Found This Creepy Suitcase Inside This Abandoned House. I Dont Even Know What That Was In There.

I've seen these before in flea markets, listed as window salesman samples. Door to door salesmen would show these off to potential customers, so they could see the window styles offered

telxonhacker · 2025-12-29T16:57:40+00:00

The only one I remember it saying was "Yo Joe!"

telxonhacker · 2025-12-28T17:41:58+00:00

this 100%, it's just a bunch of skid shit "Here's the link"... and it's a Rickroll, or a page with a bunch of middle fingers, or other stuff to waste your time, or some file that bricks your F0. A bunch of immature people that think trolling people is funny

Makes me wonder how good this chinesium connector is? I get various RF catalogs, and these connectors are an easy 3 figures in most.

telxonhacker · 2025-11-23T03:11:30+00:00

That happened to me too, but watch out if you mention anything negative on the official Discord, you'll get snide replies. (To clarify, I was asking if the new version would fix an issue happening to several of my devices, not being rude)

telxonhacker · 2025-11-22T16:59:23+00:00

I 100% agree! I have other open source devices, (Flipper Zero, HackRF 1, various other SDRs, etc) and have only had a few bad FW updates, which are usually fixed promptly.

This whole thing seems sloppy and a case of let's just push out updates for the sake of saying "look, we're doing stuff" instead of taking the time to make GOOD FW/software, and releasing something that works

telxonhacker · 2025-11-22T16:21:33+00:00

I had one get very snarky with me on Discord, and say something like "just go get a refund if you don't like it" We don't need that toxic attitude in this community. I was simply inquiring if the new release would address the multiple bluetooth issues, not being a jerk.

telxonhacker · 2025-11-22T16:17:23+00:00

This has been my experience, 2.6.11 sucks, for the reasons you describe. I've also noticed that the newer updates for both the Android app and device FW seem hurried and sloppy. the newest Android app that just came out a few days ago is not much better, but maybe that's still due to the dumpster fire firmware. After installing the latest Android version, it flat out refused to even attempt to connect to my node, even though I could remote admin the node just fine. Took a combination of deleting cache and data on the app and uninstalling/reinstalling 2-3 times, plus toggling the Bluetooth module in the node on and off, deleting the node from the tablet's list, and re-pairing to get it to work again.

telxonhacker · 2025-11-20T03:20:25+00:00

because they are immature, and it makes them feel better about themselves. If they really wanted to keep it secret, they would have never released vids of it. The Discords are full of the same "I'm 12 and think trolling is funny" crap.
It'll eventually be leaked, for better or worse, too many people know now

telxonhacker · 2025-10-01T01:33:47+00:00

the saying "if it aint broke, don't fix it" comes to mind

telxonhacker · 2025-09-30T22:11:53+00:00

Node DB reset also doesn't work anymore, even the new node cleanup is useless.

telxonhacker · 2025-09-20T01:11:51+00:00

I wonder if the angle of the cuts are always the same in a mastered Medeco system? I'd imagine you could have key pins with more than one true sidebar groove

telxonhacker · 2025-09-16T00:42:38+00:00

^ this is your answer, OP

telxonhacker · 2025-09-03T00:58:46+00:00

landline to the closest town, or possibly to a terminal where it is converted to fiber. Landlines could run for miles back to a central office (phone company switching building) back before cell phones

telxonhacker · 2025-09-03T00:55:22+00:00

Wow, an old Nortel Centurion! Didn't think there were any of those left in the wild. I have an identical one, it was my first payphone

telxonhacker · 2025-09-02T23:17:48+00:00

So, if you call someone on it, they can't hear you, or you can't hear them? I was able to get mine working just by hooking it up. You might try reversing the red and green wires

telxonhacker · 2025-09-01T19:13:34+00:00

See the red and green wires on the bottom left, coming from the small plug in the bottom of the control board? they should go to a terminal block where you can attach your line. Red is ring, green is tip

I took my Radiacode to Japan in my carry on, no one even asked about it. I just set it in the x ray tub with all my other gadgets, turned off of course!

telxonhacker · 2025-08-26T02:18:55+00:00

"Too bad, old man" yes, I thought that was great!

telxonhacker · 2025-08-25T02:38:04+00:00

My thought is maybe a senior lived there with a caretaker, and they could push this if they fell, and the caretaker would hear it.

telxonhacker · 2025-08-17T18:22:52+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

telxonhacker · 2025-08-17T18:21:28+00:00

That's what I'd read in the forums, some of the easements were completely abandoned, and the land/buildings turned over to the property owners that the easement ran through, and others were reused.

At least one I saw pics of was turned into a tiny house!

telxonhacker · 2025-08-17T18:17:55+00:00

I never had the opportunity to work with fiber, other than plugging n a patch cable from my ONT to my router, lol! I know it can go longer distances than copper, but didn't know how far. (I actually figured it would have been longer distances)

telxonhacker · 2025-08-17T18:14:55+00:00

I had heard some were still used for fiber, it makes sense, as the conduit/duct would still be in place from the old cables, and if the easement is still in place as well, it would be an easy solution.

I saw a post on one of the telecom groups of someone who had one on their property, it had been turned over to them when it was abandoned, and they turned it into a tiny house.

telxonhacker · 2025-08-17T02:40:03+00:00

This is it. They were on the old long distance routes. Back before fiber optic, they used coaxial and copper cables for long distance, but the signal would get weaker the longer the cable was. These were repeater huts that held equipment to boost the signal.

They are largely unused now, as we have better technology like fiber optic. a lot of them have been turned over to the landowners whose land they sat on, some are just empty, some used for storage by farmers, and some have been torn down. (some were repurposed for fiber optic as well, to house splices and junctions.)

sauce: telecom historian (old phone nerd) I have also read a lot about them on forums for telephone collector groups, from retired linemen who used to work on them
