I guess because Russia and China, the countries they worked in, think Westerners can code better than North Koreans?

I don't know if I'd call it a scam so much as slavery.

I don't get it, why the inquisitive fave?

Paraphrasing Kurt Cobain?

"I am not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes."

Shit maybe the CIA is slowly deprogramming him, who knows. He's announced funding back to Ukraine, they've asked for the details. Again I'll wait till I see concrete action.

Trump likes Putin because he showered him with praise and admiration for 20 years, not because of some threats of blackmail. He got invited to all the big parties in Moscow, but never got invited to any in Britain, or France, or Washington, hence why he hates them and loves Russia.

This? This is all theater for the part of the Republicans that still don't like Putin. This isn't real action.

Man I wish he'd bring war to the warmongers, instead of threatening Canada and Greenland and Europe.

This feels fake, though. Theater for the anti-Russian GOP.

Well that's why they're winning, because they have no problem employing spies.

You pretend, for a little while, then slowly introduce truth to them drip by drip. Like an undercover propaganda agent.

Since that's probably what they're doing to us.

i want to have that conversation, tell me about the good features and choices

Because Fox News is about to remind everyone he was getting his toes sucked by a trafficked girl on an Epstein flight?

 

I am autistic and I fucking love sensors and data. I put all of them on one screen. It's like heroin for me.

I just think we could be putting that correct info into the same propaganda techniques that evil people use to convince people to hate and work themselves to death.

Like if you can trick someone into hating their peers, surely you can trick them into loving them?

 

Here is the code:

https://github.com/yucandu/Reginald

It consists of an ESP32-S3 "Supermini" dev board, a 2.0" IPS TFT, and some switches and buttons. $15 CAD total. I already had an old LaCrosse lying around. Lots of help from ChatGPT and Claude parsing the MLB JSON API.

Completely removed all its internals, some cutting of plastic involved.

It needs to be the S3 and not the cheaper C3 because the MLB live game API, which has all the latest pitch details, is so fucking huge. >1MB of text data, need RAM. A Raspberry Pi would be better suited but would be more expensive.

If the strikezone looks tiny, it's because it's to scale - maximum height of 4'7 (thanks Aaron Judge), the rectangle automatically adjusts for each pitch based on the reported strike zone size.

I wanted something that shows all the pitches and their speeds with different icons for the pitch types, like they use in Japanese baseball.

I plan on adding more features later. I managed to incorporate the two switches from the LaCrosse unit as well as adding a 5-way switch of my own. Not sure what to do with them yet.
