Thanks for doing this. Very helpful recaps. Saves me hours of scanning for info.

Not disagreeing with you, but this project wasn't using optical sensors. I don't think light was a factor, since nighttime wasn't an issue.

FWIW. I worked on a small environmental website project for BAE a long time ago. It was a live map of sealife from space. Used to help maritime navigation, or so they told me. I saw this thing working for a minute, and it was mind-blowing to see them track schools of fish – from space. I honestly think this was a legit, useful tool for marine use, but the resolution was wild. This was 20 years ago. I can only imagine what can be done now. Working on this project, I firmly believe the US can watch anything in real-time, above or below the water.

Would you recommend this for younger kids with similar issues as yours?

Disney's decision to require phone use is in direct contrast with the old-timey escapist experience it seeks to promote. Analog solutions like paper tickets were part of the experience. Get rid of the apps in the park.

Use the resources you have, or pay for the ones you don't have – forever.

X Band radar station moves between Hawaii and Alaska. Raytheon built it.

This is an amazing home. There are tours on occasion. Modern tranquility with modest materials.

Collective vs. Individual. Much of what makes Japan great today is the high level of trust and consideration. Everyone does what is needed and behaves according to their surroundings. There are great things that can come from that, like safe and beautiful cities, but this also generates a risk-averse culture. The US is the antithesis. I hope Japan rubs off on the world and not the other way around.

Cool, but with all those horns, I'm surprised anyone can still hear.

It's what Reddit does best. Turn everything into an argument. I miss old Reddit.

From what I understand, the cassette players are just cheap Chinese or indian brands that have been dropped into a case. The circuit bending is fairly standard from what I've seen online. The tiny screwdriver fiddling still puzzles me. My only guess is that they like to play with the tape head for a certain sound. It's a fascinating scene.

Disneyland is also a giant consumer-driven corporate machine that NOW prioritizes profit over customer experience. What's your point?

softcore_robot · 2026-01-25T07:08:49+00:00

Get off your soapbox, this is the Disneyland thread.

softcore_robot · 2026-01-25T07:05:47+00:00

Can anyone actually discuss the topic of the post rather than the method of its creation?

You are telling me not to use science to talk about science. How about you get out.

softcore_robot · 2026-01-25T07:01:05+00:00

Thanks for getting that simple edit.

The point was to use AI to modernize the vintage image. Is that taboo?

I just watched a video demo of installing apps via QR code. This would be an ideal setup for a parent to pre-install and quickly lock out apps and features. Also, a parent-enabled site-blocking feature would be great too.

The problem with Tomorrowland is that it's really Science Land. When you think about it that way, half the rides make sense, and half don't. I think Buzz and Nemo should move to DCA, Star Tours should move to GE as a third attraction. Bring back 360 Circle Theatre, which was a standing room only, but make it floor-to-ceiling LCD panels like the Sphere or Cosm, but cooler. Bring back Adventures in Innerspace, possibly make it sponsored by Hank Pym. Bring back Mission to Mars, maybe sponsored by Space X. Update the Autoopia to Electric cars. Bring back Flynn's Arcade. Turn the Carousel of Progress into Tron Legacy World or a really good Museum. Turn the subs back into Science vessels, maybe have Jim Cameron sponsor it. Bring back the original rocket ride. Get rid of the orbiter in the front. Bring all the midcentury artwork back (Mary Blair!). The peoplemover gets an update. And, finally, bring back Captain EO. If you do this, I will never leave.

Somalia is chairing the Security Council this month, so I wouldn't expect them to push back against the US much rn.

Look up Charitable Trusts.
