    I disagree, it was always supposed to be a way for the US government to do whatever the heck it wants using 9/11 as an excuse.

    I'm sure they know perfectly well that other huge companies (Apple, microsoft, google, etc.) all have products that directly infringe on this patent.  It's just that they also know if they were to dare poke a giant like that they'd be crushed in an instant.  Obviously a case of picking on the little guy hoping they can't defend themselves.

    This is funny because the iphone 4 and 5 were probably the last of the apple devices that could actually be used for this many years without issue.

    I had gotten a Samsung Tab S5e a couple of weeks ago, and I'm posting this message with it. I had just received (a couple of days back) a 512GB Patriot Class 10 U3 microSD card and backlit keyboard/case to go with the tablet. 

     
    The keyboard/case thingy is pretty good, when I close it, my S5e goes into stndby mode, and it does several colors,

     

     
    I'm sticking with white backlight myself for now....

    I mostly do Technic stuff, here's my most recent project:
    It's an Arnfield-style gravity escapement with a triple-pulley weight and a differential maintaining power. It's a little dusty because it's been dormant for a couple months; developed an irregular rhythm after I knocked the pendulum and I've been waiting to get access to the Legos again so I can add to it when I readjust it. Prior to that it had been running nonstop for more than 6 months. The runtime is about 25 hours with a 1-meter drop, and when properly adjusted I actually can't measure any inconsistency in its rhythm with a stopwatch and a few hours to kill. I haven't added a display yet because I'm working on a full-fat perpetual calendar mechanism.
     
    The problem with a clock made of Legos is that the pieces just aren't precise enough; all axles are bent just enough and all gears are just asymmetrical enough to make a precise anchor or deadbeat escapement near-impossible. That's the beauty of a gravity escapement: It doesn't matter if the driving power is inconsistent, because the thing that's pushing the pendulum is effectively a free-hanging weight.
     
    The open differential sitting on top is the addition of a cousin who insisted it was a mechanically necessary component.

    Today I woke up at noon for whatever reason. I saw my cat laying near me (the one pictured below). As I went to pet her little head, something felt off. I did not realize how bad this day was going to be until I touched her little head. It was cold. I was instantly stunned, got out of bed, sobbing my ass off. This was in the span of 2 minutes after waking up. I yelled for anyone in the house to help. My little brother was the only one home. I got my phone to call my mom asap but it was dead. I quickly got on Facebook, told my stepdad to get home asap because our princess has died. They rushed home and we wrapped her in a blanket, brought her to the vet to get cremated, tried to eat (I couldn't eat, not even my fat-ass nature could help me). This was the worst day of my life.

    Her name was Wiggles and we got her when I was 3 (I am 16). She was super healthy and happy up until her last moments alive. Other than the checkups my family did with her, no vet visits ever. She had fun, ate healthy (but still was chubby), socialized with our other 3 cats, socialized with humans. The only time she was ever unhappy was when we moved and tbh none of our cats liked it. She was one of two cats of ours that have died (one died a few years back from a poisonous spider in the garage, which from that point on we took all possible precautions to protect the rest of our cats). She was our 2nd oldest, our oldest being Tom (who is 14). She and Tom were awesome to each other (tom and wiggles in pic 2, stealing one of our dogs doggy bed). She always went to cuddle me when my depression got super bad, and she always squeaked at me when she knew i needed love (she never meowed only squeaked).
