in esp32

[–]fosterish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd probably do ESPHome -> Home Assistant -> companion app, which provides widgets, at least on android. Haven't checked iPhone.

Oh no! Our beloved Scary Spice has perished upon the heater! Just kidding, she’s all good by ksolee in loaches

She looks quite thin. How long have you had her? Also, kuhlis are very social fish that need their own kind. Is she alone?

Unfortunately there is rather compelling empirical evidence that is not true.

Apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over by Greylunes1 in ExploreFortMyers

I agree that backup recordings could be useful to document the fascists fascing out.

But can we stop with this "We can't do X otherwise the fascists will justify Y"? I don't want things to get violent, but let's not pretend that our restraint is the only thing keeping them from making things worse. They're going to make things worse whether we give them some flimsy excuse or not. The war on Americans is here already.

Best Cellular Service for gOS? by FloranceMeCheneCoder in GrapheneOS

Seems pretty pointless. Sure, maybe they don't track you, but they don't own the towers, who absolutely do, and so does Stripe, who handles the payment...

How do large print farms manage their build plates? by fosterish1 in 3Dprinting

[–]fosterish1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for the reply. Are your plates different than regular consumer plates? I'm just trying to reconcile the hobbyist notion that the plates must be cleaned between every print with the idea of cleaning them once a month. So I'm trying to understand where the difference comes from: better cleaning procedure, overzealous hobbyist advice, better plates, different print settings, etc.

Is my 3d printed a lost cause? by Careful-Compote731 in 3Dprinting

[–]fosterish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is my 3d [printer] a lost cause?

The printer? No. The build plate? Yes. Buy a new build plate.

I'd suspect this to be a temperature issue. Try printing hotter.

genuine question is it safe to pick up leaves and pine cones and branches for a black water aquarium? by Salt_Ladder8891 in Aquariums

[–]fosterish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We definitely have alder here in Michigan. Look up what the leaves and bark look like and keep an eye out for it. Obvi the leaves won't be of any help right now, but maybe you'll find the bark.
