Pretty sure the rest of the thing is potted. I can see a port where they appear to have injected potting compound. It’s an Aspen Pumps Mini Lime Silent+ if anybody is curious. FP3321/5

this is like when the runescape bot farm owner jumps on one of the bot accounts to talk to the person griefing their bots.

Somebody (@schratze@todon.nl) points out how ridiculous this is.

Somewhat overlooked but I think the most egregious fuckery pulled by Apple this year... Pro camera controls (I.e. the ability to directly set stuff like effective shutter speed, ISO etc) are not just a new thing in iOS 27, they're feature-flagged to only work on the new iPhone 18 lmao. Fuck youuuu.

Pro Controls only appears in the feature list for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, not the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Here we go. Sepura SRP2000 (1st Gen). Pretty radical departure from the SRP01 I've looked at before. Much more integrated, considering this is only 4 or 5 years newer the advancement is pretty impressive. Especially the miniaturisation. Unfortunately almost […] [Original post on furry.engineer]
