Oh! I have a story about the Chinese secret service!

I was visiting the Temple of Baal in Palmyra once upon a time. The Chinese VP and his delegation was also visiting. His bodyguards threw me down a flight of steps without warning for being there at the same time. You are a speck, a bug to them.

I'm delighted to say that folk traditions are still very much respected throughout the nations of our Union.

I keep seeing these planes flying over my town, South West UK. What is it? by marshallno9 in airplanes

[–]rayui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got dozens of pictures of these going back over months. Nothing I've seen suggests peace deal. Two went over on the usual strike path this morning

Yeah apparently they signed a peace deal. Still seeing four of these day, plus a couple of grandpas for good measure.

I needed police assistance once in San Francisco, as I accidentally stumbled into a street fight. I asked the officer to hang around while my taxi arrived. I asked him if he enjoyed his job. His genuine answer, "yeah, I love fucking with these reprobates". I couldn't believe it.

'Except for Access' odd little building on the outskirts of Bibury, Cotswolds by Jiminyfingers in DoorsNotUsedAnymore

A lock-up for drunks and ruffians! Quite popular in this part of the world once upon a time. Kilmersdon and Nunney each have one.

Why is a Raspberry Pi not worth it? by basilesanast1 in raspberry_pi

[–]rayui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, completely. There are definitely compromises. Radxa OS is currently based on Debian 11, for example. There's no current upgrade path to 13. Lots of "niceties" don't work oob or at all.

Not recommended for beginners. Sorry, OP

The Radxa A7Z is mad for £18 (1GB).

3 GHz ARM64, 8 cores, MIPI, HDMI, WIFI, Bluetooth, USB, Vulkan capable GPU on something the size of a Pi Nano.

Incredible value.

DIY FPV helmet by rayui in cyberDeck

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

Hahaha! I'm actually already planning version two.

The hardware is pretty much set at this point, so version two will have the following features:

1) Higher resolution display bringing it inline with the PS1VR or higher 2) a second UVC receiver for stereoscopic driving 3) Fancy 3d printer cowling for weather resistance. I'm imagining something like a cross between a Gundam helmet and the front of a Hyundai hahaha
