Hi, I'm Pier. I have been writing a newsletter called The Web Scraping Club for three years now. I've scraped my own newsletter and put all the content in a custom GPT you can find at this link https://chatgpt.com/g/g-80sKwvcnf-the-web-scraping-club-gpt It's still not perfect; sometimes it hallucinates, but not that bad. Feel free to leave your feedback.

Edit: it’s a GPT for learning web scraping and brainstorm in case you’re looking for a solution to an issue or a new tool to try.

This development: https://www.404media.co/it-is-now-legal-to-hack-mcflurry-machines-and-medical-devices-to-fix-them/

And horror stories like this: https://www.vice.com/en/article/why-repair-techs-are-hacking-ventilators-with-diy-dongles-from-poland/?ref=404media.co or https://www.404media.co/the-walls-are-closing-in-on-john-deeres-tractor-repair-monopoly/

Have inspired me to look around for something akin to a github repo or PDF with various technical workarounds for fixing McFlurry machines and other hilariously overprotected commercial hardware. Lo and behold though, I've found nothing of the sort short of more news articles on the topic. All of this is to say I'd be extremely interested in finding out what resources for bypassing DRM to essential repairs on commercial equipment folks HN might know about to perhaps start compiling it. Maybe I missed that something like this exists already, in which case I'd be very happy to avoid reinventing the wheel and check it out haha.

Funny enough I'm not a technician myself or anything. Personally, I'm thinking more along the lines of how handy it would be to not need to worry about a DRM hold-up on the one intact piece of industrial food processing equipment at the frozen pizza factory me and the other survivors are held up at (fortunately one of the survivors was actually a line worker here) surrounded by the zombie horde (or whatever massive societal collapse you wanna imagine that terminates your ability to call tech support). You better believe DRM will still be enforced long after the breakdown of any legal system built to enforce it. As far as the technical protection measures in this place go, it really doesn't matter whether us survivors starve or not XD

(Sorry to repost, the original went up waaay too early to get any answersand I genuinely would like a few)

Invention idea. Rip this apart and tell me why I'm wrong.

Ok, here's the idea - it's a desalination plant like the windtrap from Dune.

You make a mega structure like the windtrap from Dune 2000. You then coat the outside of the shell with solar panels and the inside with thermoelectric strips that make it colder on the inside. So after a while there should be a cloud within this several story building.

Then what you do is you put a Tesla coil on the inside so that when it goes off the lightning makes it rain. It turns out that lightning inside clouds can make it rain! Which might work even on smaller clouds with less moisture content.

You'd probably have to make it quite large to have the necessary efficiency gains. And I don't know if this would work all the time as you might just end up sucking all the moisture out of the air around the windtrap unless there was significant amounts of wind.

Thoughts?
