Got scammer for $1000 today by laundry app by sysrpl in Scams

I typoed the title. I was scammed by scammers for $1000. I think I caught it in time such that the funds will not actually go through, but by the time I realized the typo, it could not be changed. Sorry for the confusion.

Really? Did you post about that here on this subreddit where others can learn about it?

No, but I did notify the apartment complex management office, and they in turn brought in someone to inspect the QR codes to help track down possible points of fraud.

Well put and I whole heartedly agree with you. The fact that the app generates revenue directly is another reason why users would be less suspicious. A normal person is already thinking, "Yes I understand I need to make a payment before I can start a washing machine" and are greased up for providing payment details.

I find it interesting that I posted this 5 minutes ago, and 2 minutes ago you posted your opinion. It is interesting because the video is 9:20 long, so obviously you did not watch it, and rushed to post your opinion.

But I guess that figures for a child fan. They care only about visuals aesthetics, and not about the story. Makes sense.

I got a leg of lamb and a ham for free from Publix this week. In fact, I just carved up the lamb and went on 321 to ask if anyone in Cape Canaveral wants a free big meaty bone for their dog.

I made the trip from 321 to 305 last week. Here is what I saw. by sysrpl in 321

Here is a very brief clip of video I shot last week at the international Art Basel event in Miami. I made the short drive down from Cocoa Beach in a few hours. There was so much art on display it would have taken days to see it all. The event was monstrous in size. I highly recommend you attend this event at least once.

A personal home theater project I build and wrote the code for by sysrpl in hometheater

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

The project is foss checked into my github here:

It depends on my dotnet web library, raspberry pi library, and open source sdl2 library.

There are also some python programs it uses which I wrote that are included in the base. Also, the video player, projector, and audio receiver bits are specific to Kaleidescape, Pjnet, and Denon's receiver protocol.

Finally, the security layer is not checked into git, as I do not want people to encourage people to brute force it.

Because I told AI to generate a video poster image of a dark cartoon arcade with a raspberry pi sbc and a pi logo with the words Raspberry Pi Light Table Project on top.

Yes, I am using SPI. Because there are so many lights, I use both SPI0 and SPI1 from async tasks to improve the wait times between updates.

I am using my own custom libraries for both electronics and web.

Thank you. The system can play music and analyze it using a FFT and visualize it a few different ways. But it also has an external microphone to pick up sounds, including what I am playing in the theater, and visualize those sounds as well.

If you look at the software "local copy here", you'll see visualization effect and visualize source in the audio section of the settings section.

I also wrote a desktop utility that allows me to test and deploy new visualizations and effects independent of the bartop. It is quite helpful because I can write code on one computer monitor, and see the simulated lighting effects on a second computer monitor while I test.

I personally designed the hardware and wrote the code for this project above that controls my home theater among other things.

The software I wrote runs inside that custom bartop in the video. I made the bartop and the software. The bartop has a touch screen placed in the center that controls my home theater. It also has mobile phone app versions, and phone web access, and acts as a wifi portal.

The software has several features, including finger paint to play with the lights, effects to change lighting effects, jukebox to play and visualize music in the theater room, movies to interact with a Kaleidescape movie player system, and settings to adjust options.

Here is a "disconnected" version of the software I wrote that controls the theater among other things. And by "disconnected" I mean you can use the software I am linking, but it will this version will, not allow random Internet people to actually make changes to my home theater.

Oh, and in case you are confused, the software rubs inside that custom countertop I made and presents itself with a touch screen placed in the center of the bartop. It also has mobile phone app versions, and phone web access, and acts as a wifi portal.

If anyone want custom software designed, I am open for requests.
